Nissan R35 GTR (DBA)
My favorite car of them all, is this R35 GTR. This is by far the fastest car I have ever driven, most capable all-wheel-drive I have ever had, and the fastest manual shifts I have ever had to do. There is a reason why all GTRs are legendary; they are not just fast, but they are all-rounded engineering craftsmanship machines.
Spec & Modifications
The R35 GTR is intentionally left stock, without any modification to power nor handling. Modifications would come only when I can surpass the capabilities of the car on track, which might take awhile or never...... That's how capable this car is, even in its stock form!
Component | Brand | Model |

Recent Repairs
Yes, owning a GTR does have a lot of repairs that can be expected.
​
2025 has been a repair year for this R35 GTR, with the following issues.
-
Driver side door lock malfunction; yes, I had to get in and out of the passenger side until it got fixed
-
Transmission shift fork broke. This was when I went to pick up the car after the driver side door lock got fixed. It would only shift into 2nd and 4th gear, and I had to inch my way back to my garage before getting it towed to a specialist (Apex Motoring) to look at. It was a broken shift fork.
-
And half a year and three track days later, one day this clicking sound came up, and its at Apex Motoring again. It was the front diff and clutch pack that broke, and I was lucky to have been able to drive myself to the shop as it would have broken had it gone a little longer already.
Future Projects
As the R35 GTR stopped production in August 2025, I am treasuring this legendary car even more now. As such, I am going to be trying to keep this running in its best condition possible, without too much of tinkering or even going to track on it. So as of now, there are no plans to modify this R35 any further, but to only upkeep it to its best condition possible.
