Maintenance isnt what you think. A guy here in KC is selling his GTR for 50,000. It does have alot of miles 49K but he just took it up to macarthy nissan to get maintenanced and it wasnt bad at all. I've joined the GTR forum to learn more about the maintenance. Buying new rotors and tires are the biggest expenses. That said i never buy the OEM tires or parts back on the car. Why pay 4k for a set of GTR OEM rotors when i can just get aftermarket for 2K for all four wheels. same for tires. why spend 2k for a set of tires when i can buy Nitto Invo size 285 30 20 for $282. Maintenance of a turbo Z would be in the same ball park with the GTR they are both a nissan and pretty much the same engine. At the end of the day your taking a NA car to a turbo car so id feel better getting a car that was made to be turbo'd.
