A BRUTALLY honest review of my Nissan GT-R | 3 Months Ownership!

[@ScottishCarClan]

Hey everyone... It was inevitable! I've since upped the power of my Nissan GT-R - check it out : kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2jJaZqHZtxmg80

[@seandevenney1530]

Absolutely love the GT-R, such a distinct noise and aura around it! And at such an accessible price range too! Great video again

Good review, I feel exactly the same about my GT-R, the automatic mode of the transmission just sucks and I drive it all the time in manual mode. Stepping on the gas a bit while downshifting helps it so much and it feels less clunky. Don't be afraid to maintain it guys, it is literally the best car I've ever owned. Get one while you can. You can't do much wrong - beside of killing the gearbox :)

[@stckyjoey1]

Mine seems like it's out of gas from a dead stop on acceleration but after first gear it's great. But taking out in the freeway that's a fun part 😜

[@henryi9738]

The GT-R vs R8 comparison you mentioned was key for me. Thanks for this video mate.

[@marcusrunyon2265]

what is better ? @henryi9738

[@atimney]

Enjoyed that, any scotsman who can pull off 'comunicative' in a video is top man!

[@Lee2k4]

I’ve always loved the GTR the sound this thing makes is just unbelievable.

[@ScottishCarClan]

Little spoiler... it's since gotten new downpipes and a different exhaust! Video next week.

[@quikie1984]

For a first time owner myself, your sub 40/50 is gospel. I often feel like I'm over focusing on how to drive even though that amounts to 2 pedals. It's a weird one

[@philipproud9046]

I love that analogy "feel like a fighter pilot amongst cessnas" 😂😂 class!!

[@davidb2059]

Great comment on what's important in life. If you step back and think about it, even if it's 5% driven and 95% parked... a lot of that 95% of that is spent asleep. So go for it. Superb review, I appreciate how frank you are about what you like and what you don't. Exactly what I was looking for. It's like the car is your SO!

[@stancedmiata1795]

My absolute dream car and such good value for money. I’m planning to get one in around 2 years time. Can’t wait for the day I look out my window and see one of these sat on my drive

[@andrewsots]

I've had mine for 2 months & i love driving it but not in traffic for said reasons. Actually, not true,i do enjoy it driving anywhere, i just change to manual mode & resume loving it.

[@junes118]

Another absolutely cracking video !

[@ScottishCarClan]

Thanks!

[@sammacintyre2583]

These cars respond so well to trans/engine tuning and E85

[@KhanyisoMapuma]

Those modifications you've mentions are NOT Stage 3. That's 2. Stage 3 includes forged pistons, rods, camshaft, larger turbo... etc. Basically rebuilding the engine

[@ChevyS10LSUK]

Must be said great review. Great presenting.

[@brettskyski]

When I’m cruising at slow speeds I often drive it semi auto & flick the paddle, it’s just 2nd nature like driving a manual. Has yours got the latest gearbox map? I do agree what you say about the size! They feel so big down the little lanes of Surrey where I live. Love your videos fella, look forward to more soon. My GTR is a CBA Litchfield Stage 3 also. Cheers

[@ryanqueenan5550]

A v8 R8 and a GTR are my dream cars and you've had both of them! So cool! A GTR is a little above my price point, so I'm looking to get myself a Nismo RS Juke to satisfy my GTR cravings lol. I think that would be a good car for you to make a buyers guide on. The juke is a nippy little ride with the 1.6t.

[@michaelfk2548]

Not too shabby !

[@koolkeith8908]

You probably know this but in manual mode, there really is no lag, or being lazy.

[@OGPunjabiPrince]

Awesome bro ! Love all your videos !

[@ScottishCarClan]

Thanks Shahzeel! I appreciate it big time.

[@brianlin4648]

one of my dream cars for sure

Hey Brian. If your local to us in Scotland your welcome to a passenger ride any time! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@vishaltween6362]

Love the videos mate keep them up! I watched everyone one of your R8 videos before buying my manual v8 last year (also white like yours 👌) and am currently looking to swap to a GTR so yours vids have been very helpful! Wondered why the gtr feels so wide when on paper it’s a good 10+cm narrower than the r8? Love to hear your thoughts!

