Nissan GT-R
This is more like it
My Vantage was sold back to the dealer I bought it from 18 months earlier, and he sold it within a few days. I think they will always sell quickly if they are good examples. My GT-R came from Nissan Manchester. I truly shocking dealership that I would not recommend to anyone. Every other car I’ve bought I would certainly be happy to go back to the dealer, but not these clowns. So when I arrived to collect it, there it was, filthy dirty, completely unprepared for me. Okay, I didn’t expect it to be waiting with a big pink ribbon tied round it, but I did expect it to be valeted. And their after sales service was worse. I’ve never taken it back to them after almost 5 years of owning it.
Hang on to your hat
My GT-R is a 2011 car but a model year 10. That means 485 bhp which gives 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. Which is bonkers. For about £2k you can make it more bonkers. If you change the exhaust (mine has a Russ Fellows straight thru one, but still has the primary OEM cats for emissions), plus a remapped ECU (ECUTek) and 2013 Nissan gearbox software you can take it to 600 bhp. After that it starts getting more expensive. But at 600 ponies it’s more than nuts.
Black paint - blue wrap
The Nissan black paint is terrible. They might have well as just pained it with black water as it’s that bad. If a fly farts on it then it will damage it. It’s truly shocking, it really is not fit for purpose. After more than a year of umming and arhing about getting it wrapped I finally put my hand in my pocket and took it to PWPro and had it wrapped blue - 3M Ocean satin shimmer.
