Quite funny reading some of the comments what people think and believe about R35's....
Till you have driven a R35 on the track you will never own an older GTR, cant beat the felling of power sliding an AWD R35 while pulling the paddle shift to select the next gear.
From the 3 nsw 2009 modle R35 that have done several supersprint, time attack and drag events none have had transmission problems all are modified and run around 400kw @ the wheels. Just change the tranmission fluid every two track days. We all have used aftermarket fuilds in our cars that cost $260 for the 10L. Not sure why but Nissan do not have a listing for replacment filters in the R35 transmission, they just change the fluid and thats it. I bought some aftermarket transmission filters, dropped the pan and replaced them and got solinoids cleaned. filter are about $500 and done this when i got to 30,000km.
Have not had any other issue with my 2009 car that dose get driving very hard as most of you would know.
