  • At least once a week there is someone asking whether they should get a CBA or save up for a DBA. There always seems to be someone responding with false information based on something they read from someone else. In this video I'm going to explain the differences between the CBA, DBA and EBA platforms in the R35 GTR.

    I have been a wrench head for years. I started off with building a 69 Camaro, then moved on to Miatas, followed by my first turbo car a 97 Eclipse GSX. After than I moved on to a Honda S2000, then my first MKIV Supra, then a 2010 Camaro, FD RX-7, R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R and my second Supra. I am now the owner of a 2013 Nissan GT-R Black Edition. I love JDM cars and would like to share that enthusiasm with all of you. I will be do car reviews, how to videos and opinions based on personal experience with those legendary JDM tuner cars. I tend to do almost all of the work on the car my self. This comes from a budgetary need as well as a lack of trust of mechanics in general. Working on cars are not has hard as people think, and I hope to show you that you can do it as well, regardless of your experience.

    This was definitely the video I've been looking for. I'm thinking about a GTR wasn't sure which one was a good fit for me. I love the looks of the EBA but the price is crazy right now, and CBA'S I've found have way too many miles. DBA'S are kinda right in the middle of good to OK prices and miles but still maybe out my range. Definitely gonna keep looking but this helped tremendously. Thanks for the info.

      @@richardmahoney9415 We got some in common. I have a Raptor, and own a GTR. Do not, I repeat do not get a car under 2012. 2011 and under transmissions had major problems. Now in 2012 they did major renovations and improved 100%. It also tracked the launch control so it showed all the launches. 2012-2014 everything is great! 2015 I believe they again did a minor adjustment so it might be a little superior but not by much. I was very lucky to get a 2012 without this prior knowledge. And what else he doesn’t inform you is by dropping the oil pan it’s just about 9-10 hours worth of work for a skilled mechanic. It took me 11 1/2 hours as I took many breaks. So good luck on your adventure.

  • @MiguelClarke

    I appreciate the video and for putting good GT-R info out to the community. The DBA (2015+) made a huge difference to how the car drives. It really feels like a "Grand Tourer" now. Speaking of now, this is a horrible time to buy a GT-R. Prices have gone up $20k+ this year and with the last R35 model year upon us, I see it continuing to rise.

    • @JDArcher
      @JDArcher  Před rokem

      Also I've been seeing the prices come down on R35s recently, but that probably more due to the lessening of the chip shortage. I figured they drop, then probably go back up in a few months.

  • @enzoliu391
    @enzoliu391 Před 2 lety +2

    One thing I found very hard to agree on in this video: I never found anything that suggests the first three digits of R35's chassis code are reference of ECU program. The theory I found much more reasonable was that they stand for Japanese Emission Standard codes (C/D/4=2005's 50%/2005's 75%/2018's 25% of low emission certification, B=gasoline, A=passenger car), I'm not saying this is undoubtly true, just way more likely to be. And since we are here, no there's no EBA according to Nissan, BUTT, there is a 4BA, this chassis code should be on the VIN plate of every GT-R from MY2020 and on.

Stop regurgitating misinformation! On the other hand, I have also observed DBAs having transmission problems as well.

    Funny that you like the looks of the DBA. In late 2011, I could buy a 2010, 2011, or 2012 model. I liked the looks of the CBA and 7 spoke wheels much better than the DBA, so I bought the CBA, and saved $15,000 as well. Early DBAs also were having paint problems. Spent $2000 on Stage 1+ Cobb and have 50 more hp than the newest GTR. I think the CBA suspension is the best for performance, with turn in quicker than the DBA because of alignment changes. Newer EBA models have less precise road feel and steering feedback.

    I don’t know if you’ll get to this since you posted over 2 years ago but what is the 2011 in your video you say it’s a CBA but on the internet it’s not clear most sites refer to it as a DBA but others just like you did call it a CBA. And I was just wondering if you also thought that would be a good choice because there is a 2011 that has a pretty good price on it nearby and I was considering it everything else just seems expensive but maybe I’m not looking in the right spots

    • @JDArcher
      @JDArcher  Před 2 měsíci +1

      So, mine is at 130k miles. The only things that have come up, aside for general maintenance, is 1) the car started throwing the code (P0011, if I remember right) which means the time g chain had to be done. This was at around 97k miles and , 2) the pressure sensor on the transmission went out leaving me with odd gears only. The transmission has to be removed from the car to get at the sensors, so I elected to do a full stage 1 rebuild at SP Engineering. This happened around 120k miles. Other than that, no major issues.

    I have driven my CBA since I bought it new in 2009 and still own it at 112,000 miles. You should know that in my case even though I had the launch control update and the TSB clip service update my transmission died ANYWAY right after my warranty expired. This even though it had NEVER been launched or track driven up to that point. I also lost my AV unit and my AC controls died. The AV unit happened under warranty and the AC after warranty. There is also the Bell Housing Rattle that was not mentioned in this video. There is a VERY high chance a CBA will suffer from this unless it was fixed under warranty or done by a good mechanic afterwards. If not, it is NOT really a cheap fix. I had that one done out of warranty.
    As a cautionary tale, don't think you are truly safe with just the clip TSB for the transmission being done. Trust me on this. Especially if you plan on going FBO on a used CBA.
    I took advantage of losing my transmission for the second time ( it failed before the clips were done and afterwards) by having it rebuilt by Shep Transmissions to handle more torque along with fixing its inherent flaws. Now I have been running FBO 600whp, 600lb-ft for years with no issue. It feels fantastic and has not had any UNKNOWN CBA issues. Everything I listed above is a well known CBA issue. In hindsight, it was still the best car purchase ever.... because it was 73k brand new for me in 2009. I can sell it for close to that even now. I won't, but it is nice being wanted.
