Dampers, stability control and gearchange speed all have multiple settings to adjust their level of aggression.
A three-year service program is included with the purchase of each
GT-R. This program consists of wheel alignments and engine and
transmission checkups every year. Only those dealerships willing to
invest in this equipment and training required by the factory have a
shot at having GT-Rs grace their showrooms. In Japan, 10 percent of
Nissan's sales outlets will offer GT-Rs and we expect a similar ratio
Stateside.
Engine and Drivetrain:
The engine designation is VR38DETT (Twin Turbocharged 3.8-liter V6) 60-degree vee
angle and bore spacing with Nissan's acclaimed VQ-Series, which is used
in everything from the 350Z to several Infiniti SUVs. Few parts are
shared between the two engine series.

Below 25 mph the torque split is 50/50, above that, under
normal driving, the split is 40/60. But it can split up to 2/98 under
hard acceleration.
Unlike versions of this system in other Nissan vehicles—the Infiniti G35x,
for example—the GT-R setup employs a yaw sensor and is capable of
instantly transferring torque from side to side, as well as
fore-and-aft, as conditions dictate.
