Looks like I will be blowing mine and getting a new one ;)

RCZ, I can understand $500 service A; $1500 service B for Mercedes but $800 oil change on GTR seems unlikely. Granted it is a ferrari beater but still a Nissan at the end of the day. $100 - $150 oil change would seem reasonable ;) I would think that the $2000 ll be similar to Service B (every 10000mi or 6months)

:icon18: At least you'll have fun in the process JB

2009 Nissan GT-R: Bargain Supercar Gets Expensive

Some Bargain: Inside Line reports $2000 routine maintenance bill for Nissan GT-R — Autoblog

Post Track Maintence - NAGTROC - The Nissan GT-R Owners Club

Its insane.

WOW... that's insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So what were you saying about FI the Z? :p

:iagree:

Might be cheaper to get a used Ferrari or Lambo :bowrofl:

From personal experience:

GTR oil change at the dealer: $150 (under normal driving: every 6K miles)

Transmission service: $1800-$2000 at the dealer (under normal driving: every 18K miles)

Tires: about $400-$450 per tire (tirerack) and under normal driving set will last about 12-15K miles.

If you track the car: If oil temps exceed 230 deg, change oil after track day

If trans temps go betwn 230-260 deg, change trans fluid w/in 1800 miles after track event.

If trans temps exceed 260 deg, change trans fluid asap.

Brake pads last around 35K miles under normal driving. No longer required to change rotors with pads every time.

Full brake service from dealer: new pads and rotors will run around $8K, aftermarker (read, better) pads and rotors will run around $4 to $6K depending on brand, labor rate etc.

For a supercar, it's much cheaper to maintain a GTR than a lambo or Ferrari, the problem is since it's a nissan, folks expect to pay sentra maintenance prices.

I'll be happy as long as you let me experience those 500+ in your used Ferrari or Lambo :bowrofl:

I'll be happy to experience them myself :bowrofl:

FL_Motion, from those numbers you gave, they're really not any worse than maintaining a Mercedes where oil changes were $500 for Service A, $1500 (3000m) Service B (10,000mi), $1500+ for ANYTHING breaking in the car.

Someone at the dealership told me that it cost about $8000 for ceramic brakes replacement, not sure if it is confirmed or not but I would think that for a supercar such as the GTR, you really have to pay to play.

Thx for the great info btw.

Thanks for the info!

Don't flake out on me dude, keep that 500+ whp GTR in your sight once you get that oil muneyyy ;)

What oil money? :roflpuke2:

Still have supercar plans/dreams for the future :tup:

ceramic brakes for the GTR?? :bowrofl: AP racing has a true ceramic brake replacement for the GTR (rotors and calipers) iirc, it's around 15-20K. But, the rotors never need to be replaced and will handle heat from traking better than any iron rotor ever could. Most dealers are beyond cluless, esp when the GTR is involved. When we had ours, we had salesmen begging us to let them ride in it since the owner of the dealership wouldn't let them even sit in or touch the ones for sale.

:tiphat:

To get back on the thread topic, does anyone know the compression ratio of the GTM pistons? It says for the 350z pistons, but not the 370z ones.
