Just got an email about the South African police getting special built GTR's

A cut and paste. Not sure if this is a repost

"Motorists who jump red lights, break the speed limit and generally drive with reckless abandon are in for a rude shock if they misbehave over the Easter long weekend and beyond.

The Johannesburg and Tshwane law enforcement departments, in a unique joint venture, have acquired six very special police cars.

NISMO tuned for silly performance

The new Nissan GT-R Terminator is arguably the fastest police car in the world.

Developed in close cooperation with NISMO, the GT-R Terminator outpaces even Nissan's own SpecV car by boosting its 3.8l V6 turbo to 440kW (compared with the stock car's 357kW) and capable of 0 to 100 km/h time in under 3.5 seconds. There’s plenty of power to catch the most well-equipped bandit.

The purpose-built all-wheel-drive police car has been specially adapted for the rigours of police work in modern day Gauteng and to match the high-tech and high-speed cars available today that are setting new standards in speeding and irresponsible driving. It was developed in conjunction with law enforcement professionals.

Nissan South Africa also hosted top ranking law enforcement officials at the Nissan plant in Japan to oversee the bespoke construction process, where all GT-Rs are hand built by specialist technicians.

GT-R Terminator engines are hand-built by expert technicians at NISMO headquarters in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo.

Cabin trimmed and weapon specced

The interior has been substantially redesigned to meet police needs, including more cup holders and compartments for Glocks and hand-cuffs. A lot of trim and the usual luxury features found in a standard Nissan GT-R have been stripped out to reduce the Terminator’s weight by 200kg to a club-sportesque 1 550kg.

According to a spokesperson for the Joburg law enforcement department, the new Nissan Terminators will enable law enforcement officers to patrol the new roads being built around Gauteng and protect the law-abiding motorists from the rash actions of “these animals who threaten our safety every day.

"There are some very fast cars out there," he said "and it takes an even faster car to catch them. Now we have the faster car, they must beware. They will be locked up when we catch them and we’ll throw the keys away."

Only a limited number of police officers will be assigned to the new vehicles and they underwent various precision driving courses presented by the Nissan precision driving academy.

Interest is being shown in the new South African police car from law enforcement agencies around the world, with law enforcement departments in the United States already cancelling orders for the recently announced Ford Police Interceptor."

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
