Congrats with the new ride..

 

I heard Nissan is also planning a factory upgrade package for 2011 and prior GTRs, but nothing's been announced yet. Heard they aren't exactly flying out of dealerships so that might be why.

 

Nope, you can do the labor yourself. Cost is relative. the fluids from the stealership would have cost me around $1,250.

 

I know the paddle deters a lot of people, but that GTR is very hot. We have a few around here with stock turbos + bolt-ons making 600+ whp

 

Wow thats a big jump, congrats though.

 

Thanks, this car is a great runner. Love how it feels at 140mph... very stable

 

I recently made the jump to a GTR as well. Fantastic car... its funny coming from the Evo (I've had both an 8 and 9) I hear a lot of GTR owners complain about how "loud" and "rough" the ride are but I find its much more comfortable than my Evo's were.

The power in the GTR is just insane. It just keeps pulling and pulling... Downside of course is that its harder to enjoy the power in town. You could get on it from a stop light in the Evo and get up to the speed limit in a satisfying run. If I get on it in the GTR, I'm 20 over the speed limit.

 

agreed.....

 

im about to make the switch .. few more months

 

Rio, any mods? AccessPORT?

What were your impressions autocrossing something that heavy?

 

Yeah I heard that it was comparable to a 911, it feels so solid at high speed.

 

Autocrossing is great in the GTR. you really have to get use to tossing around a heavy car...

2nd gear is very strong, lots of low end power, suspension is great..... but needs good tires to be competitive.

hey I was at Winged Warrior that year.

I won the CLASS A championship trophy.... it was a blast. While I did not win first in any respective discipline, I did come int the top 3 in all and scored enough points to win overall in my class.

here is my fastest 1/4 mile run...
