ZMANALEX Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Well, I certainly did not expect this for 2015, guess that they are looking for a wider audience if you ask me. Getting away from grass routes. So glad that I have the track pack. Nismo not for me as not a functional road car and purely a track car as a few will eventually find out. Also at 125K (133K with titanium zorst) the Nismo is massively overpriced. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=31247&utm_source=2014-11-26&utm_medium=email&utm_content=html&utm_campaign=newsletter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hhhhmm. I really want a GTR one day but it won't be the 2015 model (even if I could afford it), ...2010 model is probably what I'll be aiming for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite fancy one for my next car too but was under the impression that 2011 onwards had the advantage of an improved transmission and yearly instead of six monthly services. Not sure though....

I quite fancy one for my next car too but was under the impression that 2011 onwards had the advantage of an improved transmission and yearly instead of six monthly services. Not sure though.... The improvements on the 2011 car are pretty good, I have the suspension from 2012 car and the 2011 had a much better trans cooler, among other things. The servicing difference means nothing..... it was Nissan having released a new car and wanting to collect data on how things were going on the car. Some owners have moved to a 12 month service schedule and some of the 2011+ owners have moved down to a 6 month schedule. Personally, I prefer servicing the car every 6 months, purely because it has a hard life and nice to keep an eye on things, especially considering the price of parts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep reading a lot about circlips, gearbox software upgrades & bell housing being done. Can you shed any light on those things Graham? especially the bell housing part? Thanks either way.

StevoD Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Sounds like 350 The more raw hard-core driver focused 350z are the early ones and the later are the soft refined ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 - if you wanted comfort etc and a GT drive you wouldn't be looking at an R35 in the first place!? och well each to their own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 The problem with this is that nissan built the R35 to be a budget hyper car. Now its in the same price band as some of the exotics, which unfortunately for Nissan, merit the price tag and would be first choice for many over the R35 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 At £55k it was a bargain, at £85k it's really not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep reading a lot about circlips, gearbox software upgrades & bell housing being done. Can you shed any light on those things Graham? especially the bell housing part? Thanks either way. Bellhousing is a problem, I have had mine replaced, I opted (and paid for) the Litchfield fix rather than the Nissan warranty which was not a proper fix. Circlips I dont see as a problem.... I have not had mine done Gearbox software is fantastic stuff, makes the car a lot more driveable, well worth the upgrade At £55k it was a bargain, at £85k it's really not. Completely agree... just received a letter from Nissan advising the finance package on a new car £78k, too much IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richf Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Its such a terrible shame the GTR has become what it now is, they have softened it into a total waste of time ! Oh wait a minute no they haven't, they have just improved the ride consistently over the years and separated it more away from the NISMO version and track variants. Its not a track car , its not a supercar its a GT car and always was. The best still keeps getting better ! But those wheels 0-62mph MY09: 3.3 (although some say it was 3.8 for the JDM model) MY10: 3.1 MY11: 3.0 MY13: 2.9 MY14: 2.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
