The Nissan GT-R R35 story seemed finished after production ended. A final factory update now gives owners one more reason to look back and mod Godzilla one last time.
A Surprise Finale for the R35 GT-R
Just when the R35 GT-R appeared finished, NISMO delivered a surprise. The brand released two final specification suspension kits for all GT-R models.
These factory backed kits mirror the last setups developed before production ended in August 2025. Every R35 from 2007 through 2022 is supported.
That covers roughly 48,000 cars built worldwide during the model’s long run. Owners can now update their cars without sacrificing originality.
NISMO offers two distinct suspension kits. One targets refinement while the other focuses on performance.
For now, the kits are only sold in Japan through official Nissan and NISMO channels.
Two Suspension Kits With Very Different Personalities
The first option is the GT-R Premium Edition T-spec suspension upgrade kit. It focuses on comfort, stability, and smoother responses.
Updated G sensors and revised damping improve ride quality in Comfort mode. Road holding and steering feel are also enhanced.
The second option is the GT-R NISMO suspension upgrade kit. This version reflects the final GT-R NISMO chassis setup.
It prioritizes traction, sharper steering response, and more linear feedback. This kit is designed with aggressive driving in mind.
Pricing varies by model year and trim. The least expensive kit costs about $1,570.
The most expensive version reaches roughly $11,875. Installation requires certified Nissan or NISMO facilities.
Nissan Joins A Growing OEM Heritage Movement
This move places Nissan alongside other Japanese brands supporting iconic models. Toyota and Honda have taken similar steps.
Honda launched its Heritage Works program to support classic models with factory parts. Toyota revived the AE86 4A-GE with an updated OEM engine.
Nissan’s approach follows the same philosophy. Owners gain modern performance while preserving factory specifications.
The R35 GT-R defined an era with constant improvement. NISMO’s final suspension kits close that chapter properly.
Inside Nissan’s Plans for the Next GT-R
The next GT-R is already taking shape, even as the R35 takes its final bow. Nissan has confirmed the R36 will use a hybrid powertrain, not full electric.
It will remain turbocharged and focus on track capable performance. Development is expected to take several years, with engineers prioritizing authenticity and driving feel.
Design details remain secret, and a possible platform partnership with Honda is still under discussion.
