Re: New Skyline GTR Pics
Why does it have stock wheels?
Oh yeah. You can't drive them if you swap the wheels out. :rolleyes: But hey! It's fast! :thup: |

Re: New Skyline GTR Pics
Wheel sensors go wonky and prevent the car from driving. Nobody's figured out how to hack it yet. The show cars with aftermarket wheels have to be driven in and out with stock wheels. They never roll on aftermarket wheels.
In addition to that little jewel there's this: They don't unlock all the electronic limiters unless the GPS says you're on a Nissan-approved rack. And even then if you don't report to the dealer immediately after your track session for a $1000 "checkup" your warranty is voided. People wanted a computer to drive them around the track and boy did they get it. :D |

Re: New Skyline GTR Pics
We've previously reported on how the GPS system fitted to the GT-R would remove the 111 mph (180 kph) speed limiter when the car arrives at a track, but according to Niikura, it will only work on pre-approved racetracks. However, the GPS sensor doesn't automatically remove the limiter by itself, it has to be manually changed by navigating through a series of menus on the GT-R's touch screen. While having to go to a Nissan-approved track is daft in its own right, it's even worse when you leave. After the track day, owners are required to head on over to a Nissan High Performance Center where a $1000 safety check is performed. Don't do it and the factory warranty is void. Another rumor that began circulating after the Tokyo Auto Salon has also been confirmed: aftermarket wheels are out. Supposedly, all the GT-Rs on display at TAS had to be driven in on the stock rollers, jacked up and then fitted with the tuner's chosen wheels. Due to a sensor mounted on the valve stem, if the GT-R is driven with aftermarket rims, an error code is thrown on the dash. And although MINE'S has fitted a custom exhaust to their shop car, they've found that any modification to the intake system causes the ECU to go haywire. While all these findings are disturbing draconian, GT-R owners here in the U.S. won't have to worry about the speed limiter/track day issue. Nissan has said that the GPS system won't be implemented here in the States, but the future of tuning the GT-R remains questionable. |
