Why would you drive a Nissan when you could drive a Volkswagen?

Boba Motorsport Golf 2. 1.8-litre 16V turbo. 900+bhp on E85. 4Motion AWD.

0-100 km/h in 2.3 sec
0-200 km/h in 5.4 sec
0-270 km/h in 8.7 sec

Quarter mile in 8.65 @ 165 mph (265.5 km/h). The fastest VW Golf in the world.

Correction... THAT R32 with half the national debt spent on it could beat Guys Golf.

R32 GTRs without a heap of $$ spent on them aren't that quick by todays standards,your average soccer mum in a showroom model FG XR6 turbo will keep up.

It's just all the P platers that think a 20 year old turbo car makes them Ken Block keeping those old land barges on the road.

Oh dear, its starting to read like a modified car pissing competition !

The new GTR off the showroom floor is an awesome motor vehicle, and no one can dispute that. I struggle to think of any other vehicle that you could purchase new (in that price range and with warranty) that has the performance and features that the GTR offers..........good on Nissan for producing a weapon of a car 👍

Hi

To achive the stunning perfrmance that the GTR has they require expensive replacement of service items, the intial costis justthe beginning

Found this on a Lancer forum

==================

Just wanted to share with you all my experiance with the Nissan GTR.

This is all fact after hours or phone call's, research, emails and contacting Nissan over the other side of the world.

Brace yourselves everyone, here we go.....................

Nissan GTR
6,000 mile service (or 6 months) £683.00 inc vat
12,000 mile service (or 6 months) £683.00 inc vat
Please note that the below costs are tentative costs and subject to final confirmation and change.
Maintenance Inspections
A performance optimisation service will be carried out at 1500 miles (mileage subject to final confirmation).
Maintenance Inspections will then be carried out at 12, 24 and 36 months.
These first four Maintenance Inspections are included in the price of your GT-R.
Costs of any future Maintenance Inspections will be announced at an appropriate date in the future.

Scheduled Servicing
The service interval for the GT-R is 6000 miles/6 months whichever comes sooner.
Tentative service cost examples have been provided by Nissan and are as follows (the following examples are an annual cost based on the quoted mileage):
Up to 12,000 miles per annum:
£785 for scheduled servicing
£4150 for scheduled servicing and replacement of brake discs and pads all round.

18,000 miles per annum:
£1725 for scheduled servicing
£5090 for scheduled servicing and replacement of brake discs and pads all round.
Cost of replacement tyres will be announced as soon as prices are available
911 Turbo is £474 every 12,000 miles or 2 years & £605 for major service 24,0000 miles or 4 years
Just for comparison purposes, the Porsche 997 Service prices are here:
http://www.porsche.com/filestore.asp...letype=default
Transmission oil should be changed every 120,000 miles or 12 years, as compared to every 1,800 in the GTR if you use the throttle (as stated in the manual)!
Just doing a quick comparison of GTR vs Porsche 997TT (so both 4wd, twin-turbo, 480bhp cars).

Services over 12,000 miles:
GTR requires two services total cost £784
Porsche requires one @ £463

Brakes.
GTR Front Discs/Pads = £1,704
997TT as above = £939
GTR Rear Discs/Pads = £1,522
997TT as above = £839

So basically if we add up all three of the above and assume a 12,000 mile ownership and a complete set of front/rear brake all round we get:
GTR = £4,010
997TT= £2,241

So the GTR costs 80% more than a 997TT to run on normal servicing/parts.
This of course excludes the £446 cost of transmission fluid in the GTR that occurs every 18,000 miles vs £124 every 120,000 miles in the 997TT. Interesting that Porsches 7 speed twin-clutch system needs one fluid change over 120,000 miles, whereas Nissans 6 speed twin-clutch system requires more than 6 fluid changes over the same period


facts from Nissan on the situation regarding 'VDC off', the warranty requirements regarding track-use, or indeed confirmed details of servicing or tyre costs.

