Two parallel Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries (IHI) turbochargers provide forced induction. Models manufactured between 2007 and 2010 are rated at a manufacturer-claimed engine output of 357 kW (485 PS; 479 hp) at 6, 400 rpm and 434 lb⋅ft (588 N⋅m) at 3200–5, 200 rpm.The engine also meets California Air Resources Board Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards.The standard GT-R and the NISMO GT-R has a drag coefficient of Cd=0.26. A curb weight of 1, 730 or 1, 736 kg (3, 814 or 3, 827 lb) with side curtain airbags is achieved using a jig welded steel chassis with aluminium used for the hood, trunk, and doors.A rear mounted six-speed BorgWarner designed dual clutch semi-automatic transmission built by Aichi Machine Industry is used in conjunction with the ATTESA E-TS system to provide power to all four wheels and along with Nissan's Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC-R) to aid in stability.
