Overview of the Nissan GT-R Premium Edition T-Spec
This 2024 Nissan GT-R Premium Edition T-Spec is a near new R35 coupe, offered at USS Yokohama on 6 October 2026 as lot 20025. It was first registered in February 2024 (Reiwa 6) and the auction sheet records just 290 kilometres, approximately 180 miles. It carries auction grade 5 with interior grade A, which places it among the strongest condition ratings a used car can receive at a Japanese auction.
The specification is the one serious GT-R buyers look for at the end of the R35 story. The chassis code is 4BA-R35, the engine is the 3,800 cc twin turbo V6, the transmission is an automatic with paddle shift, and drive goes to all four wheels. The car is finished in pearl white, colour code QAB, with gold wheels and yellow brake calipers visible in the photographs. The sheet lists carbon ceramic brakes, the NISMO Sports Resetting, a BOSE sound system, genuine navigation, full segment digital TV, a reversing camera and ETC among its sales points.
The damage diagram shows only light scratches: A1 on the front bumper, an A on the left side and an A1 on the right side. There are no repair, dent, rust or replaced panel marks. For a buyer anywhere in the world who wants a modern GT-R with almost nothing on the clock, a lot like this does not appear often.
The Drive Review: Nissan GT-R R35
The R35 GT-R has never tried to feel like a lightweight, delicate sports car. It is a large, heavy, four wheel drive coupe that uses engineering to cover the ground at a pace few cars can match. The 3.8 litre VR38DETT twin turbo V6 is hand assembled, and its character is a deep, muscular surge from low revs, a strong mid range and a hard, urgent top end. Throttle response is quick for a turbocharged engine of this size, and the way the car fires itself out of a corner is what most owners remember first.
The gearbox is a rear mounted six speed dual clutch transaxle, mounted at the back to balance weight, with the transfer of drive to the front axle handled by an advanced all wheel drive system. In the paddle shift modes the changes are rapid and decisive. At walking pace it can be mechanical and a little noisy, with the clunks and whirrs that enthusiasts accept as part of the car's identity. Left in automatic, it is perfectly capable of motorway cruising and everyday driving.
Steering is accurate and weighty, and the chassis rewards commitment. The mass is there to be felt, but the grip, the traction and the stability at speed make the car feel planted in a way that smaller rivals cannot. A modern GT-R is less about delicate feedback and more about confidence. You select the mode, pick the line, apply the throttle and the car does the rest, which is exactly why it humbled so many more expensive machines when it appeared.
The Premium Edition T-Spec adds a more refined and focused flavour to that formula. This car has carbon ceramic brakes, forged style gold wheels and a leather and suede style cabin. The sheet also mentions the NISMO Sports Resetting, a service that alters the sports settings of the car. The exact scope of that work is not described on the sheet, so buyers should ask us about it before bidding.

The points to note are genuine 20 inch alloy wheels, genuine floor mats, push button start, LED headlights, power seats, half leather seats and paddle shift, plus the line saying the owner's manual, warranty booklet, smart key and wheel lock nut will be sent later.
The sheet carries the heading Domestic Regular Corner, with the first preference of domestic regular circled. The spare circle on the diagram has no marking. The member number box at the bottom is cut off and cannot be read.
There are no inspector comments on engine noise, transmission, clutch, leaks, warning lights, air conditioning, electrical faults, suspension, steering, brakes, exhaust, rust, underbody, accident repair, smoke or odours. That means none were recorded on the sheet, which is not the same as a guarantee that the car has none.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The diagram is very clean. There are three marks in total. A1 on the front bumper means a small scratch. An A is written on the left side, in the door or sill area. It has no size number, so it is a scratch of unconfirmed size, and it is not clear whether it sits on the door or the sill. A1 on the right side, in the door or sill area, is another small scratch.
There are no dent marks, no repair or panel wave marks, no repainted panels, no replaced panels, no rust or corrosion, no cracks and no stone chips. In plain English, the inspector found only light surface marks. The photographs show a bright pearl white body with deep, even reflections, tidy panel gaps and an undamaged front splitter and rear diffuser, which agrees with the sheet. Photographs cannot show small scratches clearly, so the marked areas should be judged by the sheet.
Overall, this is close to collector grade condition. It is an almost unused example with only light scratches, rather than a car showing any signs of hard use.
Interior Condition
The interior is graded A. The photographs show a clean cabin in dark tones: a suede style dashboard top, pale contrast stitching, a touchscreen navigation unit, carbon fibre trim around the selector and a leather steering wheel. The seats show leather bolsters with textured centre panels, and no visible tears or heavy creasing are seen in the photographs provided. The rear seats are in leather with a central cup holder and a speaker visible between the seats, and they look almost unused.
