Overview of the Nissan GT-R Nismo Special Edition
This is a 2024 Nissan GT-R Nismo Special Edition, chassis code 4BA-R35, offered at USS Tokyo as lot 65027 on 22 October 2026. It is finished in white (factory colour code QAB) with the black carbon bonnet, black roof, red pinstriping and large rear wing that mark out the Nismo. The 3.8 litre twin turbo V6 drives all four wheels through an automatic gearbox, and the car is right hand drive.
The headline is the odometer. The sheet records just 66 km, which is approximately 41 miles. It is graded 6 overall with interior grade A, has one owner, a new car service book with warranty booklet and a spare key, and the damage diagram is completely blank. The sheet also carries the heading 名車コーナー, the prestige car corner that auction houses use for notable cars. For a buyer who wants the final and most extreme form of the R35 in essentially new condition, this is the kind of lot that rarely appears.
The Drive Review
The R35 GT-R has always been about the way it delivers speed rather than about delicacy. The VR38DETT engine is a hand assembled 3.8 litre twin turbo V6, and in Nismo form it pulls hard and cleanly from low revs with a dense, mechanical surge towards the redline. The cluster in this car shows a tachometer scaled to 8,000 rpm with a red face and Nismo branding. Power goes through a rear mounted dual clutch automatic and a front biased all wheel drive system, so traction out of corners is extraordinary and the car feels planted in conditions that would unsettle most rivals.
The Nismo differs from the standard GT-R through its lower weight, stiffer body, aerodynamic parts and sharper suspension tuning, and the carbon fibre bonnet, roof and bodywork visible in the photographs belong to that approach. The ride is firm and the car makes its mechanical noises openly, with gearbox whirrs and clunks at low speed that are part of the character. It is not a delicate analogue sports car. It is a heavy, brutally fast and very capable machine that rewards commitment, and the Nismo version is the most focused way to enjoy it. The sheet lists a sports resetting as completed, but does not explain what it covers, so its scope is not confirmed.

Inside are a suede style dashboard top, red stitching, carbon fibre console trim and a central touchscreen. Other equipment is not confirmed on the sheet.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The sheet gives the grade as 6, the interior grade as A and the odometer as 66 km. It records the new car service book with warranty booklet as present, which confirms the books are there. Maintenance history beyond that is not described. The sales points translate as: one owner, BOSE sound system, paint coating applied, reversing camera, sports resetting completed, dash cam, NISMO Special Edition and spare key present. Owner manuals are not mentioned.
The inspector has written no faults, no warnings and no comments on the engine, gearbox, clutch, leaks, air conditioning, electrics, suspension, brakes, exhaust, rust or underbody. No accident repair or replaced panels are declared. The only note the staff could not fully read is the scope of the sports resetting. Keys: a spare key is present.
The cluster photograph shows a Japanese message reading 販売店で点検下さい, meaning please have it checked at a dealer, together with an orange warning triangle and an orange tyre pressure symbol. The sheet does not explain these. Treat them as something to ask about rather than assume.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The damage diagram has no marks at all. There are no scratch, dent, repaint, repair, rust, corrosion or glass codes anywhere on the body, and no panels are recorded as replaced. Together with a 66 km reading and grade 6, that points to a car that has barely left the showroom.
The photographs agree. The white paint looks clean and even, the carbon bonnet and roof show good gloss, and the wheels and lower trim look undamaged. A blue protective film is visible along the side sills, which suggests the car has been kept in near delivery condition. Overall this is collector grade condition, although it is still a lot sold at auction and should be judged on the sheet and photographs.
Interior Condition
The interior grade is A, the top mark. The photographs show seats still covered in protective plastic and a Nissan paper floor mat, which fits the extremely low mileage. The suede style dashboard top, the red stitched leather and the carbon console trim look unmarked, and the Nismo steering wheel and red topped selector appear fresh. The sheet records no smoke, odour, wear or damage, and the interior colour is left blank, so it is not confirmed on the sheet.
Japanese Auction Grades
Grade 6 is reserved for cars in effectively as new condition, usually with very few kilometres and no repair history. Interior grade A is the top interior mark. Auction grades are an independent opinion of condition, not a guarantee.
Model History
The R35 Nissan GT-R was introduced in Japan in 2007 as a clean sheet successor to the Skyline GT-R line, carrying the VR38DETT engine, a rear mounted dual clutch transaxle and the ATTESA E-TS all wheel drive system. It was developed to take on far more expensive supercars, and it was refined steadily over a production run of well over a decade. The Nismo version arrived in 2014 and was reworked in 2020 with turbochargers derived from the GT3 racing programme, a lighter body and extensive carbon fibre. The Special Edition seen here is one of the final expressions of the car, carrying the 2024 model year in the R35 life cycle.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The GT-R Nismo is the ultimate road going R35. It sits at the end of a lineage that began with the Skyline GT-R, and the R35 is widely seen as the last of the big, hand built, internal combustion all wheel drive Japanese flagships. Engine assembly by a single technician, strong motorsport links and a design that has barely dated all add to its appeal, and demand from collectors around the world has grown as the model has been phased out.
A right hand drive car from the dealer network with only 66 km, one owner, books and a spare key is exactly what collectors look for. It is not eligible for the United States 25 year rule, but many other markets can import cars of this age, so buyers should confirm their own country's rules. We cannot guarantee future values, and the car should be bought to be enjoyed rather than treated as an investment.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
On any R35, the dual clutch gearbox is the key mechanical item. It needs its own fluid servicing at the intervals Nissan specifies, and early life abuse such as repeated launch control starts is the thing to avoid. With 66 km this car has had almost no use, so ask for the full service book record and any dealer pre delivery work. Check that the sports resetting, which the sheet does not explain, was carried out by Nissan or Nismo and whether it affects the warranty in your country.
The cluster in the photograph displays a dealer check message and warning symbols, so ask for a scan and a dealer inspection on arrival. Confirm that the tyre pressure monitoring is working correctly. Look at the carbon bonnet, roof and rear wing for lacquer clouding or chips when the protective film comes off, and check that the wing mounting is secure. The car is in its original bodywork with no marks on the diagram, so keep it that way during transport.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japanese dealer cars are generally kept in good order, and a one owner car with books, a spare key and a clear auction sheet gives you a transparent picture before you bid. Right hand drive Nismo cars in this condition are difficult to find elsewhere.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
After a successful bid, the car is paid for, deregistered, shipped and then cleared through customs in your country. Check your own country's age, emissions, safety and registration rules before bidding, because they differ widely and a car that is legal in one market can be refused in another.
Why Import Through Autoselecta
Autoselecta gives you direct access to Japanese auctions, a translated and checked auction sheet, sourcing, bidding assistance, export handling, shipping, import support and vehicle tracking where available. We stay in contact throughout, from the first bid to arrival and registration support in your country.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but are still used vehicles, even at 66 km. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide, not a mechanical warranty. Even an almost new performance car may need servicing, fluid changes or a dealer check after purchase. Please note the inspector has recorded no faults, but the cluster photograph shows a dealer check message and warning symbols, and the scope of the sports resetting is not explained on the sheet.
