so i was reading an artical last month on the skyline last month and they were talking about that it's the first car that japan is making with that much horse power from production stand point. well what got my attention was that there are alot of people who say that all japanese cars are weak that you have to build them to be fast have alot of horse power. well what i found out is that it's not that they cant make cars with alot horse power it's the fact that their is a law out there that no car from factory can have more that 280hp. you could mod it out your self. but from factory you cant have more than 280 hp. the new skyline out there infact is governed to not exceed 115 mph. (not cool.) And another thing is that nissan signed an agreement with alot of japan tuning companies so that they wont make after market performence parts. out here in the states its diffrent though. Another thing is that because of the navigation system that comes in the skyline if you mod it in anyway it sends a signal out to nissan telling the main frame cpu that car has been modded and will automatically void the warrenty. now i read all this and dont know if it's 100% true so correct me if im wrong. but if it is that sucks.

lol
but yeh, the reason japanese cars are "weak" is due to that law.. a lot of the time you can just take out some restrictors and they'll make some more power..
for the gtr you have to be on a track or somewhere likewise to unleash the full potential, thats probably the reason why messing with the nav system voids the warranty..
i still see lots of tuners doing this anyways lol
for so i have been told, i pass this knowledge onto others!Last edited by ric3rboi23; 06-24-2008, 06:32 PM.

as far as messin with navi it's not so much messin with it's the fact that if you mess with the car itself the navigation system has been programed to send and out going signal letting the manufature know that car has been tampered with.
i wonder what kind of messege you get on your navi screen saying your car is warrenty is voided. ( you get a vid of a samurai stabbing himself saying you have dishonerd nissan.) lol

It's a gentlemen's agreement between the companies, not to exceed 280hp (that was in the 90s). All the Skylines, Supras, 300zxs, etc... were sold as 280hp cars. Just about ALL of the top of the line ones were making more, though.
There was no law saying that. Hell, every Japanese automaker has at least one 300+hp car on the market right now. The new GT-R is making quite a bit more than the advertised 476hp as well.
