Love your shows, didnt know how much of a following these cars have till I bought one. Would you post the TPMS units to Australia?, love to put them to use..with covid19 cant get any bits n pieces...
I can't fit my hand between the front seat and rear seat of my GTR. Not only does the rear passengers need to be tiny...so does the people in the front seats in order to allow any leg room for the rear.
If you guys ever wanna buy older GTRs like 2009+ it has stickers on the hood, fenders, rear trunk. That way you know that the car was never in an accident. As you can't Buy replacement stickers that came with the car. It has vin number on them. Love how people say older GT-Rs have issues, you buying used car. You never know what you getting yourself into. Knew a guy with 2017 that had plenty of issues like a lemon 😂
Good tip. I had an 09, drove it for 150,000 km. Transmission broke, 1 was tsb clip, then I had clutch b basket breaking. I also had water in lights, av unit died. Other than that it was solid. I have a 2017 now and zero issues so far. I am sure newer ones are more reliable because they ironed out issues every year. This is available pretty much for any car not just GT-R. First year model usually has issues.
@@teabaggins3517 yep. 09 had issues with LCD . When i got mine and I'm second owner. The original owner replaced under warranty. I think with 2011 unit , i have backup camera. First thing i did. I build the trans. It is stage 2 ams trans that's done by Shep.. again i paid 45k for my GT-R. Not 90k for 2017+ ;) and im 😊
@@StreetDrivenDaily when my basket B broke I shipped a trans from Jacks to Japan where I live because building a trans here is more like 30,000 $. Jacks was just 10,000$... The clutch baskets though, I think 2017 are same as 2009 so probably mine will blow up at some point. The Jacks trans was starting to act up after 40,000km so I decided to just sell and buy another one. Incredibly sold it for almost same price I paid for it.. So overall the only cost in 7 years of ownership was the maintenance. I was FBO for 100,000km and engine had zero issues. Reliable car
Dabbling with buying one of these or a 2020 a90 supra. Coming from a E92 M3 so weighing up performance, gripes, road presence etc. Convince me please! This vid has reassured me a lot
Paid 41k for mine. Not long ago. From private owner. Yeah it has 69k miles now. I'm second owner. No accidents. It's a 09. Car was never modified. Left me crap ton of room to mod it , first thing i did new rotors and pads plus stage 2 trans that can hold 800hp. Slapped rohana wheels on it and just enjoying it before I go crazy 😂
Feel stupid asking this.. but the lock to lock maneuver.. what exactly is this? Can you explain more.. Is that hard acceleration while making manuevers with steering wheel. How would you do this on a test drive.. not exactly on a track? confused. What's the concern with wheelhop from front and not rear? Is this because transmission should be using rear wheels.. and not front.. and only use front when rear is slipping?
No stupid questions here! The r35 front diff is completely open and should allow completely independent wheel rotation so excess wheel hop from the front suggests something isn’t right. No need to acceleration heavily, just slow speed manoeuvring will show any problems.
@@ScottishCarClan Yeah.. one more stupid questions.. Does this wheel hop indicate an issue with the front differential, or the transmission? Thanks so much !!
These are all gone sadly Kofi. We’ve had good success with the “T-Pro” TPMS sensors though, the Nissan ones are very expensive. They don’t pay us to say that, we just know they work good.
Hi Sam, not at all! That would be a great upgrade. Just be ready for bills for maintenance and repair to increase fairly dramatically. So long as you budget this in you'll love it!
When we published this video yes! 30k would buy one. In fact I bought one myself for 32k a few years ago. Now however your looking at 40+ minimum for an early one.
Hey! Don't be put off, the GTR is a very reliable car for what it is. The truth is if we cover any car in this much detail there will always be inherent issues. I don't make these buyers guides to scare you off, just to inform and let you make sure you buy a good one !
Had 2017 Gtr for a short time & I hated it tbh. Noisy very unrefined suspension , horrible clunky 6 speed gearbox , cheap economy materials used especially in the very now dated interior. IMO these are so over rated , over hyped & was a massive disappointment !
Thanks for the comment David. That's really interesting as most who have owned one love them! The way I view it because you're getting such good 'bang for buck' in performance terms its a little easier to overlook the cheaper materials etc. Was it an early GT-R you had or a later 2017 onward one?
@@ScottishCarClan it was a facelift 2017 deep blue Pearl recaro model. Very out dated now compared to the latest competition . Plus it’s hardly a bargain considering there now costing over 80k .
Thanks for watching! As mentioned in the video - If you need any TPMS units let me know and I'll happily send them to you for free. Happy GTR'ing!
Love your shows, didnt know how much of a following these cars have till I bought one.
Would you post the TPMS units to Australia?, love to put them to use..with covid19 cant get any bits n pieces...
Hi there! are the TPMS still available? i genuinely have been looking to get some as 2 of mine are playing up 😩
My dream car, driven a couple of them and love them. Great buying guide and full of great information.
Thanks for the comment. You can keep the guide handy for when the day comes to buy yours!
Love these vids, learnt loads about r8's, gtr's and corvettes. Plus general buying advice. Keep up the awesome content ☺️
Thanks Bradley, I really appreciate your comment and we will certainly keep going so long as people keep watching!
Literally the dream spec gtr.
Always wanted a Skyline, but the R35 is becoming a better option, with the price of Skyline GT-R's getting ridiculous.
Love the subtle parallel between a driveway mounted lay-z-spa next to the wheelie bin.
That colour omg 😍
Best colour on it
Great advice and great quality video. Very professional. Especially the gearbox advice. Congratulations.
Lovely colour! Lovely Review!
The negotiation on GTRs R35 are more like “take it or leave it” cause those are going sky high
Forgot to mention the ticking noise from the front wheel/brakes usually missing the one clip
Great tip Stu! I did miss that one.
Which clip are we talking about here ?
@@weijia1659 the safety clip on the pads nissan usually only put one on where it's ment to have 2
I can't fit my hand between the front seat and rear seat of my GTR. Not only does the rear passengers need to be tiny...so does the people in the front seats in order to allow any leg room for the rear.
Great over view . Enjoyed watching . Thank you
Thats the best buyers guide on here, Fantastic.
Glad you think so!
That R35 looks so clean ❤
It was brand new 😁

