This gtr r35 is the ultimate supercar ever produced capable of killing ferrari's, lambo's etc if correctly tuned & modified for a lot less money. It will be remembered as one of the greatest car's in automotive history just like it's predecessor the gtr r34 which has ultimately become a collector's item for car enthusiasts.
@@Blurris. The whole used car market is overpriced to the point that is better to buy new. However, on the GTR, "new" means $20-$40K mark up price for a total of around $160K for a car that's been virtually the same since 2008?!?! Yes, overpriced! The only ones salivating and praising Nissan are the bunch that haven't owned one and realize that it is just like any other car with very capable fast acceleration. But that is it. Now there are cars like the M4 beating it out of the box. The GTR interior is dated, the transmission noisy, room is tight, front clearance sucks, disk brakes crack, and all comes with the getho support of budget car manufacturer, Nissan. Bought mine in '16, a 2014 BE FBO/e85 for $75K and 9K miles. Now, it would cost $90K with 30K rough miles on it. Yeah, no thanks. I went ahead and dropped $103K on a fully loaded M4---> day and night change. I'll never looked back, I scratched that GTR itch, now I've moved on.
I love my 2017 R35, it's nearly stock and it's reliable but so brutal powerful in acceleration. The only thing I would love to have is a manual transmission as it's my first car without one the last 26 years. I'm pretty sure you can do better 0-100 time if you practice more! Great review just forgot to open the hood to see if they have made any changes in the engine dpt!
Tesla destroyed the gasoline performance car market. Not worth buying anything but a Tesla if you do all your performance driving on the streets as 99.9% of drivers do
Great review shame the fun police have jumped on it. Speaking of, would love to see a review of the Alpine A110S that too is a victim of the fun police. Be interesting to see how it compared to your A90
Modern cars are becoming ever more sanitised and overly assisted. I want from a car exactly what I wanted 20 years ago (with Android auto). I'd love one. Minor updates keep a very irrelevant car perfectly relevant.
Too much money 💰 for what you get!!! A Tesla Plaid or Cheverolet Corvette is probably a better value for your money even a 911 for close to the same amount of money. It will be difficult for Nissan to compete at this level but I am a very big Nissan fan and have owned many Nissans in the past and I have loved all of them. I currently own a 2021 Sentra SR and I absolutely love it for $27,000. I am waiting patiently for the new Z car and I will probably own one of those when it comes out. If anyone can get back on top it will be Nissan because they are good at putting money where it’s best spent and their design language and bulletproof engines are exceptional and last over time.
The advantage the GTR has is that it's powerful and fun enough to be competitive today, but also has that nostalgia attached to it because it's one of the last artifacts of the JDM glory days.
It's old, but it's a good type of old~ The fact that Nissan, and specifically Tamura-san, is dedicated to this vehicle shows that this is still good today~
Nothing JDM about the R35. It was a child of the Renault acquisition and it definitely wasn't exclusive to Japan. The actual JDM glory days were back when GTRs were still skylines and the S-chassis was in full swing.
Honestly, the entire exterior is so timeless today~ I even love the interior, even if it is dated. I'm just a simple guy, and the interior is very simple to use.
Myth: GT-R is now too old and couldn't keep up with it's rivals. Fact: there are serveral sides of performance measures in automotive industry. But lot of people measures it from straight line speed and track performance. In case of track performance, lot of car makers attempts records at Nürburgring to prove there capabilities. So GT-R's main rival of course the 911 Turbo S. Hope you can remember Porsche and Nissan fought for Nürburgring records back in the days. In case of the Turbo S, 992 is actually slower than the 991.2 (source - sport auto and Porsche also confirmed it). Lap times are 7:17.1 and 7:17.3 respectively. GT-R caught up the 7:18-7:19 mark already in 2012. After 2017 updates Nissan didn't tested it at the Nürburgring (because it'll reduce the value of the Nismo version). But from independent tests at other tracks, updated version was 0.5-1 seconds quicker. And now with carbon-ceramic brakes, lightweight wheels and etc. There's no way the Turbo S would keep up with it. so yeah, GT-R is technically faster than a 992 Turbo S around the Nürburgring. And also can keep with a Audi R8 in a straight line. I got little bit more respect for the GT-R than the Turbo S, because it's half of that Porsche's price.
