Precise1 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I go through tires every 5-8k miles on my CBR, and that is with a dual compound in the rear. PFFT! Amateurs!! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yep looks like around 15,000 miles. That's crazy $1500 in tires every year and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pav Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 So the trans fluid replacement estimate I heard about wasn't too far off then... How often do you have to replace the tires on it? I would imagine that would depend on the tire but performance tires aren't known for long life and low price either. Anyone willing to buy a vehicle like that must definitely have a foundation with money to burn. At least if it's used as a daily driver. I see them on the road in Montreal all year...it hurts to see them go though our rough winters but also good to see they can take the punishment... I wonder how much a winter tire set up would cost...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Notice in the manual you also have to change the brake fluid every 3000 miles. They have 4 wheel drive so they are good for the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Rockauto has the calipers for a 2012 GT-R for $388 with the core charge !! Nevermind, I thought I looked up the rotors but they are the calipers, no listing for the rotors Edited February 1, 2013 by ahardb0dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor636 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I cant believe you have techs who can work on that. Local parts guy couldnt figure out what a 510 was when I needed a fuel line once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local parts guy couldnt figure out what a 510 was when I needed a fuel line once. Whats a 510? LOL I love the 510, nice car!! Great track car too! We have a technician;older guy, who started with Datsun in 1979. Has more Nissan/Datsun certifications that I can count. He is a great resource.

Trogdor636 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I love 510's. I've owned a couple, but sold them. I'd be happy with a 2 door with a SR20DET. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkorahil Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 1996 Hardbody 4WD 4cyl driven by a young female college student. Truck was very nice to see on the outside, very good condition body and underneath, but a beyond trashed interior. I have seen interiors sitting in salvage yards in better condition...it was even missing the transfer case knob. Sad. Customer complaint: "It used to go if you reved it up and put it in third gear.....now it wont go at all....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
