*UPDATE* Since filming this video GTR prices have changed a lot! I sold this R35 GTR for $75k with 50k miles in 2023. Expect to pay in the $70k range for a 2013+ R35 with around 50k miles. 2017 GTR's are going for about $100k or more. Early years are going to be in the $60k range.
@@iamrob3044 That’s supply and demand for you. And what happens when the economy goes down the tubes. When I filmed this video things were thriving. Hopefully things get back to good next year. Best bet now is to buy a cool brand new car. I bought a manual Supra for MSRP. I can sell it for more then I paid. So it’s a solid car to have since it’s not depreciating. Same with our new RS3 coming. New special cars are the things to buy right now to not lose money
Not anymore, brother. I can buy a 50k mile GTR for 58k here in San Antonio. It makes me glad because I can finally see myself spending money to buy me a GTR that I can build over time.
I remember around 2010 I had a few friends that went ballistic wanting a GTR when these were starting to get popular. Not sure if they were able to accomplish their dreams but it does make me think back to those times.
Yeah I remember when they came out. Such a cool car for the money and they were pretty exciting to see! I don't see too many these days tho. Getting more rare!
The R35 has to be one of the best examples of a modern car carrying the lineage of a legendary ancestor. Very different from what came before, but no less dominant.
Yep. I have a 2016 "modified" GTR, 2016 Hellcat, and a kit car A/C cobra. The Cobra blows them both away off the line but, the GTR quickly zips by - then it's gone.... Unbelievable. (Hellcat doesn't stand a chance.)
Excellent review! I've owned a 2016 for about 8 months. The first thing I did before buying, (and I recommend everyone do this) is bring it to the dealer for a diagnostic which will show how hot the transmission temp. got, and the oil temp. If ridiculously hot, (and the GTR tech can tell you) you may not want to buy it. Cost me $100.00, they gave me a nice print out and went over everything. Definitely gave me piece of mind! I've driven lots of sports cars over the years, Datsun Z cars, BMW, Benz, Hellcat, etc - there is no comparison. One of my life's best purchases.
Glad you liked the video! Yeah a pre purchase inspection is always a must! When I worked at a dealer we encouraged everyone buying our high end cars to do that. I bought this from a Nissan dealer, and it was sold new at the same dealer and serviced there every year. So I new it would be good. Sounds like some cool cars you've owned!
People who have these cars normally just talk about the speed and power. I thank you for giving me a real review on this car, the pros and cons of this car. Thanks for sharing.
Thx for all the insight . I just bought a 2017 Black on Black GT-R but wrapped gun metal grey with 30K miles . it will be on our channel in 2 weeks . I'm still in shocked i finally got one .
With a GT-R you get a multi-page check sheet with explanations of the sounds and noises to expect. They define the GT-R as a supercar and to expect the unexpected. My 2020 has been great. The only thing I have noticed is reverse. When backing up it almost feels like the rear end is a solid axle which is amplified the more you turn the wheel. The steering remains centered but when you turn the wheel more, the resistance is sharply reduced. You feel you could easily handle any rally course driving with one finger. So at speed, 2 hands are required on the wheel to avoid over steering. At increased speeds, the handling is more planted and very comfortable.
Yeah I've heard about that when you buy a new one! Pretty funny. Mine does the same thing in reverse. Feels like the diff is locked. The GTR has speed sensing steering rack so it gets tighter the faster you go. It's really at home in high speed situations. Makes any drive super fun!
Just so you know the issues are with the CBA models of 09-11 GTRs for Launch control braking the transfer case and other transmission issues. But if you talk to a place that knows what they are talking about like Cicio Performance (formerly Top Speed Motorsports) they can upgrade anything to handle the power you are trying to get to. And you can get a new 2015 bell housing installed so it will fix that rattle. And the car is heavy enough so adding wheels that weigh more is not the best thing as you should go for wheels that weigh less for that unsprung weight. Like changing out to CCB kit will be less weight and improve braking and handling because of the weight saving on unsprung weight.
I love it when you post up about your GTR, because I watched all your videos about it before I bought myself one last November. I'm just glad I bought one before the prices went up. Keep up the good work!
Technically model year wise (for the US) the 2009-2011 are the CBA. 2012-2016 (start of the DBA) have the same front daytime lights (with the slightly different front fascia), a different rear diffuser, a white-ish LCD gauge cluster, and gray plastic interior trim rather than the CBA’s orange LCD cluster and more silver plastic trim inside. 2015 Nissan went to the first “lightning bolt” headlight design and to the ring LED taillights. 2017 and up have current body changes and interior design changes as you described. 2012 was really the first step in the right direction in terms of improved bell housing design and changing the launch control logic a bit. Shep also confirmed the 2012-2014 model year cars have the same transmission parts internally.
Great information! I think the transmission tuning is also a big difference between the ones that had issues and the good ones. The Cobb AP has been awesoem to update tunes on things
I literally maintain my 2014 Nissan Sentra SV 1.8L like it were a GTR. How you do anything is how you do everything. Started with a Versa. Climbing the ladder. Next will be an Altima, then a Maxima, then a Z, then a GTR.
Very true! Also, cars like this are hardly different then normal cars. I'm currently rebuilding my Lamborghini. It's no different then any basic car. Cars are all simple, take care of them, and they will take care of you. Keep working towards it! I went from the Scion tC to the genesis, then 370Z, Nismo, GTR and now a Lambo! You got this!
Best car Ive ever owned, on my 2nd one and dont regret it one bit , also I'm the same way when it comes to driving, if I don't drive it for more than a day I start getting anxious lol
Really liked this video. Found it to be very transparent. I used to work at Nissan dealer when I was younger and couldn’t afford it when they came out, been saving for a while then I saw how the clean low miles were finally in the low 60s. Only to then see them jump up away from me. It’s like every car I wanted to own growing up has become some collector’s obsession. I daily drive my cars. My only hope is that prices come down or I come across a ‘barn find” to make it happen. I’ll monitor your channel in case you ever decide to sell yours since it came from a good home.
