Here is an angle of the GTR you probably haven't seen yet.



Yep...it has a carbon fiber rear under-tray. Very flat underside.

The exhaust routing doesn't seem optimal...and neither is the primary exhaust pipe diameter. So something left on the table for tuners.

Look how small the rear sway bar is (atleast compared to an s2000)! Or maybe it's just because the GTR is so big!

And even the lower link looks too small, like it'll buckle under hard cornering.

The car is $70,000(not like anyone will get it near that). Cost cutting needed to be done somewhere. Its only a matter of time before someone knowledgable figures out where.

if the spring rates them selves are more than sufficient than a large anti-sway bar is really not needed.

wasn't there an article from a while back with some t00ner tweaking the ECU and upping the boost on the GTR, and while messing with the turbo back exhaust found out that replacing the exhaust didn't bring any extra power, because the factory piping was already optimal? that thread was in Car Talk and i remember it because i posted like 3 times in it...

This car has next to no body roll with the dampers in R mode. I think the rear anti-sway bar is there for posterity.
