+Daniel San Right,first get rid of the cats,add a few parts,get a flex fuel E85 tune and step on the gas then watch the needle on the gas gauge drop LOL Saying that i don't act the douche out on the roads when there's traffic.
it just shows gtr is not very expensive to get serviced but you need to have a good bank account to own one not for poor people it still not cheap for some but brilliant video I like the way he say it how it his no messing around thanks UA-cam and peace out there
Nice review, In my honest opinion you should go with full air intake, full down pipe from turbo(bigger for better air fellow), high flow cat, full mid pipe, try not to change muffler or go with quietest sound available for muffler. you wont regret it trust me and finally and most important is a tune which Cobb access port is the best try to go with their setup and they will have right tune for your car ;)
+GAK Thanks for the suggestions! I will be uploading a video in the new year all about my plans for the car and to provide my subscribers with the opportunity to have an input into what I do.
thank you for making these videos. Definitely helped me make the decision to test drive one. Time for the trusty C63 to make someone else happy I think. keep up the good work. looking forward to seeing more ...maybe a v10 R8 review soon?
Road Racers are you crazy! Recommending a chevy, they can't even get the left headlight or sunroofs that don't leak figured out. Also zo6 is a clutch eatting monster, tire and brake replacement would quickly out cost the gtr
Just wondering if it's an option to do the work yourself and still keep the warranty? I do alot of this work on my cars myself and I'll tell you you can change those pads and rotors in about 45 -1hr. if your slow. Don't know about the GT-R but most don't require any special tools. Just a wrench and some dirty hands. ;) Your next video should be how much you saved doing it yourself!
This is an off the wall question for you here but I have seriously considered selling my 370z for a used GTR later this year for my dad mobile as we have a new son. Since I have never been inside a GTR, I am wondering is the back seat big enough to easily get a car seat in for the baby and is there room in there or is it very cramped in the back and what about the trunk size? I know these are very weird questions but why not check into it? I would LOVE one and with my trade and cash, I can easily buy a used one for less than a new 4 door sedan:)
I know some people who have a GTR, they have 2 quite young kids with their seats wedged in the back seems to be fine. They just have to contort themselves in and around the front seats to get the kiddies in LOL
MrSnowy79 me and my wife actually went to the NIssan dealer a few weeks back to check it out, the baby seat fits perfectly with tons of room, it's either this car or a new luxury 4 door car for me later this year.
Nissan/Infiniti have terrible brakes, my previous Z had so much squealing on reverse and would squeak a lot when coming to a stop. My G37s currently have the same issue, and I changed the pads/rotors about 4 times already. Although it doesn't stop my love for their cars, the performance makes up for it :)
they actually don't have poor brakes. most genuine Nissan performance cars come with brembos witch are extremely good. but the fact is you need to know witch hope it helps. I currently owner a 350z brakes were good although they did use to fade a bit. but I changed my break fluid to dot3 witch is slightly thinner there for passing more fluid through to the caliper if that makes sense :)
nice comments and very honest I like this video very much and I want to say the the gtr well is a sports car so you have expect it's not going to be cheap you pay for what you get if you are loaded with cash and money then that's not a problem so it is not for a poor person that's for sure brilliant spoke person thanks for this and thank you UA-cam keep it up
so you spent that much for oil, plugs , and brakes? holy shit. You should do it yourself. And 15mpg is not bad for the hp you have. my 2016 sti gets 17mpg and has half the hp you have.
To be honest, I'm quite a recent subscriber so I haven't seen all your videos. However when this came up on my "recommended" feed then I instantly recognised where the thumbnail was taken! 😀
saw one for sale it had a rear end hit so the rear light and corner bumper where dented how much would it be to fix it and is it worth buying it or just go buy a used one
Why do you think anyone would be able to tell you how much it costs to fix damage to a car none of us can see? However, based on your use of basic English grammar I can understand why you might ask this question.
There goes another guy: This car is burning too much fuel I needed front brakes Tires are wearing out Bro, having a supercar means more stops at a shop, not less.