With all due respect, who gives a damn? Unless you're a talented track demon these numbers are largely irrelevant. And owners of either car don't need hot laps to validate their purchase. For sure the GT-R presents one of the best price/performance ratio, but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter if all that power isn't in the right hands.
I'd choose this over any of its "competitors." Still looking delicions probably to the year 2032 too. Volume knob is still a great feature unlike new cars...
@@alexion7160 "fanboys" are fans because they love to argue hypotheticals. When you can't afford such cars, talking about it constantly is the best next thing, hey
I am biased! Having previously owned an R34 and now own a 2009 R35 model, I do love the look of the GTR. It is one tough looking road rocket ship and if you venture even into the "mild performance enhancements" (ecu tune, full titanium exhaust and air intakes) the performance of this car rapidly enters the "violent" category. Just awesome!!!
Absolutely love the analogue/raw nature of this car, without all the electronic nannies. It's the last of this type of car. will not ever see something like this ever again. And I love this color combination. If I could afford it, I would buy this in a heartbeat over anything else out there.
@@N4CR Raw...hearing the gearbox working, hearing the engine and tires - no artificial fake sounds like cars nowadays...if you don't like the GT-R, go watch other cars instead of bashing this car in the comments section
The GTR can soldier on for another 5 years or more if Nissan give it a better dual clutch box and update the interior. The engine is still a good performer and exterior styling is aging well.
@watnw Toyota's land cruiser 70 has been in production since 1984 and the 200 only just finished after being in production since 2007. Same as Mitsubishis CJ Lancer which is finally dead, also been built since 2007. A lot of people still buy them for their own reasons
I love how you had so much fun with this. I genuinely had a big smile on my face when you did the 0-100. I'd loooove to have a spin in one of these one day.
Just like the 911, the rear seat is perfect for a couple of sets of golf clubs. Is it sad that that is one of the first things I look for in sports cars? 😂
Epic car, been around so long it’s become on of the more analogue performance cars you can buy, this thing regardless of age is so much more special than almost all of todays offerings
The GT-R to me will always look amazing despite its age~ And also, that infotainment screen has actually gotten faster despite its age, when I saw that satellite navigation :O The GT-R will always be one of my favourite cars in the sports car world~ Very powerful for a car that still has that analogue and mechanical feel 15 years later. Thank you, Tamura-san for your dedication for the GT-R and Nissan~ In terms of saying that it's the best GT-R, I would say that the Nismo GT-R is the best, but any GT-R is really good :)
Australian (only) bubble. Still plentiful and legal in rest of world. Good luck medium to long term if you think this is a genuine investment - most who jump in anywhere over list will get burnt
Nissan has done extensive work on the transmission and they Tune and the Turbos. From what I am hearing its the best GTR to date that money can buy. I would like to get my hands on one but I rather buy the NSX first then the 911 the GTR would be just for Shits and giggles.
Understanding the concept of "high demand" on many things in life. But this thing.... after 20 years of reviews, reviews and reviews... a crow turns into a phoenix beats me forever.
It would be great if you could spec to remove the rear seats and have maybe a rubberized storage area, for actual practicality and weight trimming. The kids can follow in a bus :-) The same for the 911, really
This is almost like an old Topgear review at this point i.e. "A review of a car I probably couldnt even buy even if I had the money to afford it." Geeze prices have gone up since they first launched. They used to be the affordable super car but now I don't think I'll ever even get the opportunity to drive one. I'll probably never see a millenium jade on the road even because of the people "investing" in them. A car once made to be driven hard now bought to be parked.
Good golly, they are really milking the GT-R. By now, only blood is coming out from its ti*s. Get this out and revamp the bleeding dinosaur for god's sake. Being a huge Nissan fan, this is now becoming really embarrassing for Nissan itself. Its as though the guys in Nissan's HQ and its main manufacturing center have lost touch in reality.
