These videos are great because they are not repeats of press releases, they are about the driving experience these cars give you and the feelings they give you. Keep up the great vids man.
@Carlos Lago, great series of videos. I came here from your 0-60 video. I have been a huge fan of the Motor Trend Videos (#moreroadkill) for quite a while as it seems you guys have a great time. Having owned 2 GT-R's 2009/2011, I can certainly say you hit the highpoints spot on. There were a couple small nitpicky things in the video but for the most part you conveyed the realities of the GT-R well. You are absolutely right that the people who pick up the NISMO's will have a very special car on their hands, but I am very excited to see what the R36 will bring. Thanks for the entertaining video.
Some Really spot on analysis. I like how you touched on noticing the progression of the platform in all your years of testing. After owning a 09 a 12 and now a NISMO, that stood out to me where I think that experiencing that gradual move up the GTR ladder has helped me like you appreciate just howspecial the NISMO is and really the current pinnacle of everything Nissan as put into the GTR
one thing is not mentioned in this video the chief engineer of the GTR mentions about effectiveness of GTR is that F1 cars with downforce plus their weight sums up 450kg load on each wheel which is the most effective load for cornering. That is the reason why they made it the way it is.
Good work explaining how the GTR does what it does. Its a pretty eerie feeling going hard around a turn and feeling the car's computer shift power around to different tires and pull you through.
Hey Carlos! Good video! Nice geek out about the GT-R. I bought my first one in 2008 and modded it over the course of 3 years! Just incredible. I now have a 2015 GT-R and its stock. I love it as is. There is such a purity about what the Nissan engineers have put into this supercar. When you can grab a GT-R brochure. lots of cool info. i.e . -two years of rolling-road wind tunnel testing at Group Lotus - once engine is built by takumi, it spends an hour bench testing including running at redline for 10 minutes straight. -transmission gear changes of .15 seconds. -53/47 static distribution. 50/50 weight distribution under acceleration -Each GT-R receives a thorough 9-lap break-in run at Tochigi test track before delivery. So much envision, engineering and execution for about $100k :)
Great review, the GTR is a competitor for Turbo 911 and GT3 911 in same car. No pressure. The Turbo S and GTR got similar stuff. The GTR got an aggressive computer which update vehicle movement 1500+times per second and the yaw settings are far more limited. The ET-S AWD works similar to Audi's, Honda's, Porsche's but GTR's ET-S is a RWD bias system, it send 100% to the rear and 50% when needed. Unlike Porsche PTA, Porsche's AWD can send 100% rear as well but 60:40 as standard which means the car may push a bit. The down side of GTR is damping. Porsche got the PDCC for limited roll during turn, like less than 0.5 degree vs GTR over 1.5 degree. But still, Turbo S damping is too soft, the car will pitch at a high angle during heavy braking and hard acceleration. It's good for a straight line dig start and straight line braking but during turn out acceleration, the front is too light, with 40% of 560hp, the car will push, during heavy braking at turn in, the rear will step out but not as extreme as pitching the front due to rear mounted engine. The only down side of GTR is weight, the weight push the car over, when the car roll, the inside wheel lost grip, the car will understeer and push but thanks to the aggressive AWD and Yaw sensor keep transferring from understeer>push>understeer>push by sending power to front rear, front rear. The stability keeps balancing the car and traction control stopping it from spinning. The 991 is good but beat the older GTR by less roll and more power. Fun fact is, GTR is actually quicker from 80kph to 160. Around 1 second.
Great Troll Racer They are actually competitor. The Nismo is more in between GT and sportscar, GT3 is bias toward sportscar and Turbo S bias towards GT car.
LAUNCH CONTROL 東瀛戰神 The Nismo, yes, much more comparable. But not the standard GTR. The GT3 is a NA RWD, and the Nismo is a turbo AWD. They appeal different kind of customers.
Great video Carlos, probably your best geek out yet, there's alot of tech going on in the GTR and you did an expert job of dissecting it. I would love a video on the Lexus LFA, another Japanese supercar with a very different approach to performance.