Hi there, I've got a Coupé questions if You don't mind. Im thinking of buying a GTR for Myself. I Drive quite a lot though - like 18-20k Miles a year. And The GTR will be My only car. My Dealer told me with that Kind of Miles i'd Need a set of tyres a year and a set of brakes a year. Which Combined will be Around 10k € a year. Ill get different rims and tires obviously, so Thats Fine. But can you get different brakes without voiding the Warranty? Also the Warranty is kinda squishy, so guess you will void that if you do the inspection not with nissan? did you buy yours new?
+Baerzilla Hey! I would like to first start off by recommending that if the budget allows, buy a daily car and save this for the weekends, it keeps it that bit more special! If you do, however, want to drive this as a daily then you may indeed need to change your tyres every year but this largely depends on how you drive. I would be surprised if you were doing 18k/20k worth of hard miles. If not then I think your tyres will be lasting a year and a half. You certainly will not be changing all your breaks every year either. Pads may need changing every year (certainly fronts) but not disks! In terms of costs, a set of tyres (not from Nissan but the exact same ones they supply) can be bought for £1,200 for a full set! My new front disks and pads also cost around the same. Just for front pads it is around £250. That is a far cry off the 10k you've been quoted. I have a warranty on mine, but not from Nissan. If I had the choice to decide about a warranty again, I would actually choose not to buy one at all! I bought mine 2 and a half years old. Hope this helps and good luck!
***** The 10k was a figure from the sales man in a GTR performance center, so that got me really thinking. 10k a year is insane. Used GTRs past the 2013 update cost upwards of 80.000 € in Germany. I can get a new one for 97.000€, thats not a lot difference so i'd rather go for the new one tbh, and warranty sure is an issue there. I've been thinking about getting a cheap daily car, but I'd probably keep my M4 Convertible if i did that. I wanted a car that has the performance and fun part, but also has space to get my Wakeboard and my Dog in and can also be used daily and in the snow (the M4 is terrible...) . GTR would be the cheapest option there. RS6 Performance or Porsche Carrera 4S are the alternatives. Ill be renting a GTR for a month now, to see if it ticks all the boxes :D
+Baerzilla In the UK we have a lot of tuners and GTR specialists who run their own garages after working as master technicians at Nissan. This means we can service and maintain our car far cheaper than if we were to take it to Nissan, for just as well if not better. In my opinion, you will have no where near as much fun in the RS6 or Porsche Carrera 4S. I would certainly recommend before purchasing, looking for a specialist workshop that can maintain your GTR for a fraction of the cost.
+Baerzilla Hi mate. I had a 2010 GTR. Best car I ever owned. I did do a LOT of track driving and even then i did 35000Km with a set of tires (600 laps at Spa and 200 at Nordschleife). For winter I had a different set of wheels + tires (snow). Great car, 4 usable seats, big boot, stupidly fast and super stable. Do not forget that a GTR has 'normal' tires so it stays usable in heavy rain (non of the Pilot Cup Sport nonsense). Maintenance was more then OK, those days it was every 10.000Km. Total Km when i sold it: 65.000Km, as it also was my daily driver. Rain, snow, sunshine ... an occasion every time. Of course, it has super car performance so parts are not cheap. No issues in the time i had it. Warranty with Nissan is no issue (those stories about gearboxes ... people abuse a car, then complain. A GTR has never had a launch control, it does not need one, it had a system to get the car out of snow or mud. Read the userguide!! :-) A GTR does 2.6sec to 100Kph without the need for 'launch control', Nissan had the Press out years ago to prove that point, and indeed ... without the 'press invented' launch control the car was faster. PS: I sold it because in Belgium the government added 18.000€ / YEAR tax on company owned cars with a lot of Co and power.
valcked Interesting. The first thing the dealer did on my test drive was tell me to stop and use the launch control. :D And that was an official GTR dealer. I'm getting a GTR next week, for a month long test drive. We'll see how that works out. Im looking forward to it like a 10 years old to christmas. :D
Ah, man. The dreaded service. I have an Audi RS3 but I REALLY like the R35...the cost of a second hand one is doable but it's the cost of upkeep that would kill me. I couldn't bear the thought of paying £500 for a service and £1100 for new discs and brakes. It just seems so obscene to me haha. Maybe if I get a better job.
