RACE First to Install HKS VAC Speed Cut for the GT-R R35/VR38DETT

What’s a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that produces 473 horsepower and 588Nm of torque doing running with a speed limiter?

The techie boys at RACE can now lay claim as the first tuner to install the HKS VAC (Velocity Advanced Computer) speed cut for the GT-R R35/VR38DETT. The HKS VAC eliminates the stock speed limiter which limits road driving to a pedestrian 180km/h.

The GT-R accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 3.5 seconds, finishes the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 192 mph. Absolute power corrupts!
