Overview of the Nissan GT-R Black Edition
This is a 2024 Nissan GT-R Black Edition, chassis code 4BA-R35, first registered in April 2024 (Reiwa 6) and offered at USS Osaka as lot 20353 in the Prime Time Corner section. It carries a 3,800 cc twin turbo V6 petrol engine, a floor shifted automatic gearbox and four wheel drive. The auction sheet records 6,600 km, approximately 4,101 miles. It is graded 5 overall with interior grade A, and the inspector found only light cosmetic marks.
The Black Edition pairs black paint (colour code GAG) with model specific Recaro seats trimmed in black and red. The sheet also shows a new car service book, a BOSE sound system and a Nissan warranty that was transferred in October 2025. The GT-R is among the last of its kind, and a Japanese market car with this little use is a strong find for a buyer in any country.
The Drive Review
The R35 GT-R has never been a delicate sports car, and that is the point. Its VR38DETT engine is a 3.8 litre twin turbo V6 that is assembled by hand, and it delivers its power with a thick, relentless shove from low revs. Power goes through a rear mounted dual clutch transaxle and the ATTESA E-TS all wheel drive system, so traction out of a corner is remarkable on a wet road as well as a dry one.
The gearbox is the character piece. It swaps ratios quickly when pushed and makes mechanical sounds at parking speeds that owners learn to accept. Steering is heavy and accurate, the chassis is stiff, and the car hides its size and weight with grip and a pair of huge brakes. Against a modern electric supercar it feels more mechanical and noisier, with turbo whooshes and a rasping exhaust. The later cars, including this 2024, were refined in cabin quality, damping and noise levels without losing that mechanical edge.
The Black Edition adds the Recaro seats, which hold the body well on a hard drive but are less relaxed than the standard leather. For a driver who wants the final R35 specification with proper bucket seating, this is the trim to look at.
Auction Details
The car sells at USS Osaka on 9 October 2026 (Japan date), lot number 20353, in the Prime Time Corner. The auction start price is ¥14,800,000. The Autoselecta guide bidding range is £73,000 to £88,250. This is an estimated bidding range based on Japanese auction history, not a guaranteed purchase price, and we cannot say the car will sell within it. For reference, 12 similar cars sold at Japanese auctions between £80,888 and £88,307, typically about £85,722, though that range includes other versions and conditions and is auction data, not Autoselecta sales. The minimum bid and the landed cost for your country are shown in the price panel on this page.
All bids must be submitted before 9PM UK time the evening before auction. For this car that means the deadline is 9pm UK time on Thursday 8 October.

Factory Features and Equipment
The sheet marks genuine alloy wheels, power steering, power windows, leather, TV, navigation and airbags, with automatic air conditioning. The sales points list a BOSE sound system, manufacturer navigation and TV, model specific Recaro seats, genuine 20 inch alloy wheels, a reversing camera and ETC (toll card unit).
The photographs show black alloy wheels with orange brake calipers behind them, titanium tinted exhaust finishers, a fixed rear wing, daytime running lights in the front bumper and a GT-R badged steering wheel. The centre screen and the black and red Recaro seats are visible in the interior photograph. A smart key sits on the driver's seat. Aftermarket modifications are not recorded on the sheet.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The sheet confirms the model as a Nissan GT-R Black Edition, 4BA-R35, 3800 cc, coupe, 4WD, floor automatic and automatic air conditioning. Evaluation is 5 and the interior supplementary grade is A. The odometer reads 6,600 km. Fuel is petrol and the original colour is black, with the colour change box showing an arrow meaning no change.
The new car service book with warranty is marked present. The sales points include a note that the Nissan warranty was inherited (transferred) in October 2025 (R7).
The points to note section says the warranty booklet, owner's manual and spare smart key are marked 後日, meaning they will be supplied at a later date and are not with the car on the day. So the books and the spare key should not be assumed to arrive with it.