Glad you liked the vid! Yeah it's crazy how the market jumped! I'm glad I own mine. But I can't really even think about upgrading it since a newer one will be $100k! Hopefully they chill out a bit. If I knew the market would have shot up. I would have picked up a few 2010 models for $45k and flipped them lol Keep working toward it tho!
Conclusion if you going to mod your R35 to 800HP+ just go for 2008 CBA, since you already have to change the transmission parts which can handle 1000HP+ (Dodson , albine) even better than 2021 Nismo R35 . And guaranteed unlimited launch control no issue at all. That's the reason why 2008 CBA price still hold strong even all people say their transmission having issue, after market transmission even better than nissan not that expensive if you guys do research.
Amazing review in my opinion. Gonna share this video with a friend because it's his dream car and he's looking to get one and he could use all these important information you shared as an actual owner. Thank you, sir
I kicked M4 in the curb. I had bmws i had audis, 3 evos, american muscle cars! I'm JDM awd turbo guy. Got GT-R 2 days ago, obsidian black ext color. I always go with black cars. Can't be more happy. I wish I got it sooner!!! never cared about GTRs until I drove one. I care less about look or interior. Insurance is cheaper then M4 was. I watched every GT-R video of yours. Btw. Where are you guys shopping for GT-R parts btw AMS is 10min from me. I'm looking already for mjdpipe and get Cobb new wheels. Etc.
Thats awesome to hear! GTR is really a one of a kind car that is nothing like other cars! Epic supercar! Pretty much everything I've put on my car is from AAM Competition. Great pricing on things and my car has ran fantastic!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I bought AAM Midpipe and installed it, Rohana wheels with 285 front 325 rear :) tires, I changed sparkplugs, engine oil, cabin filter, stage2 trans, new pads, rotors, engine filters, slight tint on windows. I'm ready for summer. Love the car! It feels like I'm flying a fighter jet! everything was done within a month! haha! oh and I have Cobb coming in the mail! so I can monitor things and re-learn tpms sensors. plus slight tune! cheers! when I hit small parking lot I put in manual- less jerky! it's the second gear really that makes them jerky in auto. but again my trans is more rough and I like the ROUGH feeling and I don't mind at all. :) 09 with 100k goes for 55k+ lol.
I never clicked over so fast - I forsee a 2017 in your mind later on lol I think you said all the upgrades can be switched over- Awesome as usual Brian!
Thanks for checking out the video! Next year I'll start my search for my next GTR! The only thing I might need to get are different downpipes. And then just have them update my Accessport to support the newer car. Love these cars!
I've been wanting this car since I was very young , it started with the R34 then R35 and I am buying my first R35 next month and my first R34 shortly after . Also only 23
@@zhayloworld3102 Nismo was a heck of a lot of fun! I do like the GTR way more tho. But can see picking up another Z at some point and doing a twin turbo ;)
A 24 yr old wouldnt get Insurance in the UK for one. I am 38 and they asked me if I was over 30 and if I had proof that I had owned performance turbos cars in the last 2 years
I saw a TH-cam video about an alternative car battery good for 50 years made of 6 350farad supercapacitors, circuit board, resistors, a 4200mah 7.2 volt remote control car/truck battery, I ordered what’s needed, everything was put together and the alternative battery worked. I also saw another video about HHO (hydrogen) as car gas, I get everything needed for that too that was in the video and that works too. Fuel enriched air only when car is running do to electricity from the battery works just like regular gasoline and it’s emissions free
I got to drive my buddy’s black 2010 back in 2013, to this day it remains the fastest most amazing car I’ve driven to date. I’ve also driven WRX STi’s, Supras, a Camaro ZL1, and some others and the GT-R is by far the best out of all them. Wish I could have gotten a second spin before he sold it!
@@EJ.2000 it’s like the difference between a cheetah and a horse. They’re both fast as hell but one of them is just more slick, graceful and athletic than the other. They’re both fast as hell but they feel completely different.
Have to come back here, just sold my GTR. Another tip dealership will rip you off for the price. They will tell you stuff about how bad GTR is. They will treat the car like its a normal Sentra. It was a big lost for me, but I really have no choice since I have a student loan. If anyone own a GTR, DON’T sell it to dealership. 🤙🏼 will always be a big fan of you channel. 🤙🏼
Dang man... why did you take it to the dealer!? Could have consigned it or something. These go for crazy money right now and have always held such high values. Never sell to a dealer. Hopefully it worked out for you to get the loans all done with tho! Glad you enjoy the content!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I know, I actually lost a lot of money. 😭 but I just always hope for the best in the future. Once I paid off my student loan, will definitely buy a GTR again or maybe a Z. But ill wait till you get yours first so I can watch your review and insight. 😁 🤙🏼
I had 2008 JDM GT-R for 5 years and blew 3 transmissions and had all the known issues. Overall I spent 50k in repairs. Now I got a 2017 and it's much smoother but still has all the GT-R weird noises. Hopefully it won't cost so much in repairs. The 08 after putting 100k miles on it I sold it with 3000$ less than what I paid.
That sucks you had a lot of repairs with the first one. I guess that's what happens with first year car tho. That's probably an older car then our USDM 2009 models. So maybe there were more kinks to work out on that one. Glad the 2017 has been good! Most cases people don't see crazy repairs like that. At least you didn't loose money on depreciation
@@balancemode4112 I did second time transmission broke. I did a Jacks Transmission Drag 800 build with billet clutch baskets and everything else to handle 1000whp. Though my car was never 1000 whp. I just went FBO which is depending on fuel 700ish whp. Even so, after 45,000 on Jacks my clutch got damaged. Either bad tune or the clutch pack was not as reliable as advertised. I drove the car FBO 120,000km and the engine never had any issues besides the turbo oil feed line cracking on right side. (which happens to all CBAs)
I hate to call you out, but I felt there were a few facts you got wrong when you discussed the differences between the years and I'd like to address them incase you'd like to correct me if I'm wrong 1) you discussed differences in years being 09 to 10, 11 to 16 and 17 on up. From what I know 09 to 11 is the CBA. So named because if the computer control and they're all pretty much the same. 12 on up are all DBAs with 17 on up having the visual update of bumpers and interior. The main difference between the CBA and DBA comes from the turbo inlets, Transmission update, and AV update. CBA can be pretty much up graded to a DBA by getting the bumpers, inlets and av unit. 2) the CBA transmission issues are a myth. The issue with the CBA transmission was due to launch control (LC). The CBA originally came with LC1 which reved to high and sheered the gears. We are now on LC5 and most if not all CBA have bee updated to the new software. The other issue with the transmission can be fixed with TSB clips which cost $45. 3) when you talked about the suspension between the black and the premium.i think you must have had different model years. The suspension is the same across trim levels. In 2014 the revamped the suspension to make it softer in comfort mode
That’s some good info to really dive into things! I was being more general on the differences in the looks of the cars. Like how people can physically tell they are newer cars. But those are great tips to be technical!
