AMG out, GT-R in!

There's still nothing like the road presence of an R35 GT-R. Enjoy!

ShiWarrior · 22 Nov 2018 at 15:58

Good to see some other R35 owners on here! Didn't think there were many others

Why not? Never give in mate

Personally I don't look at cars outside my budget too often but doesn't mean you can't save up and revisit

Dr Who · 24 Nov 2018 at 02:35

Nice, looks like it has had a decent paint correction as well. Have seen some stock ones up close and the finish is pants, that looks gorgeous.

Jonnycoupe · 24 Nov 2018 at 08:54

That is really nice. Must be brutal with that much power!

well unless a lottery i never play makes a mistake or some rich relative i never knew about dies, i don't have the money. i possibly sould, but the place i work for is a bunch of **** and if i want to change contracts for more wages i lose a shedload of pension rights etc. also, there's a world of difference between being able to afford ~ and run/insure etc ~ a car like that, and being able to SENSIBLY afford it. i could probably scrape the cash together for a decent 2nd hand one, but if i had that sort of money there's other things it should be spent on.

If people want an odd tour of the chassis lol:

Not too much of a difference in looks between the nismo and the regular gtr.

got to 1:36 had to turn off, how can Americans pronounce Nissan as Neeson ?

MeAnBoY · 24 Nov 2018 at 14:40

As annoying as it sounds to us it's probably closer to how the Japanese pronounce it.

The car is lovely, so much road presence :cool:

wolfie138 · 25 Nov 2018 at 08:01

i have no issues w/ "Neesan", but i do get irked when they pronounce it "ordi" instead of "owdi"

The Running Man · 25 Nov 2018 at 08:30

Isn't nissa brother in Japanese?

The world moves on. Wouldn't say live like an a idiot and not plan for the future, but there is a compromise.

And there is always progress, I was able to make substantial changes in my salary by thinking outside the box, and will be doing so again soon. More stressful but has the obvious upsides.

Well, you never know how things will pan out. I hadn't considered one as a serious option until more recently - always thought of it as a bit unrealistic/impractical and couldn't justify that sort of thing given other priorities. But things change and here we are a few years later

Hi fellow Herts person! If you see me about, give me a wave lol.

Yup, it has had paint correction + machine polish and it really does make a difference to the paintwork! Also has PPF applied to the whole front end.

It's easily quicker than anything I've ever driven or been a passenger in. I'm still getting used to it though so don't think I've realised it's full potential yet with my feather light right foot

I can't imagine what some of the other builds are like running even bigger numbers :eek:

ReAPeR101 · 26 Nov 2018 at 11:07

They accelerate with ease dont they, i had a Subaru Impreza STi pre the GTR, the difference is night and day.

The way the road disappears is shocking, the levels of grip are amazing.

My GTR showing a Focus ST the way forward LOL

Six6siX · 26 Nov 2018 at 13:33

It's way too easy to get to silly speeds without even realising - also its the first car I've had which is AWD so the level of grip and handling is new to me too.

What are you running in that vid?
