That's crazy.

I've been following R35 threads with interest and will continue too. These things are worrying, particularly on the insurance front.

Still, there'll be some cheap cat d write offs, remove the struts and the ECU (saving weight) and put it back on the road or track

. The aftermarket will make a killing on parts if Nissan don't sort out their prices.

It definately needs looking into otherwise residuals will be hit terribly. The crazy pricing of parts was the same on the R34, where the front lower lip/undercover was £650-£1000 for a piece of plastic. They got away with it to an extent because they were so few in numbers. I remember speaking to Nissan France etc about the prices to no avail. Thankfully GTC came up trumps with a carbon version for £200-300.

Good luck to all of you.

Regards
Nito
