Nissan 370Z Forum  

Should I get a GT-R?

no differences under the hood for 2015 .. just a softer suspension and some noise cancelation to make it more like a touring car in addition to those lights

Needless to say affording a GT-R would be easy at this point. I still think I am going to go the used route and look for a 2012 or 2013. I may end up waiting until the 2015 model comes out. We shall see.

This is of course all assuming I go test-drive one and like it

wish you lived closer to me.. ive got the best used 2012 forsale in existence. Its first black edtion ever built for the US hand signed by the chief engineer with low miles for low 80's

they added an Ivory cream interior option in addition to the amber red from last year. thats about it besides a tweak to the graphics in the MFD screen and a carbon look overlay on the speedo gauge

That's pretty awful (the ivory cream). Maybe it's better on the NISMO, as it goes with that colour theme, I dunno.

Not sure I'd want white on the steering wheel at all, unless I plan to wear driving gloves 100% of the time. Which, if I could afford one, I just may do.

the white and red are $4K options just for the premium

the NISMO gets it own interior

MC can you elaborate on what realistic maintenace costs for the platform are?

For instance, someone told me to expect a transmission service every 10k?

the transmission fluid calls for every 36K miles if not driven hard to where its over 248 degrees. but realistically I would say do it every other year based on miles or maybe every 15K.. its not THAT expensive its maybe $900-1K including fluids. Its usually good to do Diff fluid at the same time so maybe $350 more.

oil change is no different than a Z especially if you go to where they have a drive over bay it takes 20 mins...

brakes pads last about 25-30K miles if you dont track.. and usually you can get by with just changing pads not rotors once if they arnt badly cracked. GTR rotors get cosmetic cracks the first time you track it but those arnt a big deal

tires are the only inescapable high cost on the car. fronts last about 7K miles with normal daily driving and a few trackdays/autoX mixed in. they range about $550 each. so i usually replace fronts every year and rears every other year. so its not too bad as i rarely replace all 4 at the same time


if you are smart about your maintenance like knowing where get cheap oem fluids and picking up take off brake pads or tires its actually fairly inexpensive considering the car

i stockpiled that stuff haha...ive got 2 sets of OEM tires and a set of brake pads im giving the buyer of my car as the NISMO uses different of both

i've always heard the GTR maintenance costs were extremely high but that doesn't sound bad at all... the fact that the 2015 has a softer suspension and noise cancellation makes it sound very appealing to me. would you recommend one for a daily driver over a luxury coupe/sedan such as a lexus?

$1350 for a tranny and diff fluid change doesn't sound bad at all?
