The Most Common Problems With R35 Nissan GT-R Ownership (HotCars)

While the R35 GT-R remains one of the most potent Nissan performance models ever, it however does have some notable cons.

And while it doesn’t really make the cut as a family vehicle, the Nissan GT-R R35 still provides plenty of unique experiences to folks that are into high-performance driving. However, the good side is that the problem is easy to spot. Another major problem that plagues the Nissan GT-R R35 is the headlight condensation, which, unlike the other issues explained above, doesn’t have a repair or hack. While it's not a requirement to invest in new headlight units, the affected headlights could become less and less effective in lighting the road ahead of you. Thanks to its uniqueness, the GT-R R35 is a sports car that continues to make a strong statement in the sports car segment. Getting rid of the noise requires a highly skilled mechanic with special engineering skills. As the parts wear out, the problem gets bigger, and so does the sound. The absence of the manual transmission does eliminate the possibility of a more engaging ride. Instead, if you do have a transmission problem, the brand will only replace the entire transmission. For a car with a powerful engine, engine problems are inevitable. But, like any car, the Nissan GT-R has its flaws. Since all this happens in the transmission system, which consists of moving parts, the freely-moving metal may accumulate and jam the solenoids – every GTR owner’s nightmare.

Next-Gen Nissan GT-R Envisioned By Independent Designer With ... (Carscoops)

Do you like the restomod-style design approach of this digital concept or would you prefer something more modern with fewer references to the past?

It does bring an [R34 flavor](https://www.carscoops.com/2022/06/nissan-skyline-r34-gt-r-v-spec-ii-driven-by-paul-walker-is-a-true-unicorn/) with the boxy rear fenders, but overall it seems like it could be based on a slightly modified version of the current chassis. The project was limited to the styling aspect of the GT-R, so it doesn’t include details about the technical side. [Roman Miah](https://www.instagram.com/romanmiah/), his goal was to “recapture the design cues and unmistakable Japanese styling of the iconic Skyline’s of the past, whilst also looking into the future of GT-R”. [the outgoing R35](https://www.carscoops.com/2021/09/2022-nissan-gt-r-unveiled-in-japan-with-a-t-spec-edition-coming-to-us/), with a very similar greenhouse and familiar dynamic lines. Electric motors would certainly increase the power output of the sportscar, bringing it closer to the [current GT-R](https://www.carscoops.com/2022/05/nissan-closes-order-books-for-2022-gt-r-in-japan-remains-coy-on-r35s-future/) has been around for a full 15 years and despite the numerous updates during its lifecycle, it is about time for a new generation. It is not a secret that people love R34s, as proven by the rising prices [of pristine examples](https://www.carscoops.com/2019/10/this-nissan-skyline-gt-r-z-tune-is-the-worlds-most-valuable-r34/) in the used car market, so borrowing a few styling cues from that model doesn’t sound like a bad idea. There is also space at the back for a 2+2 cabin layout, although just like Blue accents on the splitter, intakes, brake calipers, side sills, and diffuser bring a colorful touch to the renderings. The swan-neck rear wing has an aftermarket flair, with an extra roof spoiler above the rear windshield. The boxy headlights feature more modern LED graphics, the bumper has larger intakes and a pronounced splitter reminiscent of Independent designer Roman Miah in collaboration with 3D concept artist Avante Design created a digital take on the new R36 GT-R, combining elements from the legendary R34 and the outgoing R35.

A Tribute to the R34 Skyline Would Be a Fitting Send-off to the ... (Top Speed)

The r35 nissan gt-r is about to go out of production, and this rendering showcases what a proper tribute to the r34 skyline gt-r.

It was introduced in 1999 and was replaced by the current [GT-R35](https://www.topspeed.com/cars/nissan/2020-nissan-gt-r-nismo-ar185282.html). Initially, it was a concept made public after Nissan pulled the plug off the R34. Among other things, the R34 Skyline GT-R offered excellent performance, and that part was beautifully played by the RB26 engine. However, if the R34’s power figures did not wow you, there was a top-spec Nismo version named Z-tune. However, the rendering is referred to by the designers as the R36 Skyline GT-R, and if Nissan decides to bring the R34 Skyline back, it should resemble this. Unlike the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 that powers the current GT-R, the R34 was powered by a straight-six engine. While the R34’s production ceased 20 years ago, it is still a sensation in the automotive world. For starters, the whole boxy design has been carried over from the original R34, but the headlights are sleeker, intake grilles are wider, and the power bulges on the hood add up to the sportiness. From the sides, you will notice that the concept sits very low to the ground, and the wheel arches are more comprehensive than the production-spec GT-Rs. [R34 Skyline GT-R](https://www.topspeed.com/cars/7-secrets-about-the-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r34-ar194349.html) went out of production, but the legacy remains, and perhaps it is one of the best GT-Rs ever made. The rendering also showcases a lot of cuts and creases around the body to make it even more aerodynamic than the present-gen R35. The quad-circular taillights on the rear fascia give the back end a timeless appearance.

Here's How Nissan R35 GT-R Humbled The Best Supercars In The ... (HotCars)

Production might have ended, but the R35 GT-R lives on to be a legendary nightmare for supercars.

It has made us curious and awestruck at what it's capable of - and this holds true not only to the 2008 model but for the ones that followed with multiple improvements, only making it quicker. The Nissan R35 GT-R was a technological marvel, bursting at the seams with electronic wizardry - and all of this was done with one goal: to make it the fastest accelerating production car in the world. There has to be a balance between design and engineering, and the R35 GT-R passed with flying colors. The next GT-R is highly unlikely to have analog dials in bezels, along with a tachometer that shows a 7,000rpm red line. These were among the key ingredients that helped it leave Lambos, Ferraris, Porsches, M-Powered BMWs, AMGs, and all sorts of cars in its rearview mirror. The GT-R's steering is small and comes trimmed in soft, hand-stitched leather. [the R35 GT-R is a supercar that has evolved like fine wine, with gradual increases in the price](https://www.hotcars.com/the-evolution-of-the-nissandatsun-gt-r-in-pictures/), tweaks to the styling, power, and whatnot. The entire silhouette is so slippery, that it makes you want to slide your fingers all over it. [this is the same automaker that produces the humble Leaf](https://www.hotcars.com/2023-nissan-leaf-what-we-like/). Nissan wanted to go to great lengths with their baby, and they did all they could to make a fast car appear fast-looking. As the years went by and competing supercars became more cut-throat, the GT-R started to lose its edge. [The R35 GT-R has trolled other supercars for over 10 years now](https://www.hotcars.com/acura-nsx-type-s-porsche-911-turbo-nissan-gt-r-c8-corvette/).
