[GTR_PETE]

Hello everyone, I'm new to GTRs, in fact I haven't even got one yet I'm picking it up in three weeks time. Just a few questions , Does the R35 have to be run on super unleaded or could a octane booster be used? Is there any common faults I should look out for, this is a 2009 premium edition with 20k.

Many thanks

Pete

I would run it on super unleaded rather than octane booster.The best super unleaded fuel is either shell v-power or tesco's own super unleaded which is octane 99.

Regarding what to look out for,is brake disc's having slight cracks between the holes,tryes,bellhousing noise,water in headlights.

Im still on a look out for a gtr,these beasts eat brakes and tyres which arent cheap.

O forgot and welcome to the forum

Hi Pete welcome to the forum :wavey:

I run mine on Tesco 99, the same as I used to use for my Subarus and S2000. I certainly wouldn't run it on 95 RON!

Whereabouts in the North East are you? I'm in Teesside.

I'm from hartlepool, iv only ever seen one Gtr in the flesh. I was on my way to buy a FQ 400 when I decided against it and go for the gtr.

Hi Pete. There are a few GTRs round the north east. I live in teesside. You won't regret your purchase.

The only one I've seen (apart from mine!) around these parts is a blue one, which seems to work somewhere near where I work (Seal Sands). I had a couple of STIs before the GTR, but I used to like Evo VIIIs and IXs, too. Not so sure about the Evo X though...

h pete
welcome

[SamboGrove]

There's quite a few in the toon.

I'm often down in boro in mine as well as have friends down there.

 

[GTR_PETE]

Wow there seems to be a few northerners on this forum, do you guys ever have any meets?

Safcjo- yes as far as I'm aware I'm buying it from David Hayton dealership in Carlisle.

Hi Pete. Welcome to the forum. I'm from South Shields but spend my time between there and work in Northants. I always go for Shell V-Power where I can but have used Esso or BP 97 RON for the odd tank.

Hi Pete, welcome mate hopefully you're going to love it!
Quite a few up here now it seems, hopefully we'll be able to have a catch up in the next few weeks as the conditions improve - Hodge just posted about the prospect of a meet; we've managed to get out a few times and to some of the events which were a blast!

I also run mine on V-power with the odd Tesco 99. I am based in the toon too, welcome to the forum.

 

[Mrw]

Did Hodge manage to sort a meet out ?

 

[SamboGrove]

Looks like his thread got shut down by moderators.

I'd be up for something though.

 

[Mrw]

Yeah me too. Do you know who the north east GTROC rep is ?

 

[LiamGTR]

All these North East GTR's and I haven't seen any! Where do you all hide!? actually I lie I seen a silver maybe '09 going over the Tyne Bridge a few weeks back.

 

[goRt]

Yes, it's clearly listed.

 

[SamboGrove]

Yes, it's clearly listed.

Well that's massively helpful :GrowUp:

It's Ian (Forum name IMS). I think it's a bit early in the year for him to be organising a meet. I think they normally start about May time IIRC.

I've only been along to one proper north east meet. othertimes have just arranged to go for a bit of a hoon with other members.

It's funny but since I bought my GT-R over 7 months ago I haven't seen a single other example, other than at Nissan HPC, anywhere in the country. I know they're out there somewhere though :chuckle:
