The NISSAN GT-R R35 BUYERS GUIDE | Common Problems & Quirks

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This Nissan GT-R buying guide is here to help you identify the expensive pit falls when shopping for your very own Nissan GT-R.

    If you guys ever wanna buy older GTRs like 2009+ it has stickers on the hood, fenders, rear trunk. That way you know that the car was never in an accident. As you can't Buy replacement stickers that came with the car. It has vin number on them. Love how people say older GT-Rs have issues, you buying used car. You never know what you getting yourself into. Knew a guy with 2017 that had plenty of issues like a lemon 😂

    Good tip. I had an 09, drove it for 150,000 km. Transmission broke, 1 was tsb clip, then I had clutch b basket breaking. I also had water in lights, av unit died. Other than that it was solid. I have a 2017 now and zero issues so far. I am sure newer ones are more reliable because they ironed out issues every year. This is available pretty much for any car not just GT-R. First year model usually has issues.

    @@StreetDrivenDaily when my basket B broke I shipped a trans from Jacks to Japan where I live because building a trans here is more like 30,000 $. Jacks was just 10,000$... The clutch baskets though, I think 2017 are same as 2009 so probably mine will blow up at some point. The Jacks trans was starting to act up after 40,000km so I decided to just sell and buy another one. Incredibly sold it for almost same price I paid for it.. So overall the only cost in 7 years of ownership was the maintenance. I was FBO for 100,000km and engine had zero issues. Reliable car

    Feel stupid asking this.. but the lock to lock maneuver.. what exactly is this? Can you explain more.. Is that hard acceleration while making manuevers with steering wheel. How would you do this on a test drive.. not exactly on a track? confused. What's the concern with wheelhop from front and not rear? Is this because transmission should be using rear wheels.. and not front.. and only use front when rear is slipping?

  • @ScottishCarClan

    @ScottishCarClan

    Жыл бұрын

    No stupid questions here! The r35 front diff is completely open and should allow completely independent wheel rotation so excess wheel hop from the front suggests something isn’t right. No need to acceleration heavily, just slow speed manoeuvring will show any problems.
