As Mizuno-san explained it through one of his world famous X/Y graphs, this actually gets rid of lag…not that there was much before hand to my recollection! …a cunning little reworked relief valve in the turbos’ bypass allows for less pressure-drop when backing off the gas, so once you step back on the throttle boost picks up instantly. Thanks to a set of all-new high-pressure injectors, which boast a faster reaction time, throttle response has been made even sharper. Furthermore… The VR38 develops the same 541 HP, but a few slight improvements have been made, little touches that serve as the perfect example at how fanatical the GT-R engineers are at perfecting the car. It still retains the wider front grille design and LED daytime running lights that were previously introduced as well as the forged multi-spoke wheels made by Rays Engineering. So starting with the exterior it was decided that the 2013 car (2014 if you are in the US) would be fine without any changes. We were invited up to Sugo circuit to sample for ourselves if the latest changes for this year actually do improve what is in all effects an aesthetically unvaried car. So here we are, six years on and the famed Godzilla continues to impress. It seems Mizuno-san and the R35 development team weren’t joking when, back in 2007, they announced the GT-R would continue to be fine tuned until the very last year of its production. Don’t blame it on us if we come across as being repetitive, but it’s actually Nissan’s fault.
