Here are some shots from the Open House we held yesterday. We had some parts on display, both from our own stock and also from our suppliers Ohlins, Akrapovic and Performance Friction Brakes. Ohlins showed the first production units of their new Road & Track dampers for GT-R, which was a world premiere. Two gearboxes were on display so we could show customers the problems and solutions we offer. During the day we performed different work on some customer cars. We installed Alcon 400mm brakes, COBB Accessports, replaced a damaged oil pan and did some oil changes among other work. When it was done we served some burgers, hot dogs and cold drinks.
We´d like to thank all of our customers and suppliers that joined us on this day.

Yes, even before we´ve held the event, our Open House is a success! At the moment we have 18 cars that will participate, making this the biggest GT-R meet in Scandinavia by far! Our customers are coming all the way from Luleå in the north of Sweden down to Trelleborg in the far south. We´re really happy that so many will show up, even though many of our long time customers can´t make it.

Two companies will show their products during the day. First is Öhlins who will show the prototypes for their Road & Track coilovers for GT-R that they will start producing this summer.

Secondly it´s PEAN Sweden that will show brake upgrades and Akrapovic exhaust systems.

If you want to join the fun on Saturday, drop us a mail and tell us you´re coming.

We are proud to introduce the most advanced engine control system available for the GT-R – Syvecs S8. Here are some of the details from the press release of the ECU and also a Youtube clip that show what can be done with it. Basically you can do anything you want with it. If you´re interested in getting one for your car, drop us a mail.

SYVECS Ltd, producers of Advanced Engine Management Solutions in the UK, are
proud to announce the release of the S8 R35GTR Kit

- The world’s first stand-alone Engine Management Solution for the Nissan R35GTR
Over the last 12 months SYVECS has been working hard to develop a completely new
product for the tuning of the Nissan R35GTR.

Around the world, as the limits of the VR38DETT are pushed further and further, the
last hurdle to jump has always been the OEM ECU. Now free of the restrictions that
re-flashing of the stock ECU imposes, tuners can now use the SYVECS EMS to go
further, push harder and take advantage of the superior control, Motorsport
developed strategies and full data logging that it offers.

The advanced engine management, together with a full software suite, offers
unbeatable flexibility and protection to all tuning levels, safeguarding your
investment, while maximising performance.

The SYVECS S8 R35GTR kit is a stand-alone unit enabling the complete removal of the
OEM ECU.

The new unit enables live adjustment of every aspect of the engine’s calibration,
while also offering the ability to control the TCM Module for adjustment of gear shift
points, clutch clamping pressures, torque reduction, and much, much more!
Browse through the feature list, and contact SYVECS to learn how the S8 R35GTR kit
can push your vehicle to new levels of performance.

Mr R picked up his brand new 2011 GT-R just a couple of weeks ago. He´s already covered over 6000kms in it and enjoyed every minute. Now he´s at 23GTR.se to get a better sound in the car. He choose to have a HKS Legamax midpipe and catback installed. With the midpipe without silencer, the car now sounds as it should have from the factory. Mr R is very happy and so are we. If you want a new exhaust on your car, don´t hesitate to get in touch. Below is what it looked like on a very rainy day.

Yes, Mr. K is back for more upgrades. Since he did 15 trackdays last year, the front brake discs couldn´t take it any more. The OEM discs are prone to crack so we replaced them with some 400mm Alcon discs instead. We replaced the brake pads before so now Mr. K should be able to cut his lap times a bit. While the car was here we also installed some carbon goodies from Zele Performance. The sideskirts, fender vents and bonnet scoops were replaced. It really looks good with the blue colour of the car. As usual, if you want something done, get in touch.

Mr M is a long time customer of 23GTR.se. This time he wanted to make the car even faster on track. Therefore we´ve replaced the swaybars, the front upper suspension arms and added some more power. We swapped out the OEM downpipes and midpipe to free up some flow for the tune. We choose a HKS Legamax resonated midpipe to still keep the noise level in check. Interior wise we installed a carbon bucket seat and Takata 4 point harnesses for both the driver and passenger. Mr M also wanted to upgrade the looks of the car so we installed a set of Zele sideskirts. After a service and a tune he´s ready to hit the tracks, beginning at the Nurburgring in April. Below are some pics of the Whiteline swaybars, the Dodson Motorsport front upper arms and some of the other parts we installed. If you want some work done to your GT-R, get in touch.

