Nismo Releases their GT-R Performance Package
August 29, 2008 by JunkFace · Leave a Comment
Nismo has finally released their tuning package for the GT-R! It’s available for purchase in parts or as a whole package, but unfortunately you have to be a Japanese GT-R owner to buy them. Reportedly people are working on getting these parts to the states, but don’t hold your breath. Even if importers can work out a deal, the cost for the whole kit is $50,000. Even though that price includes installation by a master Nismo technician, you could almost buy another GT-R for that price…so what do you get for all that cash?
How about an all titanium cat-back exhaust system that shaves 11 pounds off the GT-R’s curb weight and a carbon fiber under body panel that gives you better aerodynamics. Not enough? There’s also a pair of Nismo racing seats: carbon fiber shells wrapped in leather that will save you another 12 lbs. per seat. Still want more? Then lets work on the suspension a bit: 20″ Rays rims wrapped up in Bridgestone’s RE070R run flats (rumored to be OE on the upcoming Spec V) along with a set of revised Bilstein dampers and rock-hard coil springs to get you through the corners even faster.
There’s no word on how much faster this will make your GT-R, but it doesn’t sound like these performance mods are worth $50,000. I still can’t wait to see what happens when a tuner gets a hold of one, throws on some bigger turbo’s and cranks up the boost! More on this Nismo package as the information becomes available.
