Hi all, I did a mad thing over christmas and bought a GT-R, if anyone's thinking about it - do it!

 

My last Z was quick but this thing is insane, loads of fun to drive, handles like a go cart, gear changes are mental bang bang bang up or down the box no lag at all, and it sticks to the surface like it's been glued. Lots of strange noises and whistles, and some grindy crunches at slow speed. 0-60 is 2.8 sec, bucket loads of torque, very quick even if you don't take it over 3k rpm.

 

Downsides are rip off prices for brakes and especially tyres, the Dunlop runflats are only available through a NissanHPC and the nearsest one in Bristol wants £2200 for a set (285 and 255 20's). Michelin PSS are 1k cheaper but could cause warranty issues.

 

Averaging around 17 mpg so far, same as the Z so not too bad. Had a dusting with an Aston Martin the other day, he was infront and let out a huge roar and took off, normally it's impossible to pass a really quick car because you run out of road so I usually stick behind and ease off a little, but the gtr just left it for dust, did the same to an Evo too, it really is stupid quick :)

 

In R mode you can launch at 4k rpm but it's been damp every day so not tried it yet. It's not the prettiest of cars but it sure is loads of fun :) Cheers

Cheers guys, fingers crossed for some decent weather this spring, as if lol!

 

Yowser, yeah same place :)
