holy shieeet!

my eyes were in the back of my head

well thats one goal ticked off the list.

goodbye!

Now according to Nissan servicing protocols the car will need a complete rebuild

Thats a bit like your VW Steve, a couple of drives and now its time for a rebuild !!!!

yeah pretty much, given up on that for the moment and let the more urgent priorities go first.

oh well

Guy Hardings APR Golf R would blow that nissan away, no dramas.

?? I don't even know what that is.

you really think it could beat 0-100 in 2.8 ?

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.

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

I agree

The Nissan must be the best value for money showroom supercar by far.
That Boba golf is unbelievable ... hadn't seen that one till now

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!!!!!!

Wow, I wonder if they let the Top gear team do the usual burnouts Veyron?
