2014 GT-R Wrecked - Back to 370Z

Toyster · 01-20-2015, 06:33 AM

So here is my sob story folks, I HAD a beautiful 2014 Nissan GT-R Black Edition. I say HAD because I was hit and it was totaled on 12/12/2014, just finally got that decision last week

*!~It only had 1,795 Miles on it~!* :-(

*I'm a Retired 100% Service Connected Disabled Veteran and a Medically Retired GOVT Employee (DEPT of VA-IT Specialist). I have Gulf War Syndrome, a cluster of about 6 Medical problems, and other issues...so I wasn't able/didn't get to drive it nearly as much as I wished...

So now, I'm back to the 370Z, this time a Pearl White 2015 NISMO~! Before the GT-R I had a 2012 Pearl White 370Z (Non-Nismo). I came to the conclusion after this accident that while the GT-R was awesome/perfect/sweet etc., I did not need a $120K NASCAR Auto-SuperCar in my garage, especially with as little as I have been driving.

*If anyone has any advice/tips/tricks/tunes/addons/performance mods-parts etc. for me on my New Car (2015 370Z NISMO) it would be greatly and sincerely appreciated, I have been out of the Z Scene for quite a bit.

Please see PICS attached, avert your eyes if you don't want to see GTR Hell!

*My new 2015 370Z NISMO!

Ouch that hurts. Glad you're back in a Z. I know what it's like to be away for a few years and come back. Thank you for your service and sacrifice for the rest of us.

mishuko · 01-20-2015, 07:34 PM

holy crap... are you sure that accident didn't add another medical condition or two?

but congrats on the new ride!

break it in and maybe get an intake (takeda / gen3) save some money and get some new sticky tires too!

and if you're really missing the power get a TT

altho probably won't be as fun or the same as the r

Keep the RIMS off the GTR!!!! Any Nismo is a good buy IMO.

Wow! Glad to hear that you are ok and thank you for your service.

I'd be surprised if the Z brings you that same satisfaction after owning a GT-R and having both in my stable at this time the Z is meh at best. You'll be back in Godzilla before you know it.
