When I was 16 I immediately started working and at 19 I bought my 370z. I’m now 21 and saving for a GTR, and while people will laugh at me and say it’s a waste of money, I’ll be laughing when I’ve worked hard and own a GTR while they sit in a Camry 🤷♂️ to anybody reading this, if a car makes you smile and you want it, go for it. Don’t let anyone tell you different
Bless you
Yes❤️🔥 go for it mate im 19 rn currently saving for 1🥺
exactly man, started working on a farm at 13, now 19 and a welder, and gonna buy a gtr soon
I feel motivated
GTR eats porsche and poop vettes!
This is literally my dream car,hopefully someday I'd be able to afford one
Same here broo
@@yahboyzavion959 you will both be able to. its my dream car too. they are a realistic dream car aslong as you work hard. good luck !
@@justintaylor5305 Good luck to you too man ✊🏽
@@yahboyzavion959 my g 👊🏽👊🏽
U wont
now this is a proper car. really good choice and I'm sure it will increase the popularity of this channel
Nope..GTR was the king a few years ago...now Porsche is leading
@@bojidarmartinov5949 very true but any Porsche that could lead this would be alot more expensive.
@@lukasbarnes i agree with you..most GTR in my area cost 30k euros used in a good condition which is actually really cheap, but sadly Nissan is behind this beast and years showed us that this company simply can't push forward when it comes to cars, they've been milking the GTR since 2007! No innovations..just tiny upgrades
@@bojidarmartinov5949 LOL
@pantera GER
I bought a 2017 GTR for my birthday. I now feel COMPLETE... ❤️👍🏼🙏🏼
The quality of your content is so much better, it seems more planned and thought out. Good stuff mate
Just got this a week ago (2017, black, prestige) and am currently road tripping through Italy, for the noise in 6th gear go into the secret menu (audio off, turn volume knob 40 times) and turn off the fake engine noise, will make the sound system even MORE amazing. I'm absolutely loving the GTR, is everything and more than I'd imagined.
When I had a GTR I never thought about it being a gt car, I was driving like a maniac everywhere I went 😂 its so intoxicating. Just wait till you get full bolt ons on E85 the car will make you giggle and grin at the same time every time you hit the gas.
Get the gearbox flashed quicker smoother changes. Lichfield are the main to go to.
Jm imports are the main to go for gtrs...
+1 for Litchfield. They've taken care of me and I'd never ever take a GTR anywhere else.
@@mephistonight2958 Kapp
+2 for Litchfield
+3 for Litchfield
Just bought my first GTR! Absolutely buzzing to get it. Sold my RS7 which I loved but I have always wanted this Nissan. Thanks for the video, loved it!
Just bought a new 2020 Recaro GTR 6 weeks ago and coming from a 18 M3 comp this car is amazing yes you sit too high but after but I'm getting used to it, exhaust valve on off button is below the steering wheel and also you will find another lever to pull the steering wheel in and out lol, first mod is a y pipe and spacers 👍 New subscriber.
@@trutroops9656 Why does he has to prove anything to you 😂
Hes not saying that you fanny
@@geegee2113 What?
Put aftermarket seats in
Better not be an old one
My thoughts on three weeks of ownership of my MY17: The height of the seating position does feel strange at first but I quite like the visibility. I was surprised how quickly it changes up gear - you're usually in 6th gear from 30MPH or so! I wasn't very impressed with the sound system compared to other cars I've had. Mine has an aftermarket Y pipe fitted but I don't find it loud inside - however people tell me it's very loud outside so the Active Noise Cancellation in the cabin must work well!
i remember when you did your “buying my first super car series” and looked at the first gen r35 good times mate, keep it up
This 2017 GT-R looks so good stock, I hope when the mods start it has an OEM+ vibe. Congratulations once again Paul!
You'll hate mine with the wing. I do like the OEM exterior vibe-but the wing grew on me after getting it
I have always said since the first one was launched it was the ultimate daily car, and even driving one, proves the point. best value for money hands down.
How much MPG are you getting on average ?
