TT350 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Everyone on here is getting a GTR. Should be renamed www.350GTROC.co.uk lol. When I was 25 I had a 500 quid Primera. I'm 34 and I'm now driving a 600 quid Focus. Lol. So. How much do you sell a gram for?! I'm kidding. Awesome car. Well done and enjoy. (As if you need anyone to tell you to do that lol) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Congrats Nino! Please trust me on this one, don't do air ride on it :cry: Leave the car as it is for a few months, just drive it, put the money in insurance, petrol, tyres and servicing. Also book some advanced driving course as David said! Enjoy every second of the ownership and welcome to the club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal B Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Is your carbon signal kit just for the pre-facelift nismo bumpers or is it a whole new kit mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exec Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm 25 and wish I had a gtr but girlfriend + mortgage eat up most income which could be a gtr fund. She told me yday we're paving the drive and painting the whole house (both don't need doing) I'm never gonna get a gtr lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashurik Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 thanks guys its amazing!! it's stage 1 already which is fast enough so roughly around 600bhp also has a knight racer carbon fibre bodykit which has been painted white! so is basically hidden! have a few plans but i cant go extreme like the 370z! probably a wrap though and a few interior tweaks dont think i could do airide to it lol! cant believe im saying that better pic I like it all in white! Think that makes GTR even more bigger and more noticable! Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 it's stage 1 already which is fast enough so roughly around 600bhp http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/Nissan-GTR/nissan_gtr_performance_packs Stage 1 = 560-570bhp Stage 3 = Just over 600bhp You need full exhaust and 3" intakes to bring it there. Nevertheless, still an awesomely fast and grippy machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Its stage 1.25 by acspeedtech so yeah in their books about 600bhp Me and sam had a play yesturday and his was stage 1 and even he said its alot quicker I wouldnt mind a full exhaust though but heard horror stories about the armytrix which is what i wanted but litchfield said they get blocked up sometimes Edited June 11, 2016 by parello9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 What's the early impression of ownership mate. Is it win all the way or are there any negatives ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Okay soooooo I thought I may as well use this as my build thread as I like to keep track of everything and I feel like as I've come from a 350z, 370z to GTR a lot of people on here want to do the same. Being a GTR i cant go over the top or anything but this is more just tidying it up as i wanted to get it as mint as my 370z was! It already has a full Carbon Knight Racer kit though which has been colour coded and dual rear lights if your wondering why it looks abit different already First thing to do with purchasing any car is give it a good clean! and the interior had a few marks on the seats so i borrowed a steam cleaner and got to work! 10x better now but it's hard to show in pics really but the seats were still drying After a few weeks i went to see Sam and his GTR as he came from his supercharged 350z as a lot of you know him Kaizer Motorsport was next to get a new oil pressure sensor fitted as mine had failed My interior center console has some marks on the plastic as they all do too, so I had a bit of wrap left from my old 350z i could practice with just before i wrap it in gloss black. This is just to see how easy it is to wrap so don't worry its not staying that colour At the same time as doing this i had to fix the belt as the tension part wasn't there and it kept on becoming loose so this has been replaced now and good as new, the drivers side seat bolster as well had a bit of wear on the red part so i had this re dyed at the upholsters and is like new again now! also had my friend from dent devils' to remove 3 small door dings from the rear arch and is also prefect to now. It already looks much better now to how it did look and this is what its looking like Up next is the plate as i didn't like the normal one and as my 370z had guns on the plate there was never no need to change it. look how disgusting the rear bumper is!! Good clean and with a debadge to remove the nissan badge it looked better, the rear bumper does need paint though! Plates all on! the problem with having now a smaller plate is the old number plate holes that are exposed so this brings me to the next few mods the car will be having the following front bumper smoothed and painted (stone chips and numberplate holes) rear bumper smoothed and painted (rear bumper burnt from the flames it spits :yahoo: ) bonnet vents painted black wing arches painted black wings mirrors painted black that brings me up till now so just got to see what the paint cost is then book it in Edited July 6, 2016 by parello9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely attract gold diggers Edited July 7, 2016 by Rock_Steady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Looking very good but what is your ownership feedback on living with the car ?. Interested to hear your views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Looking very good but what is your ownership feedback on living with the car ?. Interested to hear your views. Its so much fun but i was always avoiding potholes in the 370z and cautious of hitting the wheels lol! Being a GTR it doesnt get as many looks as the 370z but still has alot of people looking especially when they hear it! Its just a beast lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Looking good Nino. How much was it to re-do the red parts of he seats? and where did you get it done? I was thinking about doing mine myself, but worried about the colour match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
