:sad1: don't know why as I've only just gone 2+ but the Nissan GTR has got me thinking about it wayyyy to much :fighting:
Only had my ED30 for 9 months and I've got it for another 4 years but I can't help but wonder! I'm only 23 so insurance would be a mega mega no no! I'm just being stupid but need to express :fighting2:
However....when I'm 25 I'll get one :grin:
Go on then! Start the beating!! :rolleye:

I guess they're ok if your day job is done at night and involves white powder.
-
over hyped, two of my friends have em. Well had, 1 sold as it was too easy to drive

:congrats: your not helping the situation :signLOL:
-
A few friends of mine have them and they're not too bad to drive I found but I'd hate to own one especially with the silly servicing costs involved but it would be an upgrade from my big V8 that I'm used to driving :)

:signLOL:
i also rele like these aswell :evilgrin:

I've looked into that, 1st 3 seem not to bad but after that they do cost! Most say if you use them as a road car then there ok but as a track car there very expensive! Tyres brakes etc...
-
everytime i look at something like that i always think, nah would still rather have an M3, Audi RS or AMG, i dont think Japanese cars date very well as a general rule, GTR might be different though
-
I agree ive never wanted one and would never buy one, there is so much cars out there id rather own - just not in to jap cars......... However that doesnt stop it being the fastest most impressive car ive ever been in.

Spot on! :happy2:
-
Agree to a point regarding Japanese cars not dating well, apart from the NSX! :love:
-
I think if your looking for a drivers car then the GTR is not it, if you want something point to point that is pretty much faster than most things on the road then your aiming for the right car, i think most cars fear them :evilgrin: including some of the exotica from the germans and italians and at around 1/4 the price :happy2:
If you want a drivers car maybe the M3 is a better option but unless you own a pair of orange oakleys dont bother as you will stand out too much :P, I dont hate M3's (in fact im lucky enough to have driven an M3 CSL) but I just dislike most of the owners of M3's :fighting:
I am already prepared to be shot down by M3 lovers or told im talking tosh, but my opinion is just that! :booty:
-
The GTR is just so fast and looks sexy! It's the back end :drool: big power potential too :driver:
M3 doesn't really appeal to me, used to want the E46 but chose my ed30 over it once I had driven both
:smiley:
-
I like the GTR alot but would definitely never own one.
Running costs, potential engine/gearbox failure would be :scared: :scared: :scared:
-
A few engines have gone pop, and my mates needed a new gearbox. Also had the driveshaft issue. Oh and better brakes required for track work.
I personally can't stand GTR owners. They never wanna play and they all think their car is the fastest thing on the road when alot of cheap modded cars are just as fast or faster. Granted a remapped GTR is silly quick, but a mapped 911 turbo PDk is still quicker.
Will be interesting to see how my mates 600hp gtr does at the 30-130 compares to the rest of the gang.
-
Every car has it's "stereotypical" owner, just depends what forum you're on as to what that sterotype is - plenty of people think VAG owners are t***s. ... disliking someone because of the car they own is on par with disliking them because of the colour of their skin. Retarded.
Thoughts: You may be able to buy a GTR, but can you afford to run one?? £50k cars still have £50k running costs, and worse still, they have lazy owners who sell cars rather than deal with expensive routine - meaning unless you know the car and owner, you're highly likely to land a sh*tter.

Yep! talking Tosh gain. :P :laugh: you sound like an investment broker who just wasn't quite good enough at his job, to be able to afford an M3. :innocent: :signLOL: :wink:

I would have an M3 or Porka over the GTR any day of the week......
After all it's a Nissan... :signLOL:
-
You get a warranty with the car and gearbox repalcements are not cheap whatever the car
Running costs are not as bad as some guys think,