Loved this one! About the long code names, you have to expect the AWD system to be called after the title of a "research white paper" (ATESSA-ETS ...et.al) in an engineering masterpiece the "DBA-R35" is, that's part of the "GT-R" feeling! I also agree on the easy to drive part. Been reading some vehicle dynamics books, and in a book by the founder of JRZ suspensions he clearly -and mathematically- explains how a "critically damped" car should be faster around the track, more composed and even more comfortable than an overdamped (stiff, hairy, twitchy) or under damped (boat, old Cadillac) setups. So way to go on mentioning that point in a positive way.
I have been intently following your coverage of the Nissan GT-R Carlos...and you are doing a splendid job of covering it and all it's complexities . I too have learned much about this car...mostly from my own research...and i know of variants of the GT-R that many do not even know exist...for instance models that are not imported to the US market...they are interesting to say the least...and they also have some really awesome trim levels . I look forward to your continued coverage of this Revolutionary Super Car .
I never really cared about the R35 GTR but after watching this I respect the R35 for its complexity and out of the box engineering! Thanks for highly Indef talk about this beast, Carlos your the best always thinking differently about things and always giving your honest opinion and feelings about cars! Not your like your typical this is good and this bad without giving much reason and detail to back that up. Keep up the good work!
I just want to say that I enjoyed this very much well said and the layout was brilliant I always like listening to you alot the Gtr well it's a car that it does what it does it will be a car to remember for decades to come you say it how it is and that's what I like I find you very interesting to listen to so keep up the good work and don't pay any mine to what some people may think of this video it is very very interesting and useful information about things I did not know about the car from inside out thanks Carlos and respect to you I am from England but who cares peace out there
rcalcaide jalopnik.com/5467038/the-ford-engine-technology-good-enough-for-the-nissan-gt-r Developed and patented by Ford even if the GT-R used it first.
gracilismBMW has been using a very similar technology on since the E46 in order to prevent sulfur heavy gas from eating away at the liners. This is old technology re-branded by Ford...much like their amazing new "cylinder oil squirters" that have been in Japanese cars since the 80's.
I'm so glad you mentioned the "cheats physics" line. I was getting so tired of hearing that nonsense every time the car was reviewed. Larlos Cago cutting through the bs like a champ.
Carlos, would you happily drive a DBA GT-R daily if you had the chance or would you personally prefer another car? Has to be under 100k new or used. Thanks!
Another front engine, rear transaxle car with 4wd is the Ferrari FF. The Ferrari FF has four wheel drive with a transaxle gearbox as well but with 2 gearboxes instead of 2 drive-shafts. In the FF there is a 7speed dual clutch gearbox mounted on the rear axle and a 2speed mounted in front of the engine which provides a part time 4wd up to fourth gear.
Thanks for the video man! Im a huge gtr fan...i think they're awesome machines. Btw u guys never had problems with the early gtrs transmissions? I know they had problems with them failing after using launch control a few times
Oh ok...I think the 08-09s were the ones with the tranny problems though...the 2010 cars had upgraded software for the transmission to help it stop messing up from what I can remember
You are probably right. If I remember well, the software did not prevent abuse on the car. Lots of warranty problems, especially in america because of drag racing.
I hate when people say its a "daily driver". I've seen every possible car on the internet and people have called them "daily drivers". Can we stop with that term?
So, here is some numbers for the brakes and tires longevity ... 3 GTRs since 2009. Around 25000 miles with strong daily driving, disk need to change at around 50000miles. The tires from factory last around 15000 miles ... with Michelin super sport, you can go up to 35 000 miles.
Do you think you have enough information to do a video on the new Regera? Or any Koenigsegg for that matter, the engineering that goes into those cars is completely unique and I think it would be a really interesting video. Keep it up these are really good!
Hi Carlos, I was wondering if in the future you could maybe do a 'let's geek out' for the Mustang and how they've improved the live axle over the years despite how dated people say it is. Or maybe the Camaro Z28 and how it was able to beat the well revered 911 from the Best Drivers episodes? Cheers!
