Saw this neat dyno of the GTR. Stock...460whp!

hum that's nice

but they should change their marking cause it says BHP at both places

Sorry but a stock GTR can't have 460 whp ....me its stock ( exhaust and Apexi power intake ) with a tuning on the dyno at 12 psi and I got 340 Whp ! ( and its very good ) 460 WHP its the power I will have with my new turbo and new injector at 18-20 psi of boost ...

Ummm, this would be the new GTR, as the forum topic would indicate ^^^.


but on topic, thats cool, its nice to see them under-rating their cars. Its funny when so many manufacturers like to fudge numbers, Nissan still has class.

i think its part of the GTR's reputation

example 1989 GTR 287 hp from factory.. ( we all know that some have dyno'd over 300 whp, with factory specs..

also it my have something to do with the "gentelmen's agrment" from the days of old..? back then 300 hp, was the "limit"..


so perhaps todays "limit" 500 hp??

[Cruiserdude]

In Japan and many other countries, cars with over 500 hp automatically go into a much higher tax bracket, and have significantly higher insurance in any country. 500hp seems to be where the current line is for "a wicked excess of power", whereas given the weight of vehicles today, anything under that number could still be considered "reasonable".
