The prestigious Austria-based tuning company Koenigseder has released a new kit for the Nissan GTR. Back in 2007, Nissan launched the highly anticipated Godzilla GT-R with a twin-turbo engine producing 480 horsepower. Since then, tuners have raised the standards and half of them have nearly doubled the performance figures. The Nissan GTR has received all the hype it deserves so far, and Koenigseder decided to add their touch to what can be considered the sports car of the decade in terms of price and performance. First, the tuning firm painted the exterior in their favorite bright orange color, which is common to see with the other projects they take on. Next was the all new Nissan GTR aerodynamic kit with a moderate design.

The tuners from Japo Motorsport GmbH released their latest tuning project on the Nissan Skyline R34 GTR. For the styling upgrades the Nissan Skyline received a new aero kit consisting of a new front apron, front mudguards, a larger rear wheel housing, and an ARC rear diffuser. Performance upgrades were next, but I’ll save that for later while I move to the interior. Inside the Skyline R34 GTR, Japo refined the leather with Alcantara upholstery, added a new Sparco steering wheel, and new gauges all around. Japo Motorsport announced that they will only build 20 units of the unique Nissan GTR, with each starting from 89,900 Euros, and taking 3 to 4 months to complete the build.

Here is something you wouldn’t expect to see this soon, a Nissan GT-R R34 with a new GT-R R35 front end swapped. It’s surprising that these tuners were able to get a hold of a R35 front fascia, but then decided to swap out the stock R34 front for a new look. The Nissan wide body kit appears to have an unfinished rear end, but is most likely the first of its kind in the world of tuning cars. In my opinion the GTR R34 front end from Japan looks better than these new Nissan GTR R35 models, but what do you think? Was all this custom work worth it?

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 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.
