Going to the ring with him this weekend, i really CANNOT wait to go out in it.. He has just bought after having two New V8 E92 M3's.

He said this thing just blows it away!

Tell him not to use the Launch Control, even if its using the Software cos it will end up back at Nissan. They are great car but fragile.

Awesome piece of engineering, but bloody ugly!

Zetecfiesta

mint!!

Asturias

I used to like these but the more I looked into them the more put off I became.As said above it is ugly and too big!

Would rather have the M3 tbh,better engine and far a simpler machine

Oranoco

Awesome

Rhys

Stunning..... Would love to go.

i love them, i wonder how the 335d will do against it lol

cossiegreg1

awesome.

xr2i-carl

He has had 2 E46 M3's and 2 E46 M3 CSL's... Just recently 2 E92 V8 M3's one manual and one DCT and he says performance wise the GT-R knocks spots off the M3!

I used to ''just about'' hang onto his V8 M3, but this thing is a supercar in Datsun clothing!!!

not much to be honest mate

PT

Mates dad used to have a remapped one. Amazing car. Pads wont last long at the ring

xr2i-carl

used to? UK cars only been here since april. He didnt have that long? or did he import one last year?

Asturias

Bet he never removed his BMW badge after paying 50k!

PT

imported it about year and a half ago mate

xr2i-carl

Awesome PT. Did he break the gearbox? i heard the early versions had a weakness in a spline or something?

vroooom ptssssh

If your stunned at just looking at one, wait till you go out in one !!!

One thing is though, you dont realise just how quick it goes until you watch a quick car dissapear in the background No lag whatesoever, it just GOES!

xr2i-carl

am very excited mate!

1098

Stats looking real good for these things, but they are put together by a company that doesn't have experience in 3.5s 0-60 and top speeds of 190mph+ so I don't know how reliable they are. Good for him though, sounds like hes experimenting with the cars that have the most hype atm to see which he likes best
I'm not a big fan of new BM's but I'd rather have one over a Nissan even if it is a bit slower..

I wouldn't be happy with that interior in a Ł52k car!

PT

No issues at all mate. and it got a pretty good caining to be fair and loved it

Few vids from an Anglesey trackday we went to

I think they look spot on, never use to like the look much but its grown on me. I'm very jealous.

ROTFL at the badge snobs !!

Little-AL

Had fun chasing them around Mallory just after Xmas! Awesome cars

Dangerous Malcolm..

Don't take this the wrong way, but that's a really silly thing to say. I would suggest a company who sold more cars in 2008 than any other manufacturer, and who more than dabbled in F1 does have 'experience'.

vroooom ptssssh

1098, I can tell you that a GTR at 176mph is probably every bit as good as a BMW at 150mph!

Pardeep

These are great cars.

Quick? YES!!! Reliable??? Like FUCK.

My cousin is a tech for Nissan in Slough and he was telling us that the GTRs are in the workshop constantly. At the moment he has 2 in for Gearbox Replacements and 1 on its 3rd service. And the owners aren't happy at all as the cars have spent more time at nissan than on the road. Its not just Slough that have them in. Mill Hill had 7 in a few weeks back with one need a Engine rebuild and the others had Gearbox and Servicing Issues.

A shame really. I really would like that car but wouldn't buy one after the problems i've heard they are having.

got to put a tracker on one next week. Don't think i'll take it out in case of gearbox damage i'll just get the owner to take me out for a spin i'll get some pics up of it next to my saff!

Okokok. Most of my statement has been proven wrong, but I still think the interiors are shit for a Ł52k car.

Hmm common thing seems to be cropping up are their gearboxes, can't be that shit can they? Or more likely the owners giving them a hard time?

Pardeep

They had massive problems with them being launched at 4000rpm. Since then Nissan have developed a software for the launch to be at 3000rpm. But both still fuck the gearbox. I love the car, i really do but the problems people are having with them are just ridiculous. My cousin told me that one came in after 300+ miles, 10 days old and the Engine was crying service.

Mk1-stu

a black edition car.. that isn't black.. that makes sense..

KnoxyGtt

Wasnt there a post on here about some guy in america that had one, shagged the box and nissan would not replace it for some reason and to buy it new was a fucking fortune

Jay,

we have four customers with them they get hammered to death ! launched tracked ect , one of them had a issue tell a lie we had to fill the washer bottle up once awesome reliable cars

ECOS95

It was on PH, they guy had enjoyed using the LC one to many times & Nissan wanted $20,000 to replace the box.

I'm sure BMW is no different, a bloke at work had an E46 M3 & was told not to use the LC more than 10 times as it would void the warranty on the gearbox.
