One of the many safety features on the very fast Nissan GT-R is a speed limiter that would only switch off when a GPS link messaged back to the home office saying that the car was within the safe bounds of a race track. On normal roads the sophisticatedly encrypted ECU would only allow GT-R owners to play at speeds up to 112 mph.
All that is said to be changing however, as U.S.-based company COBB Tuning has said that it has cracked the ECU, and is in the process of in-house testing. Along with allowing the untethered GT-R to reach its fully mad top-end of 193 mph (claimed), cracking the Nissan computer should also allow COBB to tinker with fuel-mapping and boost pressure controls.
COBB has also been busy working with Nissan’s 350Z and Infiniti G37; the company plans to have aftermarket exhaust systems, suspension mods, and more electronic trickery available soon for those cars as well.

This news just hit the web this morning, and while it has no direct relationship to cars, it does however fit into the gadget and technology area. Being a blackberry evangelist myself (still have the 7250 for another couple weeks) I feel the urge to promote the sickest of smartphones built by a Canadian company Research in Motion.
The first thought on my minds when I saw the BlackBerry 9000 was, “that’s it?” RIM’s been taking on increasingly sharp competition as of late — even in its traditional corporate strongholds — and we’d expected and hoped to see something less evolutionary and more revolutionary from these Engineers. The phone’s lines seem flow really well without losing its purpose-suited stance exuded by the 8300s, 8700s, and 8800s. The real kicker, though, might be the beautiful user interface, which has been totally revamped from the ground up; gone is the cartoonish look and feel of the current lineup, replaced with a modern, warm theme with wireframe icons and slick animations. Another big win: as Vodafone’s slide deck mentioned, the 9000 features both WiFi and HSDPA, confirmed by this particular example’s info display. Too little, too late — or is this thing a genuine threat in the marketplace this year? Check out the video of the hot new user interface in action!

While the Tonino Lamborghini Bello Bluetooth headset might turn heads, the only thing that this device has in common with the Italian supercars is the logo. What? Did you expect a snorting bull or the roar of a Lamborghini engine when you wore it? The headset, with six hours of talk time, 160 hours of standby and an operating range of 10 meters, weighing in less than 9grams is sold under the Tonino Lamborghini brand of exclusive watches and leather goods. It’s yours for $66.95 Lamborghini not included.
According to JMBDistrobution its “the most accurate Bluetooth headset available in its class, with crystal clear low frequency response and flawless echo cancellation the ‘BELLO’ headset is a step above it’s competition”.
As usual, I’m extremely skeptical

The new BMW E92 M3 V8 follows BMW’s other M engines, which is to take a small engine and develop power through high RPMs. Torque is ordinary, but the throttle and valvegear is BMW’s usual magic allowing higher RPMs. This engine needs to be wound out to make power.