Can I ask what is your driving style? How many presents of your driving is inside the town? About the mpg. I'm getting a 2012 model in next couple of years. My r33gtr was also fuel hongery but I could get 17mpg out of it in the highway. Also take a look here for more people answering who own a gtr: www.gtr.co.uk/forum/128676-average-mpg.html
I need some help over here please, I am looking for days how much does a insurance cost on 09' GTR, I cant ask around since I am about to move to Ireland from other side of the EU. I found all the info about running costs and annual tax on it, but how much do YOU pay for your car insurance??? P.S. you think 15 mpg is bad, I own 2004 Alfa Gt 3.2 V6 I average 10 mpg with it on a calm driving day which is impossible with it's sound.
+Dont ask me how I did this thing on youtube It is very difficult to say how much your insurance will be, simply because it is based on you as an individual and where you will be living. I personally have a clean license, am 24 years old, living in a quiet area my insurance costs me £1,100 a year fully comp. Hope this helps!
Ok, so let me see if I got this right. With car insurance+annual road tax and annual running costs, I am looking at about 5000 pounds per year? And that's without something going bad, or needing new tires.
Mate I've be sick of my life spending £1600+ on a service lol. My best mates friend had a GTR and had nothing but issues and problems. Think it cost him £8000 in 10months of owning. I'd love one but keep looking at c63 AMG's. I'm surprised you haven't got more subscribers! I sense you having a lot more in the future. Took me ages to gain some, but it will happen.
+Mr.Craig's Video Channel Hey buddy! I'm surprised to hear that your friend's mate had such problems with his GTR. I am part of a large group of GTR owners and none have experienced such issues. There have been a few who have blown their engine but that is on 1000+ BHP cars. I love the C63 but if a GTR is an option, you should go for that. It has started to grow recently so hopefully it continues to snowball, thanks for watching!
***** It's like any car, you get good ones, you get bad! I've not long sold my Range Rover Sport HSE, loads of people told me never to buy one due to issues, but in the 10 month's I owned it nothing broke. Cal's GTR the sensor in the gearbox went twice on him, meaning he couldn't use the shift paddles. He works away offshore and was away for 2 months, came back home and the tyres were fucked with the nitrogen being sat there so long, had to get a new set of tyres. If your into your powerful GTR's my good friend Jurgen has the highest bhp one in the country... If you google him he'll pop up, he's been importing cars for about 10+ years now, I got my first Jap car Subaru Impreza WRX from him back in 2005 lol. JM-Imports is his company
Mr.Craig's Video Channel I don't use nitrogen anymore, too much hassle! Yeah he owns SVM doesn't he? Pretty sure he has tuned a fair few of the Battalion member's cars! Seems like he knows what he is doing haha.
***** No no lol, Jurgen just imports cars he leaves the tuning to people who know what he's doing, he's clueless. His first GTR engine0 blew up on track, then some a company called JunRacing rebuilt it to 1000bhp+, think its 1300bhp at the moment. He's just treat himself to a brand new Aventador (lucky bastard). Is the 458 your's as well? Your doing alright for yourself if it is... You'll be the next SuperCars of London :-) Your car's make mine look like clapped out bangers lol
balls to all that cost! I like the GTR but il sick with my 93 twin turbo supra targa, cheap as chips to fix compared to this and running stage 1 400bhp, I would have thought theres not a massive performance difference wise either, not really. in the real world. good vid tho
hey mate here a armytrix clip. I think it's to quiet honestly. just a bit raspy, not really farty like a straight pipe c63 but still very raspy. there is a rose gold one now in london.
Hey bud, yeah I have heard mixed reviews of the armytrix exhaust so still not sure which I will go for. the Rose gold one is owned by a UA-camr who is also a member of our group. I haven't heard it properly yet though!
