There's a rumor whenever the magazine testers get their hands on the GTR there's always a bunch of suspicious-looking japanese folks hanging around nearby. Apparently they are controlling the boost on the car from their cellphones via bluetooth - bumping it whenever the car's on the track and lowering it while at the dyno. One of them was spotted wearing the strange "Live-Up-With-The-Hype-Crew" T-shirt.
I mean, i'm still quite sure the power is underrated. These numbers are simply mind-blowing.

How long? Well, not long
I recall the stress on the tires became noticeable right in the end of 5 laps Tsukuba race in Best Motoring when Tsuchiya faced a good amount of understeer. What else to expect from a 1740kg heavyass (even if it's perfectly engineered heavyass) that overuses it's front tires?
oh and btw,
