Nice. I'm on my 2nd GT-R as well. First one was a '10 SS, current one is '10 Matte White (wrapped over pearl white).

I think if you're keeping the R35, then the Z will fit your bill quite nicely of providing a fun to drive vehicle and you can satisfy any desire to go super fast with the GTR.

Around town, the GTR is, as you know, not super engaging and can actually be frustrating at times since it always feels like it's just a hairs breath away from going super fast if you just push a little harder with your right foot.

The Z, being a manual and rwd, it def more engaging to drive around town etc in.

Haven't gotten the opportunity to track the Z at any HPDE events yet, (this summer hopefully) but our GTR's were tracked quite a few times and that is the venue where that car becomes, well, just amazing and quite frankly, a steall $$$ wise for what you get. But of course, you already knew that.

In sum, a Z would be a great compliment to your GTR and since the GTR already comes with such decent ammenities in the cabin (nav, leather etc), I vote for a Nismo Z to join it's ranks in your stable.
Great info, and very much appreciated. I think I need to test drive a NISMO Z this week to get an idea how it feels. Thank you for the great post.
