- It may be one of the oldest platforms on the market, but Nissan has fine tuned the Nissan GT-R over the years to culminate in this. It's the end of the Nissan GT-R in Australia because of side impact laws, but does this still represent good value for money in this day and age? Paul Maric hits the road to find out in the 2022 Nissan GT-R T-Spec!

The GTR never looks old, it's a classic bold unique design.
I agree but over price
@@SIMPLEGUY423 you can get a 2015 for like $70k thats not overpriced
I’m talking about the new gtr not use
@@Blurris. The whole used car market is overpriced to the point that is better to buy new. However, on the GTR, "new" means $20-$40K mark up price for a total of around $160K for a car that's been virtually the same since 2008?!?! Yes, overpriced!
The only ones salivating and praising Nissan are the bunch that haven't owned one and realize that it is just like any other car with very capable fast acceleration. But that is it. Now there are cars like the M4 beating it out of the box.
The GTR interior is dated, the transmission noisy, room is tight, front clearance sucks, disk brakes crack, and all comes with the getho support of budget car manufacturer, Nissan. Bought mine in '16, a 2014 BE FBO/e85 for $75K and 9K miles. Now, it would cost $90K with 30K rough miles on it. Yeah, no thanks. I went ahead and dropped $103K on a fully loaded M4---> day and night change. I'll never looked back, I scratched that GTR itch, now I've moved on.
LMAOAOAO that's a lie. the performance is nice but its 2022 and they didn't even bother to do an updated interior? let alone a facelift.
The advantage the GTR has is that it's powerful and fun enough to be competitive today, but also has that nostalgia attached to it because it's one of the last artifacts of the JDM glory days.
Spot on!
It's old, but it's a good type of old~ The fact that Nissan, and specifically Tamura-san, is dedicated to this vehicle shows that this is still good today~
It's nothing to do with the glory days of JDM lol. It's a computer driven car to the nth degree in street form.
Nothing JDM about the R35. It was a child of the Renault acquisition and it definitely wasn't exclusive to Japan. The actual JDM glory days were back when GTRs were still skylines and the S-chassis was in full swing.
The mighty GTR will never get old, it’s absolutely legendary, that front end will never date
Honestly, the entire exterior is so timeless today~ I even love the interior, even if it is dated. I'm just a simple guy, and the interior is very simple to use.
This gtr r35 is the ultimate supercar ever produced capable of killing ferrari's, lambo's etc if correctly tuned & modified for a lot less money. It will be remembered as one of the greatest car's in automotive history just like it's predecessor the gtr r34 which has ultimately become a collector's item for car enthusiasts.
Yes, that's all the interior you need! Screw digital gauges. Analogue gauges for the long run. And real switches over touch screen buttons.
Makes you really feel connected to the car~ It's definitely a driver's focused car :)
I'd choose this over any of its "competitors." Still looking delicions probably to the year 2032 too. Volume knob is still a great feature unlike new cars...
Right ? me too
nah i would buy it for 80k not 180k
Good luck with its reliability.
@@EastWood2004 exactly, fanboys dont understand that they break down more than its german competitors.
@@alexion7160 "fanboys" are fans because they love to argue hypotheticals. When you can't afford such cars, talking about it constantly is the best next thing, hey
Myth: GT-R is now too old and couldn't keep up with it's rivals.
Fact: there are serveral sides of performance measures in automotive industry. But lot of people measures it from straight line speed and track performance. In case of track performance, lot of car makers attempts records at Nürburgring to prove there capabilities.
So GT-R's main rival of course the 911 Turbo S. Hope you can remember Porsche and Nissan fought for Nürburgring records back in the days. In case of the Turbo S, 992 is actually slower than the 991.2 (source - sport auto and Porsche also confirmed it). Lap times are 7:17.1 and 7:17.3 respectively. GT-R caught up the 7:18-7:19 mark already in 2012. After 2017 updates Nissan didn't tested it at the Nürburgring (because it'll reduce the value of the Nismo version). But from independent tests at other tracks, updated version was 0.5-1 seconds quicker. And now with carbon-ceramic brakes, lightweight wheels and etc. There's no way the Turbo S would keep up with it. so yeah, GT-R is technically faster than a 992 Turbo S around the Nürburgring. And also can keep with a Audi R8 in a straight line.
I got little bit more respect for the GT-R than the Turbo S, because it's half of that Porsche's price.
Ok
With all due respect, who gives a damn? Unless you're a talented track demon these numbers are largely irrelevant. And owners of either car don't need hot laps to validate their purchase. For sure the GT-R presents one of the best price/performance ratio, but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter if all that power isn't in the right hands.
I drive mine on the street and don’t care about keeping up with anyone, whoever does care.. modify the heck out of it.
The miracle of Japanese engine...
Absolutely love the analogue/raw nature of this car, without all the electronic nannies. It's the last of this type of car. will not ever see something like this ever again. And I love this color combination. If I could afford it, I would buy this in a heartbeat over anything else out there.
what do you mean raw? the new gtr is known as full of nannies, it is nothing like the old jdm stuff.
