Overview of the Nissan GT-R Premium Edition
This is a 2024 Nissan GT-R Premium Edition, chassis code 4BA-R35, first registered in October 2024 (Reiwa 6) and offered at JU Shizuoka as lot 4097. The auction sheet records just 594 km, which is approximately 369 miles, and the car has been given an overall auction grade of 6 with A for both exterior and interior. It is finished in black, factory colour code GAG, with a 3,800 cc petrol engine, four wheel drive and a floor shift automatic gearbox.
Cars with this little use are rare at any stage of a model's life, and the final years of the R35 are the ones collectors are watching most closely. The sheet records a private use history, the new car warranty book is present and the inspector declares no faults or modifications. The only marks are light scuffs. For a buyer who wants the last and most developed form of the R35 GT-R in close to delivery condition, this is the kind of car worth a serious look.
The Drive Review
The R35 GT-R has always been about how much speed it can deliver with so little drama. The 3.8 litre twin turbo V6, known as the VR38DETT, is hand assembled by a single technician and delivers its power in a thick, rolling surge rather than a peaky rush. Power goes through a rear mounted dual clutch transaxle and the ATTESA E-TS four wheel drive system, which sends torque to wherever the grip is. In the wet or on a cold road, the car simply gets on with it.
Steering is quick and well weighted, and the chassis is more composed than its size suggests. It is a heavy car and you feel that in tight turns, but the grip and traction make up for it. The gearbox is the part that divides opinion. At low speed it can clunk and whirr in a way a conventional automatic never would, yet under load it shifts with real urgency. This car has the automatic only, with paddle style control, so it suits the buyer who wants fast, usable performance every day rather than a manual experience.
Compared with modern fast cars, the GT-R feels mechanical. There is real noise from the drivetrain, a firm ride and a sense of weight and engineering rather than software. That, along with the end of the R35's long production run, is a large part of the appeal.
Auction Details
The car is lot 4097 at JU Shizuoka, with an auction date in Japan of 13 October 2026. The auction start price is ¥7,000,000. The Autoselecta guide bidding range is £76,500 to £78,250. This is an estimated bidding range based on the information we have, not a guaranteed purchase price, and we cannot say the car will sell within it. For reference, twelve similar cars sold at Japanese auctions between £80,776 and £92,940, typically around £85,604, though that range covers other versions and conditions and is not Autoselecta's own sales.

The steering side is not marked on the sheet. The photographs show the steering wheel on the right, so this appears to be a right hand drive Japanese market car.
Factory Features and Equipment
The sheet marks power steering, power windows, ABS, airbag, alloy wheels, navigation, TV and leather. Automatic air conditioning is also recorded. The photographs show dark multi spoke alloy wheels, a large rear wing, quad exhaust outlets with blue tinted finishers, a touchscreen in the centre of the dashboard, a start button on the console and aluminium style pedals. The rear seats are shaped as two individual seats divided by a central console with cup holders.
The new car warranty book is marked as present. Maintenance books, owner manuals, a spare key and the number of keys are not confirmed on the auction sheet. The photographs show a key tag hanging from the mirror, but this does not confirm how many keys come with the car.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The inspector's report reads as follows. Half leather seats. Small scratches (A), although the meaning of this line is not certain. At 594 km, which confirms the odometer reading. No other faults, warnings, modifications or mechanical observations are written on the sheet.
The main sheet details translate as follows. Lot number 4097. First registration October 2024. Model and grade GT-R Premium Edition, 4WD circled. Model code 4BA-R35. Engine size 3,800 cc. Two doors, four seats. Auction grade 6, exterior A, interior A. History private use. Floor automatic transmission. Automatic air conditioning. Inspection expires 30 October 2027. Odometer 594 km.

The accident repair history field is printed on the sheet but no location is written in it, so no accident repair location is recorded. The leather mark is circled while the inspector separately notes half leather seats. Buyers should treat the seats as part leather, part suede style trim, as the photographs also suggest. This report was translated and checked by Autoselecta.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The diagram carries only three marks. The first is a scuff scratch (A) on the front bumper, which is a light surface scratch and the sort of mark a car picks up in a car park or being loaded. The second is another scuff scratch (A) at the rear left corner, either on the rear bumper or the left rear quarter, and the exact position is not certain. Both are minor cosmetic marks of the lowest severity, not dents, repairs or repaints.
