That part about taking it to the nissan dealership where they can run a diagnostic on the ecu and tcm is amazing. Wish I could hit like twice for this info.
@@DOZDDMGator The Consult tool is not a simple scan tool and runs around $10K. So its not something just any shop would purchase unless they specialise in GT-R's cause you have to scan a lot of vehicles before you can pay back for the tool.
Might as well have bought a new one. You're going to spend the difference between a 2019 and 2016 just on maintenance alone. I've seen other videos claim it's $12k/yr just to operate a GT-R and keep it maintained properly. That's approaching Bugatti maintenance prices.
TasteMyStinkhole if you get warranties from the dealership when buying it will usually cover maintenance with a very low deductible. My nissan offers free fluid changes , and 100,000 mile warranty you can buy.
@@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt Maybe, if you cant change oil yourself. I tend to do all maintenance I reasonably can myself. But I'm got used to working on cars in the 80's and on, so yeah, they were simpler then. But Fluid Changes, Brakes, Filters, Plugs, Coils and most stuff the OBD computer gives you are no-brainers and cost stupid money at the dealers. A $20 OBD2 Blue Tooth dongle plus $5 Torque Pro on your smartphone can still tell you a lot even if it cant do much except clear fault codes.
I bought a 2009 GTR with 75k Miles and it was well cared for. One of the owners used it for lots of freeway driving. She wanted a GTR for her travels. She had lots of work done to it with all the maintenance logs. The steering column was one of them. Among other warranty items, transmission, flywheel housing, front diff, instrument cluster, AV unit, ECM reprogrammed in 2011, TCM reprogramming. Second owner had the transmission rebuilt with a Shepard Stage stage 1. I didn't pull logs with Nissan but sometimes you can tell when I car is good. The detailed logs had me sold.
You could own one. I think if the GTR-34 get's legalized in the US, all other GTR prices will drop. Then as more years go by, mialege goes up, mods, paint deterioration, etc, the cars price will drop even further and you could probably have one for $25,000 used of course. And by then the aftermarket will have solutions to fix all the problems and make it bulletproof reliable.
You just saved me from dropping a lot of money on the wrong year car this week. Very informative and now I must look for the correct year car I’m after. Great video!
I own the old school Nissan R33 GTR RB26DETT and it's amazing to see how advance the R35 GTR is compared to my GTR, I'm going to be selling my R33 GTR in 2021 to purchase a R35 GTR and thanks to your videos I know more what to look out for when viewing to buy
great video! Tons of useful information on used GTR’s. After watching this video I realized i want a 2012+ I plan on keeping it stock! I am totally HAPPY with the stock performance!
I discovered the Skyline GTR back in the mid 80's in one of the car Mags. A 1 page article about Japan's Supercar. It was little known back then, and have been wanting one since. The R-34's are my Favorite models, yet These R-35's are looking BETTER each year. Still am working on aquiring one as soon as I can. Can't get them out of my mind. Lambo's, Ferrari's, TVR's, V-12 Jags, and Aston's are on my list also. Looking for certain ones to renovate and drive, or Race Professionally . Thanks for this information, and have subscribed. Great work.
I'm seriously not that type of human being that comments on videos, but to be honest, I do have to thank you. I'm just about to purchase a 2015 GTR, and your advice helped me out a lot though. Wishing you all the best. Regards from Germany my friend.
Another nice video! Ya know what amazes me most: GT-R owners wanting to sell, USE a real camera!!! 50-105mm lens (get farther away from the car, THEN zoom in a little, THEN take the photo!), and use a polarizing filter to remove unwanted reflections, and shoot in the last hour or first hour of the day = easier lighting = car looks better. $75k car = $1 photography skills. Way too many wide angle distorted looking images (especially the dealership photos), but I enjoyed salivating over 'em! Seems like it's around $70k for a 2013-14 sweet spot. I have my heart set on this car!!!
