ARC Intercoolers for R35 GT-R Set for September Release

Posted By:  sewid @ Today, 05:14 AM


While the release date is still a couple of weeks away, we just had to post this photo up now. Damn this looks tough even without the front bar. Or maybe because there’s no front bar…



Either way ARC’s coolers are suitable for anyone looking to improve the response of the already responsive VR38. Check out our ARC intercooler category for more details on this upcoming product.

Best Motoring: October 2008 Out Now - Preview

Posted By:  sewid @ Today, 04:12 AM


Best Motoring 2008 Volume 10 is out now and what an issue it promises to be for Nissan GT-R fans! First we have a Porsche 911 GT2 vs Nissan GT-R Super Battle at Tsukuba circuit. Tsukuba is a tight short circuit, is it a match for the Porsche’s lighter weight and superior horsepower?!



Next is a circuit performance check by Tsuchiya comparing the Porsche with the GT-R and his own NSX-R. This is followed by a report from the recent Nissan driving performance meeting for new GT-R owners.



Last but not least is another Super Battle. This time AWD vs RWD with GT3RS, Ferrari F360 Modena, NSX-R challenging the GT2 and the Nissan GT-R.



This DVD is currently on sale at a discounted price of 1,500 yen off RRP so check it out. Also there’s few more still photos after the jump. Don’t forget our guide on how to use Amazon.co.jp in English which is also linked below.

Reality Check - GT-R Maintenance Costs Not So Bad

Posted By:  sewid @ Today, 12:11 AM




A lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt abounded prior to the Nissan GT-R’s US debut in July. The internet was buzzing with the rumours and gossip that servicing fees were going to be astronomical. Basic things like regular services were going to be in the high three figures?! Ouch.



The reality is that this is simply not working out to be fact. Regular readers have been following along as former Corvette Z06 owner Scott from Boston has been tracking his GT-R and giving NAGTROC readers regular updates. So after a few track outings and hours of actual track time he decided to pay a visit to his dealer for a post-circuit inspection.



The inspection itself ran to $300 and included:


  • DSG clutch pack adjustment
  • Transmission reset/relearn
  • ECU check/reset
  • Laser alignment
  • Engine balance check
  • Fluid checks


Not a bad deal considering the peace of mind after thrashing it at the track. Additional service items on top of this were also performed, you can check those out in the NAGTROC thread linked below. Suffice to say some things are still costly but overall not as bad as expected.

HKS Legamax Premium Exhaust - R35 GT-R

Posted By:  sewid @ Yesterday, 04:27 AM


One of the more creative designs for a an exhaust we’ve seen so far is this new release from HKS is a full 304 grade stainless exhaust. The main pipe section is 85mm in diameter and opens to four 119mm tips at the rear.



While this exhaust manages a huge improvement in flow, careful selection of materials and mufflers keep the noise in check managing to come in only 1dB louder than the standard exhaust.



Part number 31021-AN009, this exhaust will retail for 304,500 yen in Japan.