Impossible to dislike the GTR
Not really my thing they dont have the drama and want to kill you factor that I prefer in a car. The C7 Z06 is more my kind of car
I think it’s more ‘impossible to not respect the GTR’. I respect the GTR fully, but I’m not a big fan on the way it drives or the looks.
@@Perfection645 what exactly do you dislike about the way it drives
@@G13RS I dont know, I’m pretty biased to NA and supercharged cars, but from my small experience, it didn’t feel fully connected and cohesive. It’s a very impressive car but the speed was one of the main ‘wow’ parts of the experience but other parts of the experience didn’t really do it for me.
I didn’t like the lag, I didn’t like the transmission, the engine note (yes modded it sounds insane), the power delivery, the interior, it kind of felt like I was using a high quality appliance like a vacuum. The difference between driving it and being in the passenger wasn’t as dramatically different as I thought it should be for a sports car.
Be in no doubt the GTR is a legend and annihilate back roads like nothing else, it’s just not my personal kind of car.
Maybe your right, dislike isn’t the right word. I just didn’t like it as much as I wish I did.
I definitely respect it, and when I see one drive by or on the road or at a meet i still love it.
Daily driving the my2017 for 3 years now and can fully agree..
It's even getting better and better over time!
Best car i have ever owned💯👌
Congratulations!
That's exactly, the kind of review I wanted. Good job.
Hope you will make a lot of videos with this car. Just amazing
Glad your liking the GTR so far... I've had mine 2 years and still love it, you need to get to Litchfields and get it tuned and gearbox mapped.
I'm running Stage 4.25 and Litchfields 102mm exhaust system. 👌
This is actually a goid review. Instead of repeating the stats, they focused on the real practical details. Well done.
Great video Paul!! Editing spot on👌👌
very good points. gives you an overview how it is unlike many other reviewers who are missing the point and just describe how the car looks or features
I loved this car 10 years ago....then I kinda forgot about it. Now I'm in love again!
I drove a 2013 GT-R Black Edition as a daily driver for 4 years and loved it. As you mention, while it’s not a tall car, you do sit in a higher position, and that gives you good road visibility. The cabin has a good amount of front seat room. Mechanically, it can get up and go! With all the gear clunking, the transmission can sound like it’s going to fall out of the car in the lower gears, but Nissan warns you about that in the owners manual. Also, the sound system as you said is great. My biggest issue was that the road noise from the tires became obtrusive in the cabin once the tires had between 5,000-6,000 miles on them - and plan to replace them between 8,000-10,000 miles. Forget trying to use Siri or Google voice commands at that time!!! A new set of tires made the car feel and sound (in the interior) like it was brand new. But those were small prices to pay (well, the tires weren’t at about $2000 USD for 4) to drive such an amazing car.
Unreal addition to the garage 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Glad to see you own a GTR.. about time! Lol
i have a 2012 gtr r35 ...... had it for 2 year now still love it to bits ..... i nearly went for the r8 ..... glad i didnt....... cool vid man thanks
Love GTR all my life - Lucky to own all of them C10, C110, R30, R31, R32, R33. R34, R35 - 1600whp Alpha16
Heng, your garage is truly awesome - it’s like a GTr shrine and one day I hope to follow in some more of your footsteps. Had an R33, now have an R35 and a C7 RS6 but planning to get R32, 33, 34. Would love to visit your garage one day - is it open to the public?
Bought a 2016 premium a few weeks ago. Love it much more than I thought it would. Interior is quite retro but it's growing on me, and i think will age well. Incredibly fast car. You need to get used to how low front bumper is, scrapes very easy. Added a y pipe, so far. Much better sounding.
Great choice of car - bought mine last August and have loved every minute. Your next move sir, is a trip to my home county of Gloucestershire to pay a visit to Litchfield who can release the full potential of this car!
GTR GANG! gorgeous car
Get a stage 1 tune and map the valves to the steering wheel button or dash button to open later in the rev range ... by far the best choice you have made ... Daytona Blue R35 GT-R (Cassie) is my dream ... absolutely amazing to drive and the thrill never fades !!
