I wonder how they got the volks to be compatible?
Is it just me, or did Nissan make the car difficult to tune so they could own the customization market? I respect the car, but the poor tune-ability bugs me

It's my understanding Nissan made the car "un-tuneable" because of warranty issues. Supposedly the dual clutch transmission can't handle significantly more horsepower than the stock car produces. Regardless, many tuners (Cobb, e.g.) already have prototype engine management software for the car that in conjunctionwith better breathing increases horsepower by approximately 10%.
Mitsubishi has the same issue with their new dual clutch transmission for the Evo X MR.

Volk Racing make the wheels for NISMO's Super GT cars, so I'm sure they worked something out.

Volk/Rays made the OEM wheels. I think they "might" know how to make them work.
How come people believe this car is untuneable ? Is it all the press releases ?
The Japanese speed limiter has been hacked months ago. More than 10 companies offer ECU's and tuning for the car already.
Many companies offer wheels and tires for the car... BBS anyone ?
