I love how Jay, even with his enormous wealth is still humble within himself and to his viewers when he says $100k is a lot of money and even the $29k tuner kit for this car is expensive. He's a rich a famous guy, but he's one of the only celebs that seem to be just one of the guys.
The reason the GTR is my dream car is cause it's both Beauty and the Beast. Equal parts ruggedly manly and elegantly mesmeric. One day I'll own one... one day.
its a sweet machine,we all love lions but we still are intrigued by cheetahs right? i love v/8s but sometimes you want fun,speed and not spending $20 every 10 minutes on fuel. i just bought a Nissan(altima) 3 days ago,drove it every day and the needle hasn't moved on my gas gauge yet. it has as more power than my v8 camaro from the 80's and its a four banger that's quiet,smooth and quick the 5 speed and the engine/drivetrain in these Nissan's are just a thing of mechanical beauty.
Even though I have realized my dream by buying a 2013 GTR, I can tell you it still gives me chills every time Jay gets on the gas and that exhaust comes to life!! :)
this guy is so humble ,so many other tuners that I've seen on interviews talk like they are gods gift to cars. my buddy just bought a gtr for 60k preowned and he's modding it but once it blows he's going to build the engine. great cars and they make awesome drivers, these cars are the total package you can have 1000hp with air conditioning and reliability too.

100 grand for the car + $29,000 for the package to bring it to 800 HP. In total you spend $129,000 and a Lambo Costs $400,000. Plus GTR has rear seats for my Niggas and Hoes so this car is perfection in my eyes. Sucks I can't afford one :(
Alex is doing an E85 kit right now for my 14' - Awesome guy and SP Eng is an Awesome shop with great tuners. Every time I have a ? they always get back to me asap.
So you could buy a 2010 gtr for a bargain price, take it to these guys, and get a rebuilt motor with way more power than a brand new gtr and all for cheaper too?
Well, it depends on what you actually want from a car, GTR can be driven whole year, Lambo gives more prestige, it's sound is more exciting, and it's something really special. Driving it everyday as a normal car simply hurts, better have another "everyday driver", unless you have so much money that you don't care about it. Personally I'm in love with S63 Coupe.
+Cars Uncovered Yeah but depending on how hard it was driven before it might need a rather pricey chassis maintenance tightening everything up that can run upwards of 10k. I know that's how much it costs for the LFA and you have to do that every 10k performance driven miles on it.
We can say the Nissan GTR is the best car ever. Everything that it delivers for such a reasonable price. And with the best launch control that has ever existed.
Jay, your audio guy shouldn't be fired, but he needs to do some research. You are one of THE most watched channels, and the viewers deserve better. Secondly, the appeal of the channel is how approachable you are and how much enthusiasm you have. It's of great benefit. Thanks.
My dad sold jay a Vincent black shadow a long long time Ago and I heard this story when I was young. Since then I’ve always followed jay and his presence on the car scene. He’s genuinely a good dude and I wish more celebrities shared their passions with the world. He’s saving so many cars and I hope it promotes more people to the world of automobiles.
Can't believe people are still arguing if this is a Skyline or not, just like when it first came out. The answer is, that Nissan themselves does not consider this a continuation of the Skyline brand. The Skyline brand has moved over to Nissans luxury badge, Infiniti. Skylines are now 4 door sedans. It's not uncommon for automakers to shift brands in other directions. Look at the new generation of the Dodge Charger.
The R-34 was a skyline. This R-35 is the GT-R. It is the continuation, simply under a Different name. Although I believe the Skyline would also be called a GT-R.
GT-R pre R35 is a variant with 4 wheel drive and the most powerful engine. Theres also rear wheel drive versions such as the Skyline GT, GT-T etc. The GT-R badge was the top of the line.
I guess you dont know much about Skylines history. Every skyline since the dawn of time has come in 4 door. People would refer to the RB26 models simply as the GTR, no one would even says skyline. So nissan just cut out the name and literally called it a GTR.
