Sean Klingelhoefer: Nissan GT-R

A little while back, Sean Klingelhoefer got a change to do a shoot the world champion LA Laker's center Andrew Bynum's Nissan GT-R for the cover of Super Street Magazine. Sean intentionally shot very low key to accentuate the clouds and I gotta say it work out great, definitely gives the whole photoshoot a dark gritty mood!  For more pics click after the break, or pick up the latest issue of Superstreet!

Quad-Charged GT-R

Other than you really have to watch the video.  Power Enterprise in Japan takes the factory twin-turbocharged GT-R and makes it an even more powerful piece of machinery by throwing on twin Rotrex superchargers.  All famous Japanese driver Dai takes it out for a fancy spin.  Too bad there aren't any English captions.  Video after the break.

Nissan R35 GT-R: Even Minor Accidents aren't Cheap!

This GT-R owner got into a very minor bumper to bumper accident and it ended up costing him.

Nissan R35 GT-R: Even Minor Accidents aren't Cheap!

Ever since the GT-R made it over to the Stateside, automotive enthusiasts on this soil has been drooling.  Its performance is basically unrivaled and the price tag supports that point.  Nevertheless we feel that anyone that actually owns this masterpiece is fortunate.  That is until you get in an accident.  We all know major accidents can be costly, but this unfortunate owner just got into a minor bumper to bumper accident.  But behold, the nifty (or crazy?) pedestrian safety system was triggered.  As you can tell by the photo of the car, any damage is hardly noticeable other than the fact that the hood is propped upward by the windshield.  This is a one use system that was designed by the Japanese for safety purposes is a driver was to hit an actual pedestrian.  The belief is that the unlucky walker would settle on the hood rather than on the windshield or anything worse.  We're not here to argue the functionality behind this system, but to drop our jaws in disbelief at his repair bill.  You see this system caused this lucky GT-R owner to have to replace, in his own words, "the bumper, rams, bonnet hinges...and of course the ECU."  We think it's more of a module than the entire ECU, but at the end of the day his total repair cost was... Eleven Thousand Pounds.  Or in America, close to $18,500.00.  Thinking twice about owning a GT-R?  Or I guess if you're going to get into an accident, might as well make it worth your repair bill huh?  More photos of this car after the break.

Password JDM Nissan GT-R Dry Carbon Wide Front Fenders

Password:JDM has just released their new widebody front fender made out of 100% dry carbon fiber for your Nissan GT-R. These kevlar reinforced dry carbon fenders took 200+ days of development. From a spark of an idea, to painstaking clay modelling to final product.

The main goal was to lighten the front end and assist in eliminating understeerand have the capability to fit 20×11 inch wheels in the front.   The front has been widened by a full 38mm wider at the front without changing the lines of the car. Fender vents were also widened to help get air out of the wheel well area and the front side markers are replaced with carbon inserts. The whole fender is also signicantly lighter that stock.

Price is $3899.99
