Is The Nissan GT-R Too Old? | 2016 GT-R Review!

- The Nissan GT-R is one of the defining cars of this century, offering 6-figure supercar beating performance when it came out. Engineered to an obsessive standard of excellence, the technology it offered allow this latest generation of GT-R to set lap records and embarrass Italian exotics. But now this generation has been around for nearly a whole decade, and it is starting to show its age. Is it still as impressive as it used to be?

You sound so genuine Eddie. It’s better to stay this way than successful like Virgin Vehicle.
than you for the kind words
Yeh Solomondrin taught Parker how to lie fans about lease cars
because they are liers you idiot.
Lord Jesus yeh man tell him that. Solomondrin leases his house and says he bought it. Also about Rolls Royce who knows about McLaren and others cars. NO WONDER he doesnt drive more than 3000 miles or 4000 miles. I am fucking sure Parker leases his house in California and says he bought it.
I like your show better! Keep it up and thank you.
The R35 is like the modern day supra. 10+ years from now finding a stock GTR will be like finding a stock original hard top supra today. I think what’s special about the GTR is there’s this presence it gives off. That there is nothing lesser of GTR Nissan makes. Every time I see one I get a little excited like it’s the first time seeing one. Might just be me but it never gets old. No one asks what year GTR you have. They just knows it’s something special and a mystery. Is it stock? Is it 600hp is it 1200+hp who knows? This car is doing exactly what it was made to do. TO GO REALLY FUCKING FAST!!!
Seriously every time I see the R33 or this new one on the road I freak out. Shit even seeing Evos and RX7s. Everyone who knows about these cars will appreciate them no matter how “old” they are
Wow its kind of crazy how this car was "the future" when it came out and now its just blended in with everything :o
john m I agree, they increased its ptice mainly cause of popularity, they failed to realize that now even an entry level ferarri (portofino?) Is on par with it atleast if not better, also for its price you can get an M5, jaguar f typer R etc the gtrs desogn especially is such a turn off as well imo
agree with what you guys are saying, they have waited far too long to advance this car. needs updates!
EddieX yep! :) Im sure their sales will suffer for this 💀
I remember watching the World's Greatest Drag Race that had the GTR and the Aventador. Both of them were millisecond apart across the finish line. Then a while ago, I watched a newer iteration of WGDR(2017), this time with a newer GT-R NISMO. The GTR came 4th.
Still one of my dream rides, they definitely helped set the pace and who doesn’t love that exhaust note 👌🏼
*Drives a GTR and never goes full throttle* Quality content boys, way better than Parker.
What a great video! Keep up the good work.
So so glad you mentioned it feeling engaging and not boring. I’ve only driven one softly for a few miles but my friends who’ve driven them for longer distances said they were bored and it felt too computerized and did not feel exciting. Since then I’ve always wondered just how it could feel boring and I kinda turned away from them but this gives me hope that it may be a good car for me in the future. Nothing sounds boring to me about 500+hp and awd for some awesome launches, not to mention one of the best sounding V6s I’ve ever heard. Great review man, this was a home run.
I love that the gtr doesn't really change. Let's face it. When you look at Japanese cars they've always been that car you get and do something to. To me the gtr sticks to its roots 100% you can always rely on a gtr to be what you'd expect. And that's a Japanese car.
Spot on review Eddie. As a 2014 GT-R owner, you opinions are very close to my own.
Hey, I'm planning on buying a GT-R next year and I was wondering, is it worth to pay a bit extra over the CBA to get the DBA?
FY Y what's cba and dba
CBA refers to Nissan's terminology for timing strategy in model year 2008 - 2010 (US MY 2009 - 2011) GT-R.
DBA refers to Nissan's terminology for timing strategy in model year 2011 - 2013 (US MY 2012 - 2014) GT-R.
DBA has upgrades including bigger brakes, transmission upgrades, softer suspension, larger turbo inlets, front bumper, different wheels, and a few other things.
Spend a little extra for the DBA.
Yes it might be old. It might not be fast. But if you had a chance to buy a clean R34 I guess it would still be pretty tough to turn down. A GTR is a GTR in my opinion. Old Godzilla is still Godzilla💪💪
Great in depth analysis.
What’s is the the difference between bolt on and if you take it to alpha performance for a upgrade and tune? Also what is a bolt on anyway?
Eddie, always good to see you with another video up!
Where are you getting your stats (02:30) on the new mid engine Ferrari (488) destroying the GTR? Is there some new Ring lap time they have done or something?
Stock Vs stock, the 488 will beat a GTR in the quarter mile by significantly over half a second. Take a look at VIR lap times, the 488 demolishes the GTR
Great review I love it
That's Godzilla right there💪🏽💪🏽🐊
would buying a 2016 Nissan GTR now be a waste of money? or would it one better just to go for a 18-20?