Lets get this out the way, if I wanted a GTR, I would buy one. Now lets move on.
Define fast. A tuned 2.0TFSI is fast, but put it next to a tuned 911 turbo is it still fast? I suppose it all depends on what you are used to. Some people would say a clio 197 is fast. I used to think a mk2 leon cupra was a rocket when I first got that car, would I still describe it as that now? Nope.
75k these days mate the GTR, and still over hyped. Funny how the new 911 cooking models are trumping the GTR in the car reviews even though they have a massive power disadvantage.
I suppose for the average driver ofcourse they are gonna think its the best thing ever, but when you actually put the GTR up in some real life side by side rolling drags it will soon open your eyes. How about a fwd mk1 audi a3 1.8t with a 50 pounds scooby ihi turbo from the scrappy being quicker? Granted its stripped out but theres a 2k car being quicker, although its no good at anything else :grin
650hp GTR vs stock 911 turbo s pdk and the porka is quicker also.
Its a bit like the focus RS, people used to think that was like the king of all hothatches and nothing would be able to touch it.
The most spectacular thing about the GTR is the way it runs out of steam at higher speeds which is probably down to the gearing selection being chosen on the basis of making the best possible generic mag stats 0-60, 0-100 etc etc, and no matter what nissan or those silly evo magazines tell you its weight will always be its biggest flaw and what holds it back.
Before buying the TTRS the GTR was on my list. However I didnt get it due to its weight. Putting a 1800kg car round a track doesnt make sense to me, no matter what any car mag says.
Anyway, having actually been in stock and tuned GTR's and two of my friends having owned them I have some actually insight and feedback as what its really like to own one, and not basing my opinion of some car mag that ive read who will maybe have had the car for 2-3 days with the only objective of ragging it around.
GTR's dont seem to hold on to their owners very long either, wonder why people get rid/bored so quickly.
The guy who sold his 650hp GTR has gone back to more oldschool jap power, he says they are more fun and have more character.
P.S
Before he bought and tuned the GTR, he had a gallardo. He says it was slow. The 1.8t a3 agrees :grin:

Pov who the hell are you? Are you a racing car driver?granted you go on saying you have mates with this that and the other and I am sure if we still lived at home we could all drive around it what ever we wanted :rolleye:. Are they your mates or just people off a forum you know? You do act like you know everything about cars but you do follow jonny c around like his lap dog and do what he does :popcornsoda:
Ps not having a dig but you do go on abit :signLOL:
-
we can argue this until the cows come home! lol
Im not a massive fan of the GTR but i know how much of a weapon they can be! been round the ring in one, and i was really surprised what it was taking on an spitting out for fun. Yes there heavy but they have that many gizmos throwing it round a track disguises its weight pretty dam well!

I used to be an investment broker and did pretty well at it thanks, but after a few years (4) got sick of it, and due to family health issues (Mother has heart problems) I needed to be near family not stuck 8000 miles away so gave up my career and settled near family and started my own business (doing well thanks!), as for "affording an M3" your now talking tosh, they are not exactly expensive, I work from home my car is sat on the drive most of the time, rather than have £35K car on the drive (which only does 3.5k miles per year) I choose to own a car I like (ED30) and spend my money on other things (Like houses and holidays :booty:), If i wanted an M3 I could get one, but I simply dont want one, The CSL was great (Sounded like a Spitfire in mode 5, what we used to call "Defcon 1").
I only judge M3 drivers as most of them are tools, im sure some of them are decent blokes, although personally only ever met one of those!.
Enough said on this subject me thinks

Let's chill for a second :smiley:
The GTR is a mega fast car none the less, it's rated as one of the best handling cars around at current, it's extremely fast at 3second 0-60 and it's V6 twin blower will make sure it doesn't run out of steam at high revs....hence the 190MPH top speed,
911 turbo will cost more to run than a GTR, I will buy a GTR around 26/25 and still keep my Eddie I think and them I've got the best of both worlds :driver:
I didnt want this thread to turn into a argument :ashamed:
I value everyone's opinion seriously on here :drinking: unless its talking crap :signLOL:

Yes agreed, the GTR is a seriosuly fast car as standard and I would love to see any 911 trying to keep up with it, comparing a re-mapped 911 with PDK to a std GTR is hardly fair (Its like comparing frosties to corn flakes :surprised:) a re-mapped GTR against a remapped porsche will be different matter and your likely to still have 30K change in your pocket with the GTR compared to 911 Turbo :booty: (Thats enough for a Golf R or an S3 and an Ed30 :evilgrin:)
If I was to sell a house and buy a seriosuly fast car the GTR would be very high on the list, but honestly speaking I wont do it as a house generating rent rates higher than a street weapon i only use occasionally :happy2:

