Amazing pics there buddy. Your car among the most beautiful I've ever seen. Yes, the elusive existence surprises me too. Do you take it out often ? Or is it just a Track tool ?

- Me : So how much does the car produce with the Nismo block ? Please give me the lunatic numbers !

2009 is the production year of the new engine.

its one of my favorite cars

Cam/Crank belt drive external pulley's and belt cover is transparent! What material is it as even teflon or carbon fiber cannot be that strong in transparent form! Come to think of it teflon/carbon fiber cannot be made in see through pattern? That is definately not glass as that would shatter so what is it? Just plain plexi moulded with proper gaps and clearances as they way it has faded to brown seems to suggest nifty idea if so but may not last very long

Its a transparent cover from Greddy Trust.
Its purely for looks as the old engine had adjustable Tomei cam timing for HKS high lift cams.

Some other Facts about this GTR:

power output varies according to fuel used. The higher the octane the better the boost.
93 octane hello BMW, 97 RON hello Porsche, Aviation fuel hello Hell.

TIEN Super Street adjustable Dampers.
16 way TIEN EDFC controller. (can control hardness or softness from dashboard)
Custom ABS Line lock for Burning rear tires.
Custom ECU to do full boost launch control and with WOT (Wide Open Throttle) shifts.
Drive customizable for Rear wheel Drive, FR drive or 4WD on the fly.
Electronically limited to 8600RPM & 320 Kmph, no i haven't tried.

This is how a GTR 4 WD behaves:

ATTESA-ETS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All-Terrain with Electronic Torque Split)

with the introduction of the R33 Skyline GT-R, Nissan introduced a new version of their ATTESA system. It was named ATTESA-ETS Pro, as an upgrade from the earlier ATTESA ETS. It was standard equipment in the R33 Skyline GT-R Vspec model, however it was offered as an option on the standard R33 Skyline GT-R, and called the "Active LSD option".

ATTESA-E-TS Pro differs from the standard ATTESA-E-TS in a few ways. Where ATTESA-E-TS controls the front to rear torque-split, the Pro is also capable of left-and-right torque split to the rear wheels. This is done via an active rear limited-slip differential. Additionally, the ATTESA-E-TS Pro was marketed as controlling the four-wheel independent ABS braking system. This is not part of the AWD system, but the ECU makes use of the same sensors to determine wheel slip and traction.

On ATTESA-E-TS Pro equipped vehicles, the front differential remains a standard limited slip differential, not being linked to the ATTESA-E-TS Pro system.

^^Man o man what a lovely warning? Just plain good. And yes you got one hell of a car man.

VLOCT · 3rd May 2010, 22:49

That's pretty awesome. Nissan is the only Japanese maker that even remotely interested me. Give her a good thrashing for all of us mortals here.

Cheers

Great car! Stuff of dreams for any street racer. I see you have lost the skirting on the front bumper.Indian roads to blame?

I like that!

That's a pretty nifty trick! When in FWD mode,does the limited slip diff up front help countering all that torque steer,with massive amounts of power driving just the front wheels?

320kmph is insane! Don't even try,unless its a deserted airstrip! But you must have redlined it,with the revs bouncing off the rev limiter,just for the sheer carnal pleasure of it!

man,this is what i call a mean machine. Always wanted one in my garage.Great awseome car with great potential. NISMO ROCKZZZ!!

arjunrudra · 4th May 2010, 05:44

Wow this is turning out to be one of the meanest cars in the forum. Totally rocks.Love the looks and the minimalistic mods on the outside. Looks fabulous .
Just one question though ! Is the V spec engine producing more power than the stock engine which u have mentioned to produce 680 bhp ?
The Modifications were done at Elektra right ?
Remember seeing the car there once.

Well v-spec is limited edition. Wiki it.
It's all abt the diff.
This engine (n1) can be tuned upto 1200bhp.
But I am not that crazy. My old engine could generate 680.
And This one is more usable power . As I said Earlier I am not giving any specific numbers.