I had an 08 JDM and now a 17 JDM with Orange interior. In Japan for the 14.5mil JPY I paid for it I could have bought some exotics but I can't find any other car that attracts me as much as the R35. Considering it's not designed following the trend of it's time but more of a design made by computers it does not get dated easily. It still looks great to me in 2022.
Hey Paul, excellent review. You lucky bastard! Great to see Godzilla still looks, feels and drives like no other supercar. The only difference now is that it's priced like a supercar. Sad to see the fun police getting to it! Keep up the good work mate.
your reviews, are so professionally done, really enjoyed that, and the question remaining for this product, is if you put the Spyros Panopoulos brakes on it, then it is hard to beat on hot laps?
Hmmm, don’t think that is true - Topgear bought a GTR over to the UK after that Japan test, but no record of JC owning one…. In fact while he raved about the GTR in that Topgear review, 6 months later in his own end of year DVD special he backtracked calling it (while acknowledging it was incredible performance for the money) sterile, boring and a car he would never personally want to own
Eh... life's a gamble. I've never bought a car for it's safety features. A true sign of a free democracy is to allow people to take risks. The same knobs who'll not let you buy this car because it doesn't have SIPs will, under the right circumstances send young men and women to a war zone and ask them to "risk it all"...bah!
Oh wow... I honestly didn't know the T-Spec goes for $200k. Not gonna lie, as much as I love GTRs I'd rather get a 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S for that price.
I really liked the R35 GTR when it came out well over a decade ago. It was an affordable supercar killer. Now its ancient and costs more than faster cars with similar price tag. The interior is laughably bad which was fine when it was half the price that it currently sells at new. I think Nissan priced it a little out of the market/purpose. Does sound fantastic for a V6 though and surprisingly tail happy when pushed. I'd get a 2015 Track edition, add some aftermarket Rays wheels and be much better off than this new one. Definitely a charming car which is rare these days
@@IamJay02 which is relevant to Australia how exactly? The T-Spec in the video is the mid range variant at 256k, the base Premium is 193k. The base GT-R on introduction was 156k.
The GTR was a beast, but the fact this vehicles chassis and drive train is still being sold in 2022 is just lazy by Nissan in my opinion. The car was launched in 2007, to put that into perspective of how long ago that actually was......most of us were still using MySpace to talk to friends and buying phone credit from the servo where we'd spot that new VE commodore that had just hit the Australian streets😅
Its nice to see they went with the Carbon brakes but the horse power is lacking in my opinion. It should be 600+. I don't know about those Dunlap tires, there are several people have had blowout on the factory Dunlap run flats at speeds close to 200 MPH. I went with a set of Pilot Sport 4S tires. There are better tires I'm sure but I these work well for my needs. That little pull tab on the trunk/boot is silly. The trunk/boot lid is actually very heavy and doesn't take much to close it. I find my self pulling with one hand and holding it underneath with the other gently lowering it. All in all, the T-Spec has some a few cool upgrades but I don't see $190k vs the base premium model price of $115k. A set of OEM Carbon brakes will set you back around $23k plus labor making it $138k plus another $2,000-3,000 Midpipe/tune to get you 600 hp for a total of $140-141K making it competitive with the above mentioned cars in the video and about $40-45k less.
How about WA? 0:33 God damn right man! 8:48 what is that mean? 24:31 excuse me ¿ 25:25 that’s some kind of bullshit to kill JDM performance car and boost the local shit cars only.
At the time of this comment the video is 9 days old. The last batch of these cars to come into Australia in october 2021 were already sold before they got here. I doubt 1 dealer has any left that aren't sold. I work for a Nissan dealer and was lucky enough to have a drive of the t-spec and Nismo SV models and despite the platform being over 10 years old these cars will always put a smile on your face every time you drive one.
I could get a fully loaded 911 Turbo S or even a second hand GT2RS that is Faster, better handling, more engaging, more reliable, a better brand, safer, more tech friendly, higher quality and isn’t based on an almost 15 year old car…I’m sorry but the GTR now is just so overpriced in 2022 for what your getting, and with T Specs trading for 600-800k, it’s not competing with the R8…it’s competing with the 720S, and Huracan which are way more engaging and fun to drive. The whole reason why you would buy a GTR was because it truely was a great package for the price…..10 years ago….now there are 4 door sedans for the same money that monster it. I hope the R36 lives up to the hype and truely upholds the GTR heritage like it should. Nissan I’m disappointed in as they truely haven’t done anything revolutionary for the GTR ever since it’s debut. It’s a gorgeous car, it’s performance is still remarkable and it has that essence from previous generations Skylines but it’s silly in 2022 although second hand GTR’s are exceptional value for money and borderline bargains.
