The Nissan GT-R arrives in Los Angeles TONIGHT!

SHORT NOTICE, if you know anyone in LA that would want to attend this event, be sure to tell them!

Universal City Nissan in Los Angeles is hosting a party tonight to celebrate the first GT-R delivered in the United States. Steve Millen and the rest of the Nismo group will be in attendance to welcome guests and give their thoughts on Nissan's Flag ship. You may remember Steve Millen recently raced a GT-R against a 911 Turbo and Corvette Z06 around Buttonwillow Raceway in a recent Road and Track comparison test, this is your chance to get his opinion of the car and how it compares to the rest of the world.

Lets see how many SoCal StreetFire enthusiasts we can get there on a few hours notice. I will be the big guy with the goatee and the Camera, please say high if you see me, otherwise look for some uploads tomorrow!

True Turbo Compressor Surge

StreetFire member Synapse shows us an informative video on True Turbo Compressor Surge by testing one of his R33 Nissan Skyline GTR's. Synapse's Video description could not be any more complete. "We came across some true compressor surge while performing some testing on one of our racer's drift Skylines. The BOVs were closed during the testing to make sure that they weren't a factor. But this is what true compressor surge is like. Which is characterized by unstable airflow and more boost than the turbo can take at that RPM."
