The Ohio based tuning company Switzer Performance has topped their previous records with the Nissan GT-R P900. This modified Nissan GT-R now produces 900hp with an all new transmission to handle the power. Switzer previously released the Nissan GT-R P700 package that boasted around 800 horses, with 700 crank horsepower, but that wasn’t enough. Tim Switzer started off by making this custom Nissan run on E85 ethanol, but to handle these numbers, a new transmission was needed. Transmission failure was the biggest concern of this project, so the tuners hired Dodson Motorsports in New Zealand to develop the stronger transmission. After several months of development between Switzer and Dodson, they received a product that would allow them to push more than 800hp.

The guys at MotorTrend were able to get a hold of the rare Lexus LFA for a couple hours, and decided to run the quarter mile against the Nissan GT-R. Bear in mind that the Lexus LFA has a 4.8-liter V10 that produces 552 hp and 480 Nm of torque, compared to the Japanese Godzilla Nissan GTR that hold 485 hp and 434 ft-lb of torque from the factory. So the power figures aren’t very close, but check out the quarter mile race in this video. I also want to remind you that the Lexus LFA is currently priced at 400,000 USD, while the Nissan GT-R is a fraction of that at 84,060 USD. So who do you think will win the race?
Here is the new U-Connect plug and play ECU tuning upgrade from Unichip for the popular Nissan 350Z. Providing the perfect engine management solution for this sports car, since the 350Z cannot be remapped using OBD flash programming. This custom tuned Uni-Q piggy back EGU features several improvements to get the most out of the Nissan engine. So how does it work? The plug and play unit intercepts the factory sensor signals found on the Nissan 350Z, allowing the fuel and ignition to be remapped to a higher control and performance.
The tuners at Cobra N+ have released a custom carbon fiber sports kit for the Nissan 370Z Roadster to make it more appealing. Included in the aero kit is a new front spoiler and rear diffuser to be attached to the factory bumpers. The modified diffuser has dual cutouts for the aftermarket high performance exhaust system, and Cobra added carbon fiber mirror covers on the Nissan 370Z. For the wheels, they hooked it up with the popular lightweight 19-inch CN22 rims that come wrapped in racing tires.
Going green, or eco friendly with cars isn’t all that bad with your working with Cobb Tuning, who have modified this Nissan GT-R to run on E85 ethanol gas. Ethanol, or some would say corn oil, is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline which was originally developed as a bio-fuel or flex fuel. However, E85 has become an alternative fuel choice for car tuning enthusiasts seeking large performance gains from a relatively inexpensive modification. This new ethanol E85 mix carries a 105 octane rating, and we all know what that means, more octane more power. Cobb Tuning has done just that with this new Nissan GT-R, to see how much extra power they could pull on the dyno.
