Nissan GT-R (R35) Servicing, Diagnostics & Repair in Hertfordshire

We service every R35 GT-R:

Popular Nissan GT-R services

• Scheduled & optimisation servicing – VR38DETT oil & filter changes on the correct fully synthetic specification, brake fluid and a full inspection to Nissan GT-R schedules.
• GR6 dual-clutch transmission service – strict transmission and differential fluid changes to protect the wet clutches, solenoids and shift mechanism.
• Brakes & suspension – large Brembo discs, pads and fluid, plus dampers, arms and bushes for road or track use.
• Auto electrical diagnostics – dealer-level fault-finding, misfire and sensor diagnosis, service resets and module work.
• 4-wheel alignment & corner-weighting – GT-R geometry set up correctly for tyre life, stability and balance.
• Rolling road – precise BHP and torque measurement and health-checking on our in-house Dastek dyno.
• Cooling system service – engine, transmission and differential cooling checked and serviced to keep temperatures in range.
• Pre-purchase inspection & MOT prep – a detailed health report before you buy, sell or test.

Nissan GT-R (R35) and the work we know inside out

The R35 carries the GT-R name first made famous by the classic Skyline, but it is a very different machine that rewards proper, knowledgeable care. Here is some of what we see day to day on the R35, and how we keep these cars healthy and strong.

VR38DETT engine & cooling

The hand-built twin-turbo VR38DETT V6 is a strong and reliable engine when it is looked after on the right schedule. The things we watch are ignition coil packs and misfires, oil leaks from the spark-plug-tube seals in the cam covers that can spoil a coil, and, on higher-mileage or hard-driven cars, big-end bearing wear. We keep these engines healthy with frequent correct-specification oil and filter services, coil pack and spark plug replacement, cam-cover seal repairs, and a thorough cooling-system service so the engine and its oil coolers keep temperatures under control on road and track.

GR6 dual-clutch transmission

The rear-mounted GR6 twin-clutch transaxle is the heart of the GT-R driving experience and the part that most rewards strict maintenance. We see bellhousing and clutch wear, valve-body and shift-piston wear on earlier cars (where Nissan issued a service fix), line-pressure sensor faults that can drop the car into limp mode, and mechatronic and solenoid issues caused by tired, dirty fluid. The single best thing you can do is keep to a sensible transmission and differential fluid-change interval, well inside Nissan’s figures if the car is driven hard, which is exactly how we service them. We also fit and service uprated cooling where a car sees track use.

Forced induction & engine builds (mechanical)

Forced induction is central to GT-R ownership, and we approach it as mechanical and hardware work. We carry out turbocharger inspection and replacement, intake, intercooler and boost-pipe work, fuelling hardware, clutch and transmission strengthening, and full mechanical engine builds with uprated internals for owners who want a stronger, more durable bottom end. Every build is set up on our rolling road so we can verify BHP, torque and health, with all power coming from properly engineered mechanical components rather than software.

Brakes, driveline & geometry

The GT-R’s large Brembo brakes work hard, and on track or in spirited road use the discs can distort or develop micro-cracks and the pads wear quickly, so we supply and fit discs, pads and fresh fluid and keep the system in top condition. On the driveline we service the front transfer case and the front and rear differentials with the correct oils, and we set up four-wheel alignment and corner-weighting so your GT-R puts its power down cleanly, looks after its tyres and stays balanced and stable.