[@freshwoodtrading1248]

What a fantastic Car looks good with the new decals really enjoyed the video Regards Simon

[@tobizahradnik2007]

Hey man nice video. question: r35 vs R8 what would you choose? Also if you were looking to upgrade to a different car what would it be ?

[@lJADU]

This is really insightful - I feel like it would be a fantastic weekend car. How has it been on maintenance for you? Do you work on it yourself?

[@k9-unit-australia275]

This is probably the most realistic GTR review ive watched. So true about power, how much is enough for the street? 600+ awhp is amples. I have my 2021 STI tuned to 400awhp & il never use it on the street. Awesome review mate I really enjoyed listening to a realist.👍👍 Cheers from AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺

[@ScottishCarClan]

Cheers Mate! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@sirleme6522]

Thoughts on 911 turbo s 992 ?? Would you consider it as good as the GTR ? Why ? Asking this question cause you said RS6 RS7 not as good as GTR and i want to understand what is going on exactly.

[@Aleko-mtl]

It does the same thing in the c43 I feel like it’s a thing with 6 cylinder twin turbos

[@eamokearney]

Well done thats a great review. Honestly the points made in this video are exactly how I feel about my car 🤣 i find that sometimes having the gearbox in R mode makes it a bit less lazy but still its keen to try get up the gears quickly. Also when you have it in manual mode, the gear levers attached to the steering collum instead of the steering wheel is frustrating but at least they rectified it in the EBA models

[@DTLaw00]

Why don't you drive in manual mode? Seems like it would eliminate alot of those transmission gripes.

[@rosettedsouza7265]

Excellent video, presentation and content, thanks!

[@ScottishCarClan]

Your welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@tylercoker5236]

Basically need a manual to be that more precise because me jumping from a 5 and 6 speed Multiple cars I can’t have that I need to throw the rpm’s and the wheels where I need them rather than that figuring for me and be not very responsive

[@YouTubeCommentator.]

3:10 You cant choose your gear in the GTR? What are those paddles behind the steering wheel for?

[@emptybucket1988]

Bloody love ❤️ this thing will get my self one

[@AoP893]

Lot of the early UK models are starting to rust in quite a few places now.

[@ScottishCarClan]

Yep, under mirrors, boot lid, wheel arches seem to be the common spots. Not to mention rear subframe

[@andrewb1538]

Been sitting on the fence about getting one currently looking at a 2019 with 8k miles are they good as a daily?

[@ScottishCarClan]

Model Year 2017 onwards are certainly a lot more refined than the earlier ones as a daily. So long as you don’t need to carry more than 1 passenger frequently and don’t lug tons of stuff around then I’d say go for it!

You should try and get a shot of a earlier gtr I was wanting to buy a r35 gtr to replace my R32 gtr but after driving a friend's car I did not want to my friend wanted to buy a r32 after driving my car I didn't like not having a manual gearbox the sense of speed on the r35 gtr also put me off 100mph felt like it was doing 60 The r35 handled a lot better than my r32 gtr but the steering feel and connection to the car was no where near as good straight line performance It didn't feel any faster I think my R32 pulled harder at high rpms My R32 gtr is running 420whp 512fly it has tomei cams -5 turbos it's mapped on 95 Ron running just under 1.2 bar

[@TinoushGTR]

Well I had a R33 GT-R and my friend a R32 GT-R. We both sold our cars and bought DBA's. His was a track edition. After a while he sold his 35 and i kept mine. He went back to buy his old 32 again. Same car. After the test drive after many years he was disappointed. He is searching for a new r35 again. I remember when i had my 33, I went and rented a 600hp r35. It blew my mind back then and i decided to sell my R33 and get one. Never going to sell this car. Might be my age (almost 40) but to me this is a much better car as a whole. Nissan nailed it back in 2008-9

[@Mma_mamba]

Are u paying a lot for insurance with all that power?

[@TheExploringZ]

That first issue of laziness I notice on my 370z. Especially when slowing down from 40mph to 20mph and then accelerating again. I have to give it more gas its weird.

[@ScottishCarClan]

Oh Yeah? Interesting to hear that you find similar on the 370z! I'll need to borrow one from a friend to compare.