I agree with you JD Archer! I have 2011 RDE800.. no issues! Nothing wrong on making a videos like this, but i hope the viewers will dig more and research more..
I wasn’t even in the market for a GTR. Hell, I’m 21 and drive a Honda CR-V and been driving for three years now. But this thing looks really nice and maybe if I save some money down the road: this would be an excellent toy. Nice video!
Keep working towards it and you can make it happen!!! At 21 you have a few years to really save up for it! Check out this video how I was able to buy mine and maybe this can give you some tips!! th-cam.com/video/m4FKKlAGdEk/w-d-xo.html
@@CPAJayhawk Ahhh I see what you mean! It’s actually been a pretty good daily! It was my only car for 4 years and worked great! Alittle tight if you have a family maybe.
20k miles or 50k miles - same price, just wait and you can snag a lower mileage car rack up miles then sell for the same price. Gtr prices have gone up 10-15k over the last year.
Love you videos! Now that I bought a house I’m looking for a GTR and man the prices have skyrocketed from late 2019 when I was looking before. I still screenshots of 2014s with low mileage going for low 60s. Now they’re pretty much mid to high 70s. I hope prices come back down but if this is the last R35 model year, they may never come down :-(
Yeah it's been crazy watching the market! Kinda sucks to get into one. But also sucks trying to upgrade. Any money I make on mine, I'll be spending 5X that just to get a newer one. Hopefully prices chill out a bit next year!
Exactly my thoughts. I’ve been saving and saving and I was waiting for the right time to finally get one and then COVID and supply issues happens and I’m back at being priced out. Makes me angry and depressed
Yeah it cool! I like the character that gives the car. But a lot of people won't like that. We get tons of comments from new GTR owners concerned something is wrong with the car. So it takes some getting used too
Thank you, very informative. A friend owned a Japanese version 94 Skyline GT-R (think version 32?) right-hand drive. 🤣That is where I learned a manual transmissions prevents 90% of thefts (so few now know how to drive)
i really, really want one and i can finally afford one. but with my current living situation, i do not want to street park a GT-R. i’ll keep driving my STi but one day i’ll have a garage and i’ll have a GT-R in that garage.
First buying guide that really didn't cover the CBA/DBA differences or the Launch Control differences. Also you seperated the years between the models very interestingly 09/10, 11/13, and 14/16. I always thought the biggest differnces we're the CBA cars (09-11), then (12-16 - DBA - with changes to launch control) and then the big makeover in 17.
I talked a bit about how 2014+ is when they revises suspension and transmission. And how the early cars really just need a transmission tune to be good. The visual side is what I talked about for the first few years with no foglight, and stuff like that. All great cars with small changes each year, 2017 being the biggest visual change
@@BrosFOURRSpeed True..transmission tuning will fix the major issues. My concern is the prior to 2011 years, the transmissions we're much more susceptible to failures because of the stock tune. It is nice that now the transmissions can be rebuilt (stronger and better), should you have any problems. I'm just trying to get everything straight.. cause i'm going to do my own purchasing guide. I've own my 2012 for more than 10 years.. so i've been through most of the common issues. I do really appreciate that you talked about how funky/weird the GTR sounds compared to most other sport cars. I think that's probably what surprises most folks new to the platform.
@@GoldenK9Campers oh very cool! Yeah with mine, I’ve owned it 5 years now. Never had a single issue with any aspect. Even being FBO Flex Fuel for two years now
@@BrosFOURRSpeed That's so awesome. I've had lots of issues.. but I have almost 130K on mine. So it's expected. For the most part.. it's been an awesome car. Maybe someday i'll Mod it !!!
Finally booked a 2021 Premium with the red interior package after watching your videos the last few years. As always, great content and very informative. Hoping to have mine delivered later this year. Those wheels look amazing - I believe they are Vossen? Can you share the specs? - NVM found the video! lol
Yeah I worked pretty hard for 10 years to be able to buy it! Best purchase I've ever made and it was well worth all the sacrifice! th-cam.com/video/m4FKKlAGdEk/w-d-xo.html
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I'm glad to hear this bud, I am in the market for a 2016 now and have probably watched every GTR review on the internet and blockchain now haha. Well done on saving, sounds like you really earned it
In 2020 I bought an Australian Spec Nissan R35 GT-R Black Edition 2013 with over 70,000kms on the odometer for AU$105K plus AU$$7K stamp duty. 2.5 yrs later I was forced to sell it because BHP Mining stopped access for me to my work and my pay because they attempted to bully me into accepting the experimental mRNA jab. I was lucky that I sold it for AU$150K. I paid off what I owned and Held the Line 🙂 I couldn’t fault the car. Bullet Proof is the best description for it and I went up against Porsche, BMW, Ford and Holden worked V8’s even a MacClaren and all of them ate my dust 😀 I bought a 2005 Skyline GT350 (love the car) and later a 2015 WRX (great car but no comparison) I miss my GT-R every day but it would be approx AU$160K (I’m writing this comment March 2023) and I’m gonna have to wait awhile before I repurchase my dream car. #GTR #GT-R #2013blackeditionrocks #holdtheline #israelisanapartheidstate #IsRealHell #nissangtr #gtr
What’s the name of the aftermarket rotors you use? I did catch the $110 brake pads by I believe Posi-Quiet. Anyhow, I’m definitely going for a 2014 and NEVER buying Euro EVER again. My CLS Class Benz has been a nightmare. Haha!
