I ran a few GTRs many moons ago and tried an R35 for a week and personally, I far prefer the R34, which would be a better investment too.

I hear service costs are silly expensive. Second had they are difficult to buy because they have mainly been trashed mercilessly |

I had a few GT-Rs too, but the R35 is on another planet in terms of ability. I ordered one when they first came out (nice free helmet) and foolishly cancelled - would have been a seriously cheap car given what they're still worth.
Brakes and tyres will add up, but service costs aren't so bad (schedule changed to 12m/9k in 2011). I'd probably stay away from dealers. They seem fairly unbreakable but I'd apply the usual caveat of not buying anything that's been near Bradford or Luton. |

It sounds like a car you need to play with for a few days/weeks (i.e. a rental first) before making up your mind. As for the service cost, if you can get parts for a reasonable price (as we do with Duckworths etc.) then you can always find someone to do the work.

this is my mates GTR, http://jm-imports.co.uk/index.php/demo-car/ I think he was the first in the UK to blow one up, nissan gave him 10k towards engine rebuild and he has spent ridiculous amounts of money on this car. Although it is his demo car for his company he has not removed any of the standard equipment, so still has sat nav, leather seats, air con etc and us uses it as a family car. There are plenty videos on youtube....its ridiculous |

So....made the first step towards getting one of these beasts (a GT-R that is) as I had a 24 hour test drive in one at the weekend.

I once chased one in a 400 bhp BMW M5, redlined it through the gears. The chap in the Datsun noticed, changed down, and he disappeared into the distance, like a lion playing with its food.
