If I owned this I'd have to do a 6 day honest review about how I totalled it by running out of talent

Four GTR's owned from new over ten years, main dealer maintained, never had a battery problem and they often stood for 6 weeks outside in all weathers off the exhaust, close the valve switch under the motorway press the furthest away of the three switches down, used to be the snow button, makes it a relaxing drive in that mirror a problem and left arm rest has aways been to far back.
Overall a great car, i have experience zero problems in 10 years of ownership, never felt the need to modify the cars because i thought it would ruin the experience, as it is a great car, cross country fast as anything.

I will own this car one day. I will come back to this comment

I would love to own a GTR one day, every video I've seen has had nothing but positive thing about it.

Definitely recommend a valvetronic exhaust.. Would fix your droning issue! Great review. Very glad hearing that its overall a good car stock. Cheers.

I have a GTR and it’s the best thing I have ever owned, I bought it with 2, 697 miles on it from redline and when I took it to litchfeild for a service they said that it’s been remapped and has 640hp... I knew it felt faster than a standard one. It has no exhaust mods or anything like that and it is a switchable map. There’s a switch under the steering wheel adjustment lever. It’s a monster.

One of my favourite cars. You've got me looking at prices of them again.

I owned a 2009 GTR for 5.5years... I had exactly the same opinion as you... There's nothing that is a more complete and capable package... Especially for that money. I've just swapped for a 2010 manual v10 spyder and it feels like a step back when it should be a step forward. Brilliant car in its own right but the GTR just tops everything for the money... That's why it took me over 5 years to get rid... Couldn't find anything I wanted to replace it with!

I have a 2016 GTR. PLEASE do the basic modifications, you won't regret it. You'll be astonished at the improvements! Also, get an OPTIMA battery. You can let your car sit in the cold for a year and it'll start right up. Excellent video!

Great review! I'm in South Africa and traded in my 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera S for a 2015 GT-R Black edition - had it for 8 months now and no regrets at all - thoroughly enjoying it!

Mines upgraded with Litchfeild 750 bhp and I’m glad I upgraded I love it 🥰 Faye

The King. I drove one on a track day and I have been saving hard ever since. I will probably be 95 by the time I get enough but what a way to go out. 😂

[tommymcmullen]

Great video, I love my 2016. I can go two or 3 weeks without starting it and it fires right up. No battery issues.

[AA-kens]

Wow it’s already been 6 months, how time flies

[markoconnor]

Great review. Gtr and a Patrol. Two cars that cover everything. Nissan’s two pinnacle vehicles.

I love my white, also 2017, R35. I have only did minor improvements, it's almost stock and so far it's more reliable as I was expected. I really feel it's so easy to drive it around and brutal fast if you press it a bit. A bit of a bummer there is no manual transmission but I guess there not many choices anymore in these cars now days. Great video!

Paul, put a solar trickle charger in the Nissan. The solar panel sits on the rear parcel shelf and is easily unplugged and removed if not needed.

[jluscinski]

Agree totally. Have had my 2010 for 6 years now, bone stock still and zero desire to modify. The thrill has never worn off and it is unbelievably dependable!
