GTR ECU Cracked: Top End Now Higher Than a Civic’s

By John Coyle

Ok, so the actual top speed has always been higher than the little Honda’s. But unless the nanny-tech GPS system confirms the car is on a race track, a stock GTR won’t exceed 112MPH. It’s really lame that Nissan’s engineers put Godzilla on such a short leash, but fortunately, American company COBB Tuning has cracked the ECU’s code, so owners who opt for the treatment will be able to get all the performance they paid for. More over at Winding Road.

Nissan / Ghosen really screwed up again..
it amazes me that Nissan just doesn’t get it…

I like this car, can afford it…Yet, their dealerships are more
interested in gouging customers rather than having more units of this car sold… Keep the high price, but no marks up and more of them available….

Lastly, and whats very sad is that I grew up in the homeland and birthplace of import racing (Gardena Ca. / Meiji Market…Back in 1978) where skylines were seen more often than anywhere and now that it is finally sold in U.S. F**kin Nissan pulls all these stunts.

Goughing customers, speed governors,and the car looks like a 350 and a G37… I mean at least design an exterior that is timeless.

This car should be a collectible.., but unfortunately it will go down in value due to its techy, robotic, transformer look.

I have lost alot of my interest in this car and Nissan
sales guys – repeat business is what you want, not the one time take the customer to the drain.

I agree, this is BULLSHIT. I don’t understand why Nissan would do this. This is the cars only flaw. It shouldn’t even exist in the first place, b/c seriously how many people have access to a race track around them?

I said this was going to happen when the first blog about the GTR’s Big Brother ECU came up, and now with the mark up on the cars, the dealerships should be offering this service to the customer for free.
