Focus Auto Sales graciously loaned their $120k 1999 R34 Nissan Skyline GTR Vspec in factory Lightning Yellow (one of the rarest R34 GTR colors available) for this test drive. In order for Kerry Ann De La Cruz to properly test drive the 580hp Skyline she had to ditch the heels but unfortunately not the bikini!
Last week (Oct 7, 2009) in Vancouver, BC at a VanCity Bank, a Nissan GT-R crashed up the stairs and into the outside ATM machines almost killing 2 pedestrians!

The front bumper features aggressive cooler ducts in carbon and a carbon fiber lower lip.
Their very own R35 GT-R phantom is a “show and track” car (see videos below), equipped with the best products in all categories. With Powerhouse Amuse tweaks the GT-R’s VR38DETT engine now pumps out 611hp at 6200 rpm.
Having seen the original Branew Nissan GT-R at the 2008 Sema Show in Las Vegas this past November, it surely didn’t take Branew long to whip up another sexy front clip available in FRP or Carbon Fiber called The Front Bumper Dynamic Version. I will make sure I take a tonne of photos of this new clip because I think it makes a very nice modification to the already sexy Nissan GT-R front end!
Do you have a brand new stock Nissan GT-R on order, or maybe just took delivery? Then “Garage Defend” might have just what you need…specialized in Nissan Sportscars (and a couple others), this very professional dealer told Nihon Car about their latest “beast” based on the Almighty R35 GTR.
Mines have developed adjustable coil over suspension, a 400mm brake kit, high-flow catalysts and a more freer-flowing titanium exhaust system. This has already seen a 20bhp hike in dyno tests and the firm is busying itself working on the ECU to allow the car to run higher boost levels.
Some new images have just surfaced of some new Transformers action figures of the Audi R8 and surprisingly a Nissan GT-R. This brings out all the OUUUUS and AWEESSS of the kid in me. I used to own a Porsche JAZZ Autobot figure back in the day, which in the last Transformers movie they decided to make him a tuned Pontiac Solstice…
Amused to Death? With the Amuse Hi-tech ROM, exhaust system, and newly increased boost levels the car is now outputting over 600 hp with light tuning!?!?!?
Arios have been hard at work with their Nissan GT-R after taking delivery at the end of January giving it a custom look that stands out from the crowd.

The system modulates engine torque 100 times per second to give the driver the optimal amount of traction on a full throttle start. The best news? Corvette's Launch Control System will not void your warranty!
MotorTrend serves up a quick video of a straight line drag race between the Corvette ZR1 (638hp), Ferrari 599 GTB (612hp), Nissan GT-R (480hp), Porsche 911 GT2 (530hp).
The prototype example of Nissan’s new GT-R Spec V has been dazzling observers of its Nurburgring testing of late, reportedly turning in lap times of an almost unbelievable 7:25. If correct, those numbers would make the V Spec substantially faster than the ultra hardcore Pagani Zonda F Clubsport, which set a production car record last October with a lap time of just under 7:28.
He came, he drove, he conquered – in many comparative tests: The Nissan GT-R has dethroned the Ceasars of the Nordschleife with impressive lap times. This 485PS sportsman’s special achievement deserves a medal. So Cargraphic has given it four, with an expressive set of 21-inch GT wheels.
Nissan and GM have both released press statements and videos bragging about their amazing lap times around the northern loop of the Nurburgring. Much debate and speculation has exploded into the authenticity of each vehicles “ring runs” between Nissan’s GT-R (Godzilla Awakes on Steroids) and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (King of the Road).
