Guys, I have been thinking of trading my beloved 2015 Z in for a GTR, but after reading this thread I am again rethinking what I should do.

I am in Australia, and I can pick up a used GTR, either 08, 09 or 10 model for around $85-100K.

Or should I just spend $25K or so on building my Z into TT? How much would it cost to make the Z as fast and as reliable as a GTR?

I love my Z, but I wouldn't mind the pedigree of the GTR. It would be one of my Ultimate dream cars.

I would consider making my Z into a TT, but how much does it need to be pushed to get it at GTR level of speed? How reliable is it going to be? It will be my daily driver and I will also track it atleast a few times a year.

Should I worry about maintaining such a Z, or should I just get a GTR. But also, I must consider insurance for the GTR, and servicing costs. Does this sound about rite for GTR service costs:

Oh I know the OP said he didn't like being looked at when he picks his nose in a GTR, but me I wouldn't mind the attention lol.
