2015 Nissan GT-R - FBO E85, Upgrade Trans
Year: 2015
Make: Nissan
Model: GT-R
Price: $75900
Mileage: 17500
Color: White
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): GA
Transmission: Automatic
Drivetrain: 4WD & AWD
I take pride in keeping my cars in excellent condition. 9/10 exterior, 9.5/10 interior. The paint shows a few small rock chips on the front because of no clear bra but otherwise is in excellent condition. No rust - never driven in salt or winter ever, owner before me was from Las Vegas. The interior still smells like new and has been treated as such, kept very clean. A few scratches on the center console around the cup holders. Never dyno'd, but should be roughly 550whp on 93, 600whp on e85 (or more?). It's fast, no worries there. The car gets a ton of attention, especially because of the blue wheels (more unique than normal black wheels and really shine in the sun).
The transmission had an issue shortly after purchasing the car. I was in traffic (no fun launch story - believe me, after the bill I wish I had a better story for breaking it) and the car started lurching roughly when trying to move in 1st gear from a stop. It never improved on the rest of the way home, so I started investigating the issue to see how to solve it. Turns out the circlip which holds the FWD pinion gear to the trans came off. This is the common problem that happens to 09-11 trans and was replaced with a better part for 12+ trans, however mine still failed. I sent the car to SpeedForSale up in Alpharetta, GA, which is a performance GTR shop and one of the few shops certified to repair a GTR transmission. They dropped the transmission, opened the case, and replaced everything that had wear with better Dodson parts. In addition, I told them to also replace any known weak points for a bolt on GTR (clutches, clutch baskets, circlips). The transmission is now better than stock, can hold up to launches, and should be solid for a long time, while also holding up to 700wtq (if you wanted to throw some bigger turbos on the car in the future).
I know this car well, feel free to ask any other questions. I have enjoyed every second with it. SpeedForSale or Forged Motorsport, performance GTR shops in Atlanta that know the car can do a PPI or let you know everything about the car from when they have done work on it. I have the receipts from the transmission work. Oil changes every 3k miles. Tires should be good another 5k miles or so.

I actually really like that car and yours in specific. But I think I am going to pass not what I am looking for right now, thanks though.
