Eight days, 3400 miles, 13 states and nine race tracks later, the Nissan GT-R of Steven Rankins and Will Taylor takes the 2009 Tire Rack One Lap of America crown. The season-of-racing-in-a-week concluded this morning where and how it began: On the skidpad at the Tire Rack’s headquarters in South Bend, Indiana.

For all you Nissan guys, Golden Gardens is coming up fast! Each year, NorthwestNissans gathers together the club and holds the biggest Nissan hardparking event in the Pacific Northwest. I thought I’d dig up in the archives and reveal a few photos of our lovely Jessi and Vivi. As I said to Vivian, “Irashai masu! kawaii neee!” (._.) Later that evening, me and the guys from JBS Design and DList Mag sat down with her for sushi!
Here are a few shots from Golden Gardens.

When the Nissan GT-R was released there was a loud cry from fans: “Give us a proper manual!” they demanded. Given the layout of the car’s drivetrain (rear dual-clutch transaxle), the logical conclusion was that a manual gearbox swap simply wasn’t possible.
Blitz has been eagerly building their D1GP spec R35 in throughout 2009, Nomuken will pilot this GT-R, equipped with a Holinger Sequential Transmission. Try to find one of these used, yes you can. It will cost you up too 1,700,000 Yen, or $19,000 USD,
thats if you nab the one off of gtr.co.uk! Tomei Powered USA lists these at $30,000.00 USD MSRP!
