I'm not a fan of the GTR, however, I will throw my name into the hat of "I'd like to see a manual R35". I understand the GTR nameplate since the R32 was always about pushing technology, but there's something of a void when cars like this don't have a proper manual.
Eli Russell
Manual, rwd, roller windows, and a tape deck.
Jaxson Reed
Roll windows and non-power seats are something I would like to see in cars more often. All the added weight for something so benign.
Jack Thomas
You can't shift that fast
Lucas Kelly
It's going to be objectively slower than DCT, but yes, I would like to see one be made too.
Caleb Diaz
Yeah yeah blah blah just cuff me old man.
Camden Sanchez
put this in your head.
Nissan will never ever ever ever ever ever manufacture a manual R35 GT-R.
That being if you have enough money you can buy an R35 GT-R and and have some aftermarket company swap or custom build a transmission specifically for your R35 GT-R.
stop playing this whole "huurrr am I the only one that wants this" Yes youre a special snowflake.

>You're a special snowlflake.
Actually lots of people want a manual R35 so its not just me
Jacob Gutierrez
yes, but you're in good company
Carter Hughes
its an option that should of been there, but at least we can mod one in
Owen Wood
>can’t shift that fast
Yeah I agree on the track. But most of these are driven in the streets at like maybe 40% capability when “spirited driving”. In that instance it’s not even a factor to go to a manual if it increases the driver’s fun. However Nissan would have had to have engineer a transmission just for this option and yeah it would have been costly. But the durrr can’t shift that fast talking point is so meh to me.
Alexander Wood
Electronics for those pieces barely add any weight these days
Justin Robinson
Probably not, always some people with shit enough taste that want things to be worse.
Ayden Baker
But manual is more fun and rewarding
Daniel White
Fun is meaningless, both of your reasons are subjective. Manual is nothing more than outdated waste of time and money.
Adrian Jenkins
I respect your opinion.
Logan Torres
I'd say I respect your but I really don't, manual doesn't have a place in a car made for performance.
Henry King
Unless its a fun sports coupe like a GT86 or a Miata?
Ryder Johnson
Sure, sport compacts and shit are fine with it. Your six digit numbers chaser really needs that DCT.
Ayden Turner
Yes, because this is a race car, not a sports car, doofus
Jason Cook
Reminder that not a single good thing came from seperting the GTR from the Skyline family.
For both of them.
David Parker
This. It doesn’t make sense to want a manual when the car is all about maximizing performance around a track.
Christian Reed
doesn't matter what you think when you can't afford a GT-R to begin with.
And if you did Nissan still wouldn't listen to you. because you are a nobody who doesn't know anything.
Luke Reed
>It doesn’t make sense to want a manual when the car is all about maximizing performance around a track
if it were about performance it would be a sequential box
Dominic Phillips
>maximizing performance
>most will probably never even see a parking lot of a race track
Again "muh performance" is a shit argument. Usually made by fanboys and people who don't even drive a car. Ever heard the story of Porsche and their return to manual? Enthusiasts and driving is much like a steak or how one enjoys their alcohol. It's all taste and personality and we're all different. And that's what makes the car community really fun. What can make it fun anyway. Then faggots like you with your paper stats and theoretical situations comes along and just doesn't get it at all.

Isn’t the DCT needed for the launch control that the R35 uses? That’s the whole point of this car. Yes it’s not a skyline anymore.
Asher Garcia
yeah, ignore OP. He is either underage or just a giant retard.
Dude thinks he's smarter than all the engineers that worked on the GT-R

an overweight whale of a car struggling to beat a cheap corvette for half the price

Luis Baker
Yes. It's a computer on wheels and has piss poor driving dynamics
Oliver Bailey
>gtr regularly spanks everyones asses when its released
>hurr durr lets seperate the regular car aspect for pure bread race car to compete
cope
Eli Evans
Yes. The thing already gets its ass kicked by cars that cost 1/2 as much. Why would you want it even slower?
Lincoln Green
Lol user there are well off people on this board, dont assume that no one here can afford a gtr. Stop with the projecting
Sebastian Thomas
thats not a fucking gtr, thats an s or z chassis
Asher Wood
They don't make a manual r35 because there clearly isn't enough demand for it.
Jackson Richardson
>bro stop projecting
you can't. and the point being is that even if you could, you wouldn't be able to do shit about changing it to a manual transmission car you dumb fuck.
Gavin Jenkins
That's nothing a LS and T56 won't fix.
Joshua Hall
No it doesn't you fucking faggot and it's just been proved by the new Porsche GT3 in manual. It came back because the 911R sold so well and raised astronomically in resale value.
Luke Cooper
Cool, niche cars made for profit and not track number chasers.
Logan Sanders

If they made a manual, I probably would've bought one by now.
Chase Rogers
I've met two people who own R35's, neither of them were car enthusiasts. They don't care whether the car is manual or automatic. R35 is a status symbol to most people.
Evan Roberts
this.
Xavier Ward
I've never been a Porsche fan but with the new Manual GT3 RS making over 500hp N/A from a flat 6 they really are the best "enthusiast" brand these days.
The GTR is old and more of a fast GT car than anything else.
William Ross
I’m not a bench racer, I don’t even drive a fast car. My point is that a manual goes against the philosophy of the car. Nissan wanted a technologically advanced car that would shit on all the other supercars and they accomplished that at the time when the GTR came out. They weren’t going for fun driving dynamics or feelings, they just wanted it to be as quick around a track as quick as possible. I don’t get why people don’t understand this.
The car wasn’t designed for enthusiasts pursuing fun. It was designed for enthusiasts pursuing speed. They’re two very different philosophies.
The Porsche comparison is a complete non-sequitur. I applaud manual gearboxes in high performance cars when it makes sense, this just isn’t one of those instances. Nissan made a cutting edge track weapon with almost unheard of amounts of complicated computing technology for the time to maximize the speed - then they should take out all their complicated work on the transmission and replace it with a manual that depends entirely on driving skill? That’s a silly argument.
Jaxson Wood
Carson Reed
eeeeh nah they are relatively heavy in a lightweight car that you wish to be as light as possible for performance
plus, the power windows are a nightmare, I never manage to get them where I want to
Henry Powell
If you really believe that, then you missed the entire point of the car.

>but there's something of a void when cars like this don't have a proper manual.
I couldn't agree more. The fact that option isn't even there is what's disappointing. Even the GT2 RS, which was arguably built for a similar purpose to the R35, came with a stick shift.
