one of my favorite all time cars. just incredible. Everyone says this car feels robotic and cold but w/ all the history and pedigree, its definately not cold
What an amazing car...I will buy ten if I hit the lottery tomorrow. This is probably the most review supercar in the world. Even the Alien Top Gear guys are impressed. Best supercar in the Universe...
no, actually nissan released new software for the launch control that's easier on the clutch and doesn't void the warranty. it gives the exact same performance figures too.
If I had one of these, it would probably be my everyday driver. I have an 07 350z, and it's my only car. Add AWD and a back seat, and yeah.. I'd be pretty much set.
I love the passion that went into building this car. It has a handbuilt engine, mercs and ferraris charge u hundreds of thousands of dolars because its "hand built". Hand built is a tactic a ploy to charge heavily...this has the same passion, brute honest performance and fair honest pricing. Always love nissan, always had one in the garage, always will, they just offer a bit more than other japanees cars. Nissan wont make much profit on it coz its very expensive to build and priced low.
@hamdanae Cars are heavily taxed in europe based on how much Co2 they produce, the displacement of the engines, type of fuel etc. Which is why small diesel cars are very popular in european countries
It does 0-60 in 3.2s stock on numerous magazine. And the new 2012 Nissan GT-R now has 530 hp instead of 485 hp and have 488 pound feet of torque verse 434. And it beat the Corvette ZR1 by 2 full second on the famous German ring on slightly wet track.
@michaelball123 no, they didn't drop the skyline name. the older gtr's (r32, r33, r34, etc.) were all based on the nissan skyline. but this time round, they wanted a bespoke chassis. so they don't call it a skyline anymore because it isn't a skyline. the skyline is the infiniti g37 in japan.
Yes but the torque is inmediatli with no lag and diesel low torque. Max torque from 3200 to 5200 rpms not like supercars that have all at end. And for 1000€ you can have a 570HP and 90 ft-tq improvement (121.5 NM) with COBB Acessport. Or for 10000€ you can have the HKS GT680, or hensessey's V700 for 15.000€
I'm with you man. It's a high maintenance fickle thing. I'll take a simple-as-stone Lotus Elise. I wish more people understood the purchase price vs cost of ownership relationship. Cheers man!
@reavrr: in fact, it's exactly the same as the DSG in a Golf.....a double clutch gearbox, and VW were actually the first to sell such a gearbox......(But Porsche created it 25 years ago!)
more so than any of those, the pagani zonda, Ive been to the factory, there are no robots, no crafting machines, even the carbon chasis is baked by hand in a GIANT autoclave...
this car beats virtually every £100,000 supercar... except for one... the corvette zr1. choosing between the two would be like choosing between carmen electra and keeley hazell!
why did BMW M3/5 jump from inline 6 to V8? because for some reason V engine is the answer to coventional supercars and no one really use inline 8 or over anymore coz apparently it's now only used in ships.
I so want one. too bad all roads in our country are sh*t. Bumps everywhere, always repairing etc ect. Still, I think it's better than some italian roads.
I think there marketing team supersedes your "honest opinion". This car is a huge departure from the skyline of yesteryear, and anyone with enough money for thing can see past the name
@reavrr: the speed difference can't be felt by a human being, maybe with a P4 (not even with an old 386...), because both of the gearbox have no torque cut! The difference with the Nissan'one is it can handle more torque and that's all!
@chainsawboy1996 exactly but you have to commend nissan for making this KITT (knight rider) like car. I mean you don't see this kind of car everyday right? as for the R34, in my opinion was created for racing enthusiast. ALL HAIL the SKYLINE!!!!
it took the fastest production car in the world, the bugatti veyron, 7:40 around the ring?? thats pretty damn slow for what i was expecting it to do...
it's a 90,000 dollar, 4,000 pound, hyped up Nissan that has a crap ton of warranty issues, and costs an arm and a leg to actually own. Oh! BTW! Only Nissan Master Technicians are even allowed to look at the damn thing. how much do you think an oil change costs? Oh wait, don't forget! Every 60,000 miles you have to have the engine sent out to get the cylinder walls re-coated with this substance that reduces friction with the pistons. (I'm a Nissan Tech. I hate the GT-R)
@aaron34nismo if English is not your native language, he did mention the flaws because "it's his job to do so", otherwise it will be another Clarkson-rip-off, which, to be very honest, is more annoying
When will ppl start thinking and saying all the facts. Yea it did run the Nur in 7min 38, but with run-flat tyres... With normal tyres it would never go around in that time.
@MichaelCoolGuy86 by the way the people that buy GT-Rs are the same people that buy lambos and high end sports cars. im sure they can afford an oil change or just buy another GTR altogether lol.
