sure a GTR the would be quick but its is a bloated supercar that drives itself, where is the fun in that. And I'd imagine it would send ya broke just servicing the bitch. Give me the FD2R thanks. !!
its a shame Honda Aust screwed us over and didn't bring it in. I'd have grabbed one.
This is what happens when people prefer "hot hatches" over a sports sedan. You cannot compare a FD2R to any GT-R as they are two completely different levels of car. Tho for this sort of money personally you could build a nice turbo S2K or go and hunt down the lucky guy who brought that Mugen RR a while back and pay an extra 10K for complete exclusiveness
is this the same chassis as the local model ? Whats stopping some kid here just swapping everything onto a local model for 1/3 the price ?
A friend of mine has already gone down that path. He has swapped a K20Z4 in, fitted Mugen RR kit etc etc (when it's just a FD1 chassis). Obviously he does not have the refined chassis like the FD2R, but nothing a shit load of bracing can't fix
its the same logic as a Eg with b18c , DC4 with K20 etc. With bracing and work the older chassis can match or beat the original chassis the motor came out of. But thats up to the individual to decide whether its worth it or notQuote:

I think so but it's really no replacement for stiffening bars
Plus the engine is the most powerful out of the k series
only a enthusiast would spend 55k on a civic, everyone else who wants to go fast would buy gtr/sti/evo/rx7 lol
If the dealer at sydney was right..he could import a fd2r .. He said he could import any car cus he's an import dealer..is that true?
nice collection, but i'd prefer fd vti with k24 in it so noone notice it