Anders Kristensen Maybe so maybe no. They also share the same chassis code as skylines. Its VIN has R35. If you know that is the skyline chassis code. R34, R33, R32, R31 etc etc. Yet another thing making it a skyline. The taillights, another trademark skyline feature dating back to even the original skylines. AWD, 6 cyl turbo. Since Nissan is under new management maybe they are trying to seperate from the past or something, but either way this is a skyline. They are just trying to erase the history that they would make 4 door versions, so its in its own class. Not "oh its just the highest trim version of this 4 door shitbox".
Congratulations, Nissan. From 480hp to over 600hp(from 2009 to the current model), the GT-R is definitely a dream car. It's a car that I can actually sit in comfortably. It doesn't sit as low as a Miata or a BMW Z3(or Z4). The transmission is suitable for me since it can be used as an automatic! Works for me!
What I like about Jay's garage is the man himself. He's a great communicator, funny and very knowledgeable. He would make an excellent Englishman!!! He gives people like me a dream of owning cars that I could never afford. Well done mate.
It ain't that easy bro, I use best mics and wind buffers money can buy. Jay gets these cars out and drives them, part of the deal. Start your own UA-cam channel. Hotshot
@@blkcyborg92 I'm talking about the GTR specifically. GTR sounds uniquely beastly while your typical v8 mustang sounds like a straight piped Honda civic
T.O.P.S none of you guys know what your talking about.... the GT-R r35 is no longer a skyline it's just a GT-R now and skyline wasn't moved anywhere, infiniti is a marketing names used by nissan to distribute more nissan cars in the American market with that being said the skyline always existed since the 50's and the so called infiniti g35 and g37 are really the skyline 350gt and the 370gt. Nissan always made the skyline but the combination of skyline and gtr came about in 1970 now all they did was pull it apart again. Infiniti doesn't exist it's just a marketing name they're all nissans so the g35 and g37 form part of the V series skylines not the R like the GT-Rs but they have always been skylines please inform yourselves before arguing it's pathetic and embarrassing to us real enthusiasts of the car..
***** wrong! prince motor company merged with nissan to become one company THEN they built the skyline please don't even try to act like you know when you don't ok buddy
One of the best thing about this car is that the look of it , pretty much the same today’s Nissan GT-R (2019).. no other cars sticks to the good looking design.
I love Japanese cars! Just got an Infinity Q50 with the twin turbo V-6. It's crazy fast and the acceleration is so nuts! The on-board electronics are unreal.
My favorite car on the road today. Nissan hit an absolute home run with this automobile. For the cost, you really cannot beat this beauty. A worthy successor to the Skyline. (I know its not a true successor I just meant the next Nissan road beast)
Jay- check out a shop named AMS just outside Chicago. I took my WRX (you have not done a WRX, no?) in to have my two year pile of parts installed and dyno pro-tuned. They have a GT-R program definitely worthy of an episode.
Nissan and the Japanese in general make and take take cars to a different level but they just dont hold the value as much as the Italian made cars. I think the Nissan GTR is a fabulous car.
You put the GTR up against any American or European car it will leave it for dust the Japanese are the ones who now move the car industry forward in innovation and design. They not only go fast they are as you say reliable and very fuel efficient, you get so many optional extras thrown in as opposed to the European or American cars. In fact I would even go as far as to say all the Americans do is make ugly cars with big block engines in them with no road handling at all they are only worth anything in America.
+namit khan yo, the z28 destroyed a GTR in a time by time comparison and in a track race, not only that, the z28 is cheaper and has more engine parts than the GTR, the GTR is a beautiful car but is limited compared to the Camaro 5th gen, and also, Camaro has more heritage and at least our transmission doesn't crack when we build up the power :)
The American cars have loads of power but no road handling at all, Anybody can build a car with a big block v8 but what use is it if it is a death trap with no road handling. The GTR has the most superior road handling system in the world.
I cringe every time I see a car parked without the e brake on. Why so many people do that is beyond me. That's almost as annoying as people that slam it into drive while they're still rolling backwards. Both put strain on the transmission and accelerate wear. Is that 2 seconds really worth 3 grand for a new transmission?
Great cars, I had a GTS-T Type M when I was in Japan you could watch the gas gauge move when you opened it up on the freeway LOVED it! Wish I could have brought it back with me, I now have a Ford ST also a great car, thought I would just say that for some reason, miss Japan sometimes
anyone who mods a skyline for their own personal use better be racing professionally and own no other car. there's just no need to make it faster for anything but pissing contests. this looks well done, but excessive for the car's intents.
