Nissan’s GT-R sports car has been added with a number of parts and accessories to enhance its performance and aesthetics. The adjustments take place as Nissan wams-up one of its Class-A frontrunners for the next year.

The GT-R was first introduced as a concept car in 2001 and its in 2005, where its first prototype was first revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show. Few have expected that the GT-R will be accessible in the market so quickly and become Nissan’s technological answer for the new millennium.

The Nissan GT-R got its origins from the later Nissan Skyline and Skyline GT-R models, which for years, have carried the latest Nissan technology for decades. Several exterior, interior and underchassis features of the Nissan Skyline have been passed on to the Nissan GT-R. Some of which are its lustrous and stylish look and its all-wheel drive. The only difference is the GT-R’s engine, components and parts have much superior quality and performance.

Being in control of the GT-R provides extraordinary speeds of over 300km/h and thanks to its power to weight ratio of less than 4.0 kg, the GT-R’s merit of being a supercar exceeds expectations.

Changes that come with the 2010 GT-R were made to attract more customers and to comply with Euro 5 carbon emission laws. This will lower the GT-Rs CO2 emission and will not sacrifice its power output. Fuel efficiency has been a top priority for car manufacturers and the resolution correlates to most countries, chiefly in North America and Europe to lower carbon footprint.

The changes with the exterior include double-coat finishes on both front and rear bumpers giving them a showroom finish look. Interior enhancements can be seen on its dashboard gauges where a metallic look can be seen by its driver. More insulated seats and wider navigation panel in wide VGA.

The changes to the GT-Rs interior and exterior pales compared to the changes to its mechanical components will make the person behind the wheel of this car appreciate the convenience in driving and comfortable ride.

Suspension

Shock absorbers on the front have been changed to a much tougher and flexible springs than its predecessor and the manufacturer have improved the suspension radius rod bushings for maximum and stable ride comfort and easier cornering.

Brakes

The electronic brakeforce’s balance has been moved slightly backwards to provide added braking stability. The improvements to reduce noise has been done to the rear brake cross spring and the rear brake cooling system is increased by a modified air deflector.

Transmission

Change in the gearbox offers smoother downshifts eliminating stresses on the transmission. Furthermore, the reduction in rear axle binding is credited to the logic controlling torque. Finally, a more stiffened front transmission mount is positioned to decrease shuddering through the driveline during heavy-load driving.

Cooling System

The carbon fibre underfloor diffuser has been fitted with two NACA cooling ducts which is typical to modern racecars. The addition of the NACA cooling system provides further cooling to the GT-Rs gearbox and exhaust. Gearbox temperatures is also reduced more with a much bigger diameter pipe that connects to the oil cooler.
