It is one of the first main series of alterations for Nissan's GT-R, which ultimately becomes available for sale in the United Kingdom in 2009 with the latest enhancements. Powertrain potency has gone up by 5 hp to 478 hp courtesy of enhanced onboard computer management and better manufacturing tolerances attained on the GT-R's engine line which is mainly hand-assembled.Now, the fuel efficiency is a bit improved from 23.2 mpg to 23.4 mpg and the vehicle has also a larger 74-liter gasoline tank.
Other additions by Nissan include new dampers and modified front spring rates to improve handling and enhance the ride experience.

Smaller enhancements consist of a better fit between the front wing and bumper and a number plate mounting that has become slimmer.