Sorry Carlos, but I totally disagree with you on brakes (non-nismo model). Stock ones are not good at all. All serious hard-trackers complain about it and replace them. -Rotors : holes are drilled after the rotor has been "forged". This process weakens them and they crack faster. I replaced my front ones after 2 month... -Pads : they doesn't support the heat. Stock one are street pads. I never could have a decent pace with those. -Cooling : 1750kg and no air duct or deflector, there is absolutely no cooling system. And as you said, only few space available on the front axle. All these problems make the GTR not suitable to heavy track duty. Once replaced, you can push the car, but you will still need cooling to hold more than one lap on GP track. My statement is valid for model prior to 2014, but I'm pretty sure it's the same for late models. The track edition features some deflectors, but I'm not convinced that it's enough.
Great Troll Racer Thanks for the info. Haven't noticed this kind of wear myself, even on the two long-term GT-R test cars we've had, but the input is appreciated
You're welcome! Quite fair to share and talk about it! Still I'm surprised that you have no overheating problems, especially in america where T° can be much higher. Did you notice some transmission overheating ( > 130°C)? It seems to be a much more common problem, but it's way more manageable than brakes.
impala340 We always test both. With exceptions, manuals tend to be more fun to drive though a lot of newer autos and auto-only cars are proving just as satisfying
Nice video. I do respect the gtr for forcing the big name supercar/sportscar companies like Ferrari and Porsche to get off their couches and start improving their cars drastically. Yea the new 991 911 turbo S can beat a gtr in a drag and around a track . . . But that's only because the gtr forced it to. Porsche has serious competition from Nissan which keeps it on its toes. Especially from that nismo. Same goes for Ferrari and even Lamborghini. They couldn't have their precious cars get embarrassed on RUclips by a pesky Nissan so they had to step up their game. Tho I can't exactly ignore the fact that it's bargain supercar status doesn't really belong to it anymore. Probably goes to the z06.
Hey Carlos, I'm confused on why measuring the cars lateral g's is important? I hear the term a lot but I'm not really sure what it is or how it's measured.
Broadly speaking, recording an average max lateral acceleration tells you how "hard" a car can corner before losing grip. The resulting unit is an average g-force (like 0.97 g avg), and for reference, if you jump out of a plane, you fall to the earth at 1.0 g. We record lateral acceleration by running a car around a 200 ft diameter skidpad, and pulling an average g-force from a set window of time.
AshtonColeman I think it was NOS branded stuff. Easy to make fun of, but it worked. Car pulled boost on 91 octane, but didn't with a bottle of that stuff in the tank.
+AshtonColeman Yep, it's the NOS stuff. It's pretty much putting concentrated race gas in your tank. I poured a bottle of that NOS Octane Booster in half a tank in my C5 Z06 just last track day at Harris Hill and definitely felt more power getting out of the turns. Was getting loose easier even though my suspension is dialed in for that track.
+Carlos Lago .. I can start car drive it for 10 min or start it for 10 min and it goes into limp ..do you think it's oil if it's oil hiw will I know ..and how to fix it if they have oil heating issue .. but after 10 min it goes down to low rpm ..if I shut off for 20 min can run it again ..may be it's oil heating because no one can figure out. .
I wouldn't call the sound a Ferrari makes beautiful. It's to high pitched, to whiny. It's the same with Lamborghini. Italians are magicians at taking the largest engine they can and making it sound like a jar of bees.
These videos are great because they are not repeats of press releases, they are about the driving experience these cars give you and the feelings they give you. Keep up the great vids man.
Love these longer eps. Kinda like a podcast I have running the background. :)
As a owner of the gtr this is a good insight video of explaining how the whole system works. Makes me love my car more. Thanks Carlos !

Great session, Carlos. As always. One tip, tho: Try reducing the noise-gate sensitivity, I found those sound cut-offs a bit unsettling...
Maciej Kisielewski Yeah, noticed that too after recording
GT-R, the legendary Monster from Japan. An AMAZING car to say the least.
Some Really spot on analysis. I like how you touched on noticing the progression of the platform in all your years of testing.

