chipshopman Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 After nearly 4 years of owning my wonderful 350z, I took the plunge and have upgraded. Whilst I've not been very active on this forum, it's been incredibly useful and interesting and has led me to some great people who have done work on my 350z. I have really appreciated the access to people far more in to the technical bits and pieces of the 350z than I am. I've done nearly 50k in the car since I bought it, but now it's time for the car to go to another good home and I know it'll be looked after where it's going. Here's a glimpse of what my GTR looks like (I hope I've done that right)... It's a thing of beauty and raging performance... I think I'm going to like it as much as the 350z... Cheerio! chipshopman 8 Quote

sipar69 Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 That's my favourite GTR colour. Very nice. Quote
chipshopman Posted September 2, 2016 Author Posted September 2, 2016 Thank you for the compliments, it is a fantastic car. @ZMANALEX: I don't believe it's had any engine upgrades, no. It's the Recaro edition post the uplift that happened in 2011/12, is 542bph and has a carbon-fibre rear wing It's been spending the last year or so on the Isle of White. It's only got 20k on the clock. There's plenty of time for upgrades! Fortunately my wife is fully supportive, she's even coping with the fact that my new motorbike (that I expected to arrive in May) arrives this weekend as well. For those of you who know motorbikes, it's a 66 plate Suzuki cherry red DL1000 V-Strom... I'm not going to know what to ride/drive next week! All the time I was looking for a GTR, I was going for a Gunmetal Grey GTR, but more or less fell in love with this colour - Daytona Blue. It really pops in the sunshine. 2 Quote
Tinyflier Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Congrats and welcome to performance motoring with a capital "P". Lovely colour too. Don't try a modified one - unless you want to realise the huge performance and drivability gain that can be had for very few £! (Stage 4 or 4.25 is the sweet spot.) David. Quote
Humpy Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 I would give my Mrs away not to have one On a serious note i truly do hope the GTR gives you as much joy as your zed has! Quote
The Trouser Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Not to my taste - I prefer the understated Zed to the 'look-at-me' spoliers etc. But enjoy Can I ask - One of the great things I've enjoyed about owning a Zed is this forum - does yours have something similar?

veilside z Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 What a fantastic upgrade buddy ... B) Have lots of fun and drive safe. Quote
Andy_Muxlow Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Wicked looking car and lovely colour 😠Sent from my iPad using a hammer and chisel... Quote
GMballistic Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Great colour for the GTR. Enjoy the new car. Quote
Cragus Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 This is the upgrade I've always wanted to do! Cracking colour and car! Quote
chipshopman Posted September 3, 2016 Author Posted September 3, 2016 @The Trouser - yes, it appears that the GTR has a very similar forum to the 350z one. I've just gone and registered and am having a nose about at the moment... Quote
Payco Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 I'm on the GTR forum too and believe me it doesn't come close to this forum.If Carlsberg did car forums it would probably be 350zuk. 4 Quote
P15UL T Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Congrats mate. There great cars. It's the exact colour/ spec I'll be looking for when I'm ready to buy again Enjoy the performance Paul Quote