500 Punds for a service on a GTR? Come to Denmark a service on my focus mk2 1.6TDCI 2009 is around 500-800 punds. Would easly could have a GTR if i lived out side Denmark :D
+Morten Nielsen In Australia a Mercedes C200 or Audi A4 1.8 will easily set you back about $AUD 800 for a regular service, that's about £400GBP. My friend often drops upwards of AUD $2,000+ to service his 2006 CLS 55 AMG (and I'm being kind there it's often more as there is always something to fix). Another friend spent AUD $20,000 for a transmission fix on his Gallardo (or about £10,000)..ouch!!
Hey buddy! They have been the same brakes since new and had over 15,000 miles on them. The previous owner drove it rather slow. I only use mine weekends, however, I do like to drive fast and take it on track days. I would say the costs within this video are pretty standard though, plus I will be buying a new set of tyres in the new year which will be another £1,200 (and that's a great deal). Hope this is helpful, let me know if you have any other questions and good luck with the purchase!
***** Not a bad price for what the car can do but remember, the 2009-2010 models need servicing every 6 months whereas the 2011 onwards do not. It's worth bering that in mind. Let me know how you get on with the purchase!
+Tiberiu Gherasim No problem, happy to help! It does seem that the 2011 onwards hold their value better and I think that is due to the servicing and power upgrade too.
+Chris Martin Any car you get at this level will have similar MPG and it is largely dependant on how much you use it and how hard you drive. Someone could get this car and use it once a month, therefore their fuel costs are very low. Does that now make it a cheap car to run?
That's the cheapest supercar which puts competition in it's price range down on their as*es.That's car which is meant to be abused and pushed to the limit,otherwise you can buy prius which will do the same if not better in terms of comfort :) YES if you own it,you own a supercar and you should have that in mind even before buying the car because the day of servicing will come sooner or later.He paid that much because he had cracked his disks which cost a lot,just brake pads are not that expensive.And if you have 100k in total you don't rush for the best that fits your budget,you go for the best that you can service in future.
Olatro the GTR is faster however is more expensive then that m5 or c63. Now if you thinking about fuel economic don't buy these car they waste a lot of gas but all super car does, so you don't buy these car because the fuel economic you buy it because they are fast and they are super car. now when i was looking for my car i was between the c63 benz and the m5. the c63 look great and sound good but there is comparison to the m5. the c63 dashboard is plastic where my m5 dashboard is all leather. also top of my m5 is all alcantera which is used in Lamborghini , ferrari ect, ect. but the c63 has the top as normal car , so to me personally does are the little details the make a different from one car to the other. It look like the benz cut some corners to save money when i don't see that on my BMW. Finally the V10 BMW the engine sound like a dream….. it sound like a ferrari 430 it just a dream to drive my car… : ) I hope this help!!!!
Hey👋 i have every month after my Living costs around 1000€ over that i can spend! is that enough to maintaine an GTR? im also looking at an C63 AMG W204, just love the Sound;) and im also intrested in an 08 STI. know the GTR is the most expansiv and the STI the cheapest.
In New Zealand here everything is metric has been since about the 60s I think, lots of my car buddies still use mpg etc. I have no idea what kilometres per litre would be LOL. 1.6ks per mile, 4.something litres per gallon no idea :)
+Andrew Hague Their disks are prone to cracking, hence why you rarely see them on GTRs as the owners change them to these discs or AP. Not great I know.
+John Steel not being a hater boy i actually love the skyline series but maybe i'm wrong but it always been a super sport car in our eyes like r32-33-34....
what i got from this is that the GTR isnt unreasonably expensive to own, but you cant be broke either.
15 miles per gallon = 6,36KM per Liter.
+Meister Snugles Yep that`s running regular petrol 98 octane ,running E85 cuts your mileage by another 30%.
That's very low.
Daniel San Yep but that`s the price you have to pay for more power LOL
Ian Galloway That is true. I don't think you buy such a powerfull car for driving it eco! ;)
+Daniel San Right,first get rid of the cats,add a few parts,get a flex fuel E85 tune and step on the gas then watch the needle on the gas gauge drop LOL Saying that i don't act the douche out on the roads when there's traffic.
This was a refreshing experience from the ordinary ADD, aderalled up guys on youtube going on about their
rides.