Very helpful. I'm in the market for a 2013 GT-R now. Was going for another Porsche turbo but this is such a bargain when you factor in reliability and cost to tune and bolt on. Thanks from everybody.
Excellent Video. I have had two GTR R35 and exactly what you explain is what every buyer should observe. An interesting point is to check if the front bumper has two small layer of clear plastics under the headlamps that will let you know if the car has been painted or crash.
My childhood dream car . And it still is! 🤤Great Price/performance. But still a bit out of range moneywise 😪. But some day it will be in my garage. Till now watching these awsome video's. And learning as mutch as i can.
Since I have been researching purchasing a GTR used for 2 years now I already knew all of this and it's why I tell everyone that it will defiantly be a 2014+. I have people tell me all of the time "but why not a 2009 or 2010? my older grt never had any problems.. blah blah" And I always tell them that with later yeared cars of any platform the problems have been more than likely fixed and refined. I'm not changing my mind, I don't mind spending the extra cash. For new people this is a great video and very descriptive. Good job!
Did you research the fact that Car and Driver's lighting lap shows ZERO performance increase on the track between 2012 and 2017 models they tested. lol. Nissan has been consistently raping customers with higher and higher prices while giving nothing in the way of better performance. I love that. Name any other performance car that hasn't had a performance increase in 5+ model years. GT-R was a bargain in 2009, and steadily been a raping ripoff ever since.
I found a nice GTR for sale, looks awesome with 0 flaws in the description owned by a gtr expert. A 800hp black edition, supposed to be one of the first road legal GTRs in my country. Only problem is the prizetag at 170 000$...
Thanks for the reply, I’m really loving the content. I want to purchase a GTR after I find another ISF. I was in an accident last August. I really love the ISF, but never had a coupe. Thanks for the videos.
Your videos are great. I love the GT-R and hopefully one day I'll be able to own one. I like the 2017 refresh a lot so it's just waiting to see them depreciate enough.
Great video very informative. I was considering buying one, i just dont know if i want to deal with some of the costs if something goes wrong. I dont mind the everyday maintenance, but $4k for brakes and rotors. I thought my M3 was expensive. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the informative video! Yes i will still buy a GTR but now knowing what you just taught me i will be finding a 2013 or newer because of the launch control feature. It would be a shame to purchase an older GTR only to find out I need to spend even more dough on replacing inferior tech. Thanks!! 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥👊😁
Am interested in a GTR, so this vid came at just the right time and is just the kind of stuff I wanted to know beforehand. Thank you and I'm still getting one!
tigerbiterhater not true the CBA is a great platform and can be modded,even slightly..and be just as good if not better than the DBA..u can buy a cba cheaper and take the money you saved and buy a Cobb access port and some larger inlets and exhaust and have a better/ faster car than the DBA ..and still save money
eve williams Interesting i never heard that before. I need to do more research. I have a q50 3.0 right now but am going to step it up when my lease is up in 2.5 years.
For the $1k/mo maintenance costs alone on a used GT-R, you could buy a 650 HP/TQ 2019 Corvette Z06 and run circles around a $170k NISMO GT-R on the track.