A circled 7 appears at each of the four wheels. This is probably the tyre tread depth in millimetres, though that is not certain. If correct, the tyres are close to new, which is consistent with the low mileage.
No dents, panel repairs, replaced panels, rust or paint faults are marked. In the photographs the black paint looks glossy and even, though the lighting at the auction house limits what can be judged. The overall body condition is close to collector grade for a modern performance car, with only light cosmetic marks to the bumpers.
Interior Condition
The interior is graded A, the best letter on the sheet, and the photographs support that. The front seats show no obvious wear to the bolsters, the leather and suede style panels with pale stitching look clean, and the steering wheel, dashboard and centre console appear tidy. The rear seats look unused and the boot carpet and liner look clean. The floor mats appear in good condition, with the GT-R logo visible on the driver's mat.
The inspector notes no smoke, odour, headlining damage or seat damage. The sheet shows no interior faults, and none are visible in the photographs.
Japanese Auction Grades
A grade of 6 is a very high score on the Japanese auction scale, generally given to cars with very little wear and no significant defects. Exterior A and interior A are the top letter grades for body and cabin. Together they describe a car in excellent order for its use, though the sheet is a guide and not a warranty.
Model History
The R35 GT-R was introduced in Japan in late 2007 as the successor to the R34 Skyline GT-R, and it dropped the Skyline name entirely. It replaced the old inline six with the VR38DETT V6 and moved to a rear mounted dual clutch gearbox. Over its long production life Nissan raised power, sharpened the chassis and refreshed the interior and styling many times, with big changes for the 2017 model year and further refinement after that. The Premium Edition is a mainstream trim aimed at buyers who want everyday comfort alongside the performance. A car from October 2024 is from the late stage of the model's life.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The GT-R name carries enormous weight with enthusiasts, from the original Hakosuka to the Skyline GT-R generations that dominated Japanese touring car racing. The R35 carried that on with a handbuilt engine, serious track performance for the price and a reputation for tuning potential. As the car approaches the end of its production life, buyers have started to see the late cars as the last of a kind, with a big twin turbo petrol V6 and no hybrid system.
Low mileage examples are the ones that attract attention, because most R35s have been driven hard. Demand comes from worldwide buyers, and good, low mileage Japanese market cars are getting harder to source. We do not guarantee future values and do not present any car as an investment, but a clean late R35 is clearly wanted.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
On the R35, the gearbox is the first thing to understand. Rattles and clunks at low speed are common, but check that the service history of the transmission fluid is available, as the dual clutch unit is sensitive to fluid changes and to launch control abuse. Because this car shows only 594 km, there should be little wear, but ask about the dealer service and any pre delivery work.
Check the condition of the carbon ceramic or steel brakes where fitted, and the cost of replacement tyres, which on these cars can be considerable. The VR38DETT is generally strong, but coil packs and turbo related items have been known to need attention on high mileage cars. Check for fluid leaks around the transfer case and front differential.
For this car in particular, ask Autoselecta about the two scuffs, the unclear position of the rear left mark, the tread depth reading on the tyres, and whether the wing mirror key tag represents one key or more. The new car warranty book is present, but the manual, maintenance books and spare key are not confirmed.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japan keeps its cars in generally excellent condition, with careful use and well documented inspections. A late model GT-R with this mileage and an A and A grading is much easier to find at Japanese auction than elsewhere. You also see the actual sheet, so you can judge it before bidding.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
Once a car is won, it is paid for, deregistered in Japan, shipped to your country and cleared through customs under your own import rules. Check your country's rules on age, emissions, safety and right hand drive before you bid. Autoselecta can talk you through the steps.
Why Import Through Autoselecta
Autoselecta gives you direct access to Japanese auctions, translated auction sheets, bidding assistance, vehicle sourcing, export handling and shipping, with support on arrival and import in your own country and tracking where available.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but they are still used vehicles. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide and not a mechanical warranty. A performance car like the GT-R can need servicing, fluid changes or maintenance after purchase, even with low mileage. Please note the inspector's warnings again: scuff scratches (A) on the front bumper and at the rear left corner, the unclear small scratches line, the probable tread depth reading of 7 on all four tyres, half leather seats, and the blank accident repair location field. Maintenance books, manuals and a spare key are not confirmed on the sheet.
