Well now this is not true due to the class action law suit. All GTR's are now covered using the LC or by turning the traction control off as long as you upgrade to the new LC. He must have blown his along time ago but he could still get it repaired way cheaper from somewhere other than Nissan

Good runs with ISF. When it warms back up I am going to take mine to the track for a few runs. The GTR modded any?

The weather at Fontana yesterday was pretty nice, most 52-59 degrees. My IS-F has the Joe-Z intake and PTS exhaust. I am ran with 275/40/17 Mickey Thompson ET street radials on 17x9.5 Volk Racing RE30 matte black. The GT-R is stock except for wheels and a drop. On my first run I ran the IS-F with 30 PSI on the M/T tires...LoL...second run I ran it on 19 PSI...third run I failed by shifting early...heh Well I hope you guys enjoy the video, they were taken with my new Sony HD camcorder and my cousin was filming so blame him for the camera work...

I thought so. Very ammusing how just about anyone can jump in a GTR and run sub 12s times.

Have you considered the ecu mod yet? Let me tell you it is a night and day diff from stock. With a mid pipe and cobb tune I am looking at sub 11s!! and power is everywhere.

haha well I did order the HKS GT600 kit and I have the HKS legamax tig welded exhaust just sitting at my friend's shop...so hopefully that will make power...I am still deciding on what ecu mod...cobb, haltech, or maybe wait for HKS to come out with their F-con? I heard some people on NAGTROC say stuff about it...

Yeah i have heard about the hks fcon but its not even released yet and we dont know when it will be. Best bang for the ECU buck is the cobb hands down. Its the most developed and keeps getting better with every update.

HKS GT600 kit whoa big bucks man. Not tellin you what to do with your car but send it back and just get a tune with Down pipes, mid pipes and your exhaust. You will make the same or more with a good cobb tuner. I havent seen a HKS kit running in the 10s yet but have seen several cobb-exhaust tunes do it.

HKS GT600, is it the one from Hennessy Performance?

http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/...ctionReq=Where

Or is it similar to this?
http://www.gtrmod.com/HKS-R35-GT570-...4033-an001.htm

If it's one from 2nd site than, HKS clearly does not warrant the car at all what's so ever, no?
