Edmunds Insideline 2009 Nissan GT-R: Reprogrammed and Gets Faster

aston_martin submitted on 2/14/2009 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 10:07:46 PM

Bottom line, the GT-R with the revised software will be quicker with the VDC on, but not as quick as it was before with the VDC turned off. Only a trip to the track will reveal exactly how performance will be affected. This is what we wrote a coup...

EVO Magazine Tests the new Nissan 370Z

aston_martin submitted on 2/4/2009 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 3:00:32 AM

Sharper and more powerful, Nissan’s new 370Z gains the edge Koblenz. The sign clearly says Koblenz. My geography isn’t great (despite being quite handy at colouring in), but the last time I looked, Koblenz was in Germany. And yet I’m pretty sure I...

MotiveMagazine Nissan 370z VS. Porsche Cayman S

aston_martin submitted on 12/16/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 2:22:52 PM

You didn't used to be like this, Nissan. Up until the GT-R arrived this year, and with the exception of the 370Z's predecessor, you've spent the last decade building modest SUVs, trucks, and sedans for the masses. Sure, there have been a few hot comp...

EVO Magazine: Nissan Skyline GT-R Birth Of An Icon 1989

aston_martin submitted on 7/5/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 5:57:24 PM

Potent engine and four-wheel-drive, the GT-R took the performance car world by storm. OK, so strictly speaking the very first Nissan Skyline GT-R actually appeared some 20 years earlier. Indeed, the installation of a 160bhp 2-litre engine in the r...

EVO Magazine Long Term Test: Mitsubishi Evo X FQ-300 SST.....More Exciting Then The M3?

aston_martin submitted on 7/5/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 5:42:16 PM

The latest Evo didn’t cover itself with glory in Henry’s twin test with the Impreza STI last issue. Thin power delivery, no steering feel, worrying glimpses of defaulting to the mainstream… these were not promising judgments. Has the Evo line lost it...

Jeremy Clarkson Reviews Nissan GT-R: The problem is ... it’s out of this world

aston_martin submitted on 6/8/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 4:33:33 PM

The last time Nissan did a GT-R, it was based on the old two-door Skyline saloon. The company couldn’t do that this time round because the current Skyline saloon is too ghastly. So instead, a small team, in a hermetically sealed factory, set to work ...

Webrides.tv pits Nissan GT-R against Ford GT

aston_martin submitted on 6/7/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 12:34:04 AM

The much lauded Nissan GT-R has been out long enough to be pitted against what many consider to be its main arch rival, the Porsche 911 Turbo, by nearly every auto rag. One even threw in a BMW M3 that somehow beat it, and no one's been able to get Ge...
