I was at a GT-R meet at a Nagtroc forum member's house near where I live.

Well, the most expensive wear/tear parts to replace are tires and brake pads/rotors. Since I probably won't track my car no more than 3-5 times a year, and since I won't drive the car more than 1k miles a month, I don't foresee having to spend too much on maintenance. My guess is I'll probably spend no more than $5k/year on maintenance assuming I track at least 3 times a year. Basically, maintenance expense with the GT-R is all relative to how you drive the car.

I plan to go to a tuner shop to get routine maintenance done, so they charge about $150 for oil changes; however, I'm not sure about pads, etc.

There's just something appealing to me about a non-luxury marque (like nissan or chevy) making absolute monster vehicles which can trash ferrari's, lambo's. the problem is in a ZR1, you can actually kill yourself if you don't know how to drive. But in a GT-R, even an idiot driver looks like a star.
congrats man...

I can't wait until I take it to the track in June. The GT-R is meant to be at the track; you just can't open it up or drive it right on local roads.

You know, I'm a full fledged convert to this car. I really was not the biggest fan of it BEFORE I was given the opportunity to drive one(a 2012 Black Edition) for the whole day. In heavy traffic, on the open road, getting gas; just every possibly situation. I had 3 other people in the car the whole time and it was really just a great experience overall! The car did everything well.
That being said, it was not stock. . .we had just completed a minor round of mods on it - Akrapovic Evolution, COBB tune, HKS filters and AMS catless downpipes. |

I love the performance of the GT-R, but if I were to own one, it would have to be in orange or green.
A guy in my neighborhood has a silver one. It just sort of blends in with the other cars. It needs something to make it a little more unique in the exterior. And I still can't get over how BIG it looks. Great car though! |

Very impressive!
Those floor mat protector things are just absolutely atrocious though. C'mon man - ditch those. ![]()

You made the right choice. GT-R is plain and simple a monster. The look is amazing, the sound is amazing, the performance is straight up crazy amazing.
If I had the money I would be in one myself, but until then, I will just fap to pictures of yours

love the gtr! people are mad jealous. you cant hate on a gtr when you are driving a 3xxwhp 2xxwtq car. the gtr is so much better looking than our e90s. 70% of the population cant tell the difference between your m and a 325i so shu the fuck up
