I'm jealous of the beautiful surroundings and the obviously fun weekend in general... but those temps make me really jealous right now! I'm not surprised you didn't have problems when it was 100% stock at those temps... I'm not hitting limp mode in my commute in 43C air - figure the roads are...

I definitely plan on getting one... but that doesn't mean I'm getting rid of the MKV (that is if the 400Z actually arrives with a 6MT option). Likely going to be the last Nissan with three pedals, and if it really does take 2-3 years... that's even more assured. I just hope Nissan can stay...

I'd be interested in knowing how much of that was due to the heat exchanger and radiators alone. Or to put it another way, if the meth-cooling made the largest difference in the change. I certainly understand grouping upgrades to reduce installation time, but that's a bunch at once so it's...

I couldn't agree more. While being able to be authoritative below 80Hz is important (though arguably less critical for music than movie soundtracks)... much of what we perceive as bass is decently above that level. The midbass range is super important for almost every genre other than...

In my case it's almost always the opposite - being that it usually occurs at the end of a spirited drive (and almost exclusively when driving in sport mode on rougher stretches of pavement). I have noticed it a couple of times early on, but usually it's after 15-20 minutes of driving. It seems...

It's likely that replacement amps (at least those specifically designed for drop-in PnP swaps) would include DSP in the amp module. However, for those doing a more custom install... that extra real estate could be very useful for something like an RTA module or outboard DSP. Thinking something...

I'm sure without coding it disabled first it would likely throw an error - whether it would indicate in the gauge/nav as a malfunction or not is less clear. I guess the big question is whether or not the coding prevents any signal to or from the unit or simply mutes the output but leaves the...

This. :yes: Also... property can lose value too (significantly if you remember the last financial collapse) and businesses can fail completely (as they are in this financial collapse). There's always a risk of loss, but few are as much fun as depreciating my Supra with unnecessary mileage has...

Certainly the same could be said for anyone that purchased a MKIV back when they were readily found for $30K or so on the used market. In all of those cases however, you will likely need to wait at least 10-20 years before the curve bends in the opposite direction - and you'll only know if you...

I've never seen depreciation that was worse than a lease once everything is factored in... it's not like 50HP cut the resale in half... the BMW drivetrain didn't change... so it's still going to depreciate fast compared to a Corolla, Camry, or Tacoma. On the other hand, it's about 500% more fun...

The point is to get you prepared for when you need to take it in for service. They know about 5000% more about sales than they do about service. :nono:

Well, I was actually referring to the 3.0 Premium. There was no way in hell I was going to buy an LE in the first place (the only colors I would even consider were yellow and matte) and I definitely am not in the "red interior FTW" camp after having one in my RC-F. :puke: There was even less...

Although I'm naturally irritated that the MY21 A91 winds up essentially only a $1500 "appearance bump" - not too much, considering I've been enjoying the hell out of the last 6 months of driving rather than just sitting and waiting. I'm relieved however, that the MSRP didn't drop at least...

Exactly... that's why I predicted "barely recognizable as a Supra". Even at the 8 second point, you've left almost all of "streetable" on the floor of your shop - and as a result significantly limited your ability to get meaningful ROI on that pursuit. If you're the first, or you already have...

I'd be amazed if it's that soon. The trans isn't going to hold it, the suspension won't either... and by the time the chassis is modified enough to run enough slick to hook it... it's going to be barely recognizable as a supra. Huge difference between AWD and RWD in that area. 1000HP is...

That's the automotive version of "drumming fingers" - it was simply begging for you to press down on that right pedal. ;) I guess I drive more "spiritedly" than I gave myself credit for... I almost never see the needle below 2K even in auto/comfort mode while driving. Which is weird because I...

Amen to that. Well, as long as the badge doesn't say "YUGO" on it. :p

I was looking at a Cayman S as well, but as a daily driver I also wanted what amounted to nearly $30K in options (or $10K in options on a GTS) just to essentially match what the Supra came with stock (well Premium with the DA package). Also considered the C8 originally, but didn't feel like...

I've had similar issues (but different). I basically don't have any vibration at all (or even on strong it's so weak it's lost in the road feedback). But yeah resetting the profile and messing with the BSM got it working again when it just stopped working a few weeks ago. :rolleyes: I'll...

So with likely more than a bit of cognitive bias (from driving mostly German cars on German roads)... the end result is: Literally the only aspect of the Supra which Toyota was responsible for... is completely unworkable to the point of being dangerous, and needs replacement. :rofl: Honestly...
