Hello All,

I've just joined as I begin my hunt for GT-R.

Other than the usual used-car checks, is there anything special that I should look out for when searching for my first GT-R? I have a budget of around £40k so was hoping to get a 2010/11 model. In fact, I've seen one on Pistonheads at just under £42k that I hope to see this weekend.

Thankyou in advance,

OpenAllHours

Check brake discs for cracks, leave car in neutral and hold the revs at 1800rpm and if you feel the car vibrating then then the bell housing needs doing, check history by actually calling the dealership, and check windscreen for chips.

Add to that to check tyre wear. GT-R's have fantastic performance, but it does come at the cost of some consumables - eg - petrol, brakes and tyres.

More importantly, which one are you?

You won't get a MY11 for £40k but you'll get a well cared for MY10

Good luck with your search

You might struggle to get a nice my10 for that but keep looking till you get the rite one with low miles and owners that's also important for resale value
