Your brother got very lucky. CHP has stepped up their game when it comes to mods.. Some know exactly how many CATS a car has, know about intakes, blow-off valves, turbos, boost controllers etc...This is a rumor, but they have a booklet of popular engine swaps and carry it around as reference. I have never seen this booklet, but I have noticed most CHP know their stuff. Same goes for LAPD. You can get your hood popped for anything, just depends how much of a prick the cop is. Some even go the extra length and use a mirror to look under for the catalytic converters. Taking them off is a FEDERAL OFFENSE...

trust me, I've played dumb too. the classic "it came with the car" or "thats stock" line always works..

Dunno if you heard about the Porter Ranch raids ...Cops were popping hoods left and right, but these guys knew EXACTLY what to look for.

Porter Ranch raids?

Hell, I'd take a Z-Tune R34 is it wasn't for the hassle of owning one in North America.

[h3]GT-R SpecV: It's Finally Here! Official Press Launch Photos and Details[/h3]


The official media launch of the latest evolution of the Nissan GT-R, The R35 GT-R SpecV was held today at Nissan headquarters in Ginza, Tokyo Japan.

The SpecV had finally arrived for Japanese media to get a look at and photograph. GTRBlog was in town for the launch and now our readers can get their first look at the Spec-V in final production trim. There were three Ultimate Opal Black SpecV GT-Rs and one Brilliant White SpecV GT-R at the launch.

The Nissan GT-R SpecV contains quite a number of improvements over the base model GT-R. Most of which we covered in previous posts on the subject but today Nissan GT-R Chief Engineer, Kazutoshi Mizuno cleared up the details in a detailed talk on the new car.



Carbon Ceramic Brakes

The SpecV is the first Nissan production car to be offered with carbon ceramic brakes. The Brembo 6 piston aluminium calipers are delineated from the standard GT-R by their aluminium colouring and "Brembo Carbon Ceramic" markings. The calipers are physically the same as their standard GT-R cousins but they are fitted with special SpecV brake pads.

The carbon ceramic rotors themselves save significant amounts of unsprung weight while they are also increased in size to 390mm. Both rotors were on hand to pickup and compare. The carbon rotors feeling featherweight compared to the standard items.



Overboost Button

The SpecV features a steering wheel mounted overboost button which shares a switch with the cruise control function. An electronic circuit designed to provide more than standard boost for a short period of time to increase power for overtaking maneuvers for example. When used, the dashboard overboost green light illuminates and the SpecV's midrange torque is increased for the next 80 seconds.



Ultimate Opal Black Color

A second new color is added to the Nissan GT-R lineup this year (after the new Brilliant White was added on the MY09 GT-R series II) called Ultimate Black Pearl. This color is very similar to the Midnight Purple colours on previous GT-R generations. Under some lights it can appear as anything from purple to bronze.



Engine Bay

The engine bay features a new engine cover specific to the SpecV.



Rear Spoiler
The rear spoiler is changed from the standard GT-R. It is slightly higher and is designed to increase rear downforce for sports driving. The wing element section is made from dry carbon fibre with a matte clear coat to protect it from the elements.

One of these new SpecV GT-Rs will set you back 15,750,000 yen including Japanese consumption tax Nissan say. The online SpecV configurator now available however says you can pay up to 17,835,450 yen for the optioned out model including tax.

Nissan will be publicly displaying the Spec-V at four Nissan Gallery locations from tomorrow (9th of January) for three weeks. These locations are:

• Nissan HQ Gallery, Nissan HQ building Ginza
• Nissan Gallery, Ginza
• Nissan Gallery, Nagoya
• Nissan Gallery, Fukuoka

let's see... blanket statement all the way. if you're excluding m3's and gt 500's, cars in that price range... there is no stock car beating my evo x with $4k in mods. try again.

to the person who asked, a jdm car is a car sold on the japanese domestic market. some people in this thread are posting civic Si's, a prime example of a car that's not JDM (i owned one).

Actually, if tuned right, even a GT-R or EVO X with $4,000 worth of performance mods can beat an M3.

Apparently you don't know what you're talking about... an M3 with $4,000 worth of mods is barely keeping up with the 2009 GT-R.
I know because I've owned a 2004 M3, they are fast... but not that fast. M5's are faster than M3's and they are a lot heavier.

A buddy of mines owns the new GT-R and they are quick.

they aint Takumi tho

(or drift king)

gotta know how to use it

QFT

if u read bout the car and the crazy things its been able to pull off u would be singin a differant tune.
its been able to smoke skylines, rx-7s, corvettes, porsches, the list goes on, its one of the most balanced cars ever produced.

Apparently, you don't know what you're talking about. I said the $4,000 worth of parts were going into the GT-R or EVO X, not the M3. And who saidanything about 09 GT-R? I was mainly referring to the R32-34. Of course I know the 09 one can beat an M3.

And I would still choose an R32,3,4 over an e92 M3 any day of the week.

No it isn't dude. It's a mid-80's economy car. Nothing that uses alive rear axle will ever be considered "one of the most balanced cars ever produced." They don't even have adjustable rear camber and toe.

Really, I'm not trying to be a douche, but learn and research from legitimate sources with an open mind. Initial D is not gospel; you're beingbrainwashed by a cartoon.

the irony. he's not referring to the new r35 gt-r, talking about the older gt-r's.

that spec-v is growing on me, santi. i sat in the base model the last time i was in japan, they had one in the nissan ginza gallery. for some odd reason, thesteering wheel had a huge scratch on it

 

[dugtrio]

ae-86 is popular because of initial D. it WAS a cheap rwd car which is why people use it. nothing about it is a sports car in stock form. what is this aboutit beating vettes?

apples to oranges man. i don't get why anyone would want anae-86 unless they were at the track all the time. i'm straight on driving one of those buckets around daily.

 

[finnns2003]

don't let this post die already!

I'm still looking for a '97 Honda Civic just to mess around with.
