Well I often see many people in threads asking how much a GTR costs to run, or even how much more a GTR costs to run over a typical GTS-t so after recently purchasing my first R32 GTR (came from an R33 GTS-t) I thought it would be a good idea to list my own costs (right from the beginning) involved in owning such a car for future reference. Feel free to list expenses for your own GTR for comparison.