+Robert Wolfe Haha thanks, it's to help others make the decision of whether this car is for them or not, or to just simply inform :)
+Robert Wolfe Hahah and their Lamborghini Diablos right ;)
it just shows gtr is not very expensive to get serviced but you need to have a good bank account to own one not for poor people it still not cheap for some but brilliant video I like the way he say it how it his no messing around thanks UA-cam and peace out there
A dream car, hopefully one day. Awesome review dude. Buy the way, is this a daily driver.
Same question as well
Fuck fuel, smiles per gallon not miles per gallon!
+TheDustyCouch That' how I look at it haha!
exactly
Ye brakes on GTR seems to crack and get a lot of wear and tear due to weight of it. Nice honest video.
Nice review, In my honest opinion you should go with full air intake, full down pipe from turbo(bigger for better air fellow), high flow cat, full mid pipe, try not to change muffler or go with quietest sound available for muffler. you wont regret it trust me and finally and most important is a tune which Cobb access port is the best try to go with their setup and they will have right tune for your car ;)
+GAK Thanks for the suggestions! I will be uploading a video in the new year all about my plans for the car and to provide my subscribers with the opportunity to have an input into what I do.
What year is the car??
thank you for making these videos.
Definitely helped me make the decision to test drive one.
Time for the trusty C63 to make someone else happy I think.
keep up the good work.
looking forward to seeing more
...maybe a v10 R8 review soon?
+MonsterTVchannel Great, good luck :) if I can get hold of one haha. Latest review was on the AMG GT S!
I want to buy this car but I hear it has some serious mechanical problems involving transmission... do you have an extended warranty on your GTR?
jokur fuck the warranty! mod it to your liking and just upgrade the tranny if shits the bed or when it needs to be changed for more power
if you're worrying about maintainence budgets than the gtr is not a good car to buy a new z06 is better for u
Road Racers are you crazy! Recommending a chevy, they can't even get the left headlight or sunroofs that don't leak figured out. Also zo6 is a clutch eatting monster, tire and brake replacement would quickly out cost the gtr
How much for oil change?
How much for spark plugs which one to use?
Transmission oil? How much
+CarEnthusias Ber cost me 60 bucks oil change with stock oil and filter from nissan
Just wondering if it's an option to do the work yourself and still keep the warranty? I do alot of this work on my cars myself and I'll tell you you can change those pads and rotors in about 45 -1hr. if your slow. Don't know about the GT-R but most don't require any special tools. Just a wrench and some dirty hands. ;) Your next video should be how much you saved doing it yourself!
If you fart by the GTR it voids the warranty. Nissan is very picky about what is covered. Very nice ride though. Worth every penny.

What reg is your car?
There goes another guy:
This car is burning too much fuel
I needed front brakes
Tires are wearing out
Bro, having a supercar means more stops at a shop, not less.
I think he is aware of that but he is just simply showing his subscribers the cost of maintenance.
+whosCrihn Exactly!
I didn’t hear him complain once.
well done

I couldn't bear the thought of paying £500 for a service and £1100 for new discs and brakes. It just seems so obscene to me haha. Maybe if I get a better job.
I've kind of always believed, if you can afford the car you can afford the service and/or it breaking
Yes, unfortunately, sometimes running costs can be a bit of surprise though. thanks for watching :)
Maybe with new cars. Try an old 7 series - you can buy for peanuts but they cost thousands to upkeep properly.
olatron oddly, that's what my mom drives hahaha
Your mom has great taste in cars!
Not bad 15 miles per gallon . I have a bmw m5 v10 engine and it give me about 11 miles per gallon.
Oh man... I'm deciding what to get - either a GTR or an M5 or a C63. I currently drive a 740i and get about 19, big difference! Thanks for the info :)
I've wanted to buy this car when I think it's the right time and obviously check my money account but I just don't know 😀😀😀
Me too bro im about to switch to a rail car switchman for trains and ill be making good money and i hope i can save for this!
Get an oil change next I would love to see the cost on that
+alvarado hector The oil change is included with every service so forms part of the overall cost mentioned in this video.
Can I ask what is your driving style? How many presents of your driving is inside the town? About the mpg. I'm getting a 2012 model in next couple of years. My r33gtr was also fuel hongery but I could get 17mpg out of it in the highway.
