Funny, as kpkpkp just sold his GTR for a CSL, and another mate of mine sold his GTR for a normal M3. Look forward to hearing your verdict.

Dont get me wrong I loved mine to bits but they are an arse for costs.

As I said in another thread - I did not thrash mine any more than any other car I have owned and it only saw one track day and the brakes still only made 8800 miles - that is shit!! If my 911 had killed its discs after 8800 I would have taken it back under warranty. Nissan just put it down to wear and tear.

The servicing is not that bad but again the post track day inspections will always equal an oil change and the car eats rubber - but it would do to have that level of grip.

My only other gripe is the paint on the car and the wheels is terrible and I mean terrible - it looked worse at 8 months than my old M3 did at 4 years.

You can forgive all of this for the out and out pace of the car, it is so quick it is untrue. I fitted a Y-Pipe to mine as I felt it sounded a bit bland and other than that I loved it. The interior is great, the grip is like nothing else and the turbo rush is something to behold.

The CSL has better steering feel and is more tactile. It makes a better noise and takes more skill to drive - a good driver in a GTR will whip a great driver in a CSL. A great driver in a GTR will murder anything on the track without question.

I am sure you will love the GTR - I would struggle to understand anyone that wouldn't. Jenson Button has one and he loves his.

Here is a clip of mine - check out the noise with the Y-Pipe fitted.

I didn't use my CSL as a track car and won't be tracking the GTR so hopefully some of the costs I have seen won't apply.

I seen a white one at Middlehursts and the paint did look awful. The bumpers looked cream comapred to the white body.

I am really pleased with the UMS paint so far, but only time will tell.


Both are awesome cars though:thumbs:

[TMAQ]

both are amazing cars. sounds much much better with the Y pipes even on idle. it would be the first thing i'd change.

Interesting feedback:thumbs:

Is it a common problem for them to eat discs so quickly, and if so, why do they? How much are replacement discs, and can you upgrade them to something that lasts longer?

[kpkpkp]

Discs are a common issue on the car and it being a heavy car is very heavy on its brakes.

Most people have replaced the OEM discs with Alcons which are slotted not drilled or something similar for around £1800 with pads which is not too pad.

I think I will go with APs that Middlehursts supply once my OEM ones need replacing, don't seem too expensive:thumbs:

My cuz can vouch for the alcons and uses RS 29 pads. Not sure but i think he swapped the discs out from new so he can put them back on when he's done with it.
These cars are more and more appealing to me every time i see them. Future buy for me i think.

You won't regret it:thumbs:
