chipshopman Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 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! chipshopman 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 That's my favourite GTR colour. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipshopman Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyflier Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 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.

Humpy Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I would give my Mrs away not to have one On a serious note i truly do hope the GTR gives you as much joy as your zed has! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trouser Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Not to my taste - I prefer the understated Zed to the 'look-at-me' spoliers etc. But enjoy Can I ask - One of the great things I've enjoyed about owning a Zed is this forum - does yours have something similar?

chipshopman Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 @The Trouser - yes, it appears that the GTR has a very similar forum to the 350z one. I've just gone and registered and am having a nose about at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'm on the GTR forum too and believe me it doesn't come close to this forum.If Carlsberg did car forums it would probably be 350zuk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
