Goodbye 350z, Hello GTR... :)

After nearly 4 years of owning my wonderful 350z, I took the plunge and have upgraded.

 

Whilst I've not been very active on this forum, it's been incredibly useful and interesting and has led me to some great people who have done work on my 350z. I have really appreciated the access to people far more in to the technical bits and pieces of the 350z than I am.

 

I've done nearly 50k in the car since I bought it, but now it's time for the car to go to another good home and I know it'll be looked after where it's going.

 

Here's a glimpse of what my GTR looks like (I hope I've done that right)...

It's a thing of beauty and raging performance... I think I'm going to like it as much as the 350z...

 

Cheerio!

Thank you for the compliments, it is a fantastic car.

 

@ZMANALEX: I don't believe it's had any engine upgrades, no. It's the Recaro edition post the uplift that happened in 2011/12, is 542bph and has a carbon-fibre rear wing It's been spending the last year or so on the Isle of White. It's only got 20k on the clock. There's plenty of time for upgrades!

 

Fortunately my wife is fully supportive, she's even coping with the fact that my new motorbike (that I expected to arrive in May) arrives this weekend as well. For those of you who know motorbikes, it's a 66 plate Suzuki cherry red DL1000 V-Strom... I'm not going to know what to ride/drive next week! :)

 

All the time I was looking for a GTR, I was going for a Gunmetal Grey GTR, but more or less fell in love with this colour - Daytona Blue. It really pops in the sunshine.

Congrats and welcome to performance motoring with a capital "P".

 

Lovely colour too.

 

Don't try a modified one - unless you want to realise the huge performance and drivability gain that can be had for very few £! (Stage 4 or 4.25 is the sweet spot.)

 

David.
