I picked up a used GTR last week and just wanted to say how blown away with it I am. I've owned fast cars before: Z4M, Cayenne S, Cooper S JCW, Pulsar Etc but this takes it to a whole new level - like nothing I have ever driven before!
I had wanted one for years and has been well worth the wait
Haha yea I've been looking forward to getting some pics up but wanted to get it gleaming first. It seems to have just rained ever since I bought it : ( hopefully Griffiths will be able to help me out there
It's a MY2012 in white with Recaro's, pretty much standard other than a few carbon bits.
Is there anything you would recommend doing as a new GTR owner? It had its 24 month service at Kaizer (albeit about two months early) two weeks ago. I also had an inspection done there - we'll worth the £100 and Sly is a very knowledgeable chap! I'm also thinking about having it detailed and paint protected at Griffiths
I'm sure he can. I got my white my10 detailed by Pwpro about 6 months ago and it looked epic. Just waiting on some carbon to arrive from japan to finish the look off at the mo.
You planning on tuning at all? I'd highly recommend an exhaust and remap to unleash a few extra ponies and make it sound a bit better :smokin:
Chris will be able to sort you out. He has just moved into a new building so give him a call.
Simple Y pipe and stage one would probably be a good place to start. Mine has a Ypipe and I will probably get it stage 1'd next year as I've had ecutek software on other cars and was really impressed with it. Make sure you get some track days in or go on the CAT driver training course its really good and you will learn a load about the way the car behaves.
thanks buddy
Well im looking at this car tomorrow and its already a stage 1 Litchfield tuned car so should I go for it im on the tuning firm from the off!!!!

Had mine a couple of weeks now, and know exactly what you mean.. For all the swapping and changing cars i have done in the last few years, i could have had a new GTR,

I echo that... I have chopped and changed over the past several years, however once I have a GTR it will be a keeper....Its sunny today (well in Dorking anyway) so get out and drive the car!!!!!!
Finally got some sun today and managed to finish work early so took it for a spirited drive : ) I took it relatively steady and even so it was absolutely incredible! Not loving the 110 miles to 3/4 tank though! lol
Went via Griffiths Detailing and asked him what he would recommend. He didn't think it needed much but I'm gonna just go with his "gold treatment" and be done. I was very impressed by him and he had a very nice Aventador in too
Haha yea I had thought a lot about modding it before I bought it and for the time being it is plenty quick enough! But who knows in a couple of months time. Although I do find it weird how quiet it is so I might get myself down to Litchfield's for a Y-pipe
By the way does putting the left toggle switch into "R" mode put a different map on?
Left one is the transmission. In R mode the gear changes are quicker in manual and a bit more sporty in auto. If you pop it in R and gearbox in auto and drive with spirit you'll get the car rev matching on downshifts which is pretty cool. I tend to stick with manual gears though and all three switches in R mode...unless the roads are wet!
Ah ok that's interesting thanks. Even the traction control in "R"? - brave man! Lol
