    Wheelsandmore Nissan GT-R CrankZilla - Front Angle

    Since almost 10 years Nissan drives the renowned sports car manufacturers from Zuffenhausen, Maranello and Affalterbach with their R35 GT-R in terms of longitudinal acceleration to insanity. The all-wheel-driven monster with its V6 bi-turbo engine passes the 100 km/h border in less than 3 seconds. A dream car for the players on their gaming consoles and for acceleration junkies anyway. You can buy it like that and indulge in the mix of adrenaline and endorphins without restraint… Or are you looking for the absolute extra ordinary, an optic to melt away, mouth lock and “ear”- gasm included. Then luxury refiner Wheelsandmore from Baesweiler in Germany with their tuning program for the Nissan GTR is exactly the right expert to provide more “Wows” and “Ahhs” by riding out through the climes.

    The standard engine power of 570hp and 637Nm is upgraded at Wheelsandmore in 5 different power levels as follows:
    Stage I: Through optimized software and a F1 air filter kit Wheelsandmore generates 605hp and 700nm out of the 2017 GTR engine
    Stage 2: In combination with sports catalysts, the tuner achieves 630hp and 800Nm of torque
    Stage 3: Combined with modified exhaust system and catalyst replacement pipes the tuner measured 650hp and tight 830Nm of torque
    Stage 4: In addition to Stage3, the turbochargers are replaced, other wastegate cans and more powerful gasoline pumps were installed. With sports catalysts and adaptation of the transmission control approximately 700hp and 850Nm were measured
    Stage 5 – CrankZilla – As in Stage 4 but with catalyst replacement tubes and with the appropriate software finally 740hp and 900nm were gained.

    Of course Wheelsandmore recognized and respects the internet clips of GT-R conversions with over 1000 hp but with 740hp the GTR driving machine is tuned up to the maximum to be handled safe on the track.

    The valve flap exhaust system can optionally be ordered without catalytic converters, but handle the gas pedal very carefully when the damper is open, as the system otherwise sounds infernally loud to attract attention …

    With the F.I.W.E. wheels the unique german manufacturer of multipart forged rims presents a provocative striking symbiosis of noble, wide and yet consistent. The 3-piece rims turn on the steering axle measuring 9.5×21 inches and on the rear in proud 11.0×21 inches. 255/35/21 and 295/30/21 tires from Continental ensure the contact with the roadway. Wheelsandmore adapted the wheel center finish analogous to the advertising lettering and the brake system in a color mixture of bronze and copper and finalized the rim outer beds with a discreet noble carbon look surface. The optical appearance is rounded off by height-adjustable lowering springs from KW, which reduce the center of gravity of the racer about 30mm.

  • First Liberty Walk Nissan GTR In Vancouver

    Liberty Walk Nissan GT-R looks incredible with its massive swollen arches and extremely aggressive stance. The car is literally outrageous and includes some special features such as that mega wing mounted on the rear. The very popular Japanese tuner, Liberty Walk, did some amazing job with this Nissan supplying with a special wide body kit. The currently presented car is the first Liberty Walk GT-R to roll on the streets of Vancouver, Canada, thanks to the Europa Auto Design which officially released it.

  • Nissan Juke-R [video review]

    Autocar.co.uk has released a test review of the strange Nissan Juke-R, which is claimed to be the ultimate crossover. Practically, the car is a GT-R with different body, because everything from the sports car is taken and put in the Juke.

    The Juke-R is powered by a twin-turbo 3.8 liter V6 with 485HP (357 kW) at 6400RM and 588Nm (434 lb-ft) at 3200RPM. The engine is mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox enabling the car to accelerate to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and having a top speed of 258 km/h (160 mph).

    There is no doubt, that the Juke-R is very interesting, fun and spectacular, but all in all it is a marketing trick aiming to boost Nissan’s sales.

    The car have been developed by Nissan and are being built by leading motorsports outfit RML with input from Nissan Technology Centre for Europe (NTC-E).

    The ultimate crossover also features sport suspension, huge wheels and performance brake system. The interior is also coming from GT-R. You’ll see the same dashboard, dials, steering wheel and many more.

