These have just been supplied to me today, direct from Nissan GB.
Note these are the specs for the Euro cars and do not necessary replicate what the Spec will be for either JDM or US cars.
Updated GT-R for Europe
From the 2009 Tokyo Motor show a press release was given out to the media relating to the 2010MY GT-R which was applicable to the Japanese market. This has caused some confusion with European customers as some of the changes were not applicable to our European version.
Below are the changes that apply to the European version which goes into production from December
Engine and Transmission
• Emissions become Euro 5 compliant, without loss of output or performance
• C02 emission reduced by 3g to 295g/km
• Gearbox logic has been changed to give a later downshift from 6th to 5th when being driven in automatic mode, but a more aggressive downshift pattern is adopted when changing down from 4th to 3rd, and from 3rd to 2nd gear
• Two additional NACA cooling ducts have been added to the carbon fibre underfloor diffuser which will provide additional cooling to the exhaust and gearbox.
• A new, larger diameter pipe connecting the oil cooler will reduce gearbox temperatures
• Front transmission mount has been stiffened to reduce vibration through the driveline under high-load conditions
• The logic controlling torque distribution between the front and rear axles when the GT-R is manoeuvring at low speeds just after start-up, when fluids are cold, has been altered to reduce rear-axle ‘binding’
Braking System
• The rear brake cross spring has a change in design to reduce noise
• A modified air deflector increases rear brake cooling
• Balance of the electronic brakeforce distribution bias has been moved slightly rearwards, giving greater braking stability in dry conditions
Suspension
• Front spring and damper rates adjusted to improve the ride comfort. Handling becomes even more dynamic thanks to improved responsiveness and more accurate control of suspension movements
• Rear suspension radius rod bushings has been stiffened giving an improved feel and responsiveness during cornering
Exterior
• Front and rear bumpers now benefit from a double coat of clear paint, giving a deeper colour finish
Interior
• The speedometer and rev counter now sport a gun metallic finish surrounds
• Uprated insulation has been fitted to the rear seats, further improving cabin refinement
Note these are the specs for the Euro cars and do not necessary replicate what the Spec will be for either JDM or US cars.