2016 just cause they are cheap atm and cost less sort of a bang for your buck what Im looking at just need others opinions. Thanks :)
If you see the 2017 facelift the interiors doesn t feel dated
Seeing that this car is so old and can still keep up with modern cars says something
The R36 is soon to come
I have been in that one, a friend bought a new one. That was just a minor change tho, I do not think it is enough to make it competitive enough.
EddieX or make it worth a 120k lmao buy a old beat up one with some issues for stupid cheap then send it out to AMS or T1 and get it rebuilt with better parts and more power for less then buying a brand new one bone stock. You can buy 2009 for next to nothing exspecaily if they have issues then mod them anyway you want rip the dash out put a carbon one in with a digital motec display and it would look modern again.
great review.
I fall in love with this gtr
nice review.
Thank you!
Why did u stop rating cars u review?
I remember u used to rate them based on "how much do I want it"
was not sure how much that was adding to the review, I shall try to start doing that again
Godzillas are getting old, but they're still a godzilla.
Says it has exhaust mods, never shoots flames.... Is it really a GT-R then?
shhhh im slow on the upgrades :/
I don't think a overall great car is ever too old. Just look at all the 60's, 70's 80's and 90's even early 2000's year old cars are still favorites and loved by many.
heres the deal with the GTR, it has not aged like a normal car would, normally there is one refresh with a few little updates, the GTR on the other hand has radically changed every two years. everything from chassis components, suspension set up, tires, power, turbo boost levels, state of tune, cooling changes, interior changes, exhaust changes, steering, internal engine components, and PRICE. the GTR is now double what it cost in 09. most manufactures would have saved most of the updates nissan has made nearly every 2 years and just made a whole new car with JUST the updates nissan continuously does to the GTR.
I loved this car when I was in high school. This car really needs a complete overhaul.
I've got a question, Eddie: do you think the next generation GT-R (if they make it...) will actually be a success? Because a lot of cars in the price point are massively superior than it at the minute!
I hope it is! I have no idea, I can imagine the kinds of things they would have to do to make it competitive.
If it’s not broken why fix it?
i'm not a big fan of the GTR but I remember when it launched and it was really ahead of it's time so I really don't find it old actually I like the styling of it
I can't afford one but it's still a dream car for me. I'm near Toronto, Ontario so a quick auto trader search reveals 35 GT-Rs for sale within 250 km of me. Cheapest one is a 2009 for $58000 (about $45000 USD) with 101000 km on it (about 62000 miles). Still too expensive, especially considering it's most likely had the shit driven out of it. But I still love them.
never gets old
Over 4 years later and we are still waiting for the R36. Honestly this type of approach to cars is what keeps me away from Nissan. They are SO SLOW to evolve their designs and would rather keep selling inferior products because it requires less investment. The GTR came out almost 17 YEARS AGO. 2 years after the 6th generation Corvette came out, and now they are already 3 years into the 8th generation! The Titan is outdated, frontier was severely outdated until last year, and the "new" Z uses a lot of the same parts as the 370Z which came out around 09 I believe. Just crazy.
Would you say the Z06 today does what the GTR did in 2009??
More videos please 🙏🏻
I shall try!
It's day has passed--particularly when you see what the Nismo version is going for and put it up against more modern cars in that price range. But--it was an icon for many years. Always thought the interior was too "Ginza after dark," as one car mag guy called it. Lots of good info, but poorly organized.
I considered buying a used 2015 GTR but the forums have too many scare stories of excessive costs for servicing and parts of GTRs. One guy had some part (mostly electronic) go and got a bill for circa $12K for the part alone!
+Paul Fairchild.. Pay the extra for a warranty. If you get a stock one with low miles and a full warranty, you'll be fine.
+Mike Harkins. Thanks. I'll seriously consider that.
+Paul Fairchild.. Its worth it, trust me. The GTR is incredibly expensive to maintain(unless you are a car guru who can really work on engines and cars). Having that warranty is huge should anything happen. I mean come on, if you buy a GTR it is probably because you want to enjoy it, so if the tranny were to go, on any engine issue, you would be in HUGE trouble if you are not covered. I am not sure what the warranties are like on the GTR's, but I am assuming they are not all that long like many other performance cars.. But yeah, its like owning a BMW or MErcedes. There is a reason a $100K car is only $10-$15K only 10 years later. It is because after the warranty expires, no one could afford to upkeep a used one where every single small issue is a thousand dollars lol.. Just routine service changes on the GTR are like $2,000 if you get them done from a dealership.
How exactly does a modern car like the GT-R feel old?
Old as in Nissan doesn’t update it. Even though it’s modern car, it’s 10 year old tech.
exactly how i explained it. refinement of the transmission and ride, interior technology and quality, the way it drives.
Do you thin with the 2009 versions having transmissions issues are worth picking up?
this model is now 14 years old...
all i hear about this car is that its not fun to drive. I still haven't driven one to this day. Hopefully will borrow someone's car to try one of these days.
