Should I buy gtr35 2008 or 2009 pls help

[iloveskyline]

A R35 is an R35 whether it's 08 or 09. And unless you're Sepang-ing or track-ing it very very often, you'll never really use all of it's electronic and mechanical goodness on normal M'sian roads.

So if I were you, I'd forget about what others have to say and just go try whichever model you like, and if it makes you feel good - then buy it.

Afterall, a skyline is still a skyline regardless 08 or 09. It's not like the 08 model is going to lose to a lesser car.

AGREE!!

Hey bro...ive decided on the 09' due to the condition (after being inspected by my personal mechanic) before purchasing the car....think the main concern aint 08-09 model (but make sure its no 4,000 onwards - due to the recall on faults to the transmission) but u should just decide on the UK Vs Jpan Specs. I went for the UK and after a month driving it i have yet to complete browsing through the centre screen where so many cool stuff would just amaze ya...(dont do it while ur driving tho..hehe). In terms of performance of both 08-09....nil....price...there is...(talking about 20-30k here)...happy 'hunting'!

Actually is almost same, just the speedo meter unit is diff. When u see a UK spec, that is definitely a yr 2009(in jpn call as 平成21年) GTR35. Anyway, i found out many of mudah.com selling yr 2009 GTR was actually is a yr 2008 GTR.....

As a suggestion form some GTR35 owner, if u wanna get a CBA-R35, get the last batch yr 2009(in jpn call as 平成21年) GTR35, which our Mudah.com will stated as yr 2010 GTR35. That is another way to find out a last batch of CBA-R35 which is to check the brake caliper. For earlier batch(2007-2008) GTR35, the caliper show "Brembo"; whereas the last batch of CBA-R35, it show "Nissan Brembo".

Bro, sori my ignorance, how can dealer sell a 2008 model but stated as 2009? Didn't that has the yr state in the jp reg card or label on the safety belt ant yr manufacturing?

just sent the chassis number to nissan japan to clarify

the year stated at car dealer is not so accurate since this is 'Boleh Land'

And one more thing is, the chassis num of jpn spec and uk spec is diff, MY09 GTR35 chassis num should be 010004<; MY09 UK spec chassis num will be 11XX if not mistaken.
