I love this car but it’s really time to move on. Looking for an owner who appreciates a limited edition vehicle (with 150 units only in Malaysia, it IS definitely a rarity!), loves driving and enjoys motorsports as well as wants to be part of a very active R3 community – The R3gister. The lovely, sexy Brigette Liberty Yu, is not part of the package. All stickers have since been removed and the car given a brand new Incognito Black paintjob. Details below:

Malaysian driver Eddie Lew took home his first win in Round 2 of the Asian Touring Car Series at Sepang International Circuit today. It was a good clean race in which 18 of the 25 starters completed the 10-lap outing.
<!–adsense#inline–>Lew beat the Thai favourite, Jack Lemvard, who suffered from a tyre valve tear after a scuffle at the start of the race. Lemvard had to pit to change his right rear tyre and rejoined the race at the tail end and slowly climbed back up the ranks to finish seventh.

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!