I wouldn't buy such an expensive car with technology from decades ago. Even if it is a "historical" car. Any car costing 6 figures should have up to date technology.
you can't be called a "super car killer" when people are selling these things for 600K!!!!!!! that name is for cars that someone with a 9-5 can some day afford. these cars are now just as booshie as the rest. for this money, i would MUCH rather have a decked out Lambo. Sorry...... NEXT!
I saw a price tag of a used GTR for $695k in Carsales. These guys are nuts and purely optimistic. I will rather spend my cool $695k for a McLaren or a 911 plus an M3. Overseas market is around $300k second hand. It is simply not WORTH the money!
I wouldn't buy this car for more than $200k. At this point the GTR should've been better than how it is. I think rn its just living up to a old name. Interior looks like 2000s. Yea the design looks cool but atleast make some tweaks to make it look more modern, and that doesn't have to be a full redesign. I my eyes i think this is the cheapest sports/super car and im bot talking about the price.
you should know Kung Fu by now with all the flies you have been swatting away.... On GTR notes , I will always Love it even if I see it 30 years from now
It took a decade for other supercar manufacturers to catch up and beat the GT-R and even now with a little tune the Godzilla would dine on most of the modern supercars around a track. I think the R36 won't be supercar killer but a Hypercar killer...
It looks good but it's mega aged. I was literally 15 when this car came out I'm 30 now 🤣. Like lit via nostalgia but style but it needs a refresh it's too heavy no matter how much power they pump it up all the newer car still smokes it. The infotainment software needs a redone and over r36 is due.
All the competition destroys this GTR , it’s just old platform and outdated af for the price go for Porsche or r8 v10 plus also gtrs only good point is to buy it used and build the engine for power

Geeze prices have gone up since they first launched. They used to be the affordable super car but now I don't think I'll ever even get the opportunity to drive one. I'll probably never see a millenium jade on the road even because of the people "investing" in them.
A car once made to be driven hard now bought to be parked.
Good golly, they are really milking the GT-R. By now, only blood is coming out from its ti*s. Get this out and revamp the bleeding dinosaur for god's sake. Being a huge Nissan fan, this is now becoming really embarrassing for Nissan itself. Its as though the guys in Nissan's HQ and its main manufacturing center have lost touch in reality.
Which car in the market that can survive side impact hit from 4+ ton 4wd with bulbar ?
A bigger 4WD 😂
I had an 08 JDM and now a 17 JDM with Orange interior. In Japan for the 14.5mil JPY I paid for it I could have bought some exotics but I can't find any other car that attracts me as much as the R35. Considering it's not designed following the trend of it's time but more of a design made by computers it does not get dated easily. It still looks great to me in 2022.
Hey Paul, excellent review. You lucky bastard! Great to see Godzilla still looks, feels and drives like no other supercar. The only difference now is that it's priced like a supercar. Sad to see the fun police getting to it! Keep up the good work mate.
your reviews, are so professionally done, really enjoyed that, and the question remaining for this product, is if you put the Spyros Panopoulos brakes on it, then it is hard to beat on hot laps?
I love it... I remember when Jeremy from top gear 12 years ago when he drove it in Japan he was so impressed by the engineering. GTR road machine 💝💝
Hmmm, don’t think that is true - Topgear bought a GTR over to the UK after that Japan test, but no record of JC owning one…. In fact while he raved about the GTR in that Topgear review, 6 months later in his own end of year DVD special he backtracked calling it (while acknowledging it was incredible performance for the money) sterile, boring and a car he would never personally want to own
@@rotoehu9266 that's what I heard on a top gear car review it may be just a joke but you should see his review before you talk 👄
Yeah not entirely sure what ur saying about him buying one. He never bought one and never said that he will buy one in his review either
@@eshanmirash2456 I may be wrong I'll see if I can find it Thanks for the heads up 😶
@@samy4288 He did buy a GT from Ford. Not a GTR Nissan.
