Aftermarket, most common method is the Cobb AccessPORT, HKS GT570 is the most common "kit".

Thanks for the compliment but can we keep this about the GTR.
I reckon you saw that at 9am, and have been sitting there furiously trying to think of something funny/clever to engage her with and 4 hours later that is the best you could come up with.
Including getting the help of all of your friend
WTF is your problem? Check my log in time fi you want..if your gonna try and flame me try and come up with something half decent ffs

I'm gonna presume it's just boredom on your behalf...I wish I had 4 hours to sit around furiously thinking of clever retorts to random people in Tinternets land...you with your 6 posts a day for 4 1/2 years on the other hand, are probably the perfect candidate for that job.

I can fully understand what a great car it is, but it doesn't remotely appeal.
Its an odd thing, fairly unique to the GTR that people need to tell others that they dont want one.
I think it is an oddity about the GTR, because I have no idea why such an obviously capable car has so little appeal to me. Given the reviews and specs, I should find the car fascinating, but somehow I don't even particularly want to try driving one. Odd.

That is exactly how I see the car. And it's not just because it's a Nissan. I'd love the chance to fang the R32/33/43 GTR. Just not this one. At all. And I don't know why.

Really tempting, this car. They do have presence in the flesh, mainly by virtue of being so huge. But I like the styling. It's also pretty practical having rear seats and a reasonable boot. Surely the ultimate daily driver?
Tests I've read suggest the rear seats are less useful than those in a 911 - described in NZ Autocar as "the ability to ferry very small, legless children in the rear perching posts Nissan calls seats"

Saw one this morning, some guy doing a school run... They do look so good in the flesh!!! Probably like to pick one up used one day, however judging by the level of interest, I suspect that they will be a premium on the used market..Not sure whether there will be any bargains witin the first couple of years...

Kerry Katona's got one - sums it up for me.
They've had a Ferrari 430, a few porches, an AMG merc..he also has a Ducatti...put you off those cars? should Nissan by interviewing potential customers to weed out the Chavs in case it alienates clueless fools like you?
Suits the drivers personality:
Change up! Change Down! Change up! Down, Up, Down, Down!
Needs rarely available substance when flat (tyres)
Hard to know where the limits of sensibility are when pushed hard
Body mods coming shortly
Very wide round the back end combined with very big exhaust
Will be able to fits entire weeks shop from Iceland - "Wanna coghhhhtail sausage Maaaghk?"

But not keep it frozen, because the boot runs a bit hot

Am I the only one who id bewildered by this post?
I cant comprehend why you wrote any of that
Strikes me that you've just bashed at your keyboard with fingerless hands and hoped for the best.

The Katona couple are more typical of 360/430 drivers in my experience.

Make of that what you will.

Parody on Katona's lifestyle and why the car is suited.
Pretty self explanatory really.

The only thing that might have been hard to grasp is my written Scouse prose

Not true, I have a 13 yr old with legs like a giraffe and a 17 yr old that have no complaints about the rear seats.
