GT5 Transcripts/NISMO 270R '94

Nismo's special edition 270R went on sale in 1994, limited to just 30 units. Nismo, Nissan's motorsports arm and factory tuner, was among the first factory tuners in Japan, and the 270R represented one of its first complete-car projects.
Based on the S14 Silvia, the 270 in its name referred to the power output of its engine, rather than the displacement, as was the case with the 180SX. Nismo increased the power of the engine, not by installing larger turbos, but incorporating custom cams, an intercooler and a revised ECU (Electronic Control Unit aka "chip"). Low to mid-range torque was retained in order to not compromise its on-road civility. An upgraded clutch and driveshaft were incorporated to match the engine's extra output.
The suspension was set up for the street, but slight modifications to the chassis were made to sharpen the car's handling. Ride height was lowered 0.3 inches, and the shock and springs were firmer. Improved bushings were also added.
Those who liked being noticed had nothing to worry about when driving the 270R because Nismo's body kit certainly stood out. It featured a vented hood that allowed excess engine heat to escape, as well as a flashy rear wing. All 270Rs were painted black, with a white stripe down the side of the body.