Marketing 101, who gives a crap about the name, they could have called it 5hit80x 800 for all I care, it would still be the popular sports car it is today because of what it can do and bang for the buck.
beats any car! not neccessarily in looks (i love the sharp, stiff looks a LOT :D), but just pure fun :) no damn porsche, oh noo :D not even the R8, though i like that too, or an Enzo, oh noo :D R35 GT-R all the way! :)
do you guys even live in the US????? I live in LA and not even the nice part and Iv seen several! A RED ONE JUST PAST MY HOUSE!!! xD wow great timing! lol
sorry you would need more than $5k to have a civic run laps around a GTR, maybe on a 1/4 mile, maybe (2nd hand turbo kit, then have the Civic gutted). on any lap any day, I dont think so.
who buys a 90k dollar car and puts a tone of miles on it.. u wouldnt do that 2 a lambo or ferrari or nuthing high class..people that own a skyline dont drive 50miles 1 way to work everyday for 9 years..that car would be lucky to see 60k miles
one of my favorite all time cars. just incredible. Everyone says this car feels robotic and cold but w/ all the history and pedigree, its definately not cold
Probably the best review of this car
What an amazing car...I will buy ten if I hit the lottery tomorrow. This is probably the most review supercar in the world. Even the Alien Top Gear guys are impressed. Best supercar in the Universe...

This car is really as fast as Nissan and automotive review claims. I imported one from japan and it arrived on xmas eve.
@hamdanae Cars are heavily taxed in europe based on how much Co2 they produce, the displacement of the engines, type of fuel etc. Which is why small diesel cars are very popular in european countries
Agreed on the ZR1.... but the GT-R is in a completely different class than even the new M3
My dream car Lol One day will be in my garage.
My fav car of all time. Even if I was a millionaire I would have one of these.
It does 0-60 in 3.2s stock on numerous magazine. And the new 2012 Nissan GT-R now has 530 hp instead of 485 hp and have 488 pound feet of torque verse 434. And it beat the Corvette ZR1 by 2 full second on the famous German ring on slightly wet track.

best car! best performance! value for money..

Listen at 4:03 thats the turbo whistle......Sounds like the turboes of a veyron....
I'm with you man. It's a high maintenance fickle thing. I'll take a simple-as-stone Lotus Elise.
I wish more people understood the purchase price vs cost of ownership relationship.
Cheers man!
@ImprezaRacerSTi
finally thank you so much for your help
@GenAdams i agree, the muscular look runs in the family of all Skyline's, a phenomenal 0-60 in 3.5 secs and its economical, happye faces all round :]
Jason Plato was really annoyed with how good it is because he bought a Porsche 997 turbo for more than three times the price of the GTR..
The greatest car. Ever.
@reavrr: in fact, it's exactly the same as the DSG in a Golf.....a double clutch gearbox, and VW were actually the first to sell such a gearbox......(But Porsche created it 25 years ago!)
agree, they should have stayed using the same shape with a little facelift. that would make the NSX go way quicker.
the "heavenly" music at 5:10-end is from TimeSplitters: Future Perfect lawl
Cool didn't know a V spec was coming thanks
It's assembled by 14 highly trained ninjas and it's got more technology then Tokio :D
more so than any of those, the pagani zonda, Ive been to the factory, there are no robots, no crafting machines, even the carbon chasis is baked by hand in a GIANT autoclave...
chuck a porsche badge on the front if you want but they'll charge you an extra $100,000 for the same car!
7:38 in nurburgring thats old...they did it in 7:26 now
this car beats virtually every £100,000 supercar... except for one... the corvette zr1. choosing between the two would be like choosing between carmen electra and keeley hazell!
I...MUST...HAVE...THIS...CAR!
wow that awesome car only costs 30 grand in japan me wants !!!
why did BMW M3/5 jump from inline 6 to V8? because for some reason V engine is the answer to coventional supercars and no one really use inline 8 or over anymore coz apparently it's now only used in ships.
there are only few cars that is handcrafted. the 1st generation NSX and this GTR and the LFA.
where my father works somebody actually has that car, and i live down south
drifting baby. thats some nice drift...
i prefer it in grey with that rims.
Can someone please tell me what the music is at the start of this film? it sounds amazing but cannot get what it is! thank you.
@blackjack7154 it did ... check nurburgring lap times
I so want one. too bad all roads in our country are sh*t. Bumps everywhere, always repairing etc ect. Still, I think it's better than some italian roads.
Love this car I prefer it to my SLS GT AMG
whats the diffrence between gtr premium and r35 gtr
how about the R34? the older brother of this GTR?
well opinion or not, obviously the car is a success, so you can say what you want about their marketing strategy concerning the name.
