Should be more than that...
My MY10 Litchfield Stage1 on EcuTek V5 made 612bhp, but settled on 602bhp due to injector duty cycle.

 

Yea that's just the baseline figure i guess for "stage 4" and depends on the MY.

 

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

 

The new EcuTek software is brilliant!!! I cant believe the improvements they make on the revisions and its all so noticable to us (the drivers)

 

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

 

On the 2011 I been told it would cost between 350 - 1100 plut vat from one place.
place.

Is the fuel similar or slightly worse than a Scooby.

 

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 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 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.

 

set of AP discs and decent set of pads fitted is about 3k

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

 

Getting mine back next weekend with its new look for 2017, can't wait! Been nice skidding around in the M3 for the last couple of months but I've missed being blown by twins and all the torque!

 

3k all round and normally only need to replace front discs and pads.

I have had mine 5.5 years and no real issues.

Looking forward to the pics! Who is doing this for you?

 

It's over with Robbie, can't wait he just sent through some teaser pics

 

oh nice!

 

GTR finally went in for a detail... Christian (at Invisible Touch Detailing) has done a fantastic job, as you can no doubt tell from the photos below.

Arrived dirty:-





Progress:-



















Finished

 

Wow what a difference looks a different car graham

 

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

 

The front of mine has a clear wrap not sure who it was done by has it was already on the car but it has protected the paint work well 37k miles and no stone chips
My 1st GTR was black and looked like the front had been sand blasted lol

 

Looks fantastic, Graham.

 

GTRs in Wales

Couple of us decided to have a get together in Wales for the weekend, had an awesome drive out on Saturday

 

Got mine back today, just need to remount forged wheels with R888 then maybe BBK and suspension and sorted for summer.

 

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?

 

Thanks, been purple for 5 years so change up and switch to satin plus carbon

ran it couple of years with this plate "setup" no issues, will stick one on sun visor so can flip it down if situation requires

 

the GTR is a beautiful car. Got to go for a ride in one. Awesome pics!

 

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...

 

Looks bloody awesome that mate epic car

 

First track day of the year is booked for Friday down at Thruxton one of my favourite circuits! Cant wait....

 

Beast is back with new turbos and finally remounted the forged wheels and R888 ready for summer