Glad you have your own channel to further elaborate things you can't fit in the regular videos. Not that you're at MT anymore. Keep up the great work!
Good work explaining how the GTR does what it does. Its a pretty eerie feeling going hard around a turn and feeling the car's computer shift power around to different tires and pull you through.

I'm not sure if we can say that the GT3 is a competitor to the GTR, they have different purpose and characteristic...
Great Troll Racer They are actually competitor. The Nismo is more in between GT and sportscar, GT3 is bias toward sportscar and Turbo S bias towards GT car.
LAUNCH CONTROL 東瀛戰神 The Nismo, yes, much more comparable. But not the standard GTR.
The GT3 is a NA RWD, and the Nismo is a turbo AWD. They appeal different kind of customers.
Great Troll Racer Turbo AWD doesn't mean they can't compare. Again, GT3 is more of a sportscar Turbo S is more of a fast GT car and GTR is in between.
So, explain me what makes the standard GTR standing between the GT3 and Turbo, instead of being the direct rival of the Turbo?
Great video Carlos, probably your best geek out yet, there's alot of tech going on in the GTR and you did an expert job of dissecting it. I would love a video on the Lexus LFA, another Japanese supercar with a very different approach to performance.

GTR: car of the year.
This video: video of the month.
Carlos Lago: Car person of the year.
I just want to say that I enjoyed this very much well said and the layout was brilliant I always like listening
to you alot the Gtr well it's a car that it does what it does it will be a car to remember for decades to come
you say it how it is and that's what I like I find you very interesting to listen to so keep up the good work
and don't pay any mine to what some people may think of this video it is very very interesting and useful information about things I did not know about the car from inside out thanks Carlos and respect to you
I am from England but who cares peace out there
I believe the Z06's engine is hand built too. GTR's are pretty amazing cars though. A lot of really nice cars are coming out. Good video!
Might not be a weekly thing, but it should be!
Also, nothing like changing your derp! at 6:02 for those who missed it lol
great detailed info! I would like to see a geek out of the upcoming Miata in the near future.
The cylinder coating is called flame spray (plasma transferred wire arc). Ford GT500 was the first production car to use it iirc.
gracilism You are correct
When did the GT500 strart using this? 2011? GT-R has been using this since 2008.
rcalcaide jalopnik.com/5467038/the-ford-engine-technology-good-enough-for-the-nissan-gt-r

Carlos, would you happily drive a DBA GT-R daily if you had the chance or would you personally prefer another car? Has to be under 100k new or used. Thanks!
Very informative video Carl. You should do a video about the 4C if you get the chance.
+Carlos Lago How am i just finding this channel now. This is amazing insight! Love it. I hope you continue to do these. Amazing
Dude, I havent seen you on Motor Trend anymore. I miss your ignition videos, they were really good.
2015 black edition base horsepower is 585 stock.
Wrong. They just have stickier tyres, stiffer suspension and fancier wheels
Another front engine, rear transaxle car with 4wd is the Ferrari FF.

Mr Largo , one word for these videos "AWEEEEEESOME !!!!!!"
Thanks for the video man! Im a huge gtr fan...i think they're awesome machines. Btw u guys never had problems with the early gtrs transmissions? I know they had problems with them failing after using launch control a few times
ivorton23 Nope. We had a 2010 model for a year that we subjected to tons of hard launches. We never experienced any problems
Oh ok...I think the 08-09s were the ones with the tranny problems though...the 2010 cars had upgraded software for the transmission to help it stop messing up from what I can remember
You are probably right. If I remember well, the software did not prevent abuse on the car.
Lots of warranty problems, especially in america because of drag racing.
Nice video, even if I'm not a GTR fan. Keep them coming. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt this car based on the G37/370Z platform?
I hate when people say its a "daily driver". I've seen every possible car on the internet and people have called them "daily drivers". Can we stop with that term?
Thanks for the awesome Video Carlos!

Totally geeked. Well done
You should do a live stream
Geek out on the EVO!
Awesome video! Pretty long so I never finished it.