Still have stock rotors. Posi Quiet pads were on Car ID .com and they have a few different ones now. Been great! I felt with some Mercedes when I worked at a dealer. Those were pricey! Audi is certainly the best for reliability. New BMW's aren't too bad
I had 3 r35 gtrs a 10,13,20 the 20 had the nicest interior given it was a 50th anniversary I ended up selling the 20 and 13 kept the 10 cause imo they are the nicest looking. The 2020 still sounded like it was gonna break all the time lol just the way they are. Only thing I disliked about the new one was the look the front is ugly imo. But these are my favorite cars by far.
Oh man I love that 50th anniversary! I filmed a blue one last year and loved it! It's a nice step up from the first generation car for sure. All the GTR's certainly have a lot to offer and they are so fun!
Used GT-R prices are going up, too. And the 2021 model year is probably the last year for GT-R's of this ilk and it will likely be re-incarnated as a hybrid....... :(
Yeah its crazy to see the values climb! Good for me if I want to sell. But to replace mine with a newer one now were getting to $100k! So it's an aggressive market for these cars!
oh man now you really got me hooked up to get a GTR. I am thinking of getting one next year for sure, possibly 2016+, quick question which oil do you buy for the transmission, and how many bottles?
Make it happen! You'll love owning one. Such a unique car! They used Motul oil for the transmission and diffs. I can't remember exactly how much we used. But here's the video on that th-cam.com/video/kLOHzI9lC9g/w-d-xo.html
Well the biggest thing when buying a modified car is to make sure it was done correct and drives good. I would avoid buying modified cars just because so many people don't know what they are doing and you end up fixing their problems. Stock is always the way to go I think
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I agree with you ! It’s a special car for sure. He did a video 2 weeks ago about a mintly used GTR, and he just didn’t like it. He’s a little uppity and didn’t like the interior blah blah. Maintained and modded properly , the GTR is a killer
Yeah he's used to BMW cars. So this wont be his type of car then lol. GTR's are very raw and full of mechanical character. They keep you on your toes! Love the GTR!

With a GT-R you get a multi-page check sheet with explanations of the sounds and noises to expect. They define the GT-R as a supercar and to expect the unexpected. My 2020 has been great. The only thing I have noticed is reverse. When backing up it almost feels like the rear end is a solid axle which is amplified the more you turn the wheel. The steering remains centered but when you turn the wheel more, the resistance is sharply reduced. You feel you could easily handle any rally course driving with one finger. So at speed, 2 hands are required on the wheel to avoid over steering. At increased speeds, the handling is more planted and very comfortable.
Yeah I've heard about that when you buy a new one! Pretty funny. Mine does the same thing in reverse. Feels like the diff is locked. The GTR has speed sensing steering rack so it gets tighter the faster you go. It's really at home in high speed situations. Makes any drive super fun!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed as a daily, how often would this car feel at home? If I owned one, I wouldnt be able to make her feel at home that often.
Just so you know the issues are with the CBA models of 09-11 GTRs for Launch control braking the transfer case and other transmission issues. But if you talk to a place that knows what they are talking about like Cicio Performance (formerly Top Speed Motorsports) they can upgrade anything to handle the power you are trying to get to. And you can get a new 2015 bell housing installed so it will fix that rattle. And the car is heavy enough so adding wheels that weigh more is not the best thing as you should go for wheels that weigh less for that unsprung weight. Like changing out to CCB kit will be less weight and improve braking and handling because of the weight saving on unsprung weight.
Thats a cool tip. Luckily my wheels weigh within a pound of stock. And I'm sure there are some good upgrades for CBA cars to make them bullet proof
Bought my 2013 last September so happy I snagged up a low mile example before the prices started going up! Love you videos keep it up👍
That's awesome! You got lucky man! Great cars to have!
I love it when you post up about your GTR, because I watched all your videos about it before I bought myself one last November. I'm just glad I bought one before the prices went up. Keep up the good work!
Nice man! Glad you're enjoying the GTR! You did well then if you bought it at a good price! I've been looking a little bit and they are expensive!
Yes your older vids were my buyer guide for my now 2014 r35 :]
Hmm, yeah I think I'll pick one up after school tomorrow. Looks like a good daily.
Nice! Fun car for sure and can be used as a daily
Technically model year wise (for the US) the 2009-2011 are the CBA. 2012-2016 (start of the DBA) have the same front daytime lights (with the slightly different front fascia), a different rear diffuser, a white-ish LCD gauge cluster, and gray plastic interior trim rather than the CBA’s orange LCD cluster and more silver plastic trim inside. 2015 Nissan went to the first “lightning bolt” headlight design and to the ring LED taillights. 2017 and up have current body changes and interior design changes as you described. 2012 was really the first step in the right direction in terms of improved bell housing design and changing the launch control logic a bit. Shep also confirmed the 2012-2014 model year cars have the same transmission parts internally.
Great information! I think the transmission tuning is also a big difference between the ones that had issues and the good ones. The Cobb AP has been awesoem to update tunes on things
Thanks for this.. That's how I understood the major changes as well. Didn't know about the modified bell housing design in 2012.. That's helpful..
I literally maintain my 2014 Nissan Sentra SV 1.8L like it were a GTR. How you do anything is how you do everything. Started with a Versa. Climbing the ladder. Next will be an Altima, then a Maxima, then a Z, then a GTR.
Very true! Also, cars like this are hardly different then normal cars. I'm currently rebuilding my Lamborghini. It's no different then any basic car. Cars are all simple, take care of them, and they will take care of you. Keep working towards it! I went from the Scion tC to the genesis, then 370Z, Nismo, GTR and now a Lambo! You got this!
I went for the 2020 Bayside Blue and have not been disappointed in any way.
Oh I'm jealous!! I drove that car and it looks amazing and was soooo smooth! We'll see if I can swing a car that new when I pick up my second one lol
Hi! Thanks for checkin out the GTR video!
Best car Ive ever owned, on my 2nd one and dont regret it one bit , also I'm the same way when it comes to driving, if I don't drive it for more than a day I start getting anxious lol
That's awesome! These cars are addicting and I don't see not having one in the garage!
Second one
What do you do?