As most GT-R owners are aware by now, the gearbox is the weakest link in the car. And as you´ve seen before, we´ve done a lot of different work on these boxes by now. Here are a few more examples of the problems we´ve seen, and the solutions we´ve used.

The first pic shows a broken synchro ring on the left, a fully working OEM ring in the middle and an upgraded one from Dodson Motorsport on the right. What you need to look for on the left one are the missing stop teeth. That´s the weak part on these rings and you can also see the difference in design on the Dodson ring.

The next three pictures show what it looks like when a circlip comes loose. You can see the damaged shaft, the amount of metal debris on the magnets and the loose circlip that was found in the box. This is not uncommon so we highly recommend replacing the circlips if you do any gearbox work. We recommend it even if you´re not running high power in your GT-R. These failures were on cars that ran maximum stage 1 tuning.

This video was posted today on the Drive network. Matt Farah drives the Switzer E900 GT-R. The car looks bone stock on the outside but will outrun a Bugatti Veyron on the quarter mile. See what Matt thought about it and if you feel the itch and want one yourself, drop us a mail.

Here are more pics of some of the gearbox work we´ve done. This time it´s a FWD clutch housing that´s broken. To repair it, we use the upgraded Dodson housing which is heavy duty compared to the OEM. There is also a pic that shows the input shaft to the FWD clutch. The clutches have burnt and stuck to each other. That caused the shaft to twist and then the housing broke. The last a pic shows the difference between an OEM broken clutch basket and a new Dodson one. You can clearly see the difference in material thickness.

As we´ve said many times before, we do EVERYTHING on GT-R´s. During the autumn and winter, we´ve been busy with gearbox upgrades and repairs. We´ve replaced oil pressure sensors, clutches, clutch baskets, gears etc. We´ve also cleaned solenoids, gear actuators and so on. Here are a few pictures to illustrate this. If you want to get a stronger box that won´t let you loose any sleep at night, get in touch.

We´ve just had a visit from Glenn from Dodson Motorsport. He´s given us some training on the gearboxes so now we´re authorized Pro Dealer for Dodson Motorsport! The only one in Scandinavia! If you want to make your GR6 box stronger, perform better or just make an overhaul, don´t hesitate to get in touch with us. There´s tons of stuff that can be done to make the box work better, last longer and run smoother.

It´s been a looong wait but we finally got our set of Ohlins coilovers for the democar. As far as we know, it´s the first set outside of Japan. We installed them last week and tested them last Saturday at a track event here in Sweden. The results were outstanding. We ran fastest in our class (R-tires and slicks with a max size of 10.5″/26″) and were almost as fast as a Corvette C6 on slicks with roughly 600bhp. The next test will be more valuable since we´ll run the same track as we´ve done before so we can compare lap times. Below are a few pictures of the shocks and also of what the democar looks like at the moment. As always, if you want something for your GT-R, just get in touch and we´ll make it faster, lighter or just look better.

All the sales back in January had to turn into physical work at some point. Last week some of the cars were gathered so we didn´t want to miss the opportunity to take a couple of pictures. Even though you can´t see it in the pictures, this is a good example of all the different work we do. It ranges from a simple stage 1 tune with exhaust and COBB Accessport through the mighty P800 Package from Switzer to gearbox upgrades and repairs aswell as brake upgrades. Simply put, we do everything with these cars. If you want something done to your GT-R, don´t hesitate to get in touch with us. Thanks to our customer Erik who took the pictures.

As we wrote in the last post, we sold two P800 packages in January. One is aready installed and the other one will be done during April. As you can see in the pics below, the first car also got a new set of pistons and rods. In this car we used Mahle pistons and Carillo rods. The detail and quality of both these parts are extremely high. As usual when a P800 is installed, there´s also a cooling package to keep the temps in check. The radiator and intercoolers are as big as possibly can fit into the car. We also installed a set of AP Racing brake discs in the front.

If you also want your GT-R to get some better punch, just get in touch.

We´re VERY proud to announce that we did an all time high in January with no less than two P800 orders along with all the other parts sold! This clearly shows that our customers value the work we´re doing.

Below is a picture of the status as it was in January in the workshop. The red car got a new set of pistons and rods aswell as a new set of turbos. It will be running E85 and the goal is to have somewhere in the region of 800-900hp. The silver car is having a problem with the transmission and the black one was an insurance job. Another car that´s not in this pic is getting a Switzer P800 installed. More on that in a later post. You might ask yourself what´s new about our red democar? It´s still in the workshop as you can see, but since we have so much work with customer cars, there are no news to report about it. More info on that car in a while, so check back.