Servicing costs over 12,000 miles including brakes of circa £4,000.
Servicing/brake costs that are nearly or more than twice that of a Porsche 997 Turbo that costs double the price to buy.
A requirement for pre/post trackday inspections
Voiding of warranty between these dates
Voiding of warranty if the VDC is turned off.

All of these conditions and prices are completely at odds with what was expected at the time of placing the deposit, for a car that was advertised as "Anytime, Anywhere" and where the sales materials and indeed the driving introduction focussed almost entirely on it's track performance. This is also massively at odds with the requirements of manufacturers of the main competitor products, such as Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari and BMW, . None of them void warranty for track-use, other than due to 'abuse', or require any special pre/post-trackday inspections.

I reserve my right to cancel the GTR order and obtain a full refund on the basis that the car and it's uses are simply not up to what was advertised. There's also been a change in Wheel colour and tyres since the contract was signed.

Took me 4 weeks and letter to head office to get Nissan Westway (Oxford) to send me my deposit back.

Now I'm a very proud owner of a Evo X 360, when it arrives this Thursday

yes the GTR is awesome but i have first hand knowledge of a few and they are a very costly bit of kit to keep. prob evo x would be a better buy for a daily but as for a registerable race car GTR wins!!!!!!

It could be worse - the next paragraphs are from tyrepress.com:

"
Every wondered what the most expensive passenger car tyres in the world are? According to a report published on the Autocar website on 14 January, Bugatti Veyron rubber must be a prime contender with a set of four new tyres costing £23,500 (26,926 euros; US$38,482) to replace. And if you were wondering which tyre manufacturer won the OE contract to supply these products, a quick look at tyrepress.com’s online archive reveals that the 406 km/h car, which is capable of 0 - 300 km/h in under 14 seconds fits Michelin Pilot Sport Pax System 245-690 R520 A (front) and 365-710 R 540 A (rear) tyres.

The main reason for the great expense, Autocar explains, is the fact that they have to be capable of 253 mph “over 100 mph faster than Concorde’s landing speed.” However according to the report, what’s worse is that every fourth tyre change (assuming you can afford to run the car that long) the Veyron’s wheels have to be stress tested for cracks. The replacement cost for these 20-inch forged rims is said to be another £7050 (8077 euros; $11,544 each.

According to Autocar, a standard service for the Bugatti Veyron costs £12,866 (14,741 euros; $21,069). So when you factor in a set of four new tyres (£23,500) and one replacement wheel (£7050), a complete service could realistically cost a whopping £43,416 (49,754 euros; US$71,092). No-one mentioned if that is before or after VAT. Little wonder then that one Veyron owner has reported taken to the comparatively more economical option of having his car trailed to wherever he wants to drive it, while he follows in his private jet.
"

It gets worse - the tyres can be mounted on the rims only in France, a service which costs US$70,000.

Its a heavy car, its big, its got a lot of power but not that much when you look at it.

but somehow its acceleration is sub 3 sec bracket.

probably the 750nm or torque I would say

he wanted to show me launch control but the gearbox oil wasn't hot enough to enable that mode. He said you have to have your head on the head rest in launch control or otherwise it smashes your hear into the seat. that sounded awesome too bad I didn't get to see that but none the less flat out from stand still to 100+ to 0 again in like 150m? or half a block in distance. haha I was like a rag doll when he hit the brakes lol


flat stick from a round about to 120 going slightly sidways in like 2 sec.

I would probably take the nissan over the golf myself

I know for a fact Nissan are extremely reliable and dependable performance cars by far.

I see a lot of mixed results with golfs, vw in general. whats the handling like on this golf?

actually thats pretty much what happen when the brakes went on expet there was plenty of room to the dash.

see the skyline has normal seat belts. its all good when flooring it or cornering because of the buckets but the bakes you just flop forward like in the video. probably because I didn't expect them to pull up so hard.

with 6 piston calipers and disks the size of a rubbish bin lids that's understandable.
