You would expect Datsun would spend a bit more money making the interior more plush.

They have improved for the GT-R imo having just sold a 911 I know there not in the same quality as that but compared to the Evo X I had there are light years ahead in terms of Cabin Build Quality and the amount of Gadgets will keep any Playstation fans happy for hours

GT-R or not... it's still a Nissan.... (or Datsun in old money)

Exactly and that's the best part - they don't rape you for paying for the brand

Hope it wasn't too painful when you got raped.

Don't worry luv quality always shows through.

The interior of the GTR is way over the top in my opinion. I thought the 350 had a few unnecessary dials/gauges but the GTR is just crazy. Love the look though, seen quite a few in the flesh now, but not driven one. Not witnessed the build quality but my '08' 350 is miles ahead of my '05' 350 was if that's any indication of progress (he says desperately trying not to be bias!!!)

£5 says he sells it by the end of 09

Yeh seen a white one. Steve's one has a better color and the rims are sikk. Much more mean looking. Epic car IMO.

Dr Dave · 08-01-2009, 12:55 AM

So when are we going to be officially told that Steve's got a Datsun?

mikem · 08-01-2009, 01:21 AM

A friend was in a GT-R the other weekend that had been tuned to ~ 600 HP and said it was in a different league to even his old Porsche, pictured below.

It might be a nissan and it might be plasticky, but boy, what a car in the flesh!! I know what you guys are saying though, I would rather have a Zonda aswell.

Neil McRae · 08-01-2009, 12:21 PM

nice motor steve congrats, just beware of nissan warranty stupidness if you mod it.

Plasticky? ???

There's a brilliant thread in the US about M3 v GTR that may have missed your contribution. About 14 pages on how interior design of the 2 cars

Hoops · 08-04-2009, 10:56 AM

I have to say i agree with almost all of the comments on this rather funny thread started by my number one groupie Mr Fandango. Yes, it is a Nissan/Datsun, yes it is a little tacky inside (im not a fan of the Playstation-esque console), and yes it does lack many of the luxuries and fineries of my E92 M3 etc etc.................BUT F**K ME ITS FAST!!! And it'll wipe the smile off any Porker Turbo, Lambo Gallardo and the rest in heartbeat!!!!!

Steve A · 08-04-2009, 11:01 AM

its a minter, the exact spec mine was...... be safe in it they are ferocious.

Hoops · 08-04-2009, 11:13 AM

Very true Stevie!! Its already taken me by surprise in "R" mode twice now due to how animalistic the power delivery is. Are you smoking around in an RS4 now fella???

jjbirch · 08-04-2009, 11:18 AM

was it from a dealer steve,or a private sell

How fast is fast Steve ?

red355 · 08-04-2009, 01:33 PM

Its on my list to replace the denzil, but the servicing & brake cost look daunting.

Brake pads - front - £1013.15
Brake pads - rear - £831.45

Discs and pads - front - £1842.30
Discs and pads - rear - £1660.60

Servicing (which must be undertaken strictly every 6 months or 6k miles which ever is sooner)

6k Service - £ 256.92
12k Service - £ 528.21
18k Service - £ 938.07
24k Service - £ 740.09
30k Service - £ 256.92
36k Service - £1,386.45
