Helmet question - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Hi all
When we get these helmets on our drivers day, does anyone know if the helmets are just in one colour or the colour that we've ordered?

Thanks

James.

The colour of your car.

hmm, need to get it changed, on the certificate it says dark metal grey but changed it with my dealer to vibrant red a while ago

I was told at the weekend, by the Nissan GT-R European Product Manager that they are *not* in the colour of your car............

Can I ask who told you they are?

Not sure to be honest,
Herd some roumers a while a back, just seeing if they were true.
Rang the concierge service out of curiosity, said she wasnt sure but it was a good question lol

hope those helmets are NOT Snell rated...Snell rated helmets are far too hard for most impacts. I always buy the Euro standard for my helmets - softer and more forgiving. Snell is good for MotoGP, and that's about it.

there were a number of rumours a while back that we'd get a helmet in the colour of car being ordered, and that we'd get to keep it - not sure if this is going to happen in reality though - just have to wait and i see i guess!

Will the helmet have sat-nav and bluetooth!?

I'd also heard that despite giving the size we required when we booked the helmets would infact be allocated on a random basis when we got there!!

now that would be fun!

Some people will be cancelling their order due to the wrong size helmet being available on the day....
Hope the helmet has satnav. Never been to silverstone before! do we go out with an instructor 1st?

Maybe a stupid question but Does anyone know if the helmets will be delivered or you get them on the trackday???
I'm afraid I'm stuck out in Germany so my mail takes that little bit longer to arrive from UK.
