After driving in R mode, the car behaves much more as expected. Far more responsive. Standard mode is a bit lethargic but probably a smart decision for the average daily driving.
I own a Silver 2011 GTR (currently makes 950 WHP, and a 1992 White Nissan Skyline GTR (R32) that makes about 680 WHP. The R35 and my R32 puts a pure smile on my face because these cars are straight up for performance. I also own a Model Y and people think that EV performance is insane, try driving a 950 WHP GTR that starts to make full boost at 3500 RPM all the way to 7500 RPM, so the power curve is INSANE!! I'm one of those people who think that the GTR is still perfectly fine, this car isn't meant for your average joe who wants all this fancy technology, it's more geared towards hardcore drivers who want max performance.

Congrats on living your dream and seeing it happen live. Must be great looking out the window and seeing it looking incredible. Awesome video. What a car?! Amazing.
the r35 is old, but it still has a lot of presence in person. The bayside blue is a gorgeous color too. Also damn, you live near craftsports? they are a cool dealer thats from japan. for a while, they sponsored a nissan gt500 racecar in supergt as well.
Old does not mean bad. It still offers amazing performance, still looks great, and has unlimited tuning potential. People have beat Bugattis on this things.
PlayStation graphics went crazy. What on earth happened to Nissan? They must have lost a lot money sometime after 2009. CVT-unreliability mania got them good, now they’re too broke to make the R36…
Kirk, it's the Gen Xers born in the early to late 70s and early 80s who created the whole JDM scene back in mid 90s and early 00s so saying it's mainly Millennials who desire and lust over JDM finest is incorrect. Fast & Furious only made it mainstream. JDM had a huge following way before that.
@@salimrandall No Lexus LFA comes close to any modern GTR. Not the Premium, T-Spec, Track edition let alone the Nismo. And no one said GTRs built quality is better than Lexus, I said it is superb, which is true.
My 18 yr old son used to joy ride mine when I was away out he admitted to me recently. I’m glad he did not kill Himself 😆😆That trunk port for subwoofer inside
If only it had that driver feel and feedback . I had 2008 for 7 years and cloth seats more comfortable that later 2015 I had for 2 years It’s beautifully styles and I really noticed it when hand washing 😆 Super reliable and takes off like rocket
I’m convinced Nissan has become so broke from low sales of their normal cars that it’s the reason why they haven’t made an R36 yet and why the new Z isn’t so great. They can’t afford good R&D for now. They’ve lost a lot of money. Hopefully the next Murano (which there are spy shots of) ditches the JATCO CVT. And that the new QX80 and Armada are genuinely good offers. They’re making a tiny bit of a comeback with the new Pathfinder ditching the CVT, so they still have a chance if they keep going like that.
its because of EV's. nissan doesn't really know what to do with a next gen gtr. hybrid? Electric? its a weird period in the car space right now where the technology cost/benefit is hard. meanwhile they have to focus on electrifying their main lineup.
Ah, drive comes later. More to look forward to (I don´t watch the videos in one go). My fathers schoolmate had a GT-R and later he bought the Nismo. Drove in it as a passenger two times. Really enjoyed it! It´s already a big achievement to get the car in Germany (now it´s discontinued)!! We never get such cars here. Only the German or European ones. 😴 And don´t forget that the round headlights were always with the (Skyline) GT-R.
I'd import a used 2024 from Japan and daily it. A T-Spec In the millennium jade with green interior. We stopped selling them in AU a few years back. Something about not meeting side impact standards.
9:00 Lol I won't disregard how the Skyline got the name god zilla, but Nissan disrespected us by giving us an automatic only version. Where is the 3rd pedal for driver engagement? Which driver is trying to set record times doing their daily commute where this car is mostly going to be used.
I wish the Supra, were the same size as the R35. I would definitely reconsider buying one. It would be excellent if they redesigned it with a lift back / glass top roof ( similar like Scion TC) and offered a rear wiper . New all around design, power up engine, add a newer modern up to year " infor entrainment radio" ...
Also you’re right it does have super hicas (all wheel steer). I’m not sure you’d feel super hicas in a modern gtr. It’s electronic, and I don’t think it activates at low speed. OG hicas from r32’s was permanently active due to hydraulics.
Oh man!😍😘I don’t care if this thing is a dinosaur because it still drives circles around most modern sports cars. Nissan did the right thing keeping their heart and soul in production. Love this machine.❤️🇯🇵
Absolutely!! It is what it is, and has a permanent seat at the table of Legends. Should the day come when electric & hydrogen vehicles drive You around, its values will rocket. Can you imagine a generation that is born to never drive?
Wrong the steering wheel does have both up/down and in/out. Ask me how I know... Zero rebates. $10-50k ADM depending on edition. Fifteen years later, and it's still over MSRP.
Funny, how Ppl jus Dog the GT-R. Calling it so Old when Nissan has been making updates every couple years like everybody else. Why mess with success. Since the 60's the GT-R Never lost a race and it beat by a long shot. When it first came to the States it was already a 2sec car and Still is.. Idk what Ppl want in a car anymore. It's gotta be a computer overload, below $50k with 900hp & 1000lbs TQ, 0-60 2.0s.. As much as i drove the GT-R i will still pick it over a 911, Vette & everything above it. And the 911 is jus as Old as the GT-R. It's jus a bunch of window dressing on top of Shiny parts. lol..
No, the Hellcat is & has been since 2015. Less money, more power, nuff said. The original Skyline was an affordable car & even when THIS GTR first came out in the U.S. it was only about a $70,000 car, then for some unexplained reason, a couple years later, it went for over $100,000, so no, it doesn't compare to a Hellcat.
R35 is still very relevant and defined the gold standard for a supercar when it came out. People still talk about it and lust after these like no tomorrow. What do you mean?
@KasVTK R34 is straight up trash!! Tell me what records it currently holds? Only reason why people love the R34 is because it's used in movies, video games etc. Heck a R32 GTR is more popular in the racing world then the R34. Currently an R32 holds the fastest skyline in the world. Go google JUN II' Nissan Skyline R32 GTR 1/4 ET: 6.37 @ 224mph. There is no R34 in the world that has come close to this R32 GTR record. Also, a R35's will smoke an R34 also.

I’m a Nissan/Infiniti guy but Lexus holds the crown when it comes to build quality and craftsmanship. No comparison. Ex. the LC500.
This is similar to LC build quality. Maybe a bit better actually. LC has better materials though and a better exhaust note.
No lexus comes close to a GTR in performance, and GTRs built quality is superb.
@@jz7551 The Lexus LFA doesn’t come close to GTR performance? Nissan quality is more superb to Lexus quality? We’ll have to agree to disagree.

If you are going to evaluate it in this way, you should bring the improved 24MY, which is reminiscent of the front grill of the 34 Skyline.

the steering wheel does move towards you, you have to release the other lever next to the tilt lever.

The tips are called “burnt titanium.” Anodized is a good guess though.

damn Nissan put a new powertrain and a new interior design in the Car and you can sell this easy 6 - 8 years more.
Great car to go in long family vacation
I can see that Nissan is trying so hard to keep GTR alive although it’s not as competitive as when it’s new.
What a lucky guy you are!

I want one, but I can't imagine the maintenance costs and insurance.
I still would take a 1998 Black on Black, 6 speed Toyota Supra over this!
The Supra is a much better purchase decision than the GTR for sure. For what the GTR is, the price is way too high.
One wild, hairy and exciting machine.
Exhaust tip and smells good dont always go together.😊 But in a GTR they do!!
THAT is actually funny!
it is still compelling but the price is not where it'supposed to be. Way more expensive than it should.
