Traditionally one of my favourite Garage Defend parts were their super high quality carbon radiator shrouds. Pretty much nothing fits like a Garage Defend GT Cooling panel on an legacy GT-R. Plenty of aluminium ones to choose from sure but carbon ones are rare and chinese copies have never worked at all.
Wrapping around the front of the engine bay there’s currently no other thing just like it, while the functionality may be questionable it sure makes a statement.
When we featured the Pro Stock Racing R35 GT-R the other day you’ll remember we mentioned their Ohlins full adjustable PSR spec suspension kit for Nissan R35 GT-R. Thanks to GTR-World we now have the specifications of this suspension.
The kit features 14 kg/mm front and 10 kg/mm rear spring rates, height and damper adjustability and quality backed by the Ohlins name. PSR have developed this suspension with the help of D1 driver Nobuteru “NOB” Taniguchi. This suspension should be quite streetable with the ability to handle some fast mountain roads and some light circuit work.
Price for this kit is 461,580 yen.
More circuit focused suspension (PSR Ohlins SPL) is in the works but no word on details or pricing yet.
Before the Nissan GT-R had made it’s way to US shores many magazines got the first bite of the apple with a few hours to days to spend with the pre-production US specification cars. The numbers these GT-Rs churned out were nothing short of amazing and caused much debate around the net. The conclusions on many internet communities drawn by sceptics were that these cars had to be “ringers” and that the production models would not meet expectations.
Car & Driver magazine have now got hold of a final production US specification GT-R and put it through the same tests. And guess the result?
As of course our regular readers know by now the COBB TuningAccessPORT is available to buy right now. Lots of us want to know what gains can be made. Thanks to The Real JDM blog here’s what the stage 1 and stage 2 maps will net :
Stage 1 (standard, or standard w/ cat back exhaust):
91 Octane Fuel (US) - +55 hp and +60 lb/ft torque
93 Octane Fuel (US) - +63 hp and +70 lb/ft torque
Stage 2 (hi-flow cats or no cats and cat back exhaust):
The company you keep in many ways defines you. For all of my business endeavors I have always only wanted to work with the best. This was my motto since I started Bulletproof Automotive back in March 2000. Since then I’ve become synonymous with the best in Japanese tuning. I’m very proud of being associated with the best names, and it didn’t happen by accident…it happened by careful selection.
It took me 8 years to find a US based company which I felt exuded the talent, engineering ability and value of the Japanese brands which I represent. I finally found a US company up to my JDM ideals. Cobb Tuning and I forged a partnership recently within the GT-R community to distribute their products. I knew all along that Cobb’s GT-R products, especially their accessPORT were going to blow people away. When I announced within my office that we were going to be a Cobb distributor and would be heavily stocking their GT-R parts, people thought I was nuts…COBB ISNT JDM they said…
Well, I’m proud to say I picked another winner. And this time we get to enjoy a little national pride of supporting the USA as well! Not only are our customers already giving rave review on the Cobb GT-R accessPORT, now I have real #s to broadcast about the results of this product on a US Spec car. Prepare to be dazzled at what $995 can give you with your GT-R!
Stage 1 is for a stock vehicle or a vehicle with just a cat-back exhaust.Stage 2 is for a vehicle with high flow cats or cat delete and cat-back exhaust.Must use stock intake.
