Transcript

Everyone's been asking where the GT R is. Well, it broke. Turns out tier transmission was leaking and was due to a tiny no ring. But in order to completely fix it, we had to pull the motor out and put some bigger turbos in, some cast exhaust manifolds, and a whole bunch more, you know, just to make sure that it runs alright.
