Pre-Orders for the Spec-V GT-R Start Decemeber 19th
Sean Morris, Wednesday, December 17, 2008

Have a spare 15,750,000 yen ? Nissan will start taking pre-orders for the Spec V Nissan GT-R starting tomorrow in Japan. The release of the Spec V is set to January 8th, 2009

Power is rated at 485ps with an overboost button. GT-R World says that it has 80 seconds of overboost, and then it needs to reset Maybe 80 seconds on, 80 seconds off. What exactly that means, we will find out a little clearer in the next few weeks.

The biggest, and most significant change is the carbon ceramic brakes. These would contribute greatly to the overall weight reduction of 90kg (198 lbs). To replace the brakes, expect a cost of 4,000,000 yen or about $45,300 dollars. Yes thats right. $45,000 to do a brake job on the Spec V. The expected weight of the Spec V is 1637kg(3608 lbs), still no flyweight.

Many of the parts that we first heard of and saw on the Nismo "Clubsport" GT-R are on the Spec V.

The titanium exhaust and diffuser.

The carbon fiber seats.

The suspension is 10-15 mm lower, and the suspension setting is fixed in the "R" mode. The front lip will have a carbon brake duct located in it.

Volume is expected to be 30 units per month in Japan. The Spec V will only be available though 7 selected dealerships in Japan. The requirements for this vehicle are very high, which is why we should not expect to see this car in the United States.

GT-R World quotes Tim Gallagher of Nissan North America, and says that the Spec V is not expected to be available in North America.

Sounds a little crazy. $40k for brakes... Wonder if all this is true.
 
wow another good car that japan is keeping to themselves. who else is not surprised?
 
45.000 for a set of 4 rotors!!! i mean they are carbon ceramic but , wtf!!.. the ZR1 has carbon fiber ceramic. lets see how much GM charges for it
 
Probably much of the same since its rotors are the same brembo's found in a couple exotics.
 
I have no idea either.

GT-R's are cool but big brother isn't. I'm not sure how much the GT-R market really cares about that but somebody should fill Nissan in.
 
and you will probably only be allowed to turn it on no more than 1 time every oil change or they will void the warranty
