    Think the Nissan GTR is Awesome? You're wrong

    Japanese GT-Rs are speed-limited for the street: As has been widely reported, unless it's driven on a preapproved racetrack, a stock Japanese-spec GT-R is limited to 180 kph (111.8 mph) with the factory settings. GPS sensors in the navigation system track vehicle position and communicate with the ECU. Try to exceed 180 kph, and a warning light will appear on the instrument panel. Only shutting the car off and restarting it will get the light to disappear.

    But can be run all-out at the track: Running a GT-R at the track requires scrolling through menus in the on-board computer and selecting the racetrack option that bypasses the speed limiter. Only then can the car be run to its full potential.

    Though it'll cost you: Once the track day is over, owners who have run their GT-Rs over the speed limit are required to take them to a preapproved Nissan High Performance Center for a safety check. Failure to perform this $1000 service will void the factory warranty.

    As for the wheel and tire rumor: That the factory wheels cannot be removed without sending an error code to the ECU, MINE'S has proven this myth wrong. It's been able to take off wheels, rotate them, and even change to higher-performance, non-run-flat tires. It did have to take the wheels to the Nissan dealership to get the job done at great expense; MINE'S ended up paying about $230 per wheel in labor.

    Putting aftermarket rims on a GT-R is a different story: Because of a sensor located near the valve stem in each wheel, it isn't possible for the car to run on aftermarket rims without throwing an error code. All blinged-out GT-Rs at Auto Salon got there on stockers and only then were the shoes changed.

    Some mild mods are possible: MINE'S has modified the exhaust system and a replacement air-filter element, both of which have reportedly made substantial extra power. It's also upgraded the brake rotors and switched to GT-R's suspension system to a coil-over system with no ECU problems.

    But not all: MINE'S has tried replacing the factory air box and intake system with a high-flow cone-style system, but found its car will not run right. Raising the boost pressure on the twin turbos, a common way to increase power, also triggered errors in the extremely sensitive ECU.

    This is For all the GTR Nut swingers around the world,They can now suck me off as I laugh in there face when they thought this car was some chariot of god himself and could do no wrong

    The hp figured COULD be underrate like a SRT-4 Neon.. Also theres no "Official" lap really on the ring so... thats a non issue.

    a stock Japanese-spec GT-R is limited to 180 kph (111.8 mph) with the factory settings.
    LOL LOL I WONDER WHY???

    Police cars here are only factory tuned. If you can do better than 180K they can't catch you, so they don't even try.

    "2MPH so everyone can see you"
    That applies to me. Just that I don't do it on purpose.

    There are major said nutswingers here esp. with the TT Supra's and Skyline's that are imported from the land of the rising sun.

    None of you guys ever mention that you have these cars running around on your streets.

    Do the USA have laws that stop the imports from happening?

    BTW many 4th gen f-body's had governers from the factory as well....
