2014 GTRs and 2013 Nismo 370Z Have Arrived

We just received some new shipments

There's honestly only a few noticeable differences with the 2014 GTRs. The price seems to have gone up though! The black one is priced at $105K.

Our sales dept has turned down our GTR allocation again, they just don't sell around here especially as the price has went up.

Yeah what's even crazier is that these are out the door and shipped to another country within a week.

We've shipped to the Virgin Islands, Hong Kong, Brazil and Saudi Arabia.

nice cars still. I'm not sure how much money the dealers actually make off these though as there's not a lot of markup sadly (as someone expressed, then yen has been killing the prices of these cars)

Vice86: What did they do to the motor for this year? I know power hasn't gone up, but they improved "responsiveness." The press releases are kind of vague about what was done exactly.

I love everything about the 2013-14's except for that led strip by itself...uggh.

I'm never going to be able to afford that model year anyway, but jeez it looks cheap.

Power is the same, but supposidly torque has increased. There are minor changes to the suspension.

The only things I've noticed are that there's now plaques with the names of the people who have hand built the engine. Also the black GTR with the "amber" (dark brown/mahogany) trim costs 5 grand extra.

All of the techs including myself instantly said, "that shit looks exactly the same."


These may be more expensive, but it's not stopping the kids that are under 25 y/o and paying in cash at our dealership lol.

Would still rather have Porsche.

I see the GTR as an "engineer's" car. Basically saying, it's incredible on paper, the math adds up and it executes very well what it's programmed to do.

And that is all...

It has no soul. I have a hard time loving something without a soul.
