MY11 or MY12 ?? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Voyager · 8th August 2012, 08:56 AM

dealer has a new MY11 in stock at a discount i am wondering if its worthwhile going for this rather than an MY12.
does anyone know what the difference are between the 2 models apart from the obvious software upgrades which i guess can be uploaded to the MY11.

thanks

Some difference in the suspension on MY12 to take into account the drivers weight. Other than that mainly software, the extra 15-20 bhp easily achieved and more so my view the MY11 at a good discount is a better bet.

I had this exact choice and went for a 12 registered 11 for exactly the reason.

The changes are moot for me as I've upped the power, and changed the suspension!

thanks marc, i was hoping this was the case, then the £ saved can go toward some tuning work.

Adamantium · 8th August 2012, 09:39 AM

is it by any chance the black 2011 in the mill hill garage?

Henry 145 · 8th August 2012, 09:42 AM

It's August and there are still unreg MY11's at dealers...how can Nissan and the stealers make money from the GTR?!

Voyager · 8th August 2012, 10:12 AM

its at westway in manchester, i'm heading over there today to have a look

Adamantium · 8th August 2012, 10:30 AM

what colour is it and what discount are they offering, pm if you prefer. Am wondering if you could benefit from asking them to match the deal I got.

Henry 145 · 8th August 2012, 10:32 AM

How about the MY12 for sale with massive discount in the Members cars for sale section on here?

Ok, having read steve raspberry's for sale thread, I'd be going with that!

IF IT WEREN'T BLUE!!!

If you like the blue, you'd be mad not to.

SteveRaspberry · 8th August 2012, 11:43 AM

Thanks Adam

.... Apart from the Blue comment obviously

At that price you could always get it wrapped! ;-)

Adamantium · 8th August 2012, 12:04 PM

I'd wrap it in matte, matte blue looks fantastic.

SteveRaspberry · 8th August 2012, 12:12 PM

Just spoke to the dealer. Car is due in on the 24th this month ready for 1st September on a 62 plate - and matte blue looks fantastic x 2! ;-)

CT17 · 8th August 2012, 06:05 PM

MY11 or MY12, I'd take the MY11 and suffer not having right handed suspension.
The 20bhp and slightly louder exhaust will probably be changed with a stage 2 at some point anyway...

so they don't count in the thought process for me.

But in this case, I'd buy Steve's car in the private sale section. No question.

If I hadn't bought a MY11 about three months ago and already had it wrapped I'd have probably bought it already...