  • Nissan GT-R – The Hulk hits 350 km/h [HD video]

    Nissan GT-R is one of the best drag racing vehicles currently available on the market. It’s time attack qualities are also astonishing, but almost nothing can compete versus a tuned GT-R. Here, we have one of the fastest GT-Rs in the world – The Hulk. It is a creation of the United Kingdom’s tuning company Severn Valley Motorsport.

    The Hulk has completely rebuilt engine with more than 1250HP (932 kW) and still it is a street legal car. The displacement of the twin-turbocharged V6 growth to 4.2 liters. It also gets two enormous GTX GT35 Garrett turbochargers, Radec Full race front mounted Intercooler, 1600 ID Injectors and many more upgrades.

    The gearbox is also different as well as the chassis, the electronics, the exterior boasts a complete wide-body kit, a set of new wheels and tires and last, but not least – restyled interior.

    You can check all upgrades in the list below, but until then see how easy the Hulk hits over 350 km/h (218 mph). The data was recorded by GPS data acquisition system VBOX by Racelogic, which is completely precise.

  • Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa vs GSX R-1000 vs Nissan GT-R [HD video]

    Dragtimesinfo has released another nice video, but this time two tuned bikes met each other at the race track.

    The first one is Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa Turbo K3 with 270HP and the second Suzuki GSX-R1000 Stage 2 with 200HP. The Hayabusa is considered to be the fastest production bike not long ago, but turbocharging its engine is just insane. Logically, it wins the start against the 1000cc bike by far.  The rider of the Hayabusa had a reaction time of 0.014 seconds and 60ft for 2.084 seconds meaning a lot of wheel spin, because of all that power. However, he crossed the finish line at the 1 mile mark with 306.11 km/h and a time of 25.898 seconds (without reaction).

    In the second start you will see the less powerful motorcycle – the GSX-R1000 Stage 2 versus a highly tuned Nissan GT-R MK.1 Ecutek Stage 2 with 600HP. Although, the Nissan has triple much power than the bike, it weighs eight time more, so the result is inevitable. The bike crosses the finish four seconds ahead of the car.

    Check out the amazing reaction of the Hayabusa driver in the video below.

  • Nissan Juke-R – 0 to 100 kmh in 3.7 seconds

    Nissan has officially confirmed the performance figures for Juke-R. The ultimate crossover has been developed by Nissan and built by leading motorsports outfit RML with advice from Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTC-E).

    Juke-R is powered by a 3.8-litre V6 twin turbo engine with 480BHP (353 kW) and 588Nm (434 lb-ft). From 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 257 km/h (160 mph). Not bad performance for a compact crossover.

    The vehicle also features big 20-inch RAYS forged alloy wheels fitted with low-profile performance tires. Suspension from Nissan GT-R as well as an FIA-specification roll cage and unique split rear wing.

    The interior boasts OMP race seats, all the controls and instruments from GT-R and a 7” touch-screen display is in the centre of the dashboar.

    During the 22 week project, Nissan ‘opened the doors’ on the creation of Juke-R, documenting the development story from day 1 and releasing a series of 10 videos on You Tube and via the Nissan Juke Facebook page – a series which has achieved over 2.2 million views in just 10 weeks.

    Today marks the release of the wrap-up video bringing together the full development story, showing the car in all its dynamic glory. The next installments are scheduled for January when the Nissan Juke-R hits the road.

  • 2012 Nissan GT-R Track Pack

    The new GT-R will be even more faster with the special “Track Pack” offering some very nice goodies. Furthermore, the 2012 Nissan GT-R Track Pack is fully road legal.

    The exterior modifications includes a new lightweight six-spoke RAYS alloy wheels with gloss black painted centres. The brakes receive additional cooling by ducts built into the front bumper reducing the operating temperature of the front brake discs by as much as 100 degrees during track use. Similar ducts, hidden behind the rear wheels, channel cooling air over the rear discs. With improved stopping performance, the GT-R Track Pack is even more brutal, when it is driven hard.

