Nissan GT-R

The Nissan GT-R seen by the objective of Jim Marshall

The Nissan GT-R is the rock star of the moment, so nobody better than the legendary Jim Marshall to capture the gestation of the Nissan GT-R during the past year. You are images distributed by Nissan differ greatly from the photos taken by the officers or magazines, in the sense that the Nissan GT-R is the protagonist of the same, and not the product that we want to sell the manufacturer.

Marshall, known for having photographed the largest in the history of rock, is introduced behind the scenes to capture two engineers Nissan smoked a pitillo, hung a map of Nurburgring at the checkpoint, or Carlos Ghosn's own dress pilot and two towers of tires. Whether you appreciate this sort of thing as if you are the full color photos, we are confident that the album deserves five minutes of your attention; enjoy.

Begin to appear the first changes to the Nissan GT-R

Despite initial difficulties, tunners the Japanese are already arranging to modify the Nissan GT-R. It reported earlier that the Japanese brand "advised" not to put tires alternatives or seek to modify the limiter which imposes a maximum speed of 180 mph when circulating in the streets, but that advice has found deaf ears.

HKS has begun selling a device name VAC, which once connected to the electronic control unit removes the artificial limit maximum speed that affects the sport. But its price is 120,000 yen (766 euros/1.200 dollars), but if you already have a Nissan GT-R that is probably a minor problem in view of the award.
For its part BBS is producing a limited number of tires LM-DBK-P 20x9.5 inches for the front and 20x10.5 in the back. The price of the package is about 500,000 yen (3,197 euros/5.000 dollars) and are only available in Japan. We do not know yet what did BBS not to interfere with speed sensors that Nissan placed on the wheels, but somehow they managed.

Finally, RCM decided that the cams of sequential changes should not be fixed when turning the steering wheel, so I think some carbon fibre which do. What is unclear is whether we can continue to use the steering wheel factory, which includes several functions within the reach of your fingers. Hopefully, yes.

Spy photos: Nissan GT-R ... Is V-spec?

Several photos of a Nissan GT-R changed to the tracks have appeared on the network of networks and could well be a preview of the rebirth of V-Spec. The racing version of the Nissan GT-R has a roll cage, a new defense front to mitigate the temperature of the engine, suspension and tires reduced Volk TE-37 with racing tires.

According to the rumours say, the V-Spec could reach the market in 2009, but obviously at this point still unaware of their technical specifications.

Another Nissan GT-R is broken nose

This is not the first Nissan GT-R ending his life as accordion, and we saw one in Hong Kong in early January and then another-albeit with minor damage - a few days later in Shibuya, Tokyo. Now a reader of Autoblog warning us that another Nissan GT-R crashed in Malaysia.

If something can be drawn in clean of all these clashes is that the carrier at least maintains its integrity despite the impacts, which speaks well for the safety of the vehicle. Anyway we must remember that at high speeds, even the Nissan GT-R can protect you.

Now it : First photo of Nissan GT-R

We remain after day on October 16, but Motor Trend has suffered a nasty (for them) filtration of the home from December that allows us to see finally, once and for all and without camouflage worth, to esperadísimo Nissan GT-R. According to the magazine, the new Nissan Supercar can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in approximately 3.5 seconds, running the quarter mile in 11.7 seconds and caressing the 309 km / h on a price in the U.S. less than $ 80,000; pointing directly to the head of a Corvette that it is seeing everything black. That with regard to benefits. From the little we can say that style does not already know, unless you want, we like even more than the Proto, who has now lost the makeup to the Alice Cooper who had the conceptual model.
