Hello all. I wanted to make a first post after joining a few weeks ago in the run up to buying my first GTR. Thanks to all of you who make this site so helpful and informative. It really helped me in making my selection as to which car I would buy and I really appreciated the advice on what to look out for when I did.
I am now the proud owner of a silver MY09 2 1/2 year old version. It is a stock version (at least for now) and I am yet to stop smiling since picking it up.
I am looking forward to plenty of fun years with the beast and benefiting from the forum and hopefully sometimes contributing too.

I've recently brought the same 59 plate GTR and only a weekend car but woooowww it's fun ! I too am looking to mod it but I'm thinking lit fields stage 1 ? What you got in mind ??
Yep Litchfield stage 1 - that is what I am thinking. There are a number of other firmware / software updates recommended on here too for the transmission and the like, to take the MY09 closer to the current machine which sounds great. I expect software updates on a laptop, but not a 470bhp motor. Brilliant.
I too have only had mine for a month and still haven't stopped smiling. I get soooo excited at just the thought of opening the garage on a friday and bringing it out for the weekend.
I will also be modding soon. Looking at grabbing a Japspeed Cat back exhaust and then visiting Litchfield for a re map and trans flash. can't wait :clap:
That is some list of cars in your history. I would love to know how you think the GTR compares.
I have taken one friend out, who currently has a GT3, and although he was already thinking about it, when he got out he said "you do know I will have to get one of these now".
imm looking at the moment , sooooo close to getting one, middlehurst have a car that i think i will buy, just need to get the numbers to add up then its bye bye RS4 and hellllllo GTR
dominic1 - I had a look a the ones at Middlehurst, specifically the DMG one. Steve took me out for a proper test drive in the red one which sealed the decision of going for a GTR. Both those MY10 had my eye, but I decided to get one a little older and save the money for the mods (or at least the running costs). Mine had 12k miles only when I picked it up and I saved ad decent wodge too.
yep don't know witch way to go, they have 2 10 plate cars, really like the red one reg number is NL10BXB if any one knows it any info would be welcome , dont know if its worth the extra over a 09 one they have .
Do what I did and go half way between. Mine is a 59 plate with just over 7 months warranty left. It took a bit more looking and it doesn't have sat nav or iPod connection but the price difference was more than big enough to remedy those an then some.

I used to have an RS4. The GTR is so different. Its all positive towards the GTR apart from the poor ride and constant creaking rattling dash/trim. Been out tonight for a blast and cos its been sat in the cold it was making all sorts of noises. Still love it though and you learn to live with all that. Nearly 3 years for me. So dam expensive to run though.
A body have any really good imagery of the valenti lights with the oe look in red. Trying to see how the ring from 2015 setup compares and if it's just worth going the extra few hundred pounds on 2015 over valenti. Anyone got any opinions on the valentis look. I've scoured google and you tube...
For those who've had their engine built, did you bother with changing the valvetrain components?
I've been look at various brands and specs but having searched on here I struggled to find people talking about their experience with brands or timing duration etc.
I'm thinking about shooting for...
My 2009 R35 has just experienced the dreaded steering lock fail, car had to be towed.
Lock was removed and fixed, fully tested and working fine now, but as a precaution the lock fuse was removed.
It obviously never had the re-call as it is the early metal lock, not the later plastic cased...
Changing my wheels today o got a look at my brake pads and they are just a little low!
currently running AP discs and Cosworth pads which are absolutely fine, but want something with a bit more bite. Looking at the carborech xp20 but wondered where to buy and what other options are out there.
