I Bought A Cheap GTR At Auction With A “Bad” Transmission & 'High' Mileage! BEST DEAL EVER!

In this video, I bought a cheap Nissan GTR at auction with a bad transmission and high mileage. The dealer messed up big time and I fixed it for free!

The best part of this video is the finding out that the auction guy and the Dodson rep in New Zealand both watch your channel. You are a worldwide phenomenon Alex and deserve it all!

Sitting in a DeLorean and bidding on a GTR. Living the dream 😀

When a dude from a transmission upgrade shop on a different continent knows who you are, you've gotten famous! Great video and can't wait to see the fun.

Bro, I don’t know who you are and I just stumbled onto this vid, but you enthusiasm and positive energy is crazy, and it’s only been 3 minutes. Put me in a good mood. Thanks.

Shout out to the New Zealand GTR guy, what a legend.

Dodson makes some of the best bike transmissions for gtr’s. Upwards of 2000hp in some builds. VERY well known in the gtr community. This was the buy of the year for you I’m sure. $46k for a lightly modded gtr with a built trans leaves a fair amount of funding for maybe some 6266 snails (1000hp+ maybe?) and fueling system.
I love how far your channel has come in the multiple years I’ve been watching. You give me old school power block feels from spike tv. PLEASE don’t ever go mainstream production and lose this feel.

"I won a GTR with bad transmission and everything..." dang!!..i feel this bro. Good thing you know your stuff. This this is not cheap.

Buying a GT-R at auction from the front seat of your minty DeLorean is PEAK.

Awesome score.

ps- I store my GT-R often time for 6+ Months out of the year (Illinois weather). Just like Dodson noted, if your battery voltage is low the car will often times throw the transmission error codes. Mine goes away after the battery is charged and the codes are cleared. I own a 2011 GTR with a 2015 Motor/Trans. I'm so excited that a GT-R is now in the LSC fleet!

I love how this video doesn't seem staged, you're just taking us along for the journey unlike other car channels

Canadian here - those are daytime running lights. They stay on because people will forget to turn on their lights in poor weather conditions which are common to the great white north.

Dude that is crazy. A auction worker in Chicago to a company rep in New Zealand. Everybody knows you. Absolutely insane. Goes to show what a great job you’re doing with this channel Alex. Glad to be a subscriber and follower.

No way, I just bought my 2009 GTR about 2 months ago! Congrats man, you deserve it.

Canadian here (and have brought cars in from the states). Yep DRL required up here to be enabled at import.
Also since it was an American car brought into Canada it likely had the cluster swapped since the speedo also had to be converted since the speedo was in km. Govt requires you to put cheesy stickers on the speedo with the new numbers but most people replace the cluster. The cluster likely did the Imperial to metric odometer conversion internally and won't display the Imperial so you can't falsely display it lower. If you swap back for a Imperial cluster it'll probably show the right mileage.

First time on the channel and thought it was great. Congrats on the GTR find, nothing like find the deal first and then discovering gold in it. Awesome for you!

[frankandrews]

This has been one of the best EVER shows Alex, hsd me smiling for 45 minutes, loved the NZ call (I am from Australia) and was just so excited for your great purchase. I think you need to bring you and your family to New Zealand and Australia for a review of the auto scene here and we can all catch up my friend. You are one of the most genuine guys out there and would really be appreciated out here.

Gotta let Fluid Motor Union build a custom exhaust!

[leonardhirtle]

Canadian cars have daytime running lights. That’s one incredible GTR. You stole it.

[Steveman]

My childhood growing up was always getting cars that I can customize take the engine apart and changing wheels making them look cooler. You've definitely made my dream your reality and I applaud you for that. Definitely gained a follower but most importantly one that I can look up to

Guy who stopped his bid at $46, 400 is punching the air right now after watching this video!, 🤣🤣
