A well-presented example of Nissan’s recently discontinued motoring marvel, benefiting from a recent service and a full paint correction. Under the hood is the hand-assembled 3.8-litre twin turbocharged ‘VR38DETT’ V6, which drives all four wheels via a six speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters. The odometer reads 30,800 kilometres, but it is understood that the full dashboard was replaced in 2015 at around 30,000 kilometres and the mileage went back to around 7,000 kilometres at this time, making the true mileage approximately 53,500 kilometres. This Japanese-market R35-generation GT-R was imported into Australia and first registered on 23 March 2022. This GT-R is finished in the striking hue of Solid Red over a black leather and synthetic suede-trimmed cabin with aluminium trim. It rides on the correct set of 20-inch, seven-spoke alloy wheels, framing gold painted Brembo brake callipers and shod in Nitto NT555 G2 tyres. Factory-fitted equipment includes cruise control, an infotainment system, dual-zone climate control, hated front seats, and a premium Bose sound system. A full-titanium valved Top Secret exhaust system has been installed. While the car was imported with an IDEAL suspension system, the setup was deemed to be too low to pass the incoming roadworthiness inspection, and so standard Japanese-specification suspension components were re-fitted. A recall has been issued for this model in Japan for issues relating to the gearbox, however the vendor understands this only to be for programming or parts and not the gearbox as a whole. The original service book, owner’s manual and two pairs of keys accompany the car, along with a comprehensive set of Japanese service records. To the best available knowledge, there is no bodywork damage or accident history. Having received a stage three paint correction and full ONYX ceramic coating performed by Shining Car Care Melbourne, the Solid Red paintwork is offered in impressive overall condition. There are just two small chips on the bonnet. The front lip spoiler has now been replaced. Inside, the cabin presents well, though there are a few signs of use, which is in line with the car’s age and mileage. These include wear of the finish of both door window control panels, damaged trim on both sides of the centre console, wearing through of the carpet where the driver’s heels pivot, lifting carbon fibre-effect vinyl around the electric door mirror controls, and a split in the leatherette beside the driver’s right-hand air vent. There are no known mechanical or electrical faults and all of the controls, switches, and instruments – including the multifunction display famously designed by Gran Turismo creators Polyphony Digital – work as designed. This GT-R’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in May 2023 by Tuff Motor, which was a standard service. Prior to this, V-Spec Performance in Blackburn, Victoria, performed a full service including engine oil and filter, driveline and brakes in March 2022 at an indicated 28,937 kilometres. A full inspection was completed at this time with no other issues identified. While it was stated that the brakes made some noise under braking, the pads were brand new and the rotors were machined during the service, so this is not unexpected. The previous service was completed in Japan in November 2020 at an indicated 28,136 kilometres. 21 additional Japanese service records will accompany the car.

The model was discontinued in Australia late last year, marking the end of an era and cementing its place as a modern classic. This 2008 Nissan GT-R is offered in beautiful aesthetic condition, with a significant service ahead of sale ensuring its mechanicals are ready to continue delivering in the hands of its next custodian.