You see, this is not the "wanted" one. It won't be as valuable in a future market. People of the future will want the first one's, or the fastest one's. This one's a 2010, making it in the middle of the road. Look at how much these cars drop in value. You can buy an 09 GT-R for 29,000$. That's a price I've seen them listed for. Your point just doesn't prove true with this particular car.
The 350Z was sort of the succesor of the Skyline. Nissan wanted to make the Skyline a more luxury car, so they made the Infiniti G cars, and the 350Z was supposed to be the next sports car from Nissan.
***** No, I really meant it. I Just read that you said the 35oz was more or less the successor to the skyline and then I kinda stopped reading and commented.
Test drive a Corvette before you head on over and sign for the GTR. Test drive it too,don't take everyone's OVER-HYPED reviews on the car. Its a different animal when you actually drive it. I'm not saying its bad, just a different car from what you would actually expect.
Stunning. And Jay you’re right about the 370Z, I own one here in England. They’re GT cars for sure, but in all the right ways tho. The full spec package here is actually called the GT Edition, sooo ... I drove mine down to Monte Carlo, had a coffee, and drove home again to London, can’t wait to do it again. But that GTR Dude, that’s real automotive progress. The Japanese are showing off again. Cool.
I think the opposite is true. The 350Z and 370Z are more of a true sports car and the GT-R is the grand tourer. Yes, it has more power but it also is a four seater and it has no option for a manual trans. It is an awesome car and crazy fast but that does not make it a true sports car. The Z cars, while far from perfect are much closer to the classic sports car form factor 'a small, usually two seater, two door automobile designed for spirited performance and nimble handling' (Merriam-Webster) Sports cars should be quick and fun but do not need 500hp to qualify them as a sports car.
Surprised Leno doesn't have a 90's Nissan Skyline or a late 70's Datsun 280xz in his collection instead of this. The 2010 GT-R is pretty awesome, but I wouldn't think it would be something a collector would want, it's a bit too common and not all that important historically.
this is real sports car, unlike stupid Bugatti 1200 horsepower with no great increase in performance as drifting and maneuvering and Lamborghini with only the looks of it being cool. Most important of all, the GTR is not overpriced, the only sports car that worth every penny on the market. Go home Porsche , Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, you guys are drunk. GTR ftw
ipdjbt Fast and Furious 3 might have been stupid but the judicial and calculated application of drifting is something that exists throughout from motorsport: from F1 to Rally Racing it's sometimes just faster to slide than to slow down for a sharp change in nose direction. But this guy probably is stupid, eve if drifting isn't. The GTR can't beat a Porshe 918, it can't beat a Ferrari F12, it can't beat a Lamborghini Aventador, and it sure has shit can't beat a Bugatti Veyron. There are supercars and then there are hypercars. Your supercars are you Ferarri F458s, your Lamborghini Huracans, your Aston Martin Vanquishes and your Nissan GTRs. They're between $100k and $300k. They're amazing. A GTR is better than some, and beaten by others in terms of pure performance. But you can't ignore the value of branding. But then you have Hypercars. Cars that cost around a Million Dollars. The McLauren P1, the Pagani Zonda, the Koenigsegg, the Ferarri FXX, the Bugati Super-Sport. You can't expect a GTR to beat these Juggernauts made entirely out of Titanium and Carbon Fiber that have engines roughly 50% bigger than the GTRs.
for the money i agree but if that wasn't the problem i would rather have each of the other cars you said by far. i'd also respect the gtr more if it didn't have a horrible interior.
I love how Jay, even with his enormous wealth is still humble within himself and to his viewers when he says $100k is a lot of money and even the $29k tuner kit for this car is expensive. He's a rich a famous guy, but he's one of the only celebs that seem to be just one of the guys.

+namit khan yo, the z28 destroyed a GTR in a time by time comparison and in a track race, not only that, the z28 is cheaper and has more engine parts than the GTR, the GTR is a beautiful car but is limited compared to the Camaro 5th gen, and also, Camaro has more heritage and at least our transmission doesn't crack when we build up the power :)
The American cars have loads of power but no road handling at all, Anybody can build a car with a big block v8 but what use is it if it is a death trap with no road handling.
