first impressions were that it was a pretty big car. interior was very nice and built quality was good. I liked all the buttons, and gizmos you can play with….good for when you’re stuck in traffic jams…lol.

This might be one of the fastest cars in Australia, that doesn’t mean it is one of the fastest in the world. You only have to look at the new Caterham with a 2.4 V8 Supercharged – 0 – 100kph in 2.4 seconds and over 370kW. Perhaps fastest in the Southern Hemisphere.

0 – you are incorrect.

The GTR runs a GPS based limiter – when id detects that you are inside a race track it removes the limiter. Afterwards you need to go and get it serviced.

The issue with this is that the Jap spec GTR only has Japanese maps loaded – so it will never think its on a race track on Aus – hence why they need the ROM to remove the limiter.

Sorry but it won’t win… the guy ain’t a professional racer, he is a gentleman racer and nothing more. Targa Tas is more driver then car. I remember a couple of years ago Brocky in a lightly modified monaro, a car that should NOT be able to compete with porsches and GTR’s and EVO’s etc on targa roads, managed to be second to only JR in his AWD porsche on one of the longest WET stages. Why? Certainly not cos of the car he was driving, it was all down to the driver.

As awesome as this car is/looks, it won’t win, not even close

well nissan in japan does you go to a dealer and they unlock it then after the track you musst go back and pay 1800$ for a compulsory safety check and event hen it can only be driven unrestricted on racetraks monitered by GPS

it seems stoopid that they have to rely on aftermarket ecu’s etc to crack the speed limiter etc… why cant nissan just make it easy for people to do the inevitable to the GTR’s???? ie. work them off their tits

on paper this would have to be the winner.
i am surprised that they couldnt find any smaller sponsors to fill the paintwork though.

perhaps the only one to stop JR????

JR in this would be unbeatable.

would be inteesting to hear what weight they culled
