Maintenance and servicing costs - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

BigNige · 23rd June 2008, 08:24 PM

I know a few figures have been posted with regards to costings/mpg etc, but does anyone have an idea of what servicing the gtr may cost here? If you already own a gtr abroad what do you pay for servicing/brakes/replacement lights/wiperblades etc?!
If you post it in your currency can you let me know how to convert it to UK prices please! I appreciate it will only be approx figures.
If you could compare the running costs to a car on sale in the UK now what would it be...?!
I've never owned a car like this before and I'm curious of some ball park figures - still getting it anyway though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i reckon a good comparison would be audi r8. im assuming about £500 for a major service and around £250 for smaller service.

For converting, just ask google.

Example:
Put in google search: '24 $ in €' or '24 usd in €'
You get: 24 US$ = 15,4023874 €

or you can do it at OANDA, The Currency Site: Foreign Exchange Services and Trading

Thank you for all the above info!

there is a us spec gtr manual on the NAGTROC website, I haven't had chance to look at it yet as you have to be a member to view it & I'm not.

perhaps the powers that be might consider an agreement between GTROC and NAGTROC to share information?

Here all Pictures from NAGTROC:

They get 3yrs free servicing by the looks of it - pitty same doesnt extend to here (or doubt very much).

thanx for getting the pictures off nagtroc, interesting reading. I read somewhere too that if you drive your gtr with VDC off (fun button on the dash) it voids your warranty! and there is a black box recorder on the gtr that the dealership can check this?! all info from nagtroc website, makes interesting read though.
so if you have a bit of fun with the button off you have no warranty.....?!

are you serious? i think that's a bit out of order!

but i guess you take a risk knowingly so you can't really blame anyone but yourself if anything happens..

if ever you do launch control though, you have to disengage vdc! so once you have bought the gtr, you can never do launch control!

well......that really is stupid, i guess it's not too bad considering low 4's without it on anyways but it's kind of putting me off the order, so i'm guessing every track day is a risk with no warranty? hmmm