Did everyone become a kingpin drug dealer over lockdown, how are cars selling at such high prices..
I loved how he whispered "fuck" when he launched it😂😂
😂
Good catch!
That look will never get old!!!!! What a machineeeeeeee
Words that describes the GTR: "Old but Gold".
listen closely and you'll hear Paul drop the 'F-bomb' during launch!!!
Eh... life's a gamble. I've never bought a car for it's safety features. A true sign of a free democracy is to allow people to take risks. The same knobs who'll not let you buy this car because it doesn't have SIPs will, under the right circumstances send young men and women to a war zone and ask them to "risk it all"...bah!
Oh wow... I honestly didn't know the T-Spec goes for $200k. Not gonna lie, as much as I love GTRs I'd rather get a 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S for that price.
Darn regulations, preventing us from getting killed by side impacts.
The R35 GT-R still looks good, but I think it’s about time for the R36.
Another amazing review, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really liked the R35 GTR when it came out well over a decade ago. It was an affordable supercar killer. Now its ancient and costs more than faster cars with similar price tag. The interior is laughably bad which was fine when it was half the price that it currently sells at new. I think Nissan priced it a little out of the market/purpose. Does sound fantastic for a V6 though and surprisingly tail happy when pushed. I'd get a 2015 Track edition, add some aftermarket Rays wheels and be much better off than this new one. Definitely a charming car which is rare these days
Which cars are faster at the same price?
How has the price doubled?
@@jaredscott4829 msrp for the 2008 gtr was around 80k usd
@@IamJay02 which is relevant to Australia how exactly?
The T-Spec in the video is the mid range variant at 256k, the base Premium is 193k. The base GT-R on introduction was 156k.
@@jaredscott4829 He's getting confused with America and Australia, USD and AUD :)
@@TN_AU no I'm not 😐 apparently you people can't read
when you say from 2021 it cant be sold is that every gtr model or just this t spec?
Every GT-R 😢
Australia really is a nanny state.
I love the gauge in the dash showing l/100km....was hitting the max of 30 a few times...luv it
The GTR was a beast, but the fact this vehicles chassis and drive train is still being sold in 2022 is just lazy by Nissan in my opinion.
The car was launched in 2007, to put that into perspective of how long ago that actually was......most of us were still using MySpace to talk to friends and buying phone credit from the servo where we'd spot that new VE commodore that had just hit the Australian streets😅
This is true!
Ha ha, MySpace. Now there's a memory.
It's a testament to the engineering of the car, but yes it is due for a replacement for sure now.
Its nice to see they went with the Carbon brakes but the horse power is lacking in my opinion. It should be 600+. I don't know about those Dunlap tires, there are several people have had blowout on the factory Dunlap run flats at speeds close to 200 MPH. I went with a set of Pilot Sport 4S tires. There are better tires I'm sure but I these work well for my needs. That little pull tab on the trunk/boot is silly. The trunk/boot lid is actually very heavy and doesn't take much to close it. I find my self pulling with one hand and holding it underneath with the other gently lowering it. All in all, the T-Spec has some a few cool upgrades but I don't see $190k vs the base premium model price of $115k. A set of OEM Carbon brakes will set you back around $23k plus labor making it $138k plus another $2,000-3,000 Midpipe/tune to get you 600 hp for a total of $140-141K making it competitive with the above mentioned cars in the video and about $40-45k less.
How about WA?
0:33 God damn right man!
8:48 what is that mean?
24:31 excuse me ¿
25:25 that’s some kind of bullshit to kill JDM performance car and boost the local shit cars only.
Is WA still part of Australia? 😅
@@CarExpertAus Cuz
WA can’t find shit at the moment mate.
A local GT-R Friend of mine is waiting to take delivery of his Mellenium Jade T-Spec. I'm wicked excited to see it in person.
Still looks good will even go as far to say o e of the best cars ever
My dream car, always has been.
