This is a Nissan GT-R Black Edition from the first R35 generation—one of the most recognizable Japanese supercars of the 21st century.

According to the service document, this is an early 2010-model-year R35 equipped with the 3.8-liter VR38DETT engine, all-wheel drive, and a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

At the time of the dealer visit, the car had covered only 6,849 km. It was booked for scheduled maintenance described by the dealer as a “10,000 Kilometers Service.”

Despite the low mileage, the vehicle’s age is now more important than its odometer reading. By 2026, this GT-R is approximately 16 years old. Its maintenance requirements therefore depend not only on distance traveled, but also on the age of its fluids, rubber components, seals, tires, and battery.

Which Nissan GT-R Is This?

In the AUTO.AE catalog, this car belongs to the following generation:

Nissan GT-R I, produced from 2007 to 2011.

Its factory chassis code is R35.

This is the original pre-facelift version of the first generation, not one of the later facelift models.

Detailed information about this generation is available in the Nissan GT-R catalog on AUTO.AE.

Current cars from this generation can be found on the Nissan GT-R I cars-for-sale page on AUTO.AE.

Why Was the R35 So Important?

With the arrival of the R35, Nissan effectively reinvented the GT-R.

Previous generations belonged to the Skyline family, but the R35 became a standalone Nissan GT-R. It received a new platform, a new engine, a dual-clutch transmission, and a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system.

Instead of the RB26DETT inline-six used by previous Skyline GT-Rs, Nissan installed the 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged VR38DETT V6.

The main specifications of an early R35 include:

• 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine;
• VR38DETT factory engine code;
• approximately 480 hp in the early version;
• approximately 588 Nm of torque;
• six-speed dual-clutch transmission;
• all-wheel drive;
• front-engine layout with the transmission mounted near the rear axle;
• 0–100 km/h in approximately 3.4 seconds;
• top speed of more than 300 km/h.

The specifications of the early R35 are also covered in the AUTO.AE overview of the Nissan GT-R R35.

The actual output of this particular car should be verified through its factory specification and a proper diagnostic inspection. Many GT-Rs in Dubai have received engine software, exhaust systems, upgraded turbochargers, or other performance modifications. Their real output may therefore differ considerably from the original factory figure.

What Does Black Edition Mean?

The dealer document identifies the car as:

GT-R Black Edition AT.

Black Edition was a separate factory specification that primarily differed in its interior design and selected equipment.

Depending on the market and model year, Black Edition equipment could include:

• distinctive front sports seats;
• black and red interior upholstery;
• red inserts and stitching;
• unique door-panel trim;
• darker wheel finishes;
• additional decorative details.

The exact specification of this particular car should be checked using its original factory equipment list, as Black Edition features could vary between markets.

Black Edition does not simply refer to the exterior color. The car could be painted in another color and still be a genuine factory Black Edition.

Why Is This Particular Example So Interesting?

The car’s most notable feature is its mileage of only 6,849 km.

That is exceptionally low for a 2010 Nissan GT-R. Most R35s of this age have already covered tens of thousands of kilometers, while many have been used on racetracks, modified, or subjected to repeated Launch Control starts.

Low mileage may significantly improve the car’s collector appeal, but only if several important conditions are met:

• the mileage must be supported by documentation;
• the car should have a transparent service history;
• the engine and transmission must be in good condition;
• the body should not have suffered major accident damage;
• original factory components should ideally be retained;
• any performance modifications should be fully documented;
• the car must have been stored correctly;
• maintenance should have been carried out according to time as well as mileage.

With a GT-R, it is particularly important to examine the information stored in its electronic modules. A proper pre-purchase inspection should compare the mileage recorded across different control units.

It is also important to establish whether Launch Control was used frequently, whether the car participated in track events, and whether the engine or transmission software was modified.

Where Was the Car Serviced?

The estimate was prepared by Arabian Automobiles Company, part of AW Rostamani Group and the official Nissan dealer for Dubai, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates.

Information about the dealer network and its service facilities is available on the official Nissan Dubai website.

The document identifies the service location as the DXB Workshop.

The service request was opened on June 10, 2026, and the preliminary estimate was issued on June 13, 2026.

This document is a preliminary estimate rather than confirmation of final payment. If additional problems are discovered during disassembly or a more detailed inspection, the final cost may increase.

How Much Does Nissan GT-R Maintenance Cost at a Dubai Dealer?

The complete cost shown in the estimate is:

AED 2,292.15 including VAT

The total consists of:

• parts and service materials — AED 669.90;
• additional service item — AED 52.50;
• maintenance and diagnostic labor — AED 1,569.75.

The amount before VAT is AED 2,183.

VAT is AED 109.15.

The official final amount shown in the document is AED 2,292.15.

What Is Included in the 10,000 km Service?

The main service operation is listed as “10,000 Kilometers Service.”

Its cost is:

• AED 1,450 before VAT;
• AED 72.50 VAT;
• AED 1,522.50 including VAT.