The inspector's report reads: driver's seat edge creasing and small scuffs, and small scratches. Nothing else is recorded. There is no comment on the engine, the gearbox, oil or coolant leaks, warning lights, air conditioning, tyres, underbody, rust, accident repair or smell. The vehicle history field is blank, the import car fields (year, import type, steering) are blank and the transfer document validity date is blank.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The diagram has four marks. At the front bumper there is an A, a small scratch. Also on the front bumper is スリA, a rub or scrape mark with a small scratch. On the bonnet there is another A, a small scratch. In the box below the bonnet, read as the front windscreen, is トビA, which indicates stone chips of minor size. We cannot be certain of this location, because it sits just behind the bonnet outline and could instead refer to the rear edge of the bonnet.
There are no dents, no repair marks, no replaced panels, no rust or corrosion and no paint fade or mismatch marked anywhere. The photographs show deep, even black paint with the usual auction reflections, though the glare makes fine marks hard to judge. The overall condition is close to collector grade, with only everyday front end marks that suit a car that has covered 6,600 km.
Interior Condition
The interior is grade A. The inspector notes only creasing on the edge of the driver's seat bolster with small scuffs, which is the normal result of getting into a deep Recaro seat. The photographs show clean black and red leather, a tidy dashboard with red stitching, the steering wheel with the GT-R logo, a clear navigation screen and carpet mats in good order. The seat on the passenger side and the rear seats show no damage in the photographs available.
The instrument photograph shows a door ajar message in Japanese on the display and some warning lamps lit with the car at rest and the gear selector in P. These are typical of an auction yard photo and are not recorded as faults by the inspector. The odometer is only partly legible in that image, so we rely on the sheet reading of 6,600 km.
Japanese Auction Grades
Grade 5 is one of the highest scores awarded at Japanese auctions, for a car in near new condition with minimal marks. Interior grade A is the best interior rating, meaning very little wear. This car carries 5 for the exterior and A for the interior.
Model History
Nissan launched the R35 GT-R in Japan in December 2007, replacing the R34 Skyline GT-R and dropping the Skyline name. It brought the VR38DETT engine, the rear mounted dual clutch transaxle and an all wheel drive system developed at the Nürburgring, where the car set its early reputation. Across its life Nissan updated the car almost every year, with changes to power, cooling, brakes, suspension and cabin quality, and offered the more focused Nismo and the lighter Track Edition. Production of the R35 has since come to an end, and the 2024 model year cars are among the last built.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The R35 is the last of the GT-R line with a combustion engine and a hand assembled V6, and Nissan has not yet replaced it. Its fifteen year run, motorsport links through GT racing and its reputation as a car that embarrassed far pricier rivals give it lasting appeal. The late cars carry the most developed hardware, and a low mileage Black Edition with its service book and Nissan warranty history is a rarity.
Good Japanese examples are harder to find as owners keep them and prices of the late cars have held firm. That does not guarantee future values, and we do not present any car as an investment. It simply explains why demand from collectors and drivers around the world stays strong.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
On any R35 the dual clutch gearbox matters most. Ask how the car has been used, listen for rattles or clunks at low speed, and check that shifts are clean when warm. Launch control abuse is the main cause of expensive transmission work, though a car with 6,600 km should show little sign of it. Ask for the transfer case and gearbox oil service record, as the GT-R needs regular fluid changes. Check tyre condition and date codes, since the car uses large performance tyres that age out before they wear out.
On this car the sheet asks you to look at the driver's seat bolster, the front bumper and bonnet marks and the possible stone chips on the screen. Confirm in your own country whether the Nissan warranty transferred in Japan carries any cover outside Japan, as manufacturer warranties often do not travel. The books, manual and spare smart key are due later, so confirm with us how and when they will arrive.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japan keeps cars to a standard that is hard to match, with strict inspections, careful ownership and full documentation. A late R35 with low mileage and a service book is far easier to find at a Japanese auction than in most export markets, and the grading system lets you judge it before bidding.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before the sale but are still used vehicles. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide, not a mechanical warranty. A high performance car such as the GT-R may need servicing or maintenance after purchase. Please note the inspector's points on this car: small scratches and a scrape on the front bumper, a small scratch on the bonnet, probable stone chips, and creasing with small scuffs on the driver's seat. The warranty booklet, owner's manual and spare smart key are marked to be supplied later, not with the car.
