2009 Nissan GT-R Premium 725 WHP, Alpha 9, Motec M-1, Forged Performance Stage II Trans Upgrade
This GT-R has several track records at Watkins Glen 2:09, Millville, NJ Lightning ( 1:03;48 ), VIR, Mt.
Tremblance ( 1:39 ), COTA, TX (2:24:20), etc. Like everyone else I had to suffer through a long list of OEM short
comings that make this car poorly suited for a road course event longer then 15 mins in the summer. GT-R currently
fitted with taller wing pylons proven to be necessary with wind tunnel tests and test driving at the track, lower
pylons are available if buyer request.
In order to correct these problems one at a time and to enjoy the true race purebred buried deep inside
beneath all the factory defects, I have upgraded this car with the following systems / parts. For 2 years non stop
I have poured my heart, soul, wallet and engineering experience into solving every single problem that has limited
the GT-R from being the truly great car that it was designed to be. How the factory every thought that 265 F engine
coolant was going to adequately cool 285 F trans oil in a liquid to liquid heat exchanger the size of a soup can is
a mystery. But, by adding the extra Setrab cores, fans, pumps, filters to the trans oil, Front and Rear diff oil,
engine oil, systems even during the most brutal summer race this is the ONLY GT-R that will never red line the
trans oil, cook the diff oil, or worse yet - drop into LIMP MODE doing 180 MPH on the back straight at Watkins
Glen, or the bowl at Pocono !!!
My attention to detail has been meticulous because I am an FAA Aircraft Mechanic and have built and restored
many aircraft both prop and turbine and done 6 car projects as well. So the car is flawless in every respect and it
still retains a 110% premium quality look interior ( can reinstall the rear seat cushions if you want ), exterior
and under the hood. The car is absolutely 100% street legal & currently registered and inspected in PA. A very
serious contender for trophies at all shows and track events. I did not give into the idea that because I was
building a racer that I could justify the use of sheet metal and pop rivets. Look at the detail for the rebound
adjusters on the JRZ shocks - custom machined extensions - everyone else has to leave the rear storage deck out to
get to the knob. Also look at the JRZ canister installations - well engineered and easy to get to - open the hood
or trunk and instant access. Even the factory and Stillen suggest putting the front canisters in the battery &
power steering compartments - SICK !!! - not in this car.
Check out the overhead aviation type switch panel - not a panel cut into the dash with a razor knife and caulk like
some owners have done. This switch panel is where the overhead sunglass case was and I had to temporarily remove
the dash, all the A pillar trim, airbags, head liner to install all the fused wiring for this sub-panel with a
Master, Front Diff Pump, Rear Diff pump, Trans oil pump, Fans, Aux. fuel transfer pump switch from the 18 gallon
race fuel cell in the trunk, cool shirt pump, and Traqmate GPS Data Acquisition system master. Every switch has a
unique LED indicator light on it so you can easily see what you have turned on while doing 170 MPH on the front
straight at the Glen. That one switch panel speaks volumes as to the detail that has gone into all the work on this
car.
I have over $ 120 K invest in just PARTS and SUB Contracts, not including my 2,000 man-hours for engineering, fab,
and install in the car beyond the current market value.

AMS price: $24999.95 UNINSTALLED - JUST FOR PARTS
AMS Alpha 9 Package Includes the items below PLUS it was factory Installed by AMS the designers of the System -
believe me YOU DO NOT - NOT - want to do the dual Bosch 44 fuel pump install yourself - by necessity it is 8 #'s in
a 5 # bag all working through a 6" opening in the right saddle tank - after you dump 100% of all the fuel in both
tanks. You have to clock each worm clamp so in its final position the worm screw and tail don't fowl something else
- also have to trim all hose clamp bands to precise lengths so there isn't any excess - it's insane - but worth it
once you get on the dyno and see those 800 ++ ponies. I had them dial back the tune to protect the internals - and
at 725 -750 HP you are very safe with the stock engine.

Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
Nissan's Ghosn highest paid exec in Japan again, at $10M per year
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn is on track to be the highest-paid executive in Japan for the fourth time in five years. Ghosn's salary and bonuses last year rang the register to the tune of $9.8 million (995 million yen), and when stock dividends are added to the equation, the exec's total pay crested a billion yen. That represents a 0.7-percent increase over his pay from the previous year. Ghosn earned an additional $3.1 million as CEO of Renault.
According to Bloomberg, Ghosn's compensation was announced at a shareholder's meeting in Japan, prompting an explanation from the CEO. "I understand the sensitivity of the issue," Ghosn said. "Being in Japan should not be a handicap to attract talent. We need the best minds, we need the best talents."
Few would argue with that assessment, we'd guess, but it doesn't answer the question of whether Ghosn is the most talented CEO in Japan. Akio Toyoda, head of Toyota in Japan, earned 230 yen (though, as a large shareholder in Toyota, Toyoda's dividend payments bring him closer to Ghosn) in compensation while steering his automaker to a profit that was five times higher than Nissan's. Honda President Takanobu Ito was paid the comparatively small sum of 150 million yen last year.
Infiniti ESQ is a Chinese Nissan Juke Nismo
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Take a Nissan Juke Nismo, replace all of its suede and Alcantara interior with leather and cross-stitching, replace all of its badging with the words "Infiniti ESQ," and boom! You've got a made-for-China crossover aimed at "the new millennials." Infiniti teased the coming of the ESQ last month, and today, we're treated to pictures taking it in from various toothsome angles.
Whippersnappers with anywhere from 200,000 yuan ($33,507 USD) to 300,000 yuan to spend will get the same 197 horsepower, 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, sport-tuned CVT and all-wheel drive that we know in the Juke Nismo. We haven't tracked down any other official information about it yet, but potential buyers will get their first look at it during the Chengdu Motor Show that opens later this month, where it will share market-specific notes with Infiniti Q50 L.
