Question for the GTR gurus...

Does the US-Spec GTR have a top speed limiter?

they do have ECU controlled speed limiter, not the GPS tracked speed limiter that is in JDM R35.

That's what I thought, too... but apparently, I was wrong.

I just heard from someone at Nissan that there is NO electronic top speed limiter of any kind on the GT-R in the US

The US model has only 1 speed limiter: if you are in 6th gear and you redline it. Other than that there is nothing else and no GPS approved track sensor-- that's just for Japan (sucks for them)

This car should come with a driver, it's ultimate "limiter" is probably fun for the driver LOL!

i guess i heard the wrong info too....
it would be actually great to not have a limiter.
sucks for JDM versions.

Yes it does suck for them, but Mines already came out with a new ECU that will fix that issue. The car has barely been out in Japan so there will be more aftermarket parts from Japanese and US tuners as summer arrives.