Nissan needs next gen Z and GTR
do a 17 NSX review man cmon lol
Uh oh, there’s a cop somewhere lol
Wrinkles in rear seats bother me.
..this car is still the best bang for the buck....
that wrinkles in the backseats bother me so much
Well its still a Nissan.
It still kick ass
60k GT-R? you can get a 09 for 35k easy lol
09 cba model always suffer a lot of problem mostly with gearbox
17’s are a lot better
Why
its not tooooo old , its 3 years old :P
Uh oh there's a cop somewhere
Wanna buy my GTR Eddie, i give good deal!
tempting. I like your color lol
EddieX super cheap!
Owner of this gtr put some cheap looking wheels, removed the badge, and ricey blue exhaust tips lol. Made this gtr look cheap asf

they looked old from new
Second
The worst wheels on an r35 gtr!
First
Every gtr owner I know is fbo e85.
What is a GT-R? Never heard of it
GTR Wendy it's pretty much an altima
OLD???? Then what do we call the mustang prehistoric???? The mustang is how many decades old? GTR old it’s nonsense....
Calm down there. This R35 gen GTR is ancient, it's been essentially unchanged since 2008/2009
EddieX Calm down????... I’m guessing you can read, but you ignore my question. However, if you call the R35 GT-R ancient then my statement must be truly accurate about the Ford Mustang. Another point when it’s said that the GT-R is old they’re referring to the body style, because enhancements have been made to more important things like it’s technology, power increases, boost pressure increase as well. The GUI on the screen, on the other hand still remain as it original. The DBA 2017 body style was upgraded as was the interior. So, can go, on and, on.... but I have more important things to attend to. Anyway, educate yourself. Besides, I eat Mustangs all day as my appetizers for starters!!! LoL!!!
I LOVE the GTR's from 2014 and up. Nismo is AWESOME but crazy $$$. I would get the 911 Turbo S to launch over and over without the warranty getting cancelled after 3 launches from what someone told me but he could be wrong. I can only afford a Black Package or premium at this point but want to own one before I leave this earth. GTR do need a NEW upgrade and body style and maybe a V8 Turbo. Eddie I can't wait to see your video of you trying or driving the NEW C7 ZR1. Heard its a Beast as well. Thanks for the videos buddy love them. LOVE the GTR's as well. MB
it’s just so droney and annoying
This car isn’t fast and cheap anymore. You can buy a new m5 or e63 who will kill this car at everything.
The Wiseguy Nah M5 an e63 would still get smoked
Not a chance, ive destroyed plenty of m5s and e63. This car just loves mods and it loves to go fast. In fact the only car ive ever lost to in the gtr was another gtr.
The new m5 and e63 are both awd twin turbo v8 and you can tune them easily too.
Ryan Then why do you want to get rid of yours? Not bashing just curious, I personally passed on getting a GTR because of the lack of value of buying a new one and the price of full boltons plus e85. Also those mods will only get you to 650whp which isn’t much nowadays.
Maybe but that kinda extra money you can mod the shit outta the GTR.
In 2007 the gtr was $65000
In 2018 a gtr is $110000
Long story short I’d rather a Corvette z06 or a Porsche 911 992 Carrera 4
They need to develop a twin turbo v8 engine. And do a completely new redesigned body/chassis
EDIT: and a new transmission, maybe a 8 speed
EDIT 2: and keep selling this gtr but make it cheaper and have it in a stick.
william the sk8er I’m a huge Japanese sports car fan.... but they will ruin it. Just like every other Japanese sports car. It will either A. Be shut down without a replacement or B. Be so completely redesigned or reimagined that it won’t even be a successor to the GT-R. Nissan needs to take notes from Porsche - just make subtle upgrades. Find a way to cut a few hundred pounds, resculpt the bodywork a little and keep moving forward. This car needs a style upgrade more than a performance one IMHO....
This car will never have a V8 and will never have a manual again. The design leaders have already said that. It's all about being the best, and neither of those make it any better. No need to make the car heavier than it already is with a bigger motor, and no need to slow it down by adding time between gears.
King of sting You should go work at Nissan! You put 3 minutes of thought into it, and know exactly what the GTR needs. They could layoff some of their employees who spent 8 hours a day studying that very topic and pass the savings onto the customer!
MOST BASIC LOOKING CAR...EVER. LAME ASS CAR.
Down voted because you're starting to feel a little bit old...
Status Quo don’t worry Eddie I’ll give you a thumbs up great video.
Ja maybe but look what u are paying these days for an R 34
Any concerns on buying a used GTR I need to know or look out for? I have been looking but most are beat up and high miles and or modded out. Nothing wrong with this but I am looking to buy a used GTR with low miles but asking you Eddie what should I look for in doing so? If you have any help that would be awesome my friend.
A lot of people say the transmission is a weak point. When the GTR first came out, launch control would destroy the transmission. The newer ones have electronic upgrades to handle the transmission but still it’s a weak point of the GTR.
Thank you Sam
