Branew tuned Nissan 370Z

December 31st 2008 07:30

Chiba-based Japanese aftermarket tuners, Branew, has unveiled a performance package for the new Nissan 370Z (known as Fairlady Z Z34 in Japan) ahead of its January debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2009.

The images on the official Branew website shows the 370Z kitted out in a bling bodykit featuring a front spoiler, side steps (skirts), rear spoiler - all three parts are available in carbon fibre - and a rear wing. Rounding off the cosmetic upgrades are a set of sexy Branew BW-101 alloy wheels (20-24 inch) in 'Material Finish'.

To ensure the Branew Nissan 370Z isn't all show and no go, the performance package is also available with a titanium and stainless steel exhaust system, a dynamic suspension kit, upgraded brakes and an ECU tune for the 3.7-litre V6.

More details will be available after its TAS debut early next year!

Euro-spec Nissan GT-R receives upgrades for 2009

December 9th 2008 21:30

The venerable Nissan GT-R, aka 'Godzilla', has received an upgrade for the 2009 model year that sees a small hike in power to a maximum of 357 kW (an increase of 3.7 kW), a new set of bespoke Dunlop SP Sport 600 DSST tyres as standard, a new colour (Storm White), black RAYS alloy wheels for the Black Edition and a small price increase.

The awesome, hand-built 3.8-litre V6 twin-turbo engine found in the GT-R has received a minor tweak resulting in a small power hike while torque remains unchanged at a hefty 588 Nm. The special Dunlop SP Sport 600 DSST tyres developed specifically for the GT-R offers awesome grip and durability - as demonstrated during the record-breaking Nurburgring run - while modification has been carried out to the suspension spring rate settings to improve the ride performance.

The 2009 Nissan GT-R will no longer come with the Launch Control facility which has been removed in order to protect the drivetrain.

UPDATED NISSAN GT-R FOR EUROPE

* Engine power increase – up to 485PS ( 5PS)
* Dunlop SP Sport 600 DSST tyres confirmed as standard fit
* 'Storm White' (Pearl) replaces original pearl white exterior colour
* Gun Metal RAYS Alloy wheels now fitted to GT-R and Premium editions
* Black RAYS alloy wheels for Black Edition
* Price now increased for all new orders (from 8 December 2008)

As production of the European specification Nissan GT-R begins in its Tochigi plant in Japan this month, a raft of small but significant changes have been made to the car as part of its kaizen – continuous improvement – philosophy.

The GT-R's hand-built 3.8-litre V6 twin-turbo engine has gained 5PS thanks to some fine tuning of its electronics, taking power output to 485PS, while torque remains unchanged at 588Nm. Additionally, Dunlop SP Sport 600 DSST tyres will be fitted as standard. The tyre was developed specifically for the GT-R and it combines grip and durability, as demonstrated during its 'time-attack' lap of the Nurburgring, which yielded a time of 7 minutes 29 seconds. And, just to improve the ride performance even further a modification has been carried out to the suspension spring rate settings.

Another update sees the introduction of the Gun Metal grey coloured Rays seven-spoke alloy wheel design for the standard and Premium Edition GT-Rs, while the Black Edition will be fitted with the same design but, appropriately, in black. Additionally, customers can now choose a new pearl white called 'Storm' as an exterior colour – an eye-catching, deep white replacing the original pearl white which had a slightly darker shade.

For customers ordering now, the price of the GT-R will start from £56,795 on the road with an increase of £1300 for the Premium Edition (£58,095) and another £1300 for the Black Edition (£59,395). This represents an increase of 3.8 percent.

Deliveries of the GT-R will begin in April through a network of Nissan High Performance Centres, where customers will have contact with highly-trained staff who share their enthusiasm for the GT-R's unique blend of accessible performance, striking design and state-of-the-art technology.

To date, Nissan has taken in excess of 2500 customer orders in Europe with 1200 coming from the UK. Any new customer orders should expect delivery in mid 2010.