The sheet does not mention any seat damage, dashboard marks, headlining problems, smoke or odour. The interior colour box is blank, so the colour is judged from the photographs only. The odometer display is not clearly visible in the photographs, so the figure of 290 km comes from the sheet.
Japanese Auction Grades Explained
Japanese auction grades summarise the inspector's view of the car. The main grade runs from S and 6 for new or near new cars, through 5, 4.5, 4, 3.5 and 3 for used cars, down to R and RA for repaired cars, with R meaning accident repair. Grade 5 is a very high rating, describing a car in excellent condition with little more than very minor marks. Combined with 290 km, it is what you would expect of an almost unused car.
The interior grade runs from A (very good) down to D. Interior grade A means a very clean cabin with no significant wear. The exterior grade in the feed is also 5. Auction grades are an independent guide to condition, not a warranty of mechanical health.
Model History: Nissan GT-R R35
The R35 GT-R was introduced in Japan in December 2007, after being shown at the Tokyo Motor Show that year. It dropped the Skyline name that the earlier generations carried and became simply the Nissan GT-R. It was a clean sheet design, with a hand assembled twin turbo V6, a rear mounted dual clutch transaxle and an advanced all wheel drive system. Its lap times at the Nürburgring and its presence in video games made it a global performance reference.
The car has stayed in production for a very long time and has been updated steadily. Power and torque have risen, the cabin has been reworked, and in 2017 the car received a significant facelift with a revised front end and interior. In the later years Nissan added more focused and more luxurious versions, including the T-Spec, which arrived for the 2024 model year with carbon ceramic brakes and lightweight wheels. This car is one of those later cars, first registered in February 2024.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The R35 is one of the defining cars of its era. It combines a hand built engine, a long production life, a strong motorsport and Nürburgring reputation, and a place in the Godzilla lineage that began with the earlier Skyline GT-R generations. As cars move towards electrification and automation, a twin turbo petrol V6 with a physical gear selector and paddles feels increasingly special.
Later cars are in demand because they carry the final refinements of the platform. Special versions such as the T-Spec attract particular interest, and cars with very low mileage are uncommon. Condition matters a great deal here, because many R35s have been tuned, tracked or driven hard. An example with 290 km, grade 5, a service book and only light scratches is the kind of car collectors look for. Demand from overseas buyers is strong, and good Japanese examples are becoming harder to source.
This is not an investment recommendation, and values can rise and fall. It is a car that enthusiasts want for the way it drives and for what it represents.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
Start with the paperwork. The sheet says the service book is present, while the owner's manual, warranty booklet, smart key and lock nut are to be sent later. Confirm with us what will arrive with the car. Ask about the NISMO Sports Resetting, since the sheet does not say what exactly was done.
On any R35, the main mechanical points are the dual clutch transmission, which should engage cleanly without judder or excessive noise, the engine, which should show no leaks or warning lights, and the brakes. Carbon ceramic discs are very strong but replacement is expensive, so wear should be checked. The all wheel drive system, the suspension and the tyres, which are costly, also deserve attention. Cars that have been launched repeatedly are the ones to avoid.
With only 290 km, this car has not yet been through a full run in period, and a full service after arrival by a specialist is sensible. We recommend buyers also check the import rules in their own country before bidding, including age, emissions, right hand drive and type approval.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japan is the home of the GT-R. Domestic market cars are usually offered with detailed inspections, careful use and strong service histories. Auction sheets give an independent view of condition that is difficult to find elsewhere. This particular car is a right hand drive Japanese market car with very low mileage and a high grade, a combination that is rare in any country.
Buying from Japan also gives access to specifications and cars that may never be offered locally, and the volume of cars at auction means buyers can compare many examples before choosing.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
Importing from Japan follows a clear process. You choose a car and place a maximum bid before the deadline. If you win, payment is made, the car is collected from the auction, the export paperwork is prepared and the car is deregistered in Japan. It is then shipped to a port near you, either by roll on roll off vessel or in a container.
On arrival, the car must clear customs and meet the registration rules of your country. These vary widely: some countries restrict by age, some by emissions, and some require inspections or modifications. Check these rules before bidding, and tell us your destination so we can prepare a quotation for the costs involved. Duties, taxes and compliance costs depend on the country and should be confirmed early. The price panel on this page shows live figures.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but are still used vehicles. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide, not a mechanical warranty. This car is graded 5 with interior A and shows 290 km, but older or newer performance cars can need servicing, maintenance or refurbishment after purchase.
Please note the points from this sheet again: small scratches are marked on the front bumper (A1), the left side (A, with no size number and an unclear panel) and the right side (A1). The owner's manual, warranty booklet, smart key and wheel lock nut are to be sent separately later, and the spare wheel is not confirmed. The scope of the NISMO Sports Resetting is not described. Shaken expiry, interior colour and the member number are not readable or blank on the sheet.