Also take a look here for more people answering who own a gtr:
www.gtr.co.uk/forum/128676-average-mpg.html
I need some help over here please, I am looking for days how much does a insurance cost on 09' GTR, I cant ask around since I am about to move to Ireland from other side of the EU. I found all the info about running costs and annual tax on it, but how much do YOU pay for your car insurance??? P.S. you think 15 mpg is bad, I own 2004 Alfa Gt 3.2 V6 I average 10 mpg with it on a calm driving day which is impossible with it's sound.
+Dont ask me how I did this thing on youtube It is very difficult to say how much your insurance will be, simply because it is based on you as an individual and where you will be living. I personally have a clean license, am 24 years old, living in a quiet area my insurance costs me £1,100 a year fully comp. Hope this helps!
+Supercar Torque Jesus that is CHEAP!!! Thank you so much for reply!!!!
Yeah, it's pretty good and set to fall again when I turn 25!
Ok, so let me see if I got this right. With car insurance+annual road tax and annual running costs, I am looking at about 5000 pounds per year? And that's without something going bad, or needing new tires.
Car insurance: £1,100PA
Standard service with some small things changed: £1,500
Road Tax: £450
Tyres for a good set: £1,500
Hope that helps!
Mate I've be sick of my life spending £1600+ on a service lol. My best mates friend had a GTR and had nothing but issues and problems. Think it cost him £8000 in 10months of owning. I'd love one but keep looking at c63 AMG's.
I'm surprised you haven't got more subscribers! I sense you having a lot more in the future. Took me ages to gain some, but it will happen.
+Mr.Craig's Video Channel Hey buddy! I'm surprised to hear that your friend's mate had such problems with his GTR. I am part of a large group of GTR owners and none have experienced such issues. There have been a few who have blown their engine but that is on 1000+ BHP cars. I love the C63 but if a GTR is an option, you should go for that. It has started to grow recently so hopefully it continues to snowball, thanks for watching!
***** It's like any car, you get good ones, you get bad! I've not long sold my Range Rover Sport HSE, loads of people told me never to buy one due to issues, but in the 10 month's I owned it nothing broke.
Cal's GTR the sensor in the gearbox went twice on him, meaning he couldn't use the shift paddles.
He works away offshore and was away for 2 months, came back home and the tyres were fucked with the nitrogen being sat there so long, had to get a new set of tyres.
If your into your powerful GTR's my good friend Jurgen has the highest bhp one in the country... If you google him he'll pop up, he's been importing cars for about 10+ years now, I got my first Jap car Subaru Impreza WRX from him back in 2005 lol.
JM-Imports is his company
Mr.Craig's Video Channel I don't use nitrogen anymore, too much hassle! Yeah he owns SVM doesn't he? Pretty sure he has tuned a fair few of the Battalion member's cars! Seems like he knows what he is doing haha.
***** No no lol, Jurgen just imports cars he leaves the tuning to people who know what he's doing, he's clueless.
His first GTR engine0 blew up on track, then some a company called JunRacing rebuilt it to 1000bhp+, think its 1300bhp at the moment. He's just treat himself to a brand new Aventador (lucky bastard).
Is the 458 your's as well? Your doing alright for yourself if it is... You'll be the next SuperCars of London :-)
Your car's make mine look like clapped out bangers lol
+Mr.Craig's Video Channel jurgen uses syvecs ltd for tuning. that's where I've had my gtr done
balls to all that cost! I like the GTR but il sick with my 93 twin turbo supra targa, cheap as chips to fix compared to this and running stage 1 400bhp, I would have thought theres not a massive performance difference wise either, not really. in the real world. good vid tho
+nissan300bhp nice pic
hey mate
here a armytrix clip. I think it's to quiet honestly. just a bit raspy, not really farty like a straight pipe c63 but still very raspy.
there is a rose gold one now in london.
Hey bud, yeah I have heard mixed reviews of the armytrix exhaust so still not sure which I will go for. the Rose gold one is owned by a UA-camr who is also a member of our group. I haven't heard it properly yet though!
