In case you've been lamenting the fact that your Nissan GT-R has only 480 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque in its factory configuration, COBB Tuning has announced the immediate availability of the COBB AccessTUNER Pro version 1.8.1.2 for the GT-R. This new software release allows professional Nissan GT-R tuners to create new engine calibrations using COBB’s proprietary Proportional Gain Boost Control logic.

Proportional Gain Boost Control is an RPM-dependent boost control system that offers top-level Nissan R-35 performance. This new method of boost control has been responsible for many recent impressive GT-R racing accomplishments, including a 787 wheel horsepower Time Attack racer and a slightly modified daily-driven 10 second quarter-mile weekend drag racing warrior.

This latest version of AccessTUNER Pro software now covers even more global regions with the addition of the 2009 East Asia GT-R and the 2009 JDM GT-R. COBB AccessTUNER Pro currently supports Australia, East Asia, Europe, Gulf, Japan, South Africa and United States specification vehicles, making it the only truly global OEM ECU custom tuning software available for the Nissan GT-R. Your GT-R must already be equipped with a Cobb AccessPORT to use this new software.

Cobb's press release doesn't skimp on the attitude, either: "COBB Tuning is dedicated to bringing the most comprehensive tuning solutions to Nissan GT-R tuning enthusiasts and continues to lead the way with innovative engineering, advanced OEM ECU control and global vehicle compatibility. Install a COBB AccessPORT on your Nissan GT-R and experience a whole new level of obscene performance with the push of a button," they say.

Obscene performance? We can live with that.