@@N4CR5 Raw...hearing the gearbox working, hearing the engine and tires - no artificial fake sounds like cars nowadays...if you don't like the GT-R, go watch other cars instead of bashing this car in the comments section
The styling is timeless Paul.
I am biased! Having previously owned an R34 and now own a 2009 R35 model, I do love the look of the GTR. It is one tough looking road rocket ship and if you venture even into the "mild performance enhancements" (ecu tune, full titanium exhaust and air intakes) the performance of this car rapidly enters the "violent" category. Just awesome!!!
Previously owned an R34 ?? Why the hell would you sell an R34 ??? Its rare to get hold of one
I sold it like 10 years ago
If I win the $60 million tonight. I’ll put my order in for the Nismo version.
I love how you had so much fun with this. I genuinely had a big smile on my face when you did the 0-100. I'd loooove to have a spin in one of these one day.
Ha ha, thanks! It was great fun to drive.
GTR design never gets old
That look will never get old!!!!! What a machineeeeeeee
Another amazing review, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Epic car, been around so long it’s become on of the more analogue performance cars you can buy, this thing regardless of age is so much more special than almost all of todays offerings
Yep spot on. Despite its age, it's still a ripper of a thing to drive.
Man what a pleasure just to see the review of the GTR
Words that describes the GTR: "Old but Gold".
The GTR can soldier on for another 5 years or more if Nissan give it a better dual clutch box and update the interior. The engine is still a good performer and exterior styling is aging well.
At most I think they'll add a couple more gears to the existing transmission. Before working on an entirely new (and probably electric) model
Who actually buys a new car from 2007 in 2022 such an obsolete and ancient car
@@watnw2411 i would
Its great considering its old but there are faster cars out ther such as Porsche 911 turbo s etc
@watnw Toyota's land cruiser 70 has been in production since 1984 and the 200 only just finished after being in production since 2007. Same as Mitsubishis CJ Lancer which is finally dead, also been built since 2007. A lot of people still buy them for their own reasons
NISSAN has some really high expectations to meet with the next gen GT-R-which I can’t wait to see
the Spyros Panoopoulos car, the Zion one, is what carlos goshn envisages as the next step for the GTR
I love my R35 GTR it was my dream car and am so fortunate to have it! Its my ultimate supercar!
Luv this car please keep making it
Earned a sub. +like! Thank you!
your reviews, are so professionally done, really enjoyed that, and the question remaining for this product, is if you put the Spyros Panopoulos brakes on it, then it is hard to beat on hot laps?
The GT-R to me will always look amazing despite its age~ And also, that infotainment screen has actually gotten faster despite its age, when I saw that satellite navigation :O The GT-R will always be one of my favourite cars in the sports car world~ Very powerful for a car that still has that analogue and mechanical feel 15 years later. Thank you, Tamura-san for your dedication for the GT-R and Nissan~ In terms of saying that it's the best GT-R, I would say that the Nismo GT-R is the best, but any GT-R is really good :)
Hey Paul, excellent review. You lucky bastard! Great to see Godzilla still looks, feels and drives like no other supercar. The only difference now is that it's priced like a supercar. Sad to see the fun police getting to it! Keep up the good work mate.
I love the gauge in the dash showing l/100km....was hitting the max of 30 a few times...luv it
Great Review Paul, I hope Car Expert is putting a bid in for the Lang Lang Proving Ground. Amazing place for content creation!
I love it... I remember when Jeremy from top gear 12 years ago when he drove it in Japan he was so impressed by the engineering. GTR road machine 💝💝
Hmmm, don’t think that is true - Topgear bought a GTR over to the UK after that Japan test, but no record of JC owning one…. In fact while he raved about the GTR in that Topgear review, 6 months later in his own end of year DVD special he backtracked calling it (while acknowledging it was incredible performance for the money) sterile, boring and a car he would never personally want to own
@@rotoehu9266 that's what I heard on a top gear car review it may be just a joke but you should see his review before you talk 👄
Yeah not entirely sure what ur saying about him buying one. He never bought one and never said that he will buy one in his review either
@@eshanmirash2456 I may be wrong I'll see if I can find it Thanks for the heads up 😶
@@samy4288 He did buy a GT from Ford. Not a GTR Nissan.
Saving up right now man 💰 💰 💰
Great reviews, please remember to always comment on how quiet (or not) the interior is - thanks
Dream car👌🏽
I had an 08 JDM and now a 17 JDM with Orange interior. In Japan for the 14.5mil JPY I paid for it I could have bought some exotics but I can't find any other car that attracts me as much as the R35. Considering it's not designed following the trend of it's time but more of a design made by computers it does not get dated easily. It still looks great to me in 2022.
Still in love
It looks so good in that millenium jade and the gold wheels. T spec is definitely a nice spec. Mega tires too
Looks great
My dream car, always has been.
I loved how he whispered "fuck" when he launched it😂😂
😂
Good catch!
At the time of this comment the video is 9 days old. The last batch of these cars to come into Australia in october 2021 were already sold before they got here. I doubt 1 dealer has any left that aren't sold. I work for a Nissan dealer and was lucky enough to have a drive of the t-spec and Nismo SV models and despite the platform being over 10 years old these cars will always put a smile on your face every time you drive one.
