Select Nissan dealers in the Land of the Rising Sun will reportedly be more than happy to supply you with a &#8220;2010 Model Version Up Kit.&#8221; For a little scratch, you can get a reworked set of brake calipers, an upgraded navigation system and a Spec V spoiler to help your car keep pace with the new wave of Godzillas hitting the streets.<\/p>\n<p>While the navigation system will get a software update, it will also feature new USB functionality to allow it to be compatible with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2007\/04\/28\/gear-up-with-the-nismo-spring-summer-collection\/\">NISMO<\/a> datalogging kit (sold separately). That&#8217;s cool and all, but not quite so slick as what&#8217;s going on with those stoppers. <\/p>\n<p>The original equipment calipers were dipped in a gold paint that would turn brown after a few hard laps, and featured brake pad springs that would fatigue over time. The model version up kit will provide owners with a new coat of heat-resistant gold paint, complete with a prominent Brembo logo and a tougher pad spring.<\/p>\n<p>At current exchange rates, the navi upgrade will set you back $7,335. Throw in the brakes, and you&#8217;re looking at a final tab closer to $8,669. That special carbon-fiber rear spoiler carries a price tag of $6,668, too. Oddly enough, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/nissan\/\">Nissan<\/a> will sell you the navigation update as a stand alone, but if you want those fancy calipers, you&#8217;ve got to nab the whole package.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-nissan-gt-r\/low\/\">Review: 2010 Nissan GT-R<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-nissan-gt-r\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/07\/2010gtr_review000_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-nissan-gt-r\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/07\/2010gtr_review001_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-nissan-gt-r\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/07\/2010gtr_review002_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-nissan-gt-r\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/07\/2010gtr_review003_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-nissan-gt-r\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/07\/2010gtr_review004_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gtrblog.com\/2010\/04\/03\/nissan-gt-r-2010-model-version-up-kit-offered-in-japan\/\">GTR Blog<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/05\/report-nissan-offering-2010-model-version-up-kit-to-older-jdm\/\">Report: Nissan offering 2010 &#8220;model version up&#8221; kit to older JDM GT-R owners<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:28:00 EST.
