Glad I could help. This car has a bunch of secret stuff

Awesome. Glad I could help

Ya, it's wierd. The photos are fine on my phone and IG. YT did something to them for some reason.

Great place to be

Ya, it's my daily. They kid is two almost three and still riding in the GTR all the time

Ya i realized that during editing. Part 2 gets closer

Awesome, glad I could help. Best of luck on your search. There are some good GTRs out there

It holds the axel to the hub. For my temp doesn't make a difference

The gtr's rear diff makes a loud metallic popping noise when it's cold and turning, goes away once everything is at operating temp

​@@taingeryes true ..also when u go in reverse it makes a clicking noise...the owners manual has a lot of information when i read it i always realize something new

​@@JDArcherso if its not tighten will it fall off ? The whole wheel with the caliper and all?

​@ScolarshipBoy1984 no, there is a pin that keeps the axel nut from completely coming off. If it does some how, then the axle can come our, but it think it's highly unlikely to

Awesome, thank you and welcome

I agree with most of what you said. My only disagreement is with your comment about cost of maintenance. This has been of of the most reliable cars I've had with 136k miles on it. Maintenance has been fairly cheap and repairs minimal.

@@JDArcher​​⁠didn’t say they aren’t reliable. If your using a specialist service centre your be looking north of 1000 a year with nothing wrong with it. Lower suspension arms over a thousand. Brakes and discs. 2.5k. Oil cooler 4k. Sumps on gearbox rust 750. Rear subframe 4k fitted. I own 4 and own a GTR approved Bodyshop 1 of 4 in UK. Tyres if running the new dunlops last max 7000 miles I could carry on all night

​@StuartGold-f7j ahh, that's the big difference. I do all my wrenching myself. Makes oil changes $45 instead of $350

Awesome, welcome and thank you

Well, one the viper was my dream car back in High School so comparing dreams cars was fun. Two, the viper was the famous high HP car of the time, now the GTR catches some impressive numbers. Three, old school no frills power vs new tech computer controlled car.

Awesome. Thanks

I thought the same thing, but I don't know for the socket will clear and if the pin is in the way...but this will help

They are cheap and as someone else pointed out, brakes are something you should never go cheap on. The thing with SBD is that their quality is inconsistent. You may get a set of good pads, or you may get a set with issues. You'll never know which one until you install them.

​@@JDArcheri love your channel ! But with your previous experience wouldnt it be better to get nissan brakes and nissan dealer pads althought they robbing you ? And like you said its not worth buying cheap? What would be the reason to so another aftermarket tryout like this video?

​@ScolarshipBoy1984 i get what you're saying, but Endless is a well known brand. Most people get the MX72 or MX72+. I got the CC-Rg because I want to do some track days. Endless is track tested and their site gives you temp ratings for the pads. I got SBD pads because they were cheap and the wife limited my budget on car parts​@@ScolarshipBoy1984

​@@JDArcherim paranoid knw and ill buy the nissan dealr a little extra preice to pay but i guess ut goes back to peace of mind because its "oEm"

Ya, if it works for you, go for it. Its just the stock pads won't hold up to track use @ScolarshipBoy1984 @@ScolarshipBoy1984

2.4

Especially if you're using launch control

It's on my list to get lighting bolt head lights off of a 2016 plus

I had the rotors turned before the bed in, but if you notice i was having issues with the GoPro and the footage was lost, but I did talk about getting it done in the video before I went. As for what you believe, that is up to you. It happened to me and so I'm going to post about it whether it's popular or not. The issue only happens when it rains. In SoCal, that's not very often and even then it's usually pretty light. This year we got Oregon style rain and thats when the pads decided not to work. Given the size of my channel, you can definitely not assume I'm doing this for clout. I'm in my 40s and don't care about such things. I do this because I enjoy it and I know I'll never be a big you tuber, I don't have the free time and im to old. I'm just telling my story, what you do with it is up to you

On a second note I'm sorry I didn't actually crash my car to make it more believable

