Sold the GT-R

[ui]ICEMAN · 20 Oct 2012 at 04:06

After one happy year of ownership, last night I parted ways with my '09 GT-R. I really couldn't think of anything better to replace it than this!

It's a brand new '13 (US) Premium GT-R in pearl white. Managed to snap a couple of quick pics as I was heading out of the door this morning but I'll get some proper ones up after this weekend.

Thus far, it's a lot more comfy than my '09, softer sprung and the seats appear more cushioned too. Other than that though, it's basically the same just more refined, better built and a little faster at 545hp, up from 485hp. I'll have the exhaust changed out next week but that will be it for the moment I think.

Oh and the license plate will be changed, Redzila doesn't really work with this one sadly. Not entirely sure what I'm going to get yet though.

Those houses and gardens remind me of when I lived in Philippines.

Anything in particular make you sell the old one?

Enjoy - the colour is quite interesting when the sun hits it, seen one on detailing world the other day, nice.

The neighbourhood looks lovely too!

Lovely. You'll need to change the plate now though

See, even Dons don't read the whole post

Love it. Is it softer sprung because Americans can't driver around corners? And if so, does that now mean the tyres squeal if you enter a corner faster than 15mph

Very nice!

Love it. Shame the UK doesn't ditch the front plate, cars look much better without it.

Nice upgrade

What else could you possibly have replaced it with even if you had wanted something else!

^JP^ · 20 Oct 2012 at 14:01

Nice car, I wish I could lose the front plate from mine!

Going from an 09 you should find the gearbox is way better with the latest software, the shifting at low speeds around town is so smooth and the launch is brutal.

I just put a GTC 'Resonated' Y-Pipe on and it has made the car sound a little louder.

What full exhaust are you going to get?

Very nice, and the best way to replace a GTR is a new GTR
