Nissan GT-R R35 · 2007-2025 · Buyer's guide

Nissan GT-R R35.
18 years in production, about 48,000 cars.

The Nissan GT-R R35 went on sale in Japan on 6 December 2007 with the VR38DETT, a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 rated at 480 PS, all-wheel drive and a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. According to Nissan, output rose to 530 PS for the 2011 model, 550 PS for the 2012 model and 570 PS from July 2016, while the Nismo makes 600 PS. Each engine is hand-assembled by a takumi craftsman in Yokohama, who fixes a plaque bearing his name to it. In August 2025 Nissan announced the end of production.

Nissan GT-R in numbers

100% of the 576 Nissan GT-R lots in our database are right-hand drive, so the registration question has to be settled before the bid, not after.

Nissan GT-R supply is shrinking: 145 new lots in the last 30 days against 148 the month before, so a specific year or trim takes longer to find right now.

Nissan GT-R supply spreads across many years: the three most common model years (2008, 2023 and 2024) make up 49% of 576 lots with a known model year; the rest are other generations.

The median Nissan GT-R starting price in our database is 13.7M JPY (553 priced auctions); at that level the refundable pre-bid deposit, 10% of the starting price, runs into tens of thousands of zloty, so budget for it before choosing a car.

Versions

R35 model years in the catalogue

Model years 2007 to 2010: 81 listings

The first R35s, with 480 PS at launch. Until November 2010 Japanese catalogues list them under the type designation CBA-R35. These 81 listings cover about 53 different cars, out of the 431 R35 listings collected since June 2026 (as of 21 September 2026), with a median mileage of 54,000 km. The year on an auction sheet is the year of first registration in Japan, so a car from the end of a model year is sometimes recorded under the following year.

Model years 2011 to 2016: 56 listings

From November 2010 to January 2019 Japanese catalogues show the type designation DBA-R35. According to Nissan the 2011 model, on sale from 17 November 2010, makes 530 PS, and the 2012 model, on sale from 24 November 2011, makes 550 PS. The 600 PS GT-R Nismo joined the Japanese range in February 2014. The catalogue holds about 41 cars, the smallest of the four groups, with a median mileage of 36,500 km (as of 21 September 2026).

Model years 2017 to 2022: 86 listings

The 2017 model, on sale from 27 July 2016, makes 570 PS. From June 2019 Japanese catalogues show the type designation 4BA-R35. In September 2021 Nissan announced two T-spec versions, with 100 cars planned in total and sold by lottery. The catalogue holds about 53 cars with a median mileage of 12,000 km (as of 21 September 2026).

Model years 2023 to 2025: 208 listings

Almost half of the 431 listings (as of 21 September 2026), but only about 59 different cars. Nearly new examples with a median mileage of 2,000 km keep returning to later auctions, averaging 3.5 listings per car against 1.5 in the oldest group. In August 2025 Nissan announced the end of production at the Tochigi plant, and the final car was a Premium edition T-spec for a customer in Japan.

Trim levels in the listings

The most common are the Premium edition (154 listings) and the Black edition (94), followed by the Pure edition (45) and the Track edition engineered by Nismo (41). The Nismo, including the Special edition, accounts for 47 listings, the Premium edition T-spec for 15 and the Egoist for 9. The remaining 26 listings are the base grade, the Track edition T-spec, the SpecV, the Special edition and listings with no trim name. In total the 431 listings represent about 206 different cars, all of them right-hand drive.

