2013 Nissan GT-R gets a tweak

Nissan has had a play with the GT-R for 2013 with suspension upgrades, sharper responses and a more comfortable ride.

On the performance front, the 2013 model year Nissan GT-R gets a set of new high-output injectors which give more concise control to fuel for better mid range and high rev response, a new relief valve for the turbocharger bypass cuts the decrease of pressure to sustain response and a new oil pan baffle helps maintain oil pressure.

On the handling front Nissan has revised dampers, springs and the front anti-roll bar to lower the centre of gravity, new cam bolts on the front suspension improve accuracy and the torque carrying capacity of the driveshaft to hub bearings has been increased to you can attack a track more reliably.

And that’s about it except for the dash panel bar getting reinforced for better suspension control and rigidity.

It doesn’t seem to amount to much, but you’ve got to love the way Nissan – or, more particularly, Kazutoshi Mizuno – constantly reviews and improves the mighty Godzilla.

The 2013 Nissan GT-R goes on sale in the UK in Spring 2013.
