As we know from early JulyPower House Amuse has been offering a large range of titanium exhaust systems for the Nissan R35 GT-R. There’s a lot on offer and it’s not immediately obvious when ordering exactly which exhaust goes with what and exactly how loud or street legal it’s going to be when your done.
The Real JDM have been getting some data straight from Power House Amuse on which exhausts suit which people. You can then go on from there to order it online at GT-RR.com. Check it out if the Amuse exhaust is something you’re thinking of doing when you pickup your new GT-R.
If you own a PS3 and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (and what self respecting GT-R enthusiast doesn’t!) you’ll be keen to hear that come August 1st you’ll be able to download an update enabling you to watch pay-per-download episodes of some of your favourite GT-R and motoring related TV shows in SD and Full HD directly on your PS3.
There’s some awesome content coming like Best Motoring, Option Video, Top Gear, SuperGT as well as original GT TV content like interview’s and such. Some we’ve seen already on internet video sites but new stuff will be coming soon.
Downloads are 99c for the first two weeks and after that $1.99. Pretty cheap if the content is there. We shall see!
Garage Saurus are testing out the new RDD big brake rotor kit. Similar in looks and in size to the Mine’s big brake rotor kit there’s no big surprise to find out they are in fact the same hardware.
Yep these are massive two piece rotors. 400mm front and 400mm rear units they ship with required mounting hardware to ensure the correct fit of the brake calipers.
Priced at 230,000 yen for the front kit and 245,000 yen for the rear kit it’s only very slightly cheaper than the Mine’s kit.
The SuperGT governing body (GTA) is holding an official test today and tomorrow out at Twin Ring Motegi circuit with the GT300 and GT500 racing teams. In preperation for round 7 of the SuperGT 2008 series to be held at Motegi in mid September.
The Toyota SC430 and Honda NSXs continued to show their strength over the Nissan GT-R teams in the GT500 class and turn the best time with the fastest GT-R only managing a 10th place time. Not a great result but of course this is not a points round just a test and perhaps the GTA will see the need to re-evaluate the blanket 75kg weight handicap on all GT-R teams after recent performance.
We still have round 6 to face before the race at Motegi however, the 37th Annual International POKKA 1000km race at Suzuka circuit on the 24th of August. More on that as we come closer to the date.
Well as we reported the other day, the biggest monthly meetup of Japan’s R35 GT-R Club was held on Sunday 27th July and 40 GT-Rs turned up. Some people are sporting some minor modifications on their GT-Rs already and we now have a bunch of photos of those guys up close.