What to watch

Six things that decide the price of an R35

2007 and 2008 cars: two recalls. In 2015 Nissan announced two recalls in Japan: no. 3507 (steering column, 2,908 cars built from 9 October 2007 to 14 May 2008) and no. 3570 (pop-up bonnet actuator, 2,484 cars). Both cover frame numbers R35-000001 to R35-100078. The catalogue holds 61 listings from 2007 and 2008, and only some of them fall within that range. Whether a given car was covered and whether the work was done can only be established from its frame number.
Cars built from August to October 2020. Recall no. 4960, filed with Japan's transport ministry on 27 May 2021, covers 101 cars of type 4BA-R35 with frame numbers R35-140097 to R35-140201. A steering knuckle with improper heat treatment can deform or fracture. The remedy is a replacement knuckle, and the frame number settles whether a car is affected.
The gearbox in early cars. The British workshop Auto Torque describes the circlips on the gearbox shafts as prone to failure in early cars from the 2009 model year, and on the Japanese site Minkara the owner of a car built in December 2007 described in 2017 how second and third gear jumped out, advising buyers to avoid 2007 and 2008 cars. A gearbox repair or upgrade in the service history of such a car counts in its favour.
Drilled brake discs. In track use the standard Brembo discs crack radially from the drilled holes. The blog 2009gtr.com documents it with photos, and the workshop Auto Torque describes these discs as prone to cracking under heavy braking, especially on track. Cracks around the holes show up in close-up photos of the wheels, as do slotted discs fitted in place of the originals.
Signs of increased power. The PistonHeads buying guide names EcuTek software and an aftermarket exhaust as typical R35 modifications. A non-standard exhaust or intake shows in photos of the rear of the car and the engine bay. Software does not show in photos, so only the car's paperwork can confirm it.
Grade R on the auction sheet. It marks a car with repaired bodywork, and 3 of the 431 R35 listings in the catalogue carry it (as of 21 September 2026). Grades 5, 6 and S, meaning cars in near-new condition, account for 237 listings. The damage map and the notes on the sheet show which part was repaired.

FAQ

GT-R — FAQ

Is the R35 a Skyline GT-R?

No. The R35 has been sold since December 2007 as the Nissan GT-R, without the Skyline name. The catalogue reflects this in how models are split: GT-R holds only listings with the R35 code, while the R32, R33 and R34 generations, coded BNR32, BCNR33 and BNR34, are on the Nissan Skyline page. As of 21 September 2026 they had 246, 141 and 119 listings there respectively.

What wears out on a high-mileage R35?

R35 specialists describe two mileage-related repairs. The bell housing that carries the driveshaft bearing starts to rattle: Auto Torque says it usually needs replacing at around 25,000 to 30,000 miles, and Litchfield prices an exchange refurbished housing at GBP 1,162.50 plus VAT (price checked on 21 September 2026). According to Autocar, the timing chain at about 70,000 miles is an engine-out job of about GBP 2,000.

What are Nissan GT-R asking prices in Polish listings?

On 7 October 2026 Otomoto had 7 listings for the Nissan GT-R R35, all priced in złoty. Six of them, model years 2010 to 2016 with 17,000 to 90,000 km, were listed at PLN 349,000 to 399,900, and the seventh, a 2018 Black Edition with 23,000 km, at PLN 922,500. These are asking prices, not the amounts the cars sold for. Six listings state left-hand drive, the seventh does not say, and five give Poland as the country of origin. Cars from Japanese auctions are a different product: every R35 in our database is right-hand drive, and almost half of the listings are 2023 to 2025 model years, none of which appear in the Polish listings. The next two questions cover the cost of bringing such a car over and the rules for registering it.

What does a Nissan GT-R from Japan cost landed in Poland?

Take a car from the middle of our database: a Nissan GT-R with a 13.7M JPY starting price and a 3800 cm3 engine. After 10% duty, Polish excise of 18.6% and 21% VAT on clearance in Rotterdam, with typical RoRo shipping (350k JPY), it comes to about 22.2M JPY, before our fee and port charges. The figure assumes a petrol engine of that size; a hybrid falls into a lower excise band, 1.55% up to 2000 cc and 9.3% above. That is the starting price, not the sale price; the winning bid is often higher. Step by step: How much a car import from Japan costs.

All Nissan GT-R in our database with a known steering side are right-hand drive. What does that mean for registering such a car in Poland?

100% of the Nissan GT-R in our database with a known steering side are right-hand drive. The Polish technical-conditions regulation bans that layout in § 9(2); the exception in § 9(2a) covers a passenger car that is either new with EU type approval or was previously registered in an EU member state, with right-traffic headlamps and a left mirror giving the required field of view, and § 9(3) excludes vehicles first registered before 1985. A car bought at a Japanese auction and shipped straight to Poland meets none of the § 9(2a) conditions, so the real paths are prior registration in an EU state, first registration before 1985, or converting the steering to the left side, and that call is best made before bidding on such a car, not after. Full guide: right-hand drive and registration.