No hate, I must have missed that part. I am also in my late 40s but after 3 years I’m sure the rotors and pads were glazed and once it seen water it had no bite. Did you have the rotors turned the first time? I’m curious cause when I did mine I replaced rotors and pads cause the oem rotors were glazed and started to heat crack. Glad to hear that you didn’t crash. running mine for over 3 years now in Indiana all types of weather with no issues. Hope you fixed your issue for good now and hey maybe you did get a poor set but really no reason to bash someone on TH-cam. Every industry has its pros and cons but Chris does have some of the best bang for the buck products out there. ✌️

​@shannonjenningsGTR35 the first thing I did when i bought the car is install the SBD rotors, pads and brake lines. I considered the glazing as well, but the car has not been driven hard since January 2022. Even if the rotors were glazed, I'd imagine it would be off by now. My assumption is that SBD is lacking in their QC. This is evidenced by other who have the squeaking issues and those that don't. So, when you get a good set of pads, they're good, but if you revs to run a little unlucky like i do, and you get a bad set...I the bigger issue is when I contacted Chris and offered to send the pads to him to get then analyzed to see if he did have an issue, he wasn't interested.

Sorry to hear that bro, good luck with the new set

PS, pretty weak of Chris to behave like that. Not totally surprised though, he seems to be very controlling of the narrative on “His” GTR group and doesn’t seem very receptive to feedback and has a “know it all” attitude, so when I hear this type of thing it just solidifies preconceptions.

​@Superdimensional i agree with your assessment. I also believe that he just doesn't do CQ, so bad parts are allowed through. I was just unlucky enough to get a bad set of pads

I’m really sad to hear this because I actually watched your videos before I bought my own GTR. I trusted the words that came out of your mouth. For Starters, we are to believe that you installed these brake pads on your own several times and then you had a shop redo your work. At some point after that shop touched your car you state that you attempted to apply your brakes and nothing happened. In order to stop you had to pullyour e break. But your story does not stop there you continue to drive the vehicle and this happens again. If this happened one time you would get the car towed to a shop. You wouldn’t continue to drive it and test your luck. Unfortunately, your story is highly unbelievable and I think you are pointing the blame in the wrong direction. The people you should be looking at if this did in fact happen the people that touched your brakes last. Also ask somebody in that community on Facebook we all know you didn’t get banned for contacting him about this issue.

I think the issue with SBD is their QC. Bad parts are allowed through, so if you get a good set, they're good, but if you're unlucky like me...

@@JDArcher maybe you got a bad set, mine just needed to be changed but I was looking for less fade and stronger initial bite , the mx72 are amazing but they're super dusty , I also daily my car

​@disaster6467 ya, i think i got a bad set also, but it was Chris's reaction to me telling him. I've not used the 72 or 72+, but the CC-Rg seem great as of right now

Covers up the sound of the wind and traffic driving by

It covers up the sound of wind and traffic driving by

That would require manufacturers to actually care

Kind of not really. You can get the Cobb 2.75 intakes because they have a CARB # and I have a Y-Pipe and Cat back. But if you're doing track, best bang for the buck is brakes and suspension

That is a very good point

Ya, it was about time

No, you can cut out here the head lights go. You'll also need some extra clips

@@JDArcher thanks for the response man

​@@lilbooga-p5m glad I can help

Ya, it's too bad they could not get the center piece right

Thank you

This comment took me on a Rollercoaster

@@JDArcher for some reason it just got under my skin the way he said aero so confidently yet completely weirdly

Sometimes its fun to do that. James pumfrey made a career on it ​@joshuapaten3927

I got a used one from someone in the community, then had it paint matched

There are lots of jdm to usdm license plate conversion bars out there

Awesome and thanks

Yup, one thing is the wing was partially un-installed and second it's coming off for a different wing

Awesome. Glad I could help. However, if your dream is the R34 I would recommend maybe waiting and trying for one. Otherwise you will always see the R35 as a consolation prize and not your dream

@@JDArcherthats true, i still even like the looks of a r32 over a r35 but I can’t justify that they’re the same price for a cba Thanks for making my choice even tougher 😂 R34’s are the unicorn everyone wants though but feel the r35 has the modern refinements

​probably the best thing for you to do is test drive a R35. They're newer and came to the states so I'm sure you can find one on a lot. That will probably help the most. I can tell you that they are good cars. My only real complaints are they are to big and the seats feel to high ​@@pantsdownbert

Thanks 👍

Thanks
