Most cleaners won't do much good if the injectors are truly dirty. They will help keep the injectors clean (prophylaxis) but won't take much crud out. YMMV

Well that makes sense. A $100K car that can do what a car that's double in price can do. If you're going to get a supercar for 1/2 a Ferrari, then the maintenance costs should be about the same. ...

No worries.... Some GTR owners do upgrade to carbon ceramic brakes hence the $8-10K brakes, but the good thing about CCB are they basically last for a life time unless you track the car a lot.

Yea between $2-3K DIY and $5K sounds about right at the dealer they always mark it up. I paid $1800 for a front drive shaft at the dealer, mine broke when I launched and got to much wheel hop. Some...

Replacing the transmission isn't normal, but it is something to consider with early GTRs. Even if you don't have to replace it, the annual tranny fluid swap costs a lot. It needs 10 quarts of fluid...

The Maintenance costs should not be ignored in such a purchase. While you may be getting the car for under $100K, After a few years of maintenance, it'll potentially add up to $100k. Just some...

On the pro-trade side, I just noticed that you live in Kissimmee. My wife and I used to own a winter home in Melbourne. If you have a nice garage or carport at home and at work that will shield the...

If GTR is the car you want, and it seems like you're trying to convince/justify to everyone why you'd want it, then just go for it. No one else is going to drive it but you and your family, so you...