About to buy my first GTR. Picking it up this week! Finally getting my dream car
That's awesome! Best car ever. You'll love it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thanks man!! Got a killer deal. 2014. 2 owners clean title. 60k miles for 58k. Driving 11 hours back to Maryland!
@@GaryHwang You made a huge mistake lmao.
@@feo130 Yes i did...
@@GaryHwang Care to elaborate on why it was a mistake?
These are truly spectacular supercar killers, and also extremely involving and mechanical, a must have for any true car enthusiast
For sure! Still one of my favorite cars I've ever driven! Love this car ;)
I see Diego hooked you up with those wheels. He’s the man!
Yeah man he helped me out picking out the perfect specs for them! I still really like this setup!
Perfect timing. I am about to trade my Raptor in on either one of these or an R8.
Sweet! Both the R8 and GTR are fantastic cars to buy. Can't go wrong with either one!
-Screw all of em! Get a 94’ Celica.
Really liked this video. Found it to be very transparent. I used to work at Nissan dealer when I was younger and couldn’t afford it when they came out, been saving for a while then I saw how the clean low miles were finally in the low 60s. Only to then see them jump up away from me. It’s like every car I wanted to own growing up has become some collector’s obsession. I daily drive my cars. My only hope is that prices come down or I come across a ‘barn find” to make it happen. I’ll monitor your channel in case you ever decide to sell yours since it came from a good home.
Glad you liked the vid! Yeah it's crazy how the market jumped! I'm glad I own mine. But I can't really even think about upgrading it since a newer one will be $100k! Hopefully they chill out a bit. If I knew the market would have shot up. I would have picked up a few 2010 models for $45k and flipped them lol
Keep working toward it tho!
Conclusion if you going to mod your R35 to 800HP+ just go for 2008 CBA, since you already have to change the transmission parts which can handle 1000HP+ (Dodson , albine) even better than 2021 Nismo R35 . And guaranteed unlimited launch control no issue at all. That's the reason why 2008 CBA price still hold strong even all people say their transmission having issue, after market transmission even better than nissan not that expensive if you guys do research.
Great point! If you plan to rebuild the trans for over FBO power, might as well get the first few year cars! Awesome platform!
I'm interested in purchasing one when I get a job (am a teen like most GTR lovers) but what is CBA?
Coming back to this one day when I can afford one! Thanks
Keep up the hard work! Very attainable car if you budget well. I really enjoyed my ownership with it and will probably buy another one some day
Amazing review in my opinion. Gonna share this video with a friend because it's his dream car and he's looking to get one and he could use all these important information you shared as an actual owner. Thank you, sir
Thanks!! I have a ton of GTR content on the channel!
I kicked M4 in the curb. I had bmws i had audis, 3 evos, american muscle cars! I'm JDM awd turbo guy. Got GT-R 2 days ago, obsidian black ext color. I always go with black cars. Can't be more happy. I wish I got it sooner!!! never cared about GTRs until I drove one. I care less about look or interior. Insurance is cheaper then M4 was.
I watched every GT-R video of yours.
Btw. Where are you guys shopping for GT-R parts btw AMS is 10min from me. I'm looking already for mjdpipe and get Cobb new wheels. Etc.
Thats awesome to hear! GTR is really a one of a kind car that is nothing like other cars! Epic supercar! Pretty much everything I've put on my car is from AAM Competition. Great pricing on things and my car has ran fantastic!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I bought AAM Midpipe and installed it, Rohana wheels with 285 front 325 rear :) tires, I changed sparkplugs, engine oil, cabin filter, stage2 trans, new pads, rotors, engine filters, slight tint on windows. I'm ready for summer. Love the car! It feels like I'm flying a fighter jet! everything was done within a month! haha! oh and I have Cobb coming in the mail! so I can monitor things and re-learn tpms sensors. plus slight tune! cheers! when I hit small parking lot I put in manual- less jerky! it's the second gear really that makes them jerky in auto. but again my trans is more rough and I like the ROUGH feeling and I don't mind at all. :) 09 with 100k goes for 55k+ lol.
Brought my first gtr35 after watching this video.learnt lots 💯 coming from a Benz
Oh thats awesome! Been such blast of a car! I'm selling it now tho lol
Great videos ! My deep blue pearl 2015 GTR is in the mail !! Should have it next week. Thanks for all the videos !
Glad you like them! You're going to love your car. Thats a great color too!
I never clicked over so fast - I forsee a 2017 in your mind later on lol I think you said all the upgrades can be switched over- Awesome as usual Brian!
Thanks for checking out the video! Next year I'll start my search for my next GTR! The only thing I might need to get are different downpipes. And then just have them update my Accessport to support the newer car. Love these cars!
Love your car man, been following since you first got it. The r35 is my dream car, always has been. One day I’m hoping to own one 👍
Thanks for the support! It's definitely an amazing car to own! Keep working towards it and you'll get one in no time!
I’m in the same boat I want one of these too
Keep working towards it and you can do it!
I've been wanting this car since I was very young , it started with the R34 then R35 and I am buying my first R35 next month and my first R34 shortly after . Also only 23
Awesome man! Good job making it happen. You'll have a ton of fun with them!
How so fast ? Am about be 20 I wanna learn how to get one before 25.
Probably the best over view on these great cars I've seen.
Job well done......
Thanks man! I love the GTR and love sharing the experience!
If my crypto investment pays off, I'll be buying one.
Cool review mate! I love the rims of that GTR. As we say in Greece, "I wish nice trips with that".
Thanks man! I love the wheels too! Perfect setup!
I think this is the coolest GTR I’ve seen on TH-cam
I appreciate that! I love how my car has turned out and it's been a ton of fun!
Definitely not better then a Nismo but hey it's still a GTR
@@zhayloworld3102 Nismo was a heck of a lot of fun! I do like the GTR way more tho. But can see picking up another Z at some point and doing a twin turbo ;)
Well explained, all described, I feel I took the test drive myself just by listening well elaborated features, what to expect, etc.
Glad you liked it! Fantastic car for sure!
A 24 yr old wouldnt get Insurance in the UK for one. I am 38 and they asked me if I was over 30 and if I had proof that I had owned performance turbos cars in the last 2 years
Dang that sucks! Much better rules in the states for things like that!
