The GTR at Z1 looked alright. I think I overheard it having close to 500hp. I like how when you adjust the steering wheel the whole MPH guage dash goes up. Sorry can't think of the proper name right now. Stock 20in wheels. The front was nice. Alot of trunk space. The motor didn't look anything like the RB motors. :blah:

I went and saw the new GT R. Very nice. The reason it doesn't look like an RB motor its because its not. Its the new VR38

It's called telescoping I believe. Most of the newer sport nissan/infiniti's have that.

In most cars you can only adjust the steering wheel. In my G35 when you adjust the steering wheel it moves the gauge cluster, etc as well.

Awesome. I had know Idea that existed on the G35. I need to up my new car game. Isn't the G35 suppose to be classified as the skyline also? And VR38. That has a nice ring to it. I forsee motor swaps in the future for people. And I mean it didn't resemble the RB26.

The ECU thing is a rumor. Some of the ECU flaws are..

-You can't change the wheels becuase there are sensors in the wheels that can tell if you change them.

-It is speed limited to 119 (around that area) then if you go to a Nissan approved track it will take the limiter off. Also if you go to a Nissan approved track you must go to a dealership and get them to perform a $1000 check up to keep the warranty. If it is not a Nissan approved track it will void the warranty all together via the GPS.

Again these are just rumors.

One more thing Nissan gave the new GT R to Top Secret, HKS, MCR and others for modding and racing. So we'll see how they turn out and how bad ass they are :D

Wait..Wait..You can't change the wheels? Z1 told me someone put it on a dyno (Not sure who) with the 20in wheels and it did around 430ish horse power..Then he said the wheels were replaced with 18in wheels and pushed out 483hp. So then what's up with that?

And I can't wait either to see what these big companies will do with this GTR.

So we'll see how they turn out and how bad ass they are :D thats for the JDM model. the USDM GT-Rs will not have the gps tracker for track days. and the speed limiter is not 119 lol what is this a honda. no its 155 like all nissans... get your facts straight. and yes their is a whole bunch of ecu firewalls. you read all that from a review of a GT-R in japan. if you read up to date things you would know.
