Re: The (Prospective) GTR Owners Thread
HKS is a plug n play solution - much like the procede v2 in the 335i - it cuts in between the ECU and the engine - and alters the commands (if I recall/understand correctly) so you dont need to send the ECU to mines to be remapped.

Keith dropped off the car after I was done with my chores so went out for some kopi, along with another friend, then went for a drive to Changi and back to the West, taking time to get used to the car, the dimensions and the controls.
Car is large, and after getting used to my tiny i for so long, it got a bit scary, esp the stretch of road where all the lanes narrow outside Little India heading towards KK Hospital.
Experimented a bit with the suspension settings. Standard mode is firm and very controlled. I think that would be my preferred choice for day to day driving. Comfort reminded me of Vios. I was pretty surprised that it was too soft for my liking, except when I had to go over some bumpy roadworks. It's actually softer than the Audi A4 2.0 mu I test drove a while back.
In R mode, the suspension is very noticeably harder. Going over some imperfections is definitely jarring, but nothing I haven't been used to on my old Evo's Ohlins.
Car is pretty torquey and even keeping below 3500rpm, it's more than enough to potter around and get ahead in traffic lights.
Visibility is surprisingly good. I felt a lot more confident than when I was test driving the Cayman S.
Chalked up abt 200km on the clock so far. Fuel consumption varies by a large margin. Even with my pussy footing around, staying off boost as much as possible and keeping below 3500 revs, the range indicated can fluctuate by almost 30km.

Nissan launching GT-R in Australia Early 2009.
Official Australian R35 GT-R Launch
Given RHD versions coming out next year - possibly singapore next in line?
Whatever else, possibly someone will rip and reencode the MFD software!!!