I want one so bad but the insurance would kill me and so would the payments! Dx
Is that because of drive involvement or the GTR is boring to drive. But the GTR won track tests against the Z06 correct?
So if you had to chose between the Hell cat the Z06 or the GTR what would you pick???
+slyr1 Probably Z06
Mr. Lago I've always wanted to know in tests of speed why use a manual trans, when the auto is faster?
impala340 We always test both. With exceptions, manuals tend to be more fun to drive though a lot of newer autos and auto-only cars are proving just as satisfying
Nice video. I do respect the gtr for forcing the big name supercar/sportscar companies like Ferrari and Porsche to get off their couches and start improving their cars drastically. Yea the new 991 911 turbo S can beat a gtr in a drag and around a track . . . But that's only because the gtr forced it to. Porsche has serious competition from Nissan which keeps it on its toes. Especially from that nismo.
Same goes for Ferrari and even Lamborghini. They couldn't have their precious cars get embarrassed on RUclips by a pesky Nissan so they had to step up their game.
Tho I can't exactly ignore the fact that it's bargain supercar status doesn't really belong to it anymore. Probably goes to the z06.
Hey Carlos, I'm confused on why measuring the cars lateral g's is important? I hear the term a lot but I'm not really sure what it is or how it's measured.
Broadly speaking, recording an average max lateral acceleration tells you how "hard" a car can corner before losing grip. The resulting unit is an average g-force (like 0.97 g avg), and for reference, if you jump out of a plane, you fall to the earth at 1.0 g. We record lateral acceleration by running a car around a 200 ft diameter skidpad, and pulling an average g-force from a set window of time.
Carlos Lago Hey Carlos what car have you tested that produced the highest lateral G?
It can tell you how well the car stops, starts and turns. Like cars that have higher G figures usually are overall faster
MJS The Mitsubishi MIEV Pikes Peak race car. Averaged 1.34 g on our 200 ft skidpad. Had to remind myself to breathe while driving it
Acura TL has torque vectoring in the rear lol
Yayyyy can you do the new Regera???
If I ever get to drive one!
Haha that would be sick, or the cayman gt4 Carlos Lago
+Carlos Lago What octane booster did you put in this car?
AshtonColeman I think it was NOS branded stuff. Easy to make fun of, but it worked. Car pulled boost on 91 octane, but didn't with a bottle of that stuff in the tank.
Carlos Lago That's impressive. I'll give it a try myself.
+AshtonColeman Yep, it's the NOS stuff. It's pretty much putting concentrated race gas in your tank. I poured a bottle of that NOS Octane Booster in half a tank in my C5 Z06 just last track day at Harris Hill and definitely felt more power getting out of the turns. Was getting loose easier even though my suspension is dialed in for that track.
+Carlos Lago it won't harm the engine or anything right?
u guys tried out torco octane booster? how's that one?
can you guys make a video on a Nissan 350z limp mode you having too much problem with it
+goolgappa5 Limp mode? Only issue I've experienced is oil overheating in the 370Z
+Carlos Lago ..
I can start car drive it for 10 min or start it for 10 min and it goes into limp ..do you think it's oil if it's oil hiw will I know ..and how to fix it if they have oil heating issue ..
but after 10 min it goes down to low rpm ..if I shut off for 20 min can run it again ..may be it's oil heating because no one can figure out. .
+goolgappa5 ..
it's 2003 auto 350z I put 2004 engine ..
+goolgappa5 I have no idea how to help if it's an engine swap. Too many variables that need proper troubleshooting
+Carlos Lago ..
so any place in orlando do you know or take it to dealership
Larlos Cago
Even if it's the Ford F-150 or a Kia Elantra
what car does he drive?
A ls v8 powered 240sx
I wouldn't call the sound a Ferrari makes beautiful. It's to high pitched, to whiny. It's the same with Lamborghini. Italians are magicians at taking the largest engine they can and making it sound like a jar of bees.
pause at 1:35 and look carlos face :D :D
:)
It's called magic lol
if god had a car it would gtr nismo
ooooooooooooooooooh nooooooooooo (Joseph Joestar voice) carlos why are you so awesome