Nissan is really milking the R35 now
A Skyline née Q60 for the GTR
At the time of this comment the video is 9 days old. The last batch of these cars to come into Australia in october 2021 were already sold before they got here. I doubt 1 dealer has any left that aren't sold. I work for a Nissan dealer and was lucky enough to have a drive of the t-spec and Nismo SV models and despite the platform being over 10 years old these cars will always put a smile on your face every time you drive one.
I don’t think the styling is dated at all! It might give the new ( retro design) Nissan Z a run for its money!
I could get a fully loaded 911 Turbo S or even a second hand GT2RS that is Faster, better handling, more engaging, more reliable, a better brand, safer, more tech friendly, higher quality and isn’t based on an almost 15 year old car…I’m sorry but the GTR now is just so overpriced in 2022 for what your getting, and with T Specs trading for 600-800k, it’s not competing with the R8…it’s competing with the 720S, and Huracan which are way more engaging and fun to drive. The whole reason why you would buy a GTR was because it truely was a great package for the price…..10 years ago….now there are 4 door sedans for the same money that monster it. I hope the R36 lives up to the hype and truely upholds the GTR heritage like it should. Nissan I’m disappointed in as they truely haven’t done anything revolutionary for the GTR ever since it’s debut. It’s a gorgeous car, it’s performance is still remarkable and it has that essence from previous generations Skylines but it’s silly in 2022 although second hand GTR’s are exceptional value for money and borderline bargains.
It STILL looks BRILLIANT 😉💪👍👌
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I wouldn't buy such an expensive car with technology from decades ago. Even if it is a "historical" car. Any car costing 6 figures should have up to date technology.
I had a mate who owned a GTR. He ended up selling because he got sick of the cops "randomly" pulling him over every time he drove it.
Pretty sure I heard a faint “firetruck” in the 0-100 km/h test after you launched 🤣
you can't be called a "super car killer" when people are selling these things for 600K!!!!!!! that name is for cars that someone with a 9-5 can some day afford.
these cars are now just as booshie as the rest. for this money, i would MUCH rather have a decked out Lambo.
Sorry...... NEXT!
I saw a price tag of a used GTR for $695k in Carsales. These guys are nuts and purely optimistic. I will rather spend my cool $695k for a McLaren or a 911 plus an M3. Overseas market is around $300k second hand. It is simply not WORTH the money!
Me: How many new varient of Nissan GT-R R35 are you gonna still sale nissan?
Nissan: Yes.
The keys are the same as my 07 G35S sedan ahahaha, same as the paddle shifters.
I think it looks great
IDK as a GTR owner, i would have loved an actual facelift, and some differences in performance
this t-spec looks good and i suspect it will look great for a very very long time
I wouldn't buy this car for more than $200k.
At this point the GTR should've been better than how it is. I think rn its just living up to a old name. Interior looks like 2000s. Yea the design looks cool but atleast make some tweaks to make it look more modern, and that doesn't have to be a full redesign. I my eyes i think this is the cheapest sports/super car and im bot talking about the price.
you should know Kung Fu by now with all the flies you have been swatting away....
On GTR notes , I will always Love it even if I see it 30 years from now
Ha ha
It took a decade for other supercar manufacturers to catch up and beat the GT-R and even now with a little tune the Godzilla would dine on most of the modern supercars around a track.
I think the R36 won't be supercar killer but a Hypercar killer...
It's really not worth the premium for the T-spec. A non Tspec is $150,000. So upgrading to T-spec is +$750,000...... WHY
It looks good but it's mega aged.
I was literally 15 when this car came out I'm 30 now 🤣.
Like lit via nostalgia but style but it needs a refresh it's too heavy no matter how much power they pump it up all the newer car still smokes it.
The infotainment software needs a redone and over r36 is due.
Fayed income mate..........yah flamin galah.
I would wait for the rumored Toyota GR Supra MANUAL Transmission in years to come.
Because of the Interior which is more luxury and comfy.
the t-spec is a collectable
All the competition destroys this GTR , it’s just old platform and outdated af for the price go for Porsche or r8 v10 plus also gtrs only good point is to buy it used and build the engine for power
