GT-R Vs the World on GT Channel

GT Channel

Here is the lineup:

Porsche 911 GT3 (Naoki Hattori)
Porsche 911 Turbo (Takayuki Kinoshita)
Lamborghini Gallardo Super Leggera (Daisuke Ito)
Honda NSX-R (Seiji Ara)
Nissan GT-R (Keiichi Tsuchiya)

This battle was a 4 lap battle. Unfortunatley we can’t show you the entire battle or tell who won. We’d get fired and be on the streets washing cars before you can say “Tsukuba”. But maybe we can tell you which cars were in the front 2 grids. Try guessing…

The Porsche 911 Turbo and the GT3…yeah no shit.

US GT-R Speed Limiter

From the GT Channel

In Japan the GT-R has a speed limiter set at 180KM(111mph) and automatically releases when you enter a domestic circuit. The GPS communicates to the ECU to cut the limiter.

Our sources say that the US version has a limiter set at 250KM(156mph) but there is no GPS communication to the ECU to cut the limiter. This means anyone who wants to go faster must crack the ECU.

Nissan has been extremely cautious about any kind of modification to the GT-R including the ECU. Nissan technicians have encrypted the ECU ever more than any car they have produced. It is said that only a handful of people in this world can crack the ECU of the GT-R.

Its just the handful of people in the world that can hack it, are going to hack it. All it takes is one person and the internet , and its done.