:grin:
Reeled ya in have I big boy?
Am I race driver? No. Are these race cars? No. What's your point.
I'd like to ask who the hell you are to try and tell me that I'm wrong. Just because you like the GTR and alot of car mags love the GTR doesn't mean I have to.
I don't rate em simply because they are 1800kg. Heavy cars just aren't my thing, and yes they do Start to run out of steam at higher speeds, when the advantages of the massively quick gear changes no longer come into play and it's about pure power and power to weight. They are easy to drive cars, and even web doing silly speeds doesn't feel like it.
If that's the kind of car for you then go put your money where your mouth is and go buy one, they are 28k these days.
As for my mates, no they aren't off a forum, we all generally speak to each other everyday and see each other most weekends. When the 30-130 list comes you will see some of the machines and the figures they are putting out. My mate with the GTR is doing the sat, the rest of us the Sunday.
When you actually get to experience some cars first hands you do get some real surprises, not everything is like it always seems, or the magazine figures suggest.

30-130 :signLOL: wow that's a joke yeah :confused: the Gtr is not about that it's about how for 60k it could lap a track faster than most production cars with 4 seats. It's not all about driving a like knob on the uk roads and as you have said you keep trying to have a ago with a skyline but they won't play,well they don't care about someone in a TT and to be honest if you pulled up behind me and I was in a Gtr I would not even entertain you as we all know stock v stock a tt is not the best and it understears and every magazine has said the same but it's due to not being awd only having stupid haldex. The Gtr is an amazing car and you can't deny it and it's been proven simple as that. But you seem to know every thing I will leave it at that

Theyre nice, but nowhere near as fast around a track as a megane :P

Loool mate all you know about this car what you have read in magazines. Go get some real life experience of ownership OFF the track. Take a GTR and a similar powered 4wd car down some country lanes for example and then ce back and tell me which ones faster. The GTRs huge size and mass lets it down in tight situations.
Also kinda amusing how the TTRS which apparently does nothing but under steer beat all the much more powerful GTR's in the targa Tasmania rally. The GTRs are quicker on the straights due to a 300hp advantage but the TT does em round the bends. Even with its stupid haldex.

I think you'll find I already won this childish argument, "your Mum" beats all...
-
The thing is I don't even know why it is an argument. Two differing opinions and one person takes it all personal ad starts getting emotional over a car he's never even experienced.
Back to the original poster, speak to the GTR owners and my Porsche mates an they all reckon the GTR would cost more to run than a 911 turbo.
-
No ones being emotional about a car it's about you and how you always come on the forum saying you know everything about cars and how you got a little upset that a fwd hot hatch beat your car around the ring all because you know best (or is it jonny) infact are you jonny c shadow :signLOL:
Like I keep saying you know best about every car
Oh and yes I do like the gtr but I would rather own a 911 as its not about outright speed for me it's about how the car drives

We're the better team
You lost 3-0
Yeah, but we outclassed them
But they beat you
Yeah, but it's not just about the result, is it?
Well, seeing as there's a league measuring all aspects of the season's performance, yes
We should be top of that league
Yes, but you're not
But we could be, we've got the best players, the best manager...
Yes, but you're not

My map's better than your map, my intercoolers better than your intercooler, my brakes are better than your brakes - can you all hear yourselves???
I love all cars. I don't care what's fastest, best, worst, coolest, has the right image or which one will score you the most clunge. Some people on here, and on every other marque based forum need to STFU and take off their blinkers.
It won't happen. I've been around VAG forums since the 1.8T started to be played with, over a decade ago. 90% of car enthusiasts are idiotic sheep, show scene, tuning scene, it's all the same. If I had a pound for every time X-tuner was suddenly deemed by the gods to be better than Y-tuner and all the sheep turned tail, spending thousands to jump ship and get a minute amount more of whatever it is they're searching for.. Only for next year Y-tuner is suddenly deemed better than X-tuner and they all jump again. Who is laughing here?? It's all a big game of taking you mugs for a ride with false promises and scene points.