I saw a TH-cam video about an alternative car battery good for 50 years made of 6 350farad supercapacitors, circuit board, resistors, a 4200mah 7.2 volt remote control car/truck battery, I ordered what’s needed, everything was put together and the alternative battery worked. I also saw another video about HHO (hydrogen) as car gas, I get everything needed for that too that was in the video and that works too. Fuel enriched air only when car is running do to electricity from the battery works just like regular gasoline and it’s emissions free
Is that 50 year battery actually available though or did someone just make one and say that?
Your choice of this car is absolutely amazing
Thanks! Love this car so much and it has been a blast!
I got to drive my buddy’s black 2010 back in 2013, to this day it remains the fastest most amazing car I’ve driven to date. I’ve also driven WRX STi’s, Supras, a Camaro ZL1, and some others and the GT-R is by far the best out of all them. Wish I could have gotten a second spin before he sold it!
Oh nice! I agree with that. I drive tons of cars doing review videos on. Nothing still can compare to the feeling of a GTR! Great cars!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed he
Is it because of the awd? Or handling? Im just asking because the Camaro is a beast
@@EJ.2000 it’s like the difference between a cheetah and a horse. They’re both fast as hell but one of them is just more slick, graceful and athletic than the other. They’re both fast as hell but they feel completely different.

Have to come back here, just sold my GTR. Another tip dealership will rip you off for the price. They will tell you stuff about how bad GTR is. They will treat the car like its a normal Sentra. It was a big lost for me, but I really have no choice since I have a student loan. If anyone own a GTR, DON’T sell it to dealership. 🤙🏼 will always be a big fan of you channel. 🤙🏼
Dang man... why did you take it to the dealer!? Could have consigned it or something. These go for crazy money right now and have always held such high values. Never sell to a dealer. Hopefully it worked out for you to get the loans all done with tho! Glad you enjoy the content!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I know, I actually lost a lot of money. 😭 but I just always hope for the best in the future. Once I paid off my student loan, will definitely buy a GTR again or maybe a Z. But ill wait till you get yours first so I can watch your review and insight. 😁 🤙🏼
I had 2008 JDM GT-R for 5 years and blew 3 transmissions and had all the known issues. Overall I spent 50k in repairs. Now I got a 2017 and it's much smoother but still has all the GT-R weird noises. Hopefully it won't cost so much in repairs. The 08 after putting 100k miles on it I sold it with 3000$ less than what I paid.
That sucks you had a lot of repairs with the first one. I guess that's what happens with first year car tho. That's probably an older car then our USDM 2009 models. So maybe there were more kinks to work out on that one. Glad the 2017 has been good! Most cases people don't see crazy repairs like that. At least you didn't loose money on depreciation
@@BrosFOURRSpeed knock on wood :). Are you a member of FB group Battalion30five?
you should’ve just went stage 2 trans upgrade and done for more power
@@balancemode4112 I did second time transmission broke. I did a Jacks Transmission Drag 800 build with billet clutch baskets and everything else to handle 1000whp. Though my car was never 1000 whp. I just went FBO which is depending on fuel 700ish whp. Even so, after 45,000 on Jacks my clutch got damaged. Either bad tune or the clutch pack was not as reliable as advertised. I drove the car FBO 120,000km and the engine never had any issues besides the turbo oil feed line cracking on right side. (which happens to all CBAs)
@@teabaggins3517 bellhousing?
Very humble dude.. great info
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video
I hate to call you out, but I felt there were a few facts you got wrong when you discussed the differences between the years and I'd like to address them incase you'd like to correct me if I'm wrong
1) you discussed differences in years being 09 to 10, 11 to 16 and 17 on up. From what I know 09 to 11 is the CBA. So named because if the computer control and they're all pretty much the same. 12 on up are all DBAs with 17 on up having the visual update of bumpers and interior. The main difference between the CBA and DBA comes from the turbo inlets, Transmission update, and AV update. CBA can be pretty much up graded to a DBA by getting the bumpers, inlets and av unit.
2) the CBA transmission issues are a myth. The issue with the CBA transmission was due to launch control (LC). The CBA originally came with LC1 which reved to high and sheered the gears. We are now on LC5 and most if not all CBA have bee updated to the new software. The other issue with the transmission can be fixed with TSB clips which cost $45.
3) when you talked about the suspension between the black and the premium.i think you must have had different model years. The suspension is the same across trim levels. In 2014 the revamped the suspension to make it softer in comfort mode
That’s some good info to really dive into things! I was being more general on the differences in the looks of the cars. Like how people can physically tell they are newer cars. But those are great tips to be technical!
I agree with you JD Archer! I have 2011 RDE800.. no issues! Nothing wrong on making a videos like this, but i hope the viewers will dig more and research more..
Nice to hear your car is good!
That was a Solid Video bro! Thanks for the info. God willing IM getting one next year!
Glad you liked it! GTR is a great car to own for sure! You'll love one
These cars are absolutely beautiful it’s my dream car, for now A Honda Type R will do but soon 😶🌫️
Type R is a great car! You'll love the GTR when the time comes! Best car ever!
Lucky as guy I really want a gtr too but for now ima settle with my beautiful 05 wrex
I wasn’t even in the market for a GTR. Hell, I’m 21 and drive a Honda CR-V and been driving for three years now. But this thing looks really nice and maybe if I save some money down the road: this would be an excellent toy. Nice video!
Keep working towards it and you can make it happen!!! At 21 you have a few years to really save up for it! Check out this video how I was able to buy mine and maybe this can give you some tips!! th-cam.com/video/m4FKKlAGdEk/w-d-xo.html

@@themallhunter2328 We appreciate it! The GTR has been the best car I’ve ever owned so you’d enjoy it!
one day ill come back here before i get mine hopefully
Nice man! GTR is a ton of fun to own!
Always dreamed of dailying one of these, just can’t stomach the $75-85k vs a “normal” daily
What would a normal daily price range be!? It’s been the best daily I’ve had! You would never be upset being behind the wheel!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed no, same price range, but a sports sedan or cross over, something more functional
@@CPAJayhawk Ahhh I see what you mean! It’s actually been a pretty good daily! It was my only car for 4 years and worked great! Alittle tight if you have a family maybe.
