I met Jack and his wife, Sara about 3 months ago as she was shopping fora Birthday surprise for him. While the car was at the local Nissan dealership for a faux “TSB” campaign, the car emerged with a set of Advan GT’s and Michelin PSS tires. Then a few weeks later, Jack decided to add some standard power adders and a tune to his GT-R. Shortly after that, Jack decided to drop the car off over the Thanksgiving weekend for a much larger upgrade in power. With parts staged and ready to go, the team jumped on his car and installed the following. I promised Jack that he’d have his car back in time for Christmas and we exceeded that goal.
Power Adders:
AMS Alpha 9 Turbo Upgrade
AMS Catless Downpipes
AMS Y-Pipe
AMS Front Mount Intercooler
FP 3 Inch Intake
ID 1000 Injectors
Aeromotive Stealth Twin Pumps
Cobb XLE BOV’s
AMS Radiator Overflow Tank
Cobb AP with TCM Control
FP Dyno Tune: 691whp/610trq at 20psi 93 Octane
Handling Adders:
Advan GT Machining Hyper Black: 20X10 +35 20X12 +20
Michelin Pilot Super Sport: 285/35/20 XL ** 335/30/20 XL
Forged Performance Sway Bars and End Links
We’ve done 2 of these Alpha 9′s in the past month and their custom billet wheel, larger compressor cover, and Forge Actuator all come together really nicely. Very responsive, and easily making power all the way to redline…even with 93 octane fuel. Jack has plans to build the engine next year and crank these up quite a bit more. Saturday afternoon, I loaded Jack’s car back up and made the drive to Memphis to personally deliver the car. The smile on Jack’s face…and breakfast…were enough to make it all worth the 6 hour drive. 
See you both next year.

Earlier this month, we gave the GT-R community a sneak peak at the improvements made to the Alcon rotor offering and we are excited to share these final details with you.
“I wanted to give everyone a first look at the new extreme duty racing front rotors from Alcon. As many of you know, Forged and Alcon have been working closely over the past couple of months to launch the most durable and highest performing rotor upgrades to the GT-R community. During the busy season, we track our GT-R’s almost on a weekly basis so using the most durable and effective braking components is a big priority to us. A formal announcement is forthcoming, but wanted to show you all the difference between the Alcon street rotor and the Alcon race rotor. Those that track their car regularly are going to enjoy these new thicker castings, with smaller air gap. I did 2 hours of track testing this weekend with them, and came away very impressed. These race grade thicker and heavier castings will result in greater longevity and rotor durability, as well as a higher capacity to absorb heat. And best of all, pricing remains the same for the new race casting. We have these products in stock and they are also available through any Alcon dealer, including AMS, Kaizen Tuning, SP Engineering, Jotech, Speed for Sale, and Vivid Racing”
In addition to the line of replacement rotors and larger rotor upgrades, we continue to offer the Super Kit Big Brake kit, available with either a fully floating race rotor, or a more street friendly semi-floating rotor. The Alcon Carbon CCX Kits are also in stock and ready to ship. Call your Alcon dealer for further details.
