2009 GT-R Modifications

There's been a lot of articles surrounding Nissan's attempt to limit modifications to the new car and how the GPS system tracks whether you're on a race track and void warranties and stuff.
This article
from Motor Trend gives some detail on what has been done by the famous tuner MINE's and some of the restrictions Nissan has put on the car. Now keep in mind that the US spec car might or might not have these restrictions.

Mine's R35 GTR

The famous Japanese tuner Mines has taken to the Tsukuba circuit for a time attack in their brand new Nissan R35 GTR, managing a time of 1m 3.1s around the track. This places it in front of the Lamborghini Gallardo, which manages a 1m 3.6s time around the same track.This car has a reputation to live up to as the old Mines prepped R34 GT-R model achieved a 57.7s time around the circuit. But we’re sure that this car has great potential. Apparently the car was run with the VDC in the R setting instead of turned off and the car’s traction control was affecting its performance on the day.

Custom Downpipe with High Flow Cat for S14 KAT

Finally got the high flow cat I ordered from hottexhaust.com. 3" ID-11" Length 300 cell density Metallic Substrate Universal Catalytic Converter Magnaflow 59929 was what I got. I originally ordered the shorter one (8" length), but it never came. I finally called them yesterday (I ordered it on 11/12) they told me it was back ordered. The guy said he'd give me the 11" one for the same price. And I got it the next day after the phone call which was pretty cool.
