depends.... stage 4 or 4.25.... the difference is the downpipes and they make a big difference. Without I think 620 is about right and with mine made 654.
Not a great deal changes between the MYs, they changed intakes and intake piping, but that is changed as part of stage 4. The difference I have seen is when people change intercoolers.

Lichfield quote 620bhp mine's on V6 Ecu-Tek I bought the car from Lichfields so can't compare V5 and V6 comparing it to my first GTR which was stage one on V4 This one pulls a lot harder in the mid range and top end

as there are so many pages to read from, what's the servicing/ running costs like on the 2011 gtr.
Im guessing you need atlest 1k a year for the yearly service and spending the money when needed anywhere else.

depends on how you use the car.... I use it a fair bit
-2 services a year (5-600 each) mine is actually going in tomorrow for a service
-2 sets of pads to a set of discs (front)
-tyres..... well I killed the front r888r tyres in a single day

I didn't track my GT-R because of fear of tyre and brake costs. Brand new tyres for me on track last about 10 minutes until they delaminate then pop. As a road car, because of depreciation, my GT-R was the best value car I've had.

My GTR does around 6k miles per year the car has averaged 18mpg
Service cost depend on what service is due small service is about 400quid a major is about a grand disc and pads all round is about 2grand and a set a tyres will cost about a grand to 1100 quid for a set of Michelin
I bought my car from Lichfields so it had just had a full service tyres where at 4mm plus and they had fitted AP discs front and rear Things you should check if your thinking of buying one

I only do around 65 miles a week town driving so fuel wouldnt be an issue.
Also i believe its important to have warranty on a car like this, wouldnt really wanan get one without. some places offer warranty 1k a year covering all mechanical issues. Other than that heard the car is bullet proof apart from gear box problems on earlier models and a few rattles in the cabin.

I thought breaks were around 4k, not bad if they 2k but they should last me long as i do small mileage and have no intentions of tracking it.

I wouldnt bother with a warranty - I've had mine over 7 and half years and had to replace a fair few parts in and out of warranty. If anything does go wrong most of it can be fixed for less than four figures. As an idea I had solenoid issue with gearbox under warranty as well as light cluster and two bellhousings. Out of warranty I've had a gearbox synchro and alternator to replace. Think all of those could probably now be fixed for less than 1k if not 1.5k

I have had mine 5.5 years and no real issues.
Looking forward to the pics! Who is doing this for you?

Yeah, huge difference.... sadly I left it too long. First it was supposed to be getting wrapped, then sold (so was expecting to paint front 4 panels) and now that I am keeping it no need for paint as it will continue its life

Not a colour I'd go for on mine, but looks pretty smart nevertheless! 
Edit: Are you planning to remount the front plate, or do you drive with it like that?

Got to say it is the best car I have ever driven, I drove the McLaren MP4, Ferrari 458, and the GTR on a track last year and the GTR in my option blew the rest away, outrageous acceleration and cornering... my piggy bank is filling up to buy one.. one day...
