Non-spec wing, suspension, engine tune, etc - the whole shebang. It was a one-off car that was never offered (in that spec) to the public.

Looks like, according to Stillen, you can: https://blog.stillen.com/2015/08/sti...r-nismo-in-us/

'A' package has front and rear LSDs too

That's a great catch - I'd never heard of that or seen it.

Now, U.S. GT-R NISMO owners will be able to create a vehicle nearly identical to that record-setting machine for their own driveways.

Curious about what's not the same.

$72K USD for the conversion, apparently (8.2 million yen), at that time.

Apparently they also allow it on the MY17 cars as well.

N-Attack Package for the MY17 NISMO GT-R – GTROC

The new price is 9 million yen, or about $79K...
