If you really want the GT-R and you can afford the maintenance costs, then go for it. Remember, owning a GT-R is considerably more expensive than the Z; all the aftermarket replacement parts are better and considerably cheaper than OEM when it comes to brakes, but a full brake job will still cost you around $1500/axle. Tires are over $500 each and they wear very quickly if you drive hard. There are quite a few other ancillary costs that rack up as well.
They're fun cars to drive; not as engaging as the Z, but fun nonetheless. Definitely attention-getters when you're out in public. |

I may be a young gun but I have always been smart with my money and stayed within my means and thats why I plan to get a used GT-R and not a new one... up front cost for a new gt-r is not affordable for me. |

I dont expect to be getting a perfet car and will obviously have to deal with issues at some point in time... for being launched I think it would be hard for someone to find one that hasnt, how many of us that baby our Z's never get on her every once in a while? it would be nice to find that perfect used car tho As for the valve seals... It sucks that Ill have to replace that at some point but given that I take my Z a couple times a month I wouldnt expect to replace it at any point relatively soon and if I do have to replace it then so be it, its part of buying a used car. I learned then when I bought my first STI in 05' ![]() What other negative things do you have for me on the GT-R...? |
