And that was Nissan's purpose, to make the GT-R absolutely crushingly fast through the use of technology. And in more than one magazine review of the car, the reviewer cited the transmission as being the most astounding and impressive part of the entire car, more so than the engine, chassis, or even terrific ATTESA system. Like it or not, that gearbox is an integral part of the car's performance.

There was a segment on Best motoring where Tsuchiya test drove the R35 GTR on Tsukuba. His first remarks were how impressive the car shifts.