The GTR has the most superior road handling system in the world.
+namit khan did you read the response above you? American cars can handle amazing now days.
"American cars can't handle" 6th Gen Camaro Z/28, Mustang GT350R, and the 7th Gen Corvette Z06 say hi.
Am I the only one that fast forward to the TEST RIDE?
No
Haha I don't usually but I did
Thank God. Its great to see cars of this performance in a normal surroundings.
That guy has a super scary laugh.

Well, he IS a monster...
I cringe every time I see a car parked without the e brake on. Why so many people do that is beyond me. That's almost as annoying as people that slam it into drive while they're still rolling backwards. Both put strain on the transmission and accelerate wear. Is that 2 seconds really worth 3 grand for a new transmission?
Girls do that a lot that i've seen. I cringe when people turn on their car and go straight to drive and just go...like nooo poor engine!!!
TwisTed Taipan It's not an emergency break it's a parking break. Good luck yanking that in an emergency
Great cars, I had a GTS-T Type M when I was in Japan you could watch the gas gauge move when you opened it up on the freeway LOVED it! Wish I could have brought it back with me, I now have a Ford ST also a great car, thought I would just say that for some reason, miss Japan sometimes
"Are these carbon fiber rotors?" 😂
That`s Correct
lmao
It's a good thing that Jay asked me to 'Calm down' at around 8 minutes because I was waiting for the beast to be released ;)
This car is really nice, but I like the NSX the best.
Personally, I would NEVER modify one of these cars if I had one. It would add all the more value keeping it stock for the future market.
anyone who mods a skyline for their own personal use better be racing professionally and own no other car. there's just no need to make it faster for anything but pissing contests. this looks well done, but excessive for the car's intents.
Charlie Clay this isnt a skyline
You see, this is not the "wanted" one. It won't be as valuable in a future market. People of the future will want the first one's, or the fastest one's. This one's a 2010, making it in the middle of the road. Look at how much these cars drop in value. You can buy an 09 GT-R for 29,000$. That's a price I've seen them listed for. Your point just doesn't prove true with this particular car.
$29,000??? Where?? Tell me where you saw that, because I'll buy it for that price haha. I've never seen an r35 go for that cheap yet.
ycm202 Right here. It's listed as an "09 200SX" people are fucking dumb. www.carsforsale.com/used_cars_for_sale/2009_nissan_200sx_163946787_34
This is my new favorite show on youtube!
What does everyone think of the Honda NSX?
it's my "realistic" dream car
zenzombie72 sexy
This guy Shen's pretty cool.
Right, Definitely, That´s correct!
The 350Z was sort of the succesor of the Skyline.
Nissan wanted to make the Skyline a more luxury car, so they made the Infiniti G cars, and the 350Z was supposed to be the next sports car from Nissan.
***** The Skyline still continues... Nissan Skyline 350GT AKA Infinity G35 which, imo, is better than 350z
The Ferocious Striker Ohmygod...-_-
I can read from Wikipedia too.
***** Oh sh*t I mustve skipped the part were you talked about the Infinities, wow, that's embarrassing in my part :(. Sorry man.
The Ferocious Striker Sarcastic or not?
Sorry, I can't tell over the internet.
***** No, I really meant it. I Just read that you said the 35oz was more or less the successor to the skyline and then I kinda stopped reading and commented.
this is my dream car
if only it was red
You can say whatever you want about Leno, but you cannot complain about his affinity for cars.
This is Godzilla, for sure!
Jay leno must not have driven a Track 350Z turbo.
I agree that is a fun car, but doesn't compare to the GTR. Have you driven a 350Z with a supercharged 5.4L V8?
GT-R for the win. Jay Leno - for President.
this car is fucking hot
Fast as a Ferrari or Porsche GT-3, half the price, Japanese (less aftermarket costs and maintenance costs). I may make it mine...