I’ve always wanted to own one it’s my dream car and I’m hoping to get one, one day!
Keep working hard and you’ll make it happen!
20k miles or 50k miles - same price, just wait and you can snag a lower mileage car rack up miles then sell for the same price. Gtr prices have gone up 10-15k over the last year.
Yeah the GTR's hold value too well! If you can get a low mileage car for a good price you'll be in great shape to resell!
Covid tax unfortunately
Had a 2014 trackpack, never had a problem,I drove it really hard
Yeah these are solid cars! Enjoyed mine for 5.5 years with 0 issues!
Love you videos! Now that I bought a house I’m looking for a GTR and man the prices have skyrocketed from late 2019 when I was looking before. I still screenshots of 2014s with low mileage going for low 60s. Now they’re pretty much mid to high 70s. I hope prices come back down but if this is the last R35 model year, they may never come down :-(
Yeah it's been crazy watching the market! Kinda sucks to get into one. But also sucks trying to upgrade. Any money I make on mine, I'll be spending 5X that just to get a newer one. Hopefully prices chill out a bit next year!
Exactly my thoughts. I’ve been saving and saving and I was waiting for the right time to finally get one and then COVID and supply issues happens and I’m back at being priced out. Makes me angry and depressed
My '14 evo FQ440 does the same with the clunking etc when engaging the clutch etc,but nothing is wrong.its just the engine doing its thing 😂❤
Yeah it cool! I like the character that gives the car. But a lot of people won't like that. We get tons of comments from new GTR owners concerned something is wrong with the car. So it takes some getting used too
Thank you, very informative. A friend owned a Japanese version 94 Skyline GT-R (think version 32?) right-hand drive.
🤣That is where I learned a manual transmissions prevents 90% of thefts (so few now know how to drive)
Very cool! I'd love to check out a Skyline one day and drive one!
I hope one day I can own a car like this, it would be amazing! 🤩
Just keep working towards it! You can do anything if you budget right. Live below your means and work hard!
I still wish I could drive one, let alone own one. I’m up here in WNC with a 2020 CTR
Keep working for it and you'll make it happen!
Very good video. I love the "odd" points you make. They are very relatable to me.
Glad you like it! mazing car to own! After 5 years tho I do have this for sale tho! www.championcarcompany.com/inventory/nissan/gt-r/271146/
One must for the gtr is lightning headlights
Yeah my car was 1 year aways form those ones!
i like this man's vedio about gtr
Thanks! Love sharing info on the GTR! Great car!
i really, really want one and i can finally afford one. but with my current living situation, i do not want to street park a GT-R. i’ll keep driving my STi but one day i’ll have a garage and i’ll have a GT-R in that garage.
Yeah I wouldn't want to either! When the right time comes, you'll love it!
First buying guide that really didn't cover the CBA/DBA differences or the Launch Control differences. Also you seperated the years between the models very interestingly 09/10, 11/13, and 14/16. I always thought the biggest differnces we're the CBA cars (09-11), then (12-16 - DBA - with changes to launch control) and then the big makeover in 17.
I talked a bit about how 2014+ is when they revises suspension and transmission. And how the early cars really just need a transmission tune to be good. The visual side is what I talked about for the first few years with no foglight, and stuff like that. All great cars with small changes each year, 2017 being the biggest visual change
@@BrosFOURRSpeed True..transmission tuning will fix the major issues. My concern is the prior to 2011 years, the transmissions we're much more susceptible to failures because of the stock tune. It is nice that now the transmissions can be rebuilt (stronger and better), should you have any problems. I'm just trying to get everything straight.. cause i'm going to do my own purchasing guide. I've own my 2012 for more than 10 years.. so i've been through most of the common issues. I do really appreciate that you talked about how funky/weird the GTR sounds compared to most other sport cars. I think that's probably what surprises most folks new to the platform.
@@GoldenK9Campers oh very cool! Yeah with mine, I’ve owned it 5 years now. Never had a single issue with any aspect. Even being FBO Flex Fuel for two years now
@@BrosFOURRSpeed That's so awesome. I've had lots of issues.. but I have almost 130K on mine. So it's expected. For the most part.. it's been an awesome car. Maybe someday i'll Mod it !!!
I recently bought a 2016 GTR premium close to 80k im not really worried about maintenance since i work on cars alot
Nice! Yeah I did all the maintenance on this car and it's super easy! Great car!
Finally booked a 2021 Premium with the red interior package after watching your videos the last few years. As always, great content and very informative. Hoping to have mine delivered later this year.
Those wheels look amazing - I believe they are Vossen? Can you share the specs? - NVM found the video! lol
Nice!! That's an awesome spec you're getting! That's what I'm looking for next GTR!

Did you get one?
im going to get an r35 oneday💯
Keep working hard towards it and it'll be a great feeling!! You got this!
A GTR at 24 years old...WOW. I think at 24 I got my first car that had power steering haha
Yeah I worked pretty hard for 10 years to be able to buy it! Best purchase I've ever made and it was well worth all the sacrifice!

Nice man! You'll love the 2016! They have the cool lightning bolt headlights, LED rings in the tails and no reverse beep ;)
@@BrosFOURRSpeed no reverse beep...SOLD! 😂😎
Haha yeah! That's why I want to upgrade to a newer one in a few years! Or at least one of the reasons!
In 2020 I bought an Australian Spec Nissan R35 GT-R Black Edition 2013 with over 70,000kms on the odometer for AU$105K plus AU$$7K stamp duty. 2.5 yrs later I was forced to sell it because BHP Mining stopped access for me to my work and my pay because they attempted to bully me into accepting the experimental mRNA jab.