I think there marketing team supersedes your "honest opinion". This car is a huge departure from the skyline of yesteryear, and anyone with enough money for thing can see past the name
@reavrr: the speed difference can't be felt by a human being, maybe with a P4 (not even with an old 386...), because both of the gearbox have no torque cut! The difference with the Nissan'one is it can handle more torque and that's all!
well what do you expect from a high performance automobile ?
wow only 30,000 pounds for that back in japan? those lucky bastards
Way better review than TopGear.
i agree
hand-assembled by a team of just 14 highly-trained ninjas
lol
if you can afford to buy it in the first place, maintenance costs should not be a worry to you.
no top gear did the best review on the gt-r
GO AND SCARE THAT 911 TURBO!!!!
@chainsawboy1996 exactly but you have to commend nissan for making this KITT (knight rider) like car. I mean you don't see this kind of car everyday right? as for the R34, in my opinion was created for racing enthusiast. ALL HAIL the SKYLINE!!!!
They been here for awhile already.
it took the fastest production car in the world, the bugatti veyron, 7:40 around the ring?? thats pretty damn slow for what i was expecting it to do...
@ajayjohnson2 Yea, but Plato can actually drive..
i must say, i have found this a bit wierd but when i see a R33 or R32, some time after i see a GT-R, iv seen 7 GT-Rs in real life, saw 1 yesterday :D
until you engage launch control and it falls to bits..
with taxes and import fees?
im getting this car when im in my 30s!!!
"a great... bit of metal"
it's a 90,000 dollar, 4,000 pound, hyped up Nissan that has a crap ton of warranty issues, and costs an arm and a leg to actually own. Oh! BTW! Only Nissan Master Technicians are even allowed to look at the damn thing. how much do you think an oil change costs? Oh wait, don't forget!

@sarzamineiran
these can be bought second hand in japan for just 50,000 USD now days........ so maybe not :P
@aaron34nismo
if English is not your native language, he did mention the flaws because "it's his job to do so", otherwise it will be another Clarkson-rip-off, which, to be very honest, is more annoying
Launch control is not meant to launch the car!!! (according to nissan)
my uncle said he'll order a GTR
Idk if he will, but I hope so
@wjezzer if i had one of these i would drive this thing single everyday...
ZR1 baby!!!
A gt3 rs could man handle this.
explain how.
Um, the three Rs arent as good as it gets... you can turn the last R completely to off on the traction...
When will ppl start thinking and saying all the facts. Yea it did run the Nur in 7min 38, but with run-flat tyres... With normal tyres it would never go around in that time.
ya cause a golf would run laps around the g35.. lol. you can put $5k into a civic that would destroy the g35, but it's still a civic..
it worth 30k, but he said uk taxes will push it to 60k, is he serious?!
@MichaelCoolGuy86 by the way the people that buy GT-Rs are the same people that buy lambos and high end sports cars. im sure they can afford an oil change or just buy another GTR altogether lol.
Marketing 101, who gives a crap about the name, they could have called it 5hit80x 800 for all I care, it would still be the popular sports car it is today because of what it can do and bang for the buck.
WTF WITH THE SCREEN AT THE BEGINNING
@DemonOfRazgriz89 i know right ;) looool
because you just compared the R35 GTR with a corvette...and carmen electra is old now.
beats any car! not neccessarily in looks (i love the sharp, stiff looks a LOT :D), but just pure fun :)
no damn porsche, oh noo :D not even the R8, though i like that too, or an Enzo, oh noo :D R35 GT-R all the way! :)
do you guys even live in the US????? I live in LA and not even the nice part and Iv seen several! A RED ONE JUST PAST MY HOUSE!!! xD wow great timing! lol
great review. Looks manlier than the M3, in my opinion. U need this and a cool chick, not hot; otherwise, plain golddigger. Good job to Nissan ill say
sorry you would need more than $5k to have a civic run laps around a GTR, maybe on a 1/4 mile, maybe (2nd hand turbo kit, then have the Civic gutted). on any lap any day, I dont think so.
just got one and yes...its fucking amazing
If you give me a Bugatti Veyron, I'll sell it and buy a Nissan GTR R35.
@kalormon
pilot maybe :D
And why the fuck would you buy a R35 if you know u can't afford to maintain it ?
Can I get one for 50 quid a week? Didn't think so...
MichaelCoolGuy86: The only reason you hate the GTR is because your stuck in some shitty dealership working on micras and leafs.
im aware of that ,mate
@ajayjohnson2 A.K.A. never let young people drive
there's only one music here kid.. it's called revs
Enzo and zonda is not cheap but can a corvette speed over 210mphand up to 240mph? NO....
who buys a 90k dollar car and puts a tone of miles on it.. u wouldnt do that 2 a lambo or ferrari or nuthing high class..people that own a skyline dont drive 50miles 1 way to work everyday for 9 years..that car would be lucky to see 60k miles
GO GO GODZILLA!!!
haha that guy needs a face palm now
what job would you need to get one of those? lol
3:47 What kinda laugh is that? lol