The dealer also included a quality inspection and passenger-car diagnostic check.

This additional operation costs:

• AED 45 before VAT;
• AED 2.25 VAT;
• AED 47.25 including VAT.

The combined cost of labor and diagnostics is AED 1,569.75 including VAT.

The labor charge may appear high compared with servicing a regular Nissan, but the GT-R differs significantly from the brand’s mass-market models. It is a high-performance vehicle with a complex transmission, advanced all-wheel drive, and a tightly packaged engine compartment.

Engine Oil

The estimate includes Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 engine oil.

The dealer calculated a total of six liters:

• two one-liter bottles of Mobil 1 FS 0W-40;
• one four-liter bottle of Mobil 1 FS 0W-40.

The two one-liter bottles cost:

• AED 162 before VAT;
• AED 8.10 VAT;
• AED 170.10 including VAT.

The four-liter bottle costs:

• AED 246 before VAT;
• AED 12.30 VAT;
• AED 258.30 including VAT.

The total cost of six liters of oil is AED 428.40 including VAT.

High-quality oil is critical for the VR38DETT engine. Two turbochargers, high operating temperatures, and tightly packaged components create a considerable thermal load.

In Dubai, the oil also operates under particularly demanding conditions:

• summer temperatures can exceed 40°C;
• the car may spend extended periods idling with the air conditioning running;
• the turbochargers remain extremely hot after spirited driving;
• dust and sand contaminate the radiators and air filters;
• short journeys may not allow the oil to reach full operating temperature;
• long periods of storage cause the oil to age regardless of mileage.

Maintenance should therefore not be based only on distance traveled. Even if the GT-R is rarely driven, its oil still needs to be replaced according to time.

Oil Filter

The estimate includes an original oil filter described in the document as suitable for the VQ38DD engine. However, the GT-R’s actual factory engine code is VR38DETT.

The filter costs:

• AED 59 before VAT;
• AED 2.95 VAT;
• AED 61.95 including VAT.

A new drain-plug sealing washer is also included.

Its cost is:

• AED 7 before VAT;
• AED 0.35 VAT;
• AED 7.35 including VAT.

Replacing the sealing washer helps prevent oil leakage from the drain plug.

Engine Air Filters

The Nissan GT-R uses two engine air-filter elements, one for each side of the intake system.

The estimate includes two filters priced at AED 82 each.

Their combined cost is:

• AED 164 before VAT;
• AED 8.20 VAT;
• AED 172.20 including VAT.

Engine air filters are especially important in Dubai. Dust and fine sand quickly accumulate inside the air-filter housings and may restrict airflow.

On a turbocharged engine, contaminated filters can cause:

• reduced airflow;
• additional strain on the turbochargers;
• reduced engine performance;
• changes to fuel-trim readings;
• fine particles entering the intake system;
• accelerated contamination of the mass-airflow sensors.

Even at low mileage, the filters should be inspected according to their actual condition, especially if the car was stored for a long time or driven during sandstorms.

Additional Service Item

The document separately lists a “Generic” item priced at:

• AED 50 before VAT;
• AED 2.50 VAT;
• AED 52.50 including VAT.

The document does not explain the exact purpose of this charge. It may relate to a minor consumable, environmental fee, or additional internal service operation.

Its precise purpose cannot be determined without clarification from the dealer.

Complete Parts and Materials Breakdown

The service includes:

• two one-liter bottles of Mobil 1 FS 0W-40;
• one four-liter bottle of Mobil 1 FS 0W-40;
• six liters of engine oil in total;
• one drain-plug sealing washer;
• one oil filter;
• two engine air-filter elements;
• one additional “Generic” service item.

The total cost of parts and materials, including the additional service item and VAT, is AED 722.40.

What Is Not Included?

The document covers a relatively basic 10,000 km service.

It does not include:

• transmission-fluid replacement;
• front or rear differential service;
• brake-fluid replacement;
• coolant replacement;
• spark-plug replacement;
• air-conditioning service;
• battery replacement;
• tire replacement;
• wheel alignment;
• brake-system repair;
• radiator cleaning;
• suspension repairs;
• oil-leak repairs;
• turbocharger repairs or servicing.

At 6,849 km, many of these operations may not be required based on mileage. However, a 2010 vehicle must also be assessed according to age.

If there is no documentary evidence showing when the fluids were last replaced, the oil in the transmission and differentials, the brake fluid, and the coolant should all be inspected separately.

What Requires Special Attention in Dubai?

GR6 Transmission

The six-speed GR6 dual-clutch transmission is one of the most important and expensive components in the GT-R.

The inspection should pay attention to:

• hesitation or jerking when moving away;
• abnormal mechanical noise;
• delayed gear changes;
• overheating;
• warning messages;
• transmission-fluid condition;
• clutch adaptations;
• Launch Control history;
• modified transmission software.

In hot weather, the gearbox experiences additional thermal stress. This becomes particularly important during aggressive driving, repeated hard launches, and track sessions.

