Nissan GT-R Review(with Video)

Overview 

The Nissan GT-R also called “Godzilla” is once one of the baddest, most sought-after coupes in the market. It is based on the Skyline GT-R, one of the most popular sports cars of the 1960s, It also has received a complete redesign when it was introduced back in 2007 but after decades in the market, the GT-R still has a lot of work to do if it hopes to outrace its competitors and retain its status as the “Godzilla” of JDM. 

There is still no doubt however that the Nissan provides acceleration for all speed junkies. It is powered by a twin-turbo V-6 engine that can produce up to 570 hp and 633 Nm of torque. External features are also easy to the eyes with its swept-back headlamps, large side vents, and 20-inch rims. 

Inside the cabin is another matter altogether. With an exorbitant 6 digit price, one would expect to get more when it comes to technology but the cabin of the Nissan GT-R proves to be a bit wanting. It has an all-leather cabin that can easily fit four people. It is also equipped with a push start button, a Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control, and a Bose Sound System. The Nissan GT-R also comes with a seven-inch touchscreen and navigation display.

How to import a JDM Car to UK and Other Countries through Kobe Motor Japanese car auctions. 

JDM stands for Japan Domestic Market or Japanese Domestic Market cars. These refer to cars that are made up to par with Japanese domestic automotive standards. JDM cars are also known for their high quality and technologically savvy innovativeness. These cars are considered to be efficient, durable, and reliable and will not give car owners unnecessary headaches  

Even in the UK, Japanese cars are gaining popularity. More and more people have been turning to Japanese Car Auctions looking to buy the car of their dreams. 

While the task of importing JDM cars may be daunting, it isn’t impossible. There will likely be lots of paperwork involved. 

There are also advantages to buying and importing JDM cars aside from its known durability and efficiency:

• Japanese are fit for right-hand driving. Japan, just like the UK, drives on the left, and therefore getting a JDM car won’t have to cost you re-fits to make it suitable for UK roads. 

• Japan offers a wide range of quality cars from sedans, mid-size SUVs, and even sports cars. What’s more brands like Toyota, Nissan, and Honda have long dominated the car industry especially in Asia for their known efficiency and reliability 

• JDM cars are also known to be more durable than other cars made abroad because these cars have to fit the stringent standard of the competitive Japanese markets. 

• Japan has a thriving second-hand cars industry. All of these cars are marketed to other countries as exports. Some would still want a brand new imported car but it is also very important to know that Japanese cars, even second-hand ones, are known for their durability.  All these are available from Japanese Used car exporters Such as Kobe Motor or through The Japanese Car Auction.
