Yeah, but this car has TWO of them. Not that I wouldn't swap them out for GT28's first chance I got, or even a single 42R, but still. For a stock car that's alot of power.
Of course, you'd need to get some custom exhaust manifolds fabbed, since the stock turbos are integrated into the stock exhaust manifolds. Still, I really, really want. Someone want to hire me and pay me some exorbitant money?
Apparently, Polyphony Digital has been quite busy outside of making Gran Turismo. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=9396 A little Top Gear in your GT5, anyone?
ya know.... there has been a long history of being able to put nissan parts in subies. I wonder if you can put that MFD thing into suby. I am curious what the back of it looks like, if you plug the sensors into the actual unit or if there is a seperate computer. I wonder how much it will cost at the local nissan dealership.... probably not cheap. but probably cheaper that 10 guages, or a HKS camp.
"Prices in Japan for the Nissan GT-R will start from around 7.8 million yen"...don't know the conversion...someone else can do it. Ok, roughly $70K
yeah, the $70k is starting price...but to be honest I haven't seen too much on pricing since last year.
So usually, cars are designed to compete with similar cars...what is the competition for this car? I love all the features, like the looks of the older ones better though...isn't that always the way? Comes with a carbon fiber driveshaft from the factory? Whats left for the tuning crowd to do? Oh, I know, paint the wheels:laugh:
I think it could use more power at that price point. I know most buyers will mod them off the dealership floor, but still...
they wont be modding them off the floor...time for developing an aftermarket support... and i bet you can hack the ECU for more power
Chris we should screw around with garretts first one before he gets the good one... kind of like a Test model lol
The new Autoweek came out today with a test drive from Germany. They didn't instrument it but Nissan claims 0-60 and the quarter mile in 3.5 and 11.7 seconds. I expect the real test times to be even better, unless Nissan is going to shoot itself in the foot by being overly optimistic...
R31 skyline I believe..... I had the wagon version rear will drive non turbo... those RB series engines rock
