Today we are wrapping up one of our client’s daily-driven, yet weekend tracked GT-R’s. What started out as an occasional track day here and there, has turned into a monthly routine for him. After pushing the car fairly hard on mostly stock suspension we decided that some upgraded coilovers from JRZ would be in order. As developed during our track and street testing last year, our JRZ RS Pro Silent Edition Coilovers use a 750lb front and 600lb rear spring rate and combine the best features of a street and race system. These are the same coilovers that Sharif turned some low 1:30′s at Road Atlanta in full weight street GT-R’s. It uses the same motorsports pro body as the race shock, while retaining the OEM top mount. This results in superb on-track handling, while keeping the system very quiet and compliant on the street with no noises or rattles. We also installed a set of Dodson Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms for much needed increased negative camber up front. This will give us a full range of adjustments of both shocks, bars, and alignment for maximum performance. In addition to the suspension based modifications a set of Volk G2 wheels in 20×10 +30 and 20×11 +15 in matte black finish were added to the mix with Toyo R888 285/35/20 and 315/30/20 to give this GT-R some extra grip when needed. The owner is flying in Thursday night for some track work at Road Atlanta on Friday. For a mostly stock looking car, this is one very fast track package. we will report back this weekend with laptimes, some interesting data acquisition results, and other feedback from both Sharif and the customer.

Matte Black GT-R

Today one of our previous customers came in from some upgrade and maintenance work on his daily driven GT-R. Late last year, we installed a CBRD Y-Pipe and Cobb AP so Sharif could work his magic on the dyno. In the interim, the car has seen a handful of weekend track days and endured the rigors of 21K street miles. This GT-R has been superbly repainted in a menacing matte black finish. By far, this is the nicest matte black finish I’ve seen on any car.

After measuring the OEM rotors, we were right at the service limit, so we are installing a set of AP Racing J-Hook Rotors, and dual purpose Endless MX72 Brake pads along with GFB Blow off valves. I have a feeling this car will be back very shortly.

This week we had a customer drop his Nissan Titian off to us for some bolt-on’s, suspension work and a Forged Performance Dyno Tune. We installed:

• K&N Intake
• JBA Headers
• Magnaflow Exhaust
• Springtech 2/5 inch Lowering Kit
• Custom Forged Performance ECU Tune

After the intake, headers and exhaust was installed Sharif was able to obtain another 20whp and 73lbft from just a proper tune! The end result was 289whp and 350wtq!