I have watched too many of those "how much does it cost to own a GT-R" videos. If you stick with only certified Nissan GTR techs, and follow their maintenance schedule, and use only Nissan certified parts, you should be right around 12 thousand a year in maintenance. If you go to your neighborhood jack of all trades mechanic who works on cars for a side income, and you buy aftermarket parts, you can save a decent chunk of change. I have no idea what it costs to maintain a Ferrari, but changing a set of tires on a Bugatti costs $25,000 for the tires alone. It's pretty insane what it costs to maintain a Bugatti
@@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt so far from the truth. Maintenance schedule is typically $200 dollars for an oil change at the dealership every 4 to 5000 miles. Fluids on 09s, the big ones are transmission/differentials every 18k mile and it is incredibly easy to do. Typical cost at the dealer is around 4 to 500 bucks if you supply the fluids. Average cost - I would say is somewhere around $2000 to $3000 a year if you're following the book at the dealership. My car is out of warranty and has around 83k miles and I've owned it for over a very, very long time. I recently did the spark-plugs, coolant flush, diff, transfer case, transmission, engine, brake, power steering oil, -- basically all fluids in car as well as the serpentine belt and an alignment - it ran me only $1900 parts and labor at a reputable performance shop. If you're buying a car like this - you should be more than capable of being able to afford the maintenance of it. Lastly, Bugatti tires don't cost $25,000. $25,000 is the cost of the annual service of the car. Tires for the car cost around $30,000+ and the tires can only be changed up to 3 times on the same set of rims before you need to get an entire new set of rims from Bugatti --which cost even more :(
Why I wold put a dislike??? What is wrong with you people??? This dude is just perfect, things he is doing is a big and good experience for us, for people that waiting for moment to get used GTR!!! Thanks for videos like subscribe!!
my JDM 08 is going 10 years, had those led issues in the cluster, 2 MFD's and dash cracking early years. Running LC5 and upgraded clips in the valve body to DBA specs. Now its running fine without any issues, do and oil change every 3k km due to the heat ( mildly modded stage 1.5) and transmisssion every 20k km, still feels solid and probably would last a long time.
i agree that JDM 12 or USDM 13s are the best, after all its was the last year kazutoshi mizuno san had a hand in its development before retiring from nissan. In an interview, he did mention that it was probably the gtr he made out to build.
We love our 2017 GTR Premium! Once we get back from Okinawa (2022), I’m looking to buy another GTR or possibly an Audi R8. But LOVE the GTR! Great video! Just became a sub!
Wow! Thanks man. I can see you’ve done your homework. Definitely gives me soot to consider WHEN I buy my GTR. Those repairs seem awefully steep.... 😬😬😬. But again like you said it comes with the territory. Thanks again man for the information. Very helpful
When I was 18 I bought a Subaru Legacy B4 then sold it when i turned 20 and bought an Impreza GC8 STi and now im 22 I sold it and bought an R34, but It's not the expensive GT-R version but a RWD GT-Turbo, I bought the car in Japanese action site for 15k and import fees of 1k from Japan to Vancouver and I am almost close in getting my dream of making this car into a GT-R. Now I am just saving up so I can afford to buy an RB26 and all the parts to turn this baby into a monster. Just do your job and do what he said, but for my need I didn't need to use financing. Hey just do the things he said and that dream of your could be around that corner. Cheers on your dreams.
If your interested In what I do for a living, I am still in university, I am a mechanical engineer, I just earn 20CAD an hour in a Toyota servicing department.
Great video... I bought a 2013 GT-R before I saw your video. Apparently I did everything right with the year of manufacture. Do you think car prices will continue to rise in the future? Greetings from Switzerland
Thinking about buying a GTR since i just turned 21 and finished school , but im scared about probelms and i kinda just wanna build my n54 335i but a gtr is my dream car
good video ,pretty much spot on when you said ''80-100k ' is the gtr price mark for what it offers ,I had 2010 and 2015 and paid around 70k for both at the time and can't really justify the gtr costing more than 100k when new .As much as I love the car, the whole R35 platform is getting outdated fast and nissan has to step up and release some r36 info asap
Good info. I'm in the market for a performance car/track car, and the GTR is on my list along with Z06. The Corvette is definitely winning the performance/$$$ battle, largely due to availability and also performance/maintenance potential.

Buying a used GT-R is like marrying a prostitute. 🤢🤮

Dude i can finally buy one cash 2009-2011 but watching your video and all this problems makes me look for another car
Nice video. I had a choice between a 2014 GTR and 2014 CLS63S AMG and went with the AMG. Still in love with both cars.
what a great guide to purchasing a pre-owned GTR! amazing work! beautiful video!!
shottyshot Thanks!
