I think a lot of people are agreeing with you on that. Top Gear just named it supercar of the year.

Well, I'm still facinated by my S15 now and hopefully for the next couple of years....btw, what you pay for R35 was what I paid for S15 in Singapore some 5 years ago.
It would be a difficult choice later when I make a next purchace...either a R36GTR or a luxuary sports saloon as I've just purchased my SUV in 2007.

Here are some hefty parts cost of the R35 GTR:
yes, it's 3.2 million Yen for the GT-R's Engine Assembly alone.
That makes the cost of R35GT-R's VR38DETT 4 times more than of its predecessor, R34GT-R's RB26DETT, which only cost \754,000.
Considering the 7.77 million Yen price tag of the base model of the GT-R , the VR38DETT accounts for 41% of the car price, and when combine with the Transaxle Assembly + Transfer, the proportion jump to 61.5%.

Wow, there are some expensive bits there. I could afford a timing chain. That's about it.....
j/k really. I might be able to buy two of them

The r35 is a impressively 'big' machine.
Glanced passed one black unit as I was waiting at a T junction and it turned in from the main road and passed me...my only impression of it was 'big'.
Had the chance to view and sat in one last month. Big on the exterior, tight fit as a S15 in the r35 driver's seat. Not anymore headroom and one cannot slide a palm between rear of driver's seat and rear seat's edge as in a S15 if you are 6'1''.
Tool box is placed at foot well of front passenger seat. Loads of thick insulation and a pair of really thick doors with a bit of roof edge as part of doors like the Ford GT design.
In the driver's seat, one can fantacise piloting a jet as there are loads of torgle switches and buttons to push compared to a minimalist designed S15 cockpit.
Engine bay is really tight due to V engine with a double firewall design. Just wonder how the hell can a T88 squeeze into the engine bay without sticking it out of the bonnet....oh, bonnet is really heavy and there isn't telescopic dampers to assist ....makes good bisep training as the bonnet lifts similar to S15, only that I've forgotten about weight issue due to a CF bonnet replaced the stock one.
Hopefully I can share with you guys how it feels to drive comes April when my mates get their cars....and if they would allow me to....

i believe this is Ben Linney's GTR they're testing...
it was tested at rockingham circuit the day after he collected it from southampton..... against an RX8, 911 turbo, and an M3 CSL....
the M3 had to literally be ragged to it's very limits to even look remotely respectable against the GTR.... in just 1 lap it managed to pull over a second on all the cars on track!

read the above if you want a good read...
just a little background, blowdog used to own an R34GTR v-specII NUR, which he modified to a spec near to Z-tune status in the power and suspension departments. (He done this when the Z-tune was a simply a concept). He sold that to buy the GT3 you see in the pictures on the above link.... read away...

I heard a rumour the other day that Nissan Japan were threatening to take any importer that exports the GT-R out of Japan to court. Not sure how they would 'police' this. But the CEO/Chariman of Nissan said on GT-R launch day that the this version (R35) of the GT-R would be the very first truly international edition of the Skyline and will be made available to all the major markets in the future. Can't wait to see the UKDM GT-R
JM-Imports have already sourced a GT-R for one of his clients. See HERE
And I saw THIS on youtube the other day, 11 at USS Auction. People are buying them and literally driving them off the forecourts of Nissan dealers and selling them in Auctions still with the plastic wrapping in tact probably making a profit too. Suppose this is what Nissan is trying to stop.

Cheers Nicely.
The import thing is avoided if its for personal use. But Newera have removed them from the website. I suspect if you asked nicely they'd do it for you though. However what with the drop in the ? against the Yen it works out at pretty much the price they expect the UK to be ~?60K.

the GTC one is ben linney's....
he cleared it with 2 top people of nissan Japan to allow him to have his imported...Nissan's Marketing Director and Corporate Vice President, Global Communications Director Simon Sproule. So his is pretty safe.
JM-imports did get a letter through from UK solicitor just 3 days after their japanese purchase....apparently...
The one to be at Japfest is Ben's.... it's certainly doing the rounds ATM.
Basically, nissan are pissed at big export companies.... ESP Japanese based ones, that're getting them, takin' them straight to auction.