+Supercar Torque armytrix is overated if you want a good exhaust get a HKS or Password JDM very good exhausts
Ravi Shinjin The trouble is, I probably need to go with one that has controllable valves due to noise restrictions on track days!
true, you can try agency power they are pretty good
I haven't heard of them, where are they made?
Does anyone know what needs more maintenance? A used 2011 BMW M3 or a used 2011 Nissan GTR?
M3
m3 definitely
+Mark Hunt from what i^ve heard i would say that about equal. Just regural oil service and that kind of thing
M3 is a great machine ... but the GTR is a super car. There is no comparison.
is the gtr your daily driver?
No, I have a weekday car
500 Punds for a service on a GTR? Come to Denmark a service on my focus mk2 1.6TDCI 2009 is around 500-800 punds. Would easly could have a GTR if i lived out side Denmark :D
+Morten Nielsen Yeah, it is extremely reasonable, however, this of course does not include the price for parts that have worn out.
+Supercar Torque would still be the same price of my ford. :-P
+Morten Nielsen In Australia a Mercedes C200 or Audi A4 1.8 will easily set you back about $AUD 800 for a regular service, that's about £400GBP. My friend often drops upwards of AUD $2,000+ to service his 2006 CLS 55 AMG (and I'm being kind there it's often more as there is always something to fix). Another friend spent AUD $20,000 for a transmission fix on his Gallardo (or about £10,000)..ouch!!
So how much is that in US Dollars?
i guess is 100k dollars
The service was $650, the car itself is around $100,000+ new. You can find a good used one for around $50,000.
Oil is very easy to change on a GTR
how many miles /kilometers on it?
+fxnytroxtx I have just over 18,000 miles on the clock. Thanks for watching!
Hey buddy! They have been the same brakes since new and had over 15,000 miles on them. The previous owner drove it rather slow. I only use mine weekends, however, I do like to drive fast and take it on track days. I would say the costs within this video are pretty standard though, plus I will be buying a new set of tyres in the new year which will be another £1,200 (and that's a great deal). Hope this is helpful, let me know if you have any other questions and good luck with the purchase!
They are very reasonable, I have had other, slower cars, which have cost me just as much, if not more! Where is it you live for parking like that?!
***** Not a bad price for what the car can do but remember, the 2009-2010 models need servicing every 6 months whereas the 2011 onwards do not. It's worth bering that in mind. Let me know how you get on with the purchase!
+Tiberiu Gherasim No problem, happy to help! It does seem that the 2011 onwards hold their value better and I think that is due to the servicing and power upgrade too.
yea don't use OEM parts and risk your GT-Rs performance.
How much 100Litire?
+alec arnold What do you mean?
Of course fuel is a running cost. How can you possibly argue that it isnt?
+Chris Martin Any car you get at this level will have similar MPG and it is largely dependant on how much you use it and how hard you drive. Someone could get this car and use it once a month, therefore their fuel costs are very low. Does that now make it a cheap car to run?
It's about smiles per gallon, not miles.
That's the cheapest supercar which puts competition in it's price range down on their as*es.That's car which is meant to be abused and pushed to the limit,otherwise you can buy prius which will do the same if not better in terms of comfort :) YES if you own it,you own a supercar and you should have that in mind even before buying the car because the day of servicing will come sooner or later.He paid that much because he had cracked his disks which cost a lot,just brake pads are not that expensive.And if you have 100k in total you don't rush for the best that fits your budget,you go for the best that you can service in future.
+TheFoxfy I agree haha!
+Supercar Torque Great car man ! And awesome videos! Keep it up.
so much rust.. no parking garage? who leaves a gtr outside during bad weather.. holy hell
+PRANKurFACE Where is the rust?! The Ferrari is parked inside the garage.
America!
k
Its not a supercar, its a fast car
Nice one! :)
Olatro the GTR is faster however is more expensive then that m5 or c63. Now if you thinking about fuel economic don't buy these car they waste a lot of gas but all super car does, so you don't buy these car because the fuel economic you buy it because they are fast and they are super car. now when i was looking for my car i was between the c63 benz and the m5. the c63 look great and sound good but there is comparison to the m5. the c63 dashboard is plastic where my m5 dashboard is all leather. also top of my m5 is all alcantera which is used in Lamborghini , ferrari ect, ect. but the c63 has the top as normal car , so to me personally does are the little details the make a different from one car to the other. It look like the benz cut some corners to save money when i don't see that on my BMW. Finally the V10 BMW the engine sound like a dream….. it sound like a ferrari 430 it just a dream to drive my car… : ) I hope this help!!!!