Get over yourself mate seriously.
Jonny has a TTRS and I have a TTRS so whats so hard to understand. We didnt quite agree on some aspects of the 2.0TFSI actually either.
You are the one obsessed with jonny mate, always mentioning him, making snide comments about his projects. Me and jonny dont even have the same mods :stupid:
TTRS beat all GTRs and porsche and all the factory backed efforts in the last round. Not bad for a barely modified car, it will only get quicker as more and more mods get released.

The scene (apply to any make of car):
Tuners "buy" cars. Prominent people with deep pockets and forum owners are tapped up with cheap/free deal to be pawns in a big game of who has the biggest cock. When promises fail to be delivered, they feel embarrassingly compelled to keep schtum until the eventual acrimonious break up whereby the pawn in question's integrity is publicly destroyed. They'll deny till they're blue in the face they've been bought off on the promise of bigging them up to all and sundry, but we all know it happens. Sheep form an orderly queue to have X-tuner's bestmostfastestever kit installed believing their massive cheque is automatically going to buy them a place in Land Speed Record history.
Same can be said of the show & shine scene. Bodyshop builds car as a backhander for scenester. Scenester's bent mates ensure car wins prize. Sheep form an orderly queue to have their car painted scene-approved brown at said bodyshop, believing their massive cheque is automatically going to buy them a prize at the next show.
I know a couple of Scenesters, one of the annual forum jokes they play is to invent a 'look' and see how many people actually spend a truck load of money doing it. Never fails......

Well, i like the GTR, amazing car full of such advanced technology, friend loves his and he replaced an RS6 with it, finds it easier to drive. TTRS, again great car with a peach of 2.5 engine.
Each to there own, we all buy cars that we like or has an individual appeal to us :happy2:

This thread is retarded, that's what it is.
Forums, they're a lot like mindless football fans....
We're the better team
You lost 3-0
Yeah, but we outclassed them
But they beat you
Yeah, but it's not just about the result, is it?
Well, seeing as there's a league measuring all aspects of the season's performance, yes
We should be top of that league
Yes, but you're not
But we could be, we've got the best players, the best manager...
Yes, but you're not
Spacktard tunnel vision idoits who can't see past the badge on their bonnet. My <insert current car> is the greatest car in the world and will beat all other cars. Until you buy another car, then that car is the greatest car in the world and will beat all other cars, until.....
My map's better than your map, my intercoolers better than your intercooler, my brakes are better than your brakes - can you all hear yourselves???
I love all cars. I don't care what's fastest, best, worst, coolest, has the right image or which one will score you the most clunge. Some people on here, and on every other marque based forum need to STFU and take off their blinkers.
It won't happen. I've been around VAG forums since the 1.8T started to be played with, over a decade ago. 90% of car enthusiasts are idiotic sheep, show scene, tuning scene, it's all the same. If I had a pound for every time X-tuner was suddenly deemed by the gods to be better than Y-tuner and all the sheep turned tail, spending thousands to jump ship and get a minute amount more of whatever it is they're searching for.. Only for next year Y-tuner is suddenly deemed better than X-tuner and they all jump again. Who is laughing here?? It's all a big game of taking you mugs for a ride with false promises and scene points.

The best post on this thread. :drinking:

I feel sorry for the original poster. This should be an informative thread not one where everyone is mullered for having an opinion. Its a forum after all. Had loads of laughs though! :grin:
Not going to give opinion but state facts. The GTR will be more expensive to maintain than the aforementioned porsche. Speak to dealers and find out the servicing schedule for a GTR it may surprise you. I may be wrong but they have a pretty short service schedule. Also the porsche is better on fuel (997) again only stating facts.
On the image front get what u like anyone judging you solely on your car alone probably isn't worth knowing.

I like the GT-R, too, as it is a car that is evolving year on year. The 2012MY is a very different beast to the 2008/2009 ones being used in that Aus rally series. It might be a heavy old bus, but take a look at the video page on the Autocar website where it's pitched against the new M5 and generates nearly 1.5G whilst cornering...

If you watch the new clarkson DVD it corners faster than a gt2 Porsche but that did spin out :driver: and even the racing car driver said it was good. In a 5th gear episode tiff and Plato both said yeah it's a heavy bus but it's an amazing car for the money just has so much going on
