I have a 2018 GTR and have owned it for nearly 3 years, really love it, great in every way apart from the battery. Had the same problems as you, replaced the battery (with high quality one) but if I don't drive it for more than two weeks in the winter it's flat. Have no way of trickle charging so bought a solar powered charger from the AA (£25) that connects to the ODP port, problem solved. Recommend you get one.

I looked at the Yellow tops but they were quite a bit smaller than the standard ones, I think in post MY17 Nissan fitted 52ah batteries and the yellow tops are only 38ah?

[@peterbowsher1257]

@@CB-rr9fe I've had the Optima on my 2018 for nearly two years and as long as it's charged it fires up really well. This is the correct battery for the GTR as confirmed by AutoTorque who supplied and fitted it. Going by the forum GTR.co.uk GTR's are renowned for battery "parasitic drain" problems and trickle charging is the only option. That is why I am going to fit the battery tracker so at least I know that the battery is getting low before it is too low to start. The only other option is to buy a very expensive lithium ion battery which I know work very well on other supercars from others that have them.

The battery thing is weird. I had a 2008 and now a 2017 and my battery lasted years. I drive it every weekend but sometimes I am overseas for a month and it still starts up well. If you wanna modify, just add a midpipe and you'll he happy. My 2008 was FBO and although it was fun it kinda ruined the drivability because turners won't spent hundreds of hours to fine tune it down low. Slap a midpipe on it for more sound and it's perfect.

I am sure , you are right about the 7th gear. I have a Qashqai J11 manual, which is a joke in power compared to the GTR, but I am missing the 7th gear also for better consumption and during driving I feel I need to switch gear but I realize it is already in 6th.

[@user-ov7wv6fd3d]

I feel like something to remember, especially power wise, is that this car is keeping up with cars that have engines that are literally 2x the size of it's own, if not more. I'd really like a manual option, but at 600hp, do you really need, or actually want a manual?

[@juliennacer8871]

what does horsepower have to do with wanting a manual or not?

[@user-ov7wv6fd3d]

@@juliennacer8871 it's not exactly comfortable or practical to have a genuine standard transmission at those numbers. To make it comfortable and drivable in manual it would need pretty long gears, and at that point the performance of the car would suffer by making it slightly more fun to drive.

[@juliennacer8871]

@@user-ov7wv6fd3d well I always considered manual transmissions to be a sacrifice in performance for more engagement

[@user-ov7wv6fd3d]

@@juliennacer8871 for modern cars, definitely. You don't really but a car like this for engagement so much as 'I'M FAST AS FVCK' factor.

Hey Paul, I know you may be biased, but M4 comp or GTR?

[@kratorz1]

Does any of the newer GTRs come with a clutch and six speed manual transmission? I just find the paddle shifting lame...

[@pauldyer4643]

Iv a Gtr,1000 hp,crazy cars. Not sure o mean about your battery though. Started mine up today with a recent battery and started straight away after 2 weeks. Trickle chargers are cheap too

[@simonmoore3546]

I’m looking at biting the bullet and buying a 2017 Recaro edition. Wanted a GTR since 2008, time to treat myself. Can you give any genuine feedback on running costs?

[@NicolasKeeton]

The battery dying is not related to the car unless you have a parasitic draw from something installed aftermarket. It's because lea acid batteries, lose voltage when it's cold outside. If you switch to LTO car battery, you won't have this issue.

[@truckerjay69]

Would be interesting to see you get a 2018 onwards gtr.. it's even better.less clunky gearbox apparently..it's 2 cars for me the new rs6 or a gtr

[@mitchyb249]

Bought the gtr around the same time I bought my camaro im 3 days away from six months ownership

[@dansimmons21]

This is simultaneously one of the most awesome yet chavvy cars ever made. Brrrrrap!

[@MOTORINGSA]

Big up for not tinkering its wicked enough in true stock form. Will sell fast if you let it go.

[@keyshawnfortenberry811]

2 years I will own this car and come back to this video

[@okamixp8416]

Good luck ❤