I would love to own a GTR and the below comment makes perfect sense. And guess you can't run a car like that on the cheap.
Hey👋
i have every month after my Living costs around 1000€ over that i can spend!
is that enough to maintaine an GTR?
im also looking at an C63 AMG W204, just love the Sound;)
and im also intrested in an 08 STI.
know the GTR is the most expansiv and the STI the cheapest.
Wow he used miles per gallon that is surprising
In New Zealand here everything is metric has been since about the 60s I think, lots of my car buddies still use mpg etc. I have no idea what kilometres per litre would be LOL. 1.6ks per mile, 4.something litres per gallon no idea :)
I had a pad dislodge in my civic mid drive, you'll know when it happens lol
that doesn't sound too pleasant haha, glad I managed to get mine sorted before that happened!
Who drives a gtr and thinks 'this is not enough power'
I would like to see you deliver a gtr to my house 👍
First of all this car isn't a "super car" it's just a sports car
Yet it's faster than a supercar. What's your second point?
Nah it's the holy grail of supercars
echahly amine :D
+Nickheezy Breezy bullshit...its even faster than those "super cars"...
+Nickheezy Breezy wy cuz it says Nissan its not a supercar?
Price tag of 150000 brand new is a super car
so i only get about a mile a gallon better in my turbo frs lol
then you have problems lol. my mate has a turbo gt86 with 410bhp and that averages 24mpg on a motorway run
The Girl needs a wash man...next video ..I know you guys have shitty weather but just give her a clean 👍
Got to lintchfeild in Glouctershire Ian is the best Gtr expert out there can get it upto 1200bhp
Probably doesn't know how to change his oil...
+DaveA441 Probably not, still know how to work hard and pay someone else to though...
ROASTEDD
RJ Tutlam Nothing wrong with a bit of back and forth :p haha!
+Supercar Torque What year is your GT-R
RJ Tutlam 2011 on a 61 reg
Why don't you learn to do repairs your self
oh and a gtr is not a supercar
this is not a supercar a crazy fast sports car yes but not a supercar
I agree. I owned a 2013 and they are not supercars, they are great sports cars.
not a supercar
Sell it and buy a Transit
I'm tempted!
Lol good video and what a car you have , but bloody hell its cost more than my wife does to keep
+Phil Long Thanks mate. haha, unfortunately neither are cheap to run!
you should of taken back to nissan to get them to fix it
+Andrew Hague I don't think the pads had been changed since the car was purchased so it is standard wear and tear.
+Supercar Torque sorry I thought your first service was the cars first, I understand.
Originals should not be cracking however. Very bad.
Good video.
+Andrew Hague Their disks are prone to cracking, hence why you rarely see them on GTRs as the owners change them to these discs or AP. Not great I know.
gtr is not a super car
+John Steel exotic-fast-over priced-body made of light weight expensive materials-eye Catchy-fancy interior
+John Steel not being a hater boy i actually love the skyline series but maybe i'm wrong but it always been a super sport car in our eyes like r32-33-34....
It's a daily driver car that molests supercars :)
of course not but its cheap for 500
Ye i was thinking the same with it being a v6, but at least nissan engines last forever xD
As a very fast sports car its very cheap
nissan gtr = "super car" LOL
+mtb9061 It's just as fast as our Ferrari 458 LOL
+mtb9061 placed 1st last year in Bathurst and 2nd this year against a bunch of "supercars"... I think its bonafide.
This isn't a supercar
yes it is..
it is the definition of a supercar you moron...
***** no?..
***** A supercar isn't defined off its price
***** Performance, Design and Hype
***** The Design of the GTR is almost perfect in my opinion
Not helpfull at alllllll
+Martin Rodriguez What else do you need to know?