The engine and transmission must be fully warmed before intensive acceleration.

All-Wheel-Drive System

The GT-R uses the sophisticated ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system. Its transmission is mounted at the rear, while torque is distributed between the axles through a dedicated driveline and electronically controlled system.

The inspection should include:

• differential-fluid condition;
• abnormal noise or vibration;
• driveshaft condition;
• correct operation of the all-wheel-drive system;
• faults stored in electronic control units;
• matching tire sizes and similar tread depth on all four wheels.

Compatible tires with similar rolling circumferences are essential on a GT-R. A significant difference between the wheels can place additional strain on the driveline.

Cooling System

The VR38DETT engine and the GR6 transmission generate substantial heat.

In Dubai, the following should be inspected regularly:

• coolant condition;
• main radiator;
• auxiliary heat exchangers;
• intercoolers;
• electric cooling fans;
• hoses and clamps;
• expansion tank;
• evidence of leaks;
• radiators blocked by dust or sand.

Cleaning must be performed carefully to avoid damaging the delicate radiator fins.

Turbochargers

The engine should not be switched off immediately after intensive driving. It is better to finish the journey at a relaxed pace, allowing oil and turbocharger temperatures to decrease.

The inspection should also check for:

• smoke from the exhaust;
• abnormal turbocharger noise;
• loss of power;
• oil leaks;
• damaged boost hoses;
• actual boost pressure;
• modified engine software.

Brake System

The GT-R uses a powerful Brembo braking system, but replacement discs and pads can be expensive.

Low mileage does not guarantee perfect brake condition. If the car was stored for a long time, the inspection should include:

• corrosion on the brake-disc surfaces;
• brake-pad condition;
• brake-fluid age;
• brake-hose condition;
• caliper operation;
• vibration during braking.

Brake fluid, discs, and pads are not included in the current estimate.

Tires

The tires on a car with less than 7,000 km may look almost new. However, old tires can be dangerous on a high-performance vehicle even if they still have plenty of tread.

In Dubai, rubber is affected by:

• extreme heat;
• ultraviolet exposure;
• long periods of storage;
• temperature changes between a climate-controlled garage and the street;
• deformation from remaining stationary in one position.

Inspection should include not only tread depth, but also the manufacturing date, sidewall condition, microcracks, and rubber flexibility.

Battery

The GT-R contains numerous electronic control modules, so its battery gradually discharges while the vehicle is parked.

A rarely driven car should ideally be connected to an intelligent battery maintainer.

After replacing the battery, the charging voltage and electronic systems should be checked for faults.

Air-Conditioning System

A properly functioning air conditioner is essential in Dubai.

The inspection should include:

• vent outlet temperature;
• refrigerant pressure;
• compressor operation;
• condenser condition;
• cabin-filter condition;
• cooling-fan operation;
• unpleasant odors;
• refrigerant leaks.

Air-conditioning service is not included in the current estimate.

How Much Does a Similar Nissan GT-R Cost on AUTO.AE?

At the time this article was prepared, AUTO.AE had a first-generation 2010 Nissan GT-R listed for sale.

The advertisement states:

• model year — 2010;
• mileage — 52,000 km;
• engine — 3.8 liters;
• advertised output — 530 hp;
• dual-clutch transmission;
• all-wheel drive;
• grey exterior;
• location — Dubai;
• asking price — AED 325,000.

The car can be viewed through the direct AUTO.AE listing for the 2010 Nissan GT-R.

All currently available examples of the first generation can be found on the Nissan GT-R I cars-for-sale page on AUTO.AE.

Other GT-Rs from different model years and facelift generations are available in the main Nissan GT-R sales section.

Listings may be updated or removed after a vehicle is sold. For a permanent model reference, it is better to use the Nissan GT-R catalog on AUTO.AE.

A car with 52,000 km cannot be compared directly with this Black Edition showing only 6,849 km. The value of the lower-mileage example will depend on its originality, service history, body condition, absence of major modifications, and verification of its mileage.

Final Verdict

The scheduled dealer maintenance for this Nissan GT-R Black Edition R35 with 6,849 km is estimated at:

AED 2,292.15 including VAT

The price includes:

• 10,000 km scheduled maintenance;
• quality inspection and diagnostics;
• six liters of Mobil 1 FS 0W-40;
• oil filter;
• new drain-plug sealing washer;
• two engine air filters;
• additional service item.

For dealer maintenance of a Nissan GT-R, the total is relatively moderate because this is a basic service without complex repairs or maintenance of the transmission, differentials, brakes, or cooling system.

However, a 2010 car with only 6,849 km should not be assessed through an oil change alone. It is much more important to verify its storage history and inspect the age of every major fluid, the tires, battery, cooling system, and GR6 transmission.

This GT-R Black Edition could be a highly attractive collector-quality example. Its real value, however, depends not only on its remarkably low mileage but also on how carefully it was stored and maintained throughout its life.
