1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R review from Thailand
"Godzilla!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None mechanically. The front bumper is pushed down by the wind at high speed (270 km/h is common for me), it's now sitting about 1 cm lower.
General comments?
Great car. I have added a few aftermarket parts to gain more power. And now it has 377.5 hp to the wheels. This is achieved without playing with ECU or boost control at all, just exhaust, front pipe, air intake, no cat, and big intercooler. Very impressive handling, but the ride is too rough for Thai streets. The brakes are a bit weak for a car this heavy.
