New GT-R owner

Just bought a MY 2012 GTR Black Edition, not delivered to me yet, but that means more time to search for mods !

Car has aftermarket wheels and brake disks otherwise is stock, cant wait to get a little seat time and compare with the 996tt and 335i

Congrats! I went from 996TT to DBA GT-R as well and I see a lot of people making the switch as well. Steve Theodore and I have identical gunmetal twins.

Congrats to you too ! Seen you on life... I LOVE the gunmetal, but this was a pretty good deal to pass it and after gunmetal and silver, black was my third option

We have a good shop around and some crazy GTRs here in town... Alpha16 and another ETS 6766 setup both running strong low 8s at the strip.
Lots of stock engine or mild build GT-Rs some racing them at the circuit track or just enjoying DD them...going to be fun !

first day out

Thanks man!

Been out for the first time with the gt-r, car is exactly what I have read here on the forums:
- noise comes from everywhere - diifs, brakes, gearbox, clutches, tires, etc..
- front driver seat is narrow for me... car is BE, I will do the fix soon..
- bad view of surroundings when parking, I might addd a rear camera and didnt check for front parking sensors
- for 530hp I thought to be faster, my 996tt at WG pressure does 530hp and is way faster than the gt-r; my 335i pushed at the limits does also about 530hp and weights 1810kg and I guess the gt-r performance in a straight is 335ish, but 335i will go..

+ ninja gearbox, just love it
+ big car and pretty comfy including multimedia and technology on-board
+ good stability compared to 996tt, 335i, etc..
+ has ISOFIX so I was able to get my 3weeks son with me !!!
+ big trunk

Definitely not the best car to DD for everybody, but I will DD it as I will trade some comfort for performance, car will be FBO soon and some additional cooling for road racing and will stay like that for this year

Looking forward to get it to road racing and doing some LC too..

Brake squeal issue is an easy fix. I replaced the stock pads with Hawk compounds. Noise = GONE 100%.

Bought a 2014 10 weeks ago from dealer with 610 mi. on it. Guy couldn't live with color. $108K MSRP, bought for 77K. I love the way the color changes and the dry carbon wing.
I have driven GTR's since inception and they have constantly improved ride quality and interior. To that end I love this car and no doubt will always have a GTR in the cave...lol

Couldn't pass it up, knowing the Nissan dealer GM paved the way. Another plus, there is only 100 of these produced.


Low audience here, how can we spool this up!