Excellent guide, thanks mate. Will use in my GTR hunt
What a car bro. I’d like this in the same colour. 😍😍😍
Great videos! Lots of care and fun while your doing your videos! Here from 🇺🇸
Great review, my front speaker was basically rotten so needs replacing, looks like it gets damp. Thx
Great video lad👌

Awesome, thank you!
Only 30k (yes I know hes not talkint usd) back then is wild. I cant even find many (repairable) crashed auction gtrs in the US for that cheap
epic video, thanks brother!
Perfect image is your home, fence and the car.
Love an underdog. Although that’s not really the case 😂🥰
Excellent review mate. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind comment!
Great review as always. Subbed.
How about a 2012 GT-R im getting a used one and I’m scared that maybe that year doesn’t have a good history
No reason to avoid a 2012! It’s got all of the gearbox revisions that the 09/10 were missing. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
I had a 2012 since new, no issues apart from front speakers rotten.
Equivalent to 41k USD yeah there's absolutely no R35's for under 55k unless it's salvaged and 10 owners
That’s crazy! Prices are obviously that little bit higher on these in the US than the UK. Thanks for commenting

10:24 - 👀 My BMW makes a noise like that
Heres some advice Make sure the car has a engine in so lift the bonnet ,, it should be under there ,, god this guy is so bright !!!
This did make me chuckle... fair play :) Thanks for watching
@@ScottishCarClan Thought you would like that
So, what does the blue smoke coming out of the exhaust signify?
It's tricky to capture on camera but it was just clear steam as the exhaust condensation burnt off. Blue smoke would be bad news!
Can someone explain what’s the front wheel hop? Didn’t understand what he means
Hey! It’s where you can feel the wheels skip on the surface
Hey Do you have an extra TPS competente for the tire pressure light?
It would be super awesome if you did, I have a light on in my GTR
These are all gone sadly Kofi. We’ve had good success with the “T-Pro” TPMS sensors though, the Nissan ones are very expensive. They don’t pay us to say that, we just know they work good.
Why you speal nassan instead of nissan?
looking to upgrade from a 370z would one of these be too much of a jump?
Hi Sam, not at all! That would be a great upgrade. Just be ready for bills for maintenance and repair to increase fairly dramatically. So long as you budget this in you'll love it!
Cheers could grab an 09 rn but wanting to wait and get a couple years newer and max three owners
What is your opinion on the COBB/AP tuning box/chip? Im looking to buy a 2010 gtr and there is innstalled a AccessPort tuning box on it.
Did I hear that right, you can pick up a gtr for 30k British pound? The cheapest in Australia is like 100k AUD
30k (uk GBP) would be an older CBA model and very high mileage! Current EBA more like £80k!
what is cba eba?
@@RJ-se9op Different models of R35GTR - The CBA's are the earlier cars
is this the track edition?
In Terms Of The Four Names Of The Engine Builders, Does This Change Each Or Is It The Same For A Certain Period Of Time?

Very Very nice colour!
Where you finding a GTR for $30k
Got it. Check everything!
Twice!
30k??? These cost like double in countries like Germany and Austria.... wtf

so cool 👍🏻😍 speed car
I hear a common quirk is wallet evaporation syndrome
Peter, we're still trying to find a fix for this fault. Not having much luck though! :-)
driving 33000km just to get to work and back in a year.... not payable when I have to change oil every 6000km for nearly a 1000€
always wanted one of these but the 6 speed is a heavy argument to why im more interest in the American C8 Corvette or Hellcats
I can understand that. All I would say is the double clutch trans in the GTR is a very good fit! It matches the car very well.
This guy is so cool !!! lol
Why thank you ;-)
Nice x
30,000 pounds for a GTR is crazy :((
All these problems are making it not worth it to get a gtr35

Agreed, for a car that cost between $90,000 to $120,000, all these problems, nice car on paper.
Wtf is a wheel hop
1:15 Pictures what to look for would be useful. :)
I will try to add one soon! Thanks for your comment.