So how do you do this? Valve opens at 3000rpm. Race is open all the time.
I really like the fact you’ve bought something different, can’t wait for the content with this car.👍
I own M4 but that's going to be my next car! nice review. I'm AWD Turbo guy! 2017 is a bit expensive BUT in 2 years, we shall see!
Makes me smile to see all these good comments about the GTR despite the dislikes on the video..Godzilla is hands down a special car
I saw a burnt orange GTR yesterday in Manchester, this shape the new one and it was the nicest one I've seen. This new shape from 2017 onwards is the best one yet.
Always loved the GT-R. Hopefully will add one to my garage in a few years.
I think you meant to say your getting one instead of “Hopefully”.
@@sasualisticvfx4046 Thats what I like brother respect
# 1 porsche and vette killer!
Great review! I still love my 2015 might need to get into an 18+
So glad you got the GTR!
Nice, I remember watching your videos way back 2009 when you're out supercar spotting. I think you're the one who owns that Fiat 500 back then, Now you have your own. 🎉
Genuinely enjoying the GTR videos. Great style and finally a drivers car perfekt for rainy days! Good choice :)
Legend, great vid Paul
Looking forward to seeing the mods you're going to do on this. Definitely a super car killer.
Seeing his smile while reviewing this... Says tons
Just a couple more weeks and I’m getting mine. 2020 GTR in white baby
I had a straight piped GTR and used something called "Neverdull" for the exhaust tips because they were always black and dirty. I recommend it big time because they will turn them really clean & shiny.
Paul; hyper sport in a GTR is setting R-R-R. Do not turn of traction control; it is not faster when you do so. Had one for years; great machine; it was my daily driver.
As you can read clearly in the manual; traction control off is ONLY to get out of a snowbank or mud. and .. there are no "valves" in the exhaust.
Best tire for the GTR are the factory Dunlop tires; also for snow tires. On snow, on snow tires it is also great! You'll see ....
For the seat height; contact Lichtfield. There are kits to do so.
There is actually a valve in the exhaust from 2017+, it quietens it down for startup and idling if that's what you want, there's a switch for it but it switches off above a certain RPM or always if in R
The Dunlop run flats??? Not a chance mate MPS4 without a doubt are the beat all-round . Especially in the wet, those Dunlops are terrible in anything other than perfectly dry conditions. But each to their own.
@@CB-rr9fe agreed. Dunlop does not compare. Just made the switch two weeks ago and can't believe I bought the Dunlops last time.
# 1 vette and porsche killer!
Got absolutely hounded by ads on this video.... lost track after 6... but a great car, great value. The service schedule on them is a little heavy but hen it's still a Nissan so fairly reasonable with some good reputable indies out there to look after you and it.
Adds, what adds?

Get yourself to a GTR Cartel meet. See every kind of GTR, from stock to the fastest 2000hp monsters and everything in between and appreciate the customisation of this platform through the MASSIVE selection of aftermarket mods available. When you see a mod’d GTR you really begin to appreciate why this platform is so adored by all. Smiles per mile...
Great review, got me looking on Autotrader now! Peace, respect and stay safe, Ben
That is my fav car you have owned. That spec 😍
Congrats and good choice. I love my LM20 GTR
This is a drivers car, and I’m glad to see it on the channel! A little tune could take this thing to the next level! Probably the car with the most available variety of tunes
Amazing video brother ☺️👍🏻
Finally, a supetcar you can take on long roadtrips and not make you broke. And you still keep the Murci as well.
Welcome to GTR ownership dude! Gotta go to Litchfield stage 4.25 to keep up with me now... ;)
Very nice. Great vid (other than watching the seat go backwards and forwards XD)
Was looking at both the M2 comp and the GTR as a daily to replace my RS4. Interesting that you prefer the GTR for daily duties- will be interested to see if you prefer the costs (although apparently the M2 comp is awful on fuel anyway?)
