After cancelling my original GTR order when my Daughter came along, and numerous other things getting in the way for the last few years I am stupidly excited to be picking up one this Wednesday. I have spent a good few hours trawling the forum and feel like I know a lot of you already.
I hope to be posting my experiences here and still feel like there is sooo much for me to learn about this car.
I've no doubt that it won't remain standard for ever, as nothing I have owned has, but I do have to bear the warranty in-mind. Saying that I have already ordered a Y-pipe as it seems that's not an issue and I'd like to pump up the volume a bit

Today has mostly been spent 'nesting' in the garage....

Welcome mate good to here you bought the best colour-DMG

 

[SamboGrove]

Congrats and welcome to the forum :thumbsup:

Keep us updated on modding progress it all starts with just a y-pipe!

 

[matt4man]

Sure too, thanks for the welcome....am I right about the Y pipe and warranty??

 

[Trevgtr]

I think I saw that one on PH Matt, at a very good price from Ancaster Bromley?

Yeah the Y pipe mod is accepted by NHPC's and makes the car sound great, I did a small sound video in Cheddar Gorge last week but can't upload it because it's in MP4 format and the forum won't accept it.

You'll love the car!

 

[matt4man]

Yeah thats the one Trev. I thought it was a pretty good deal:thumbsup:

Strange Chris said i would be okay for y-pipe and remap, but when i said stage 4 it was a nope. I'll ask on tuesday-Wednesday as im there picking my car up.

[matt4man]

Please do, I'd be interested to know if they will. Might be worth the drive!!

 

[SamboGrove]

Minor mods like y-pipe etc certainally used to be fine with regards to warranty, especially on completely unrelated and common items like fogged headlights, bell houseing etc.

I have had warranty work on headlights, bellhousing and steering lock whilst at stage II.

Well, what can I say. Great handover from Ancaster this afternoon and I put the first 150 miles on it this evening. I absolutely love this car already and I'm nursing it everywhere. Can't wait to get the next 1k miles out the way!!!!