    The suspension is also improved by revising the spring rates for optimal track use. The dampers are adjustable to offer more comfort when the car is being used on the road.

    The interior boasts nice Recaro front seats trimmed with blue bolsters and an innovative high grip material. The rear seats have been removed to save weight. A “Track Pack” emblem on the centre console identifies this model as a special GT-R.

    The brilliant 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 is not improved, because it already has 550PS (404 kW) at 6400RPM and 652Nm (483 lb-ft) at just 3200RPM, which is enough to stop the clock at 2.8 seconds from stand still to 100 km/h.

    The Track Pack is priced at £10 000, which means that 2012 Nissan GT-R Track pack has a price tag of £84 450. The model is already available to order in 21 Nissan High Performance Centres around the UK as the first deliveries are expected in March, next year.

  • 2012 Nissan GT-R

    Here is a little, but important lesson: How to improve perfection? It is not so simply, because firstly you need 2011 Nissan GT-R, then you’ll have to add some more horsepower and torque, after that you have to set-up the chassis and transmission, and finally to add some more comfort inside the vehicle. The result is 2012 MY GT-R.

    2012 Nissan GT-R is powered by the famous 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, which now delivers 550PS (404 kW) at 6400RPM and 652Nm (483 lb-ft) at just 3200RPM.

    Engine response and torque at mid and low-speeds, and power at high revolutions, has been significantly improved, mainly due to:

    • Improved intake efficiency
    • Better air flow resistance, which has been reduced by the addition of an intake manifold fitted to the head of each unit and the use of resin in the enlarged air intake duct for the intercooler.
    • Improved exhaust emissions efficiency and enhanced control.
    • Reduced air flow resistance thanks to a more compact under floor catalyser which improves emissions efficiency and reduces weight.
    • Improved exhaust valve cooling performance by the adoption of a newly-designed metallic sodium-filled valve. At the same time, valve control timing, the air mixture ratio and ignition timing have been improved.

    The gearbox received better shift fork arm and a firmer fixing bearing for the flywheel housing. A special differential oil R35 COMPETITION Type 2189E (75W140), which was developed for competition is now used in every version of GT-R.

    The body has also received some modifications – reinforcing of certain areas and improved inter-vehicle detection capability. This was achieved by changes in the positioning of the sensor and more rigid, highly-damped vehicle body, and by adding a more accurate acceleration sensor in areas with higher sensitivity in the vibration testing of each vehicle body.

    More power needs better suspension with improved responsiveness, smoothness and steering feel, as well as enhanced cornering stability and riding comfort.

    Inside, 2012 GT-R has blue lighting inside the tachometer ring to match the shift position indicator light, Rear View Camera device (standard) and Bose sound system woofers.

    With the latest 2012MY version, the legend that is the Nissan GT-R continues to evolve.

  • World’s Greatest Drag Race Car – 2012 Nissan GT-R

    To begin with some data: ¼ mle – 11.2 seconds @ 121.8mph (196 km/h). Yep! This is 2012 Nissan GT-R or the latest “Godzilla”.  There is nothing faster on the streets that you can buy for less than $90 000 or twice as much. The car is just unbelievable and a true masterpiece.

    The engine is so brutal and powerful, that it manages to catapult the 1750kg body of  GT-R to 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds – dead. Of course, the launch control and a brilliant 4×4 system help a lot, but everything is thanks to a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 with 530PS (390 kW) at 6400RPM and 612Nm (451 lb-ft) of torque between 3200 and 6200RPM. The car has a drag coefficient of 0.26.  The top speed is somewhere over 313km/h (195 mph).

    The thing that makes 2012 GT-R unique is that it is extremely easy to drive. You just have to put the right settings for suspension and traction control and take off.

    The double-clutch gearbox changes immediately and the engine power just don’t have an end. It pulls so hard on every gear that you’ll have to take a deep breath before setting a drag time.

    Too see how fast really is Nissan GT-R, you have to watch the video. Just a little clue – the GT-R is faster than the incredible Ferrari 458 Italia, which is 400kg lighter and have 40PS more than the Nissan.