These videos are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great review paul
Congrats I really want to get one soon
Really appreciate your video 👍🏼✨
The instrument binnacle moves with the wheel? That’s epic!
The original Porsche 928 back in '77 had that, and yes, it was epic.
My god 🤣 the sound system bit literally got me 😂😂😂😂😂
Dream car, glad you loving it mate
Once you've done the roadtrip,get rid of the M2!
car looks great excited to see more videos with it
Seeing you drive on roads i use daily a414 and park street is pretty cool.
Nissan GTR is legendary now!
Absolute beast of a car for the money!!
Looks good with the darker tints not sure if that's legal though is it..
I've got tints on my RS5 but was advised not to go to dark
It brings a new level to a review, when the reviewer is discovering new stuff as the review is unfolding
Up until late 2016 we had a four door rocket ship made by Ford Australia . It was 4.0 litres DOHC straight six and ran either a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed ZF sports shift automatic . It was the Ford Falcon XR6 T and the F6 . Other configurations included an up market G6E T and similar . Beaut cars , really practical and really fast when needed . If you're ever in Australia keep an eye out for one to try . You'll be pleasantly surprised .
Its a great car to add to the channel! A modification dream.
The valves don't open and close on their own there is a button under the dash to open and close the valves. I always wondered why they put it under there when its something I used a lot
im literally 11 and im watching these kinds of vids cuz its fun to watch. lol
You have a valve control button to close or open just where your right knee is.
Paul wallace test drive the new gle coupé (not 24 hours)
I don't know if you have a serial exhaust on a GT-R, but have an Armytrix exhaust there or also a loud voice on Murcielago👍😎
I've got a 2019 gtr in Katsura Orange, I've had 6 in total now but fancy a change what do you think of a Audi R8 V10 plus coupe or spyder 2018 onwards in comparison
Awesome,i hope i will got it one day
Saving for my first GTR
Music is so important to a drive but the funny thing Nissan does good is sound systems going all the way back to 90’s Maximas that had the huge bubble Bose speakers on the rear parcel shelf
Hej well done nice gtr you got a button under the steering to open the valves at all time
That was a great shape of GT-R. Is that black edition on GT-R
People still don’t realise your Bose system is a Nissan made speaker with a Bose logo.
Car sound systems come out at £2-8k from factory as upgrades. The best 2 way car amp in the world is £8k, you’d need at least 2-4 of them to do a car and that’s without speakers etc.
If you’re an audio file you tend to just replace everything that manufacturers fit.
skyline is # 1... much love and respect from france!
Taking the GTR for the road trip ?? Or the famous sol lambo
He’s taking all 3 of his cars lol
Great review.
There are lower seat consoles available for stock seats, I think ImportRacing is building them.
Didn’t you drive a gtr nismo from Germany to England?
He did. Must have forgotten or he just strategically lying
Does realise he has subscribers? What a whacked frying pan face!
Lol unreal if true.
that just shows how much the GTR isn't in his radar.
I really have no idea why he bought one, probably he got a good deal with the financing he did, and spec of that video showing he got good views from it.
I can remember when you had your BMW one of your mate had a Rose gold gtr but I can't remember his name. And congrats on the new car 👍
Good luck and enjoy this beauty
I think the R35 GT-R has one of the best side profile designs full stop, it's just so menacing!
Can you make a video on maintenance cost for the GTR
Superb car, Japanese sports cars are very underrated, it's great to see one on a top CZcamsrs channel
Congrats ✌🏻👍🏻
Tilt the steering wheel up more so you feel lower to the floor! Have you tried it?
been looking for a daily might have to go with a hellcat or are the glass transmissions not as bad as they say
The Bose system on my Alfa Romeo MiTo was one of the biggest pull factors for me, it’s unreal.
You just need to pull the paddles to flick it into manual Paul you dont need to hit the gearstick across mate
So clean
I’m interested in what your music taste is haha!
Thats actually a great car! I had one for 5 yrs and I really enjoy it ,is super easy to get a lot of power from it,very reliable! Change it for a McLaren which is a lot better ,but for the money you have the better car!