I am interested in buying 1 but the prob is don't have money for lunch even but still I am watching the video
I will still buy a GTR and if I have problems I’ll send it to you 😎
I didn't watch this before i bought mine but looks like i went with the right choice :) Good video though!
What year did u get
Great video . GTR 2017+ till 2020 never changed ? I mean interior/exterior?
waiting to be delivered on monday!! 2016 premium edition😍 Can't wait to add another to my collection of diecasts!
looking at a 2013 today :D just refreshed over this vid again :)
my JDM 08 is going 10 years, had those led issues in the cluster, 2 MFD's and dash cracking early years. Running LC5 and upgraded clips in the valve body to DBA specs. Now its running fine without any issues, do and oil change every 3k km due to the heat ( mildly modded stage 1.5) and transmisssion every 20k km, still feels solid and probably would last a long time.
Good to hear your experience.
i agree that JDM 12 or USDM 13s are the best, after all its was the last year kazutoshi mizuno san had a hand in its development before retiring from nissan. In an interview, he did mention that it was probably the gtr he made out to build.
We love our 2017 GTR Premium! Once we get back from Okinawa (2022), I’m looking to buy another GTR or possibly an Audi R8. But LOVE the GTR! Great video! Just became a sub!
I instantly hit the subscribe button after that useful info. Looking forward to your newer content in the future
Im going for a 2017 premium with 35k miles or less. You should make a checklist for people to go through. That would be awwwesome
Wow! Thanks man. I can see you’ve done your homework. Definitely gives me soot to consider WHEN I buy my GTR. Those repairs seem awefully steep.... 😬😬😬. But again like you said it comes with the territory. Thanks again man for the information. Very helpful
When I was 18 I bought a Subaru Legacy B4 then sold it when i turned 20 and bought an Impreza GC8 STi and now im 22 I sold it and bought an R34, but It's not the expensive GT-R version but a RWD GT-Turbo, I bought the car in Japanese action site for 15k and import fees of 1k from Japan to Vancouver and I am almost close in getting my dream of making this car into a GT-R. Now I am just saving up so I can afford to buy an RB26 and all the parts to turn this baby into a monster. Just do your job and do what he said, but for my need I didn't need to use financing. Hey just do the things he said and that dream of your could be around that corner. Cheers on your dreams.
If your interested In what I do for a living, I am still in university, I am a mechanical engineer, I just earn 20CAD an hour in a Toyota servicing department.
Great video... I bought a 2013 GT-R before I saw your video.
Apparently I did everything right with the year of manufacture.
Do you think car prices will continue to rise in the future?
Greetings from Switzerland
This makes me want to buy a GTR
🤣😂🤣
Great video! Was not sure what year to get,obviously older is cheaper. Thinking 2013-2014 is where I want to be.
FYI, turning the wheel to see inside tire wear has nothing to do with camber, but toe.
Thinking about buying a GTR since i just turned 21 and finished school , but im scared about probelms and i kinda just wanna build my n54 335i but a gtr is my dream car
Just got a career and started saving up for one. I am really looking for a 2012 and up! Hope to join yall soon!
Congrats! Look forward to you joining the family.
good video ,pretty much spot on when you said ''80-100k ' is the gtr price mark for what it offers ,I had 2010 and 2015 and paid around 70k for both at the time and can't really justify the gtr costing more than 100k when new .As much as I love the car, the whole R35 platform is getting outdated fast and nissan has to step up and release some r36 info asap
Good info. I'm in the market for a performance car/track car, and the GTR is on my list along with Z06. The Corvette is definitely winning the performance/$$$ battle, largely due to availability and also performance/maintenance potential.
The price and frequency of routine maintance are, well, a stopper.
One of the best guide ever❤️
Even though I'm not going to buy😁
Yes, I'm in the market for one, very useful tips, I was a bit hazy on some issues, thanks for clarifying.
i love these cars and plan to get one eventually. glad to find a channel all about them