Test drive a Corvette before you head on over and sign for the GTR. Test drive it too,don't take everyone's OVER-HYPED reviews on the car. Its a different animal when you actually drive it. I'm not saying its bad, just a different car from what you would actually expect.
yeah exactly, half the price of a Ferrari for a fucking Nissan. What a joke.
Get a V8 for half the price
Stunning. And Jay you’re right about the 370Z, I own one here in England. They’re GT cars for sure, but in all the right ways tho. The full spec package here is actually called the GT Edition, sooo ... I drove mine down to Monte Carlo, had a coffee, and drove home again to London, can’t wait to do it again. But that GTR Dude, that’s real automotive progress. The Japanese are showing off again. Cool.
All I heard was: "Definitely"
He seemed a bit nervous.
Right....right...correct...correct...
Man that thing looks so nice cruising down the freeway. Love it in black too.
I think the opposite is true. The 350Z and 370Z are more of a true sports car and the GT-R is the grand tourer. Yes, it has more power but it also is a four seater and it has no option for a manual trans. It is an awesome car and crazy fast but that does not make it a true sports car. The Z cars, while far from perfect are much closer to the classic sports car form factor 'a small, usually two seater, two door automobile designed for spirited performance and nimble handling' (Merriam-Webster) Sports cars should be quick and fun but do not need 500hp to qualify them as a sports car.
Plus, its more accessible
I couldn't agree more. And I actually like the look of the Z better. The GT-R looks too much like a Mustang to me.
Surprised Leno doesn't have a 90's Nissan Skyline or a late 70's Datsun 280xz in his collection instead of this. The 2010 GT-R is pretty awesome, but I wouldn't think it would be something a collector would want, it's a bit too common and not all that important historically.
Newest older one he could legally import would be an R31.
I think, I didn't look at if that drive vid was from this year. We have lots of R32's, R33's, and R34's here in Canada.
+Len M. I think the r32 is legal to import as of 2014.
+geneva1999 He doesn't have this in his collection. It belongs to someone else.
+geneva1999 from your channel picture i assume you just teenager (so im not mad)and have zero knowledge how this car born.
well deserved over 2 million views. thank you Alex, thank you Jay.
johnny depp's japanese brother
Ha ha dam..
Jay Leno should just gift me a GT-R :P
Wow...sounds freaking great!!!! Seriously.
this is real sports car, unlike stupid Bugatti 1200 horsepower with no great increase in performance as drifting and maneuvering and Lamborghini with only the looks of it being cool. Most important of all, the GTR is not overpriced, the only sports car that worth every penny on the market. Go home Porsche , Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, you guys are drunk. GTR ftw
Drifitng is fucking stupid. That is all I read from your stupid comment.
ipdjbt Fast and Furious 3 might have been stupid but the judicial and calculated application of drifting is something that exists throughout from motorsport: from F1 to Rally Racing it's sometimes just faster to slide than to slow down for a sharp change in nose direction.
But this guy probably is stupid, eve if drifting isn't. The GTR can't beat a Porshe 918, it can't beat a Ferrari F12, it can't beat a Lamborghini Aventador, and it sure has shit can't beat a Bugatti Veyron.
There are supercars and then there are hypercars. Your supercars are you Ferarri F458s, your Lamborghini Huracans, your Aston Martin Vanquishes and your Nissan GTRs. They're between $100k and $300k. They're amazing. A GTR is better than some, and beaten by others in terms of pure performance. But you can't ignore the value of branding.
But then you have Hypercars. Cars that cost around a Million Dollars. The McLauren P1, the Pagani Zonda, the Koenigsegg, the Ferarri FXX, the Bugati Super-Sport. You can't expect a GTR to beat these Juggernauts made entirely out of Titanium and Carbon Fiber that have engines roughly 50% bigger than the GTRs.
Drifting in an AWD? No. I will agree with one thing you said though, for the money, you're not getting anything better than this.
for the money i agree but if that wasn't the problem i would rather have each of the other cars you said by far. i'd also respect the gtr more if it didn't have a horrible interior.
I'd go for the Porsche!
Correct, correct, riggggght, rigggght HEH HEH HEH defiantly, right, right.
I went shopping for a Ferrari and came home with one of these.Cheaper and faster.Love it.
not too sure you guys know the difference between a ricer and a tuner..
