gtr>maserati

 

this issues are for Japaneese versions only, US wont have that BS. And I bet with no time everything will be reprogrammed.

 

Since it's not a concept car anymore is there a chance 6 Speed will actually permit a forum for it?

 

rumors. wait till the cars get to the US then you can make a decision.

 

Rumor nuked

vladcanada is right...just give it some time.

Cobb motorsports ( in SLC ) have been working on the uncrackable ECU and have begun to find some ******....so far they have been able to successfully been able to remove that pesky top speed block on the JDM model, ran a baseline dyno for it, and started to prototype parts.

Negative.

Read the Motor Trend article:

"As for the wheel and tire rumor: That the factory wheels cannot be removed without sending an error code to the ECU, MINE'S has proven this myth wrong. It's been able to take off wheels, rotate them, and even change to higher-performance, non-run-flat tires. It did have to take the wheels to the Nissan dealership to get the job done at great expense; MINE'S ended up paying about $230 per wheel in labor.

Putting aftermarket rims on a GT-R is different story: Because of a sensor located near the valve stem in each wheel, it isn't possible for the car to run on aftermarket rims without throwing an error code. All blinged-out GT-Rs at Auto Salon got there on stockers and only then were the shoes changed."

 

NAPO

I didn't know that before, thanks for keeping me updated, the GT-R seems loaded with lots of unnecessary gizmos

 

non-stockers :

 

What is with Jap car owners and stickers?

 

Uh...

#1: "Jap" is an epithet (racial slur) if you didn't know.

#2: Stickers on cars is not exclusive to Japanese car owners. It has more to do with people advertising their sponsored products. You've never seen European cars with stickers showing off "AC Schnitzer" or the like?

If that was your attempt at putting down Japanese or Asian people: you are going to have to try harder. If you were being sincere: I don't know what to say.

 

US-owners won't have to worry about the GPS-based restrictions.

The reason why aftermarket wheels are out is because the stock wheels have a special bead to prevent separation while accelerating/stopping/cornering at high G-loads. All it says is that it throws an error code on the dash. I don't know if that prevents you from driving the car or not.

 

I wasn't being "racist", give me a break! And as for the stickers, it seems like they are always on ricers or 16 year olds cars if you ask me....

 

No one said you were being racist. You used an epithet whether you were ignorant to the fact or not. I let you know.

You asked why Japanese people always put stickers on their cars. I answered your question by pointing out there is an alternative explanation for your observation: stickers go on show cars or cars with sponsored products. It is not exclusive to Japanese people.

I also said you were either trying to insult them or just made a completely obtuse observation. If it wasn't the former as you contend (btw, you don't need to put quotation marks around the term racist) then it must be the latter. And I have no comment on that.

And for your edification, the etymology of the term "ricer" has racist ties, although most people contend that it is not racist.
