2013 gt-r (570hp)
#31
I could care less what they changed. I'm sure my '07 thats properly tuned is faster than the 2013 GTR and probably still spend less money altogether than the price of the 2013 car! For reference, they have raised the price close to 50% more than what I paid for in the end of 07 and I had the car before everybody else.

So to upgrade an older model, who would you discuss this with. I have a 2010 GT-R, can I upgrade to a LC-3 or LC-4 and can I get the new front carbon fiber sway bar? How about the other suspension changes in the 2012, are those available to me as well? To be honest, I am not sure if you will be able to upgrade a 2012 model to a 2013 at this time based on previous models as described. This maybe a good reason to sell your old GT-R and buy and 2013!
But like we could upgrade the aero with the '12 pieces, I'm sure you could upgrade the suspension, cf strut bar, etc..., but at a steep price that I wouldn't pay (because, for me, it's not worth it - which is why I haven't traded mine in).
I do feel, however, that the 2013 will be that much of an upgrade, that I'm seriously considering it. What I may end up doing, is trying to wait for the swan song (anticipating that there will be a gap between the R35 and R36), pick up the last iteration of the R35, keep the '09 CBA, and wait for the R36.

Nissan is not offering a 'refresh kit' for us CBA owners. And there is no reprogram of the LC available either.

Thanks for the revision update as stated above. You have a tough decision since you already own a 2009. I might be inclined to hold on to it for a really major body update possibly in the R36 (like an R34 vs R35). I just couldn't see upgrading to a 2013 since it still looks virtually identical to the 2009 model which is still 5 years new.

I don't think they are going to change too much on the chassis to give it a new chassis code (CBA > DBA). But they've made changes on the car every year since its inception. Next year will be no different.
I personally feel that the changes to 2013 will allow the 2012 to be upgradeable.

I've been reading that the 570HP Version will be the Spec R. Gonna be even a higher price than a Spec V
the base GTR will still be 530HP.
I was just checking nissan japan's website... there are no mentioning on the Spec V anymore. So I guess its discontinued?