Toyota Camry is going to be $100,000 soon in Australia.
IT LOOKS FANTASTIC, MY DREAM CAR
Kaizen. The way of little improvements over a longer period of time. In a world when the new is becoming old at a very fast pace seeing something like this is truly remarkable. It just shows that its not about the "whats new ?" its more about of living the process and refine it. Props to Nissan for having this approach. 👏🏼 Sadly we wont get this in Europe, i guess we have to import it lool xD
The Beast!
A local GT-R Friend of mine is waiting to take delivery of his Mellenium Jade T-Spec. I'm wicked excited to see it in person.
Great looking car!! ❤️
Love the design 😁
It’s crazy how The prices of these even the 09 models have gone up since
Style never ages
Beautiful and stunning car! 😎😎👌👌👍
The back and the design of the GTR T-spec is a legacy of NISSAN GTR from the first models it never gets old.
Just like the 911, the rear seat is perfect for a couple of sets of golf clubs. Is it sad that that is one of the first things I look for in sports cars? 😂
😂
Understanding the concept of "high demand" on many things in life. But this thing.... after 20 years of reviews, reviews and reviews... a crow turns into a phoenix beats me forever.
Can you show us what's the horns sound like in the future review? Cheers
Classic and modern combined you get this GTR, what a masterpiece
AWESOME
So just to be sure, you were at the GTR Nismo launch in Germany right?
Living legend.
Those boost gauge and telemetry screens were actually developed by Polyphony Digital, the developers of the Gran Turismo racing game franchise.
That's really cool! I didn't know that.
I love it
Bought a 2021 GTR R35 Premium i don't regret it! Its a piece of art...
Excellent review. Here to hoping our first edition hits a million squids 😆
still looks stunning
GORGEOUS GT-R!
It's a stunner!
When the transmission is removed, how fast will the car increase?
Love the GT-R!
My Licence would last for 3.4 seconds
😂
The design is iconic. Nothing old about it.
I am really happy to manage the locked one of them. It is my dream since high school. Finally i could buy one of them 🖖
I really like this king of the road
Very nice spec of the GTR.
Whenever I get overtaken by 4 circular rear lights, I know it's Nissan GTs 👍 classics don't need to change.
It's still sick !
this t-spec looks good and i suspect it will look great for a very very long time
Amazingggg
Stunning timeless vehicle .
💯
It’s going to be a while before you lose that smile Paul. Wish I was there!
the GTR still looks amazing, they interior improvements were much needed!
Good to experience an "unobtanium" car vicariously! Can you review 370z though? Would love your thoughts on that as a daily car in Melbourne.
U know its old when it has a hand brake.
Nope, it means you don't know how to drive a sports car.
Is that key and steering wheel from the Navara?
Cant wait to see how it goes off road.
Hi Paul can you do a review on a alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio?
I saw a comment to this effect in another video you did, can you show us the durometer readings for areas the driver touches more in longer trips
Window sill by the drivers door, the side of the centre stack where the drivers knee touches etc
And cellphone storage with cup holders in use and charging cable attached
That would be very helpful
That infotainment system gotta get updated! We need an ipad looking one
Nice wheel design. Speedy Wheels sells REALLY similar forged wheels: Carbine series.
I have one set on my car in gunmetal colour. 😁
I like that color.
I love my 2017 R35, it's nearly stock and it's reliable but so brutal powerful in acceleration. The only thing I would love to have is a manual transmission as it's my first car without one the last 26 years. I'm pretty sure you can do better 0-100 time if you practice more! Great review just forgot to open the hood to see if they have made any changes in the engine dpt!
Do you know when the GTR will get a complete redesign? I wanna get one but if the redesign is 2023 then I'll wait
@@samlovesjojo With all the noise about EVs it's still unclear. No news are out yet.
@@gcntech9071 imagine an EV GTR 😂
Tesla destroyed the gasoline performance car market. Not worth buying anything but a Tesla if you do all your performance driving on the streets as 99.9% of drivers do
Impressive
Yep, I’d buy one. There just isn’t that many on the road. Cheers mate
I've got a midnight purple on the way. Reserved it while it was still on the line. 🤗🥳
My dream car. Any year, any color.
It is one of very few supercars that you can actually drive and use it’s power and other things for day to day commute or touring.
It STILL looks BRILLIANT 😉💪👍👌
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I think you can put the old durometer away for this one Paul!
Edit: and the old drink bottles..
Yeah, I think the exterior design still holds up in 2022...not too sure about the interior though
at least enough still functional
Don't think it justifies the price in my opinion.
listen closely and you'll hear Paul drop the 'F-bomb' during launch!!!
Hi Paul, would love to see you guys review a Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce/Quadrifoglio!
The keys are the same as my 07 G35S sedan ahahaha, same as the paddle shifters.
I think it looks great
What a weapon.
Which car in the market that can survive side impact hit from 4+ ton 4wd with bulbar ?
A bigger 4WD 😂
Great review shame the fun police have jumped on it.
Speaking of, would love to see a review of the Alpine A110S that too is a victim of the fun police. Be interesting to see how it compared to your A90