I was lucky that I sold it for AU$150K. I paid off what I owned and Held the Line 🙂
I couldn’t fault the car. Bullet Proof is the best description for it and I went up against Porsche, BMW, Ford and Holden worked V8’s even a MacClaren and all of them ate my dust 😀
I bought a 2005 Skyline GT350 (love the car) and later a 2015 WRX (great car but no comparison)
I miss my GT-R every day but it would be approx AU$160K (I’m writing this comment March 2023) and I’m gonna have to wait awhile before I repurchase my dream car. #GTR #GT-R #2013blackeditionrocks #holdtheline #israelisanapartheidstate #IsRealHell #nissangtr #gtr
Yeah these cars are amazing! Mine is for sale now tho. Been a great 5 years but I'm ready to change it up!
I’m just sitting back waiting for the 2013-2015 year models with low mileage to drop around 68-79k
Maybe they will make it back there! I bought mine in that range 5 years ago so we’ll see!
Should I get a GTR for my first car? I have been looking at it for a year now and I really want it
If you can afford one sure! Such a fun car! Don't don't get into trouble being such a fast car ;)
Get an 09-10 if you want to heavily modify it flash the trans and upgrade it you will be fine
That's cool that the tune for the TCM seems to solve most of the issues on the first generation car!
Well done bro, great explanation! Very honest and great tips
What’s the name of the aftermarket rotors you use? I did catch the $110 brake pads by I believe Posi-Quiet. Anyhow, I’m definitely going for a 2014 and NEVER buying Euro EVER again. My CLS Class Benz has been a nightmare. Haha!
Still have stock rotors. Posi Quiet pads were on Car ID .com and they have a few different ones now. Been great!
I felt with some Mercedes when I worked at a dealer. Those were pricey! Audi is certainly the best for reliability. New BMW's aren't too bad
Nice!
As a gtr r35 owner, what do you do for living?
TH-cam is full time for me!
Cant wait to buy mine
Yeah these are some fun! Had mine for 5.5 years and loved every bit of it!
Love it! Sucks mine had so many issues
Crazy right. ? Maybe it was a lemon? I was like can't be right. Again ? Are you going to get another one ? I feel like you like muscle cars more...
Yeah really. Odd to get electrical issues with a GTR. Maybe one day you'll be back in the JDM world! lol
When the cars value goes up, it kinda helps justify spending 70k on a used one
It does! Best purchase I've ever made and its been so much fun!
Awesome video bro! I'm in the market to buy a GTR and this video helped a lot!
Nice! You'll love the GTR! Best car ever for sure. Tons of fun

Awesome awesome video man! Loved it 👍
Thanks a ton!
A gearbox replacement in the uk is around £18,000 frighteningly expensive
Dang thats a lot! Over here people tend to do re-builds with cost a lot less. But from what I've seen, updating the TCM tune prolongs the life a lot

I had 3 r35 gtrs a 10,13,20 the 20 had the nicest interior given it was a 50th anniversary I ended up selling the 20 and 13 kept the 10 cause imo they are the nicest looking. The 2020 still sounded like it was gonna break all the time lol just the way they are. Only thing I disliked about the new one was the look the front is ugly imo. But these are my favorite cars by far.
Oh man I love that 50th anniversary! I filmed a blue one last year and loved it! It's a nice step up from the first generation car for sure. All the GTR's certainly have a lot to offer and they are so fun!
The first years are the best looking. Looking to get an 09 with 11k miles….stock and keeping it that way
Used GT-R prices are going up, too. And the 2021 model year is probably the last year for GT-R's of this ilk and it will likely be re-incarnated as a hybrid....... :(
Yeah its crazy to see the values climb! Good for me if I want to sell. But to replace mine with a newer one now were getting to $100k! So it's an aggressive market for these cars!
oh man now you really got me hooked up to get a GTR. I am thinking of getting one next year for sure, possibly 2016+, quick question which oil do you buy for the transmission, and how many bottles?
Make it happen! You'll love owning one. Such a unique car! They used Motul oil for the transmission and diffs. I can't remember exactly how much we used. But here's the video on that

@@BrosFOURRSpeed perfect, thanks a lot!!!
No problem! Been nothing to maintain!
Hope to buy one soon !
Make it happen! It's a lot of fun and can do so much!
I love this video and Now ik what year I’m getting thanks a lot bro!!
Nice! Love the GTR for sure, and they are all well worth buying!
Can you do a video about buying a tuned like FBO e85 vs stock?
Well the biggest thing when buying a modified car is to make sure it was done correct and drives good. I would avoid buying modified cars just because so many people don't know what they are doing and you end up fixing their problems. Stock is always the way to go I think
You did a lot of vids with this car right good 🚗
Yeah I have quite the library of GTR videos! Super fun car!
This was a hit video to Thicc Whips channel 😂 I love the GTR. Legendary car PERIOD
GTR is amazing! I havent seen his on a GTR. But I definitely love the car! Unlike anything else!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I agree with you ! It’s a special car for sure. He did a video 2 weeks ago about a mintly used GTR, and he just didn’t like it. He’s a little uppity and didn’t like the interior blah blah. Maintained and modded properly , the GTR is a killer
Yeah he's used to BMW cars. So this wont be his type of car then lol. GTR's are very raw and full of mechanical character. They keep you on your toes! Love the GTR!
I love your GT-R content. Record about this car as long as you can. Don't ever sell it !!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoy the content! I'll have a GTR in the garage for a long long time!
Great Video this is one best car i like a lot with a VictorRacing Nissan active wing
Thanks! I really enjoyed my ownership with it! Great car for sure!
i can confirm the 10k rebuild cost for the bad 2010 transmission
Oh dang! I've also seen that updating the tune on the transmission goes a long way and is the main reason for failure of the early cars
This was amazingly helpful.
Most of you would consider me a "grandpa" - I'm 60 and live like I'm 25 lol.
I have some fun toys, and I'm about to add a 2009 GT-R.
Thanks my friend. - you gave me some fantastic info.
My cars? Oh yes. - I have a 2021 GT500 - 2023 Corvette Z51 - 2017 Grand Sport C7 7speed - and soon the GT-R.
Be safe! Have fun! - your friend, Grampy!
Thanks for checking out the video!
Brian dropping that knowledge... Imma just buy yours!
haha thanks man! In a few more years I'll be selling mine ;)
GTR is a great car to have for sure!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Shh that's top secret info. Thanks for sharing man! Keep up the great work!
