The problem is going to arrive when the new owner comes on here telling us all about the rare" dakar" he's the new owner of.Only to be told by dozens of owners that no such car was ever made

Instead of digging at the guy like old women with the i know something you dont know why don't you just put him straight?
When gtirs first started coming over here all the light weight jobbies were labeled as dakars.
Where this ever come from I do not know but I believed it aswell 15 years ago as no one knew any better at that time.
This dakar is all just a myth,the real name for the basic lightweight gtirs is RB simular to the way light weight evos use RS.
So your dakar is an RB model gtir as dakars do not exist as far as I know.

Nah, that says "Pulsar" above the old square "Nissan" badge. B4HKSs earlier photos on other threads show it clearly too. If it is an original RB then its bound to have some rarity value, although it's obviously a big-spec car so most of that originality will be gone. Where did that whole RB/Dakar legend thing come from anyway, because I remember hearing it back when I bought mine.
It's a UK thing because I never heard the RB referred to as "Dakar" when I lived in Australia.
In the case of this car I thought it was a bit of an in-joke; like you might refer to "the Car Planet EVO" or "the Gobstopper Imprezza".
The badges are just the wrong way around then?

Just checked on photos, mines got the 'Pulsar' badge above the square Nissan word badge, same as B4HKSs one, and that's not something I've changed.
