Those of you who wake up in the morning to go to work, what do you think this will do a gtr's drive train .Will this doing this everyday reduce the car's reliability or can this car reach 50K+ miles no problem?

I really want to own the new GT-R but since It might be the only car I'll own, I wanna know If driving daily will require constant trips to the dealership to be serviced or not

Thanks
2009's go for around 55k so its relatively affordable

It has one of the worst service schedules this side of ferrari. People still do it though.

~55k could buy you a brand new 2014 corvette stingray

this is the car I'm drooling at the most atm....and if I have a good work year I could almost pull it off

my budy dd's a r32 gtr, but not in winter he usually buys a beater and sells it for summer

Thats not even a comparison worth doing.


Any car can be a DD. There was a guy that daily drove a McLaren F1. Its all if you think its worth the hassle and you can afford it.

Christ someone sounds classy as fuck...

Honestly they aren't that bad if you are doing the work yourself. Fluids are still expensive. Tires are constantly expensive (other comparable cars are close to the same though.) It's the ass shafting Nissan dealers put to their best paying customers that is appalling. Their labor costs on that car are ludicrous. It isn't a Ferrari or Lambo no matter how you slice it. They charge like it is though.


Also the vette is ~1.5 sec slower around Laguna Seca with the same driver. For the price it is quite worth looking at if he intended on leaving either car stock. I understand what you mean from a car snob pov though. It's a base model corvette. No matter how quick it is, or how nice the interior is, or how fun it is to drive, or how cheap, it can't be compared to something twice the price. Besides, if he was looking at corvettes in that price range I would steer him towards a 2011-2013 Z06 with the Z07 package. That is probably the purest corvette that has been built since the C2. Big inch N/A power and torque, most refined chassis of the generation, magnetic ride from the ZR1, carbon brakes, and sticky tires. It's one of those rare cars that I get excited talking about. It's also rare because there are still some sitting on lots brand new and we ALREADY know that they will be THE corvette to have from this era in 20, 30, 40 years. It is very likely that there will never be another big inch N/A corvette.

But I digress. If you do the maintenance on a GTR yourself, mainly brakes and fluids, you can make it manageable especially if you use aftermarket brakes.

its just that i need awd for the snow but i guess I could pick up a beater and run that and the stingray which is suprisely a very sharp looking corvette

Oh lawd.


R35 in the snow as a DD


Some Nissan fanboi is going to come gouge your eyes out with a grapefruit spoon for contemplating that.



There is someone local to me that DD's one and never washes it. It has silver wheels but they look matte black from the brake dust. It never snows here though. Even then it's rare for our area. I've only seen 2 or 3 in my hometown since 09.

If you want to be miserable, sure. They may be fun on a track but cars like that get old when driven daily.

I once had to drive my Lotus as a daily for about a week and it was awful. With my experience with GT-Rs, I imagine it would be just as bad.
