Speaking English : The Official Nissan GT-R (R35)



With the official car finally in at the local Nissan distributor's showroom, GT-R (R35) owners can finally enjoy a complete experience with the car's English interface. (previously, owners of PI GT-Rs were stumped by the Japanese interface.)



At just under S$300k, Tan Chong's GT-R offers full service support from the NHPC (Nissan High Performance Centre), English interface and a high OMV.



With modern cars featuring more complex mechanicals and electronics, having the equipment and special tools is only one part of the equation => a certain degree of familiarity and knowledge is necessary as well, as opposed to a 'trial and error' approach.

Newer PI GT-R owners probably currently enjoy adding on go-faster bits (which are inherently simple 'plug-and-play' by nature), but when it comes to troubleshooting, diagnostics, timely spare parts ordering and general support and maintenance work, it could be an entirely different story completely.

But as they say, " different strokes for different folks," so it is entirely understandable that there will be buyers who are willing to pay the slight premium for peace of mind.
