Those same bonnet rams on the 370z !

I have my 370 maintained by a garage that specialise in GTR's , they tell me that it will cost about twice what my 370 does per year, about £1k. Servicing isnt that bad or that frequent , tyres are expensive but last about 10k and cost about £1500, the brakes hurt a bit about £2k for a discs and pads every 20-25k , if you track it you can double that lot

For me, two grand on brakes every 25k would be every five or more years.

I think once you get a car rule out whether there are any outstanding problems to deal with, or consumables needed, then it is generally plain sailing, the GTR is a Nissan after all and shouldnt generate the random expenses that perhaps a Maserati might, just through being Japanese.

Had a GTR for 23 months,bought it with 12k on the clock and sold it with 27k. In that time it had 2 services at Litchfields and the gearbox solenoid clips done which came to about £1300. The only other thing it needed was a a set of tyres which were £1100 ordered online. And that was it. Original brakes were still going strong at 27k miles and I had no problems with it at all,though this is not the case with all of them.

It's not the running costs of a GTR that's the issue, it's the endless modifying bug which everyone catches, costs a bloody fortune biggrin

No it does not include depreciation. I've had it for 39 months and I've lost £11k on it.

That's all servicing, tyres, an access port and a few other bits, actually it is probably a little less than £2k per year.

I do about 10k miles per year. I don't keep track of petrol, tax or insurance...

Cheers, doesn't sound that bad actually, Access Port is a remap tool isn't it ?


I think I could run one, just short of about 30 grand to put to the purchase price, £300 a month is quite a chunk of cash in depreciation but when you see what you get, it doesn't seem so bad, people pay more than that to lease diesel saloons, I suspect that the depreciation will be a lot shallower on a 40k example bought now.

I wonder if the depreciation on the R35 will follow the R34's pattern ?

I had one of the first 09 cars. Paid £39k for it and sold it two yrs later for £36 though I'm sure I could've got more had I not put it up for sale just after Xmas. The guy I sold it to has just sold it on a year later for £37k!

I can't see prices of tidy early cars moving much now. If anything they seem to be creeping back up.
