The R8 is much prettier than the R however pics just don't do the Datsun justice. I recall the launch night so clearly, the first time I laid eyes on one. Although I had many warnings from buddies over east "it is nothing like the pics" and "photos don't do it justice" I was still not prepared for what I was about to see, I was gob smacked, in some ways I felt a little emotional about it. That night, I also had my very first drive but that's another story. Jap cars are ideal for people who can't afford European cars, J I didn't have a choice in the matter for two reasons. 1. I have a GTR fetish and 2. ANY euro equivalent is way way and then, way out of my budget, and I can assure you I didn't want to spend so much on a car however the GTR is the bargain of the decade, I am in WA and we get hammered with extra stamp duty here making a GTR cost $185. What a bargain! Now that I have got to know the new R like the old R I have to say it is worth every cent and then some, in fact if it was 100k more it would still be awesome value! (not that I would have been able to save that many pennies) Consider the other cars in that performance category, they are very few and typically will cost half a million bucks in the west. It is a bonus that the 35 is quicker than most things (now I just have to learn to drive a very different car) And this question: "suddenly a year later saying you can afford exotic supercars i gotta ask your secret??" There are many possibilities, lotto, family coin (including marriage) sale of other assets, investments that went well, an inheritance or maybe a new career as a bank robber and that would make it a tax deductable business expense right? (and the LC Tax…) For me it is about how hard (and smart – not very) prepared to work – that will control what results are achieved. After waiting 9 years to full fill my R dream, It was in 2000 when I got my first, I would have been mid 20's, admittedly a seven year old used car is not a patch on the new one but a 28 y.o. could do a 35, however not via finance, I just looked up the repayments on the Nissan web site eg: $185K @ 7% with no deposit or residual will commit you to $4326.45 per month for 4 years BTW I think people offering advice on any car need to declare their level of experience with said model, I am convinced some authors have not driven the R35 enough to really get to know it, do they even own one? In fact they seem like they have not even had a ride in one. Those posts really stand out! Seriously if you are passionate about GTRs and haven't had a chance to check out a 35 let me know…. NO YOU CANT DRIVE IT

I have statistics to disprove this....

I have had a Viper in my GTR for almost 10 years now... Damm battery in remote requires changing every few years... They are awesome!!! Perfect installation is very very important, pay extra for a perfect job.

WA $10k at northside nissan and $15k at magic nissan

Yep it could be wild, just as well we are driving the car not the price. When asked: "how much is a GTR" I respond, the car is cheap "do they chew the juice" The fuel is free, running it is the only sizable expense.
