Street car that would go to the drag strip from time to time. I'll be working for the state, so probably shouldn't be too into street racing.
From the pics I think I remember seeing, looks clean for a 129k mile car

Earlier in the week we brought you the news that the incredible Nissan GT-R NISMO had lapped the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 8 seconds, just 11 seconds slower than the Porsche 918.
Well it turns out that it kind of didn’t. The original press release did state that the car used featured ‘track options’, which included ‘aerodynamics tuning, weight reduction, and suspension tuning‘. It turns out that this also includes ‘bigger spoilers for more downforce, different dampers and brake pads, bucket seats that contributed to a significant 50kg weight saving and a new ECU map.‘

Now Nissan weren’t necessarily hiding this fact, and these parts will be made available to customers, but PistonHeads spoke to NISMO engineers, who confessed that the car had also been specifically tuned for the Nurburgring. This is significant as, for example, the ‘Ring car’s dampers are actually softer than standard, to aid the car around the bumpy circuit.
This is another example of just how pointless Nurburgring lap times are as they are completely unregulated. Nissan made bold claims that it broke the lap record for ‘a volume production car’ – it won’t ship engineers to fine-tune your car for the environment in which you’ll be hooning, so it’s not really the ‘volume production car’, is it?

Heater was there for that one.......getting me Piped in the Pits because the guy thought my car was His.....

So built a sick *** jig to narrow/widen for 9" housing along with various others right, and I bragged a little in our local group page and said I'd do anyone's if they needed it for cheap. A guy comments and says, send me pictures of the jig.
I say no, I don't want it copied.
Guy says, that means I'll take my buisness elsewhere.
Me: lol kthxbia

I'd like to see what the Nismo GT-R runs without being specifically tuned for that track. The track options are fine, but I want them to run it as a customer could feasibly receive it. I imagine it's still going to be wicked fast, regardless.

obviously it wouldn't beat the ACR in stock form. otherwise it wouldn't have been an issue.