We managed to get our hands on a set of VERY exclusive wheels. They´ve only made 50 sets worldwide and we´ve got set #28. If you want them, just get in touch. Here are some pics of these beauties.

Fredrik is a long time customer of ours. We worked and serviced his old GT-R last year. This year, he bought a new EDM GT-R and he soon turned to us to get some work done. We installed a set of Zele Performance carbon side skirts, a Harman Motive midpipe and also supplied a set of AP Racing J-hook brake discs and Carbotech pads. Here are two pics of the result:

We got an invitation from Gustav that runs GTBOARD, to participate in the latest GTBOARD event. Since we tried it last year when the democar was standard we thought we´d give it a go now that we got it upgraded. Last year we met a Koenigsegg CCR and didn´t stand a chance. This year the result was a bit better. See for yourself in the video below. And remember: If you want your GT-R to go faster, we are specialized in doing just that, so get in touch!

23GTR.se vs Koenigsegg:

Both our democar and a few customer cars have been fitted with a HKS Legamax exhaust from the downpipes and back. This includes a muffled midpipe and a catback system. We choose to use the Legamax due to the low noice level. There´s a 95dB noice limit on Swedish tracks so we needed a quiet exhaust. Check out the pics and get in touch with us if you want an exhaust for your GT-R. We sell ALL brands on the market, not just HKS.

We´ve done some work on Thomas old GT-R but this year he bought a brand new EDM car and he turned to us again to get some work done. We started by installing a Takata harness and moved on with an Akrapovic titanium exhaust. The quality of this exhaust is excellent and the carbon tips is the icing on the cake! If you also want an Akrapovic exhaust or some other parts, get in touch with us.

APP/23GTR.se is proud to announce that we have started a cooperation with Switzer Performance Innovation from the US. We´ll sell their complete lineup of parts and we´re also installing a P800 PKG in our demo GT-R at the moment. The car is almost finished and we can´t wait to see what this season will bring.

See the outstanding performance in the clip below where Oleg from Russia drives his P800 kited GT-R against a Hayabusa. If you´re interested in a Switzer package for your GT-R, just contact us and we´ll make sure you´ll be the fastest GT-R around.

Switzer P800 vs Hayabusa

Our good friends over at GTC have finally released their long awaited GTC Titan exhausts. There´s two versions, the Street Performer and the Race Edition. The Street Performer is made of 80mm pipe with resonators, finished off by four 125mm tips. Sound level is 98dB and weight is 6,4kg. The Race Edition is made of 90mm pipe without resonators and finished with 125mm vented tips. Sound level is 100dB and the weight is 6kg. All exhausts are made in the UK and as you can see from the pics, the welds are very nice. As always, contact us to get your hands on one of these beauties.

Password JDM has been working hard to produce a set of wider front fenders for the GT-R. The thought behind them is to be able to fit the 315 wide Toyo R888 tires also up front to counter the understeer the GT-R suffers from on track. Below are a few pics of the R&D that went into producing these fenders. The finished products are 38mm wider than standard. As always, if you want a set of these just send us an email.

Our friends at Harman Motive have just released a couple of new products. First up is their new hard pipe kit. This kit has a larger diameter than the stock hoses and won´t flex either. Check out the dynosheet which shows a nice increase in power and torque by just changing to the Harman hard pipe kit.

Next up is the Harman Motive downpipes. These eliminate the two front catalysts and open up the exhaust directly after the turbos. This completes the front part of the exhaust together with their previously released midpipe. As always, if you want to order these parts, just drop us an email.

We´re happy to announce that we finally have the COBB Accessport in stock.

The price is 10.495SEK incl. shipping and Swedish VAT. Contact us to place your order.

Willall Racing in Australia have developed a number of products for the GT-R, aimed at lowering the high oil temperatures that owners have seen when using the GT-R on track. Oil analysis of the OEM transmission oil shows a lot of wear of the gears in the transmission. The Willall Racing oil stops this wear and helps your transmission stay healthy longer. For those that run an aftermarket exhaust, Willall has developed a front mounted transmission cooler as a no cost option. Here are a few pics of the Willall Racing products:

We are eagerly waiting for the Euro version of the highly recommended COBB Accessport. We´ve been told by COBB Tuning that it´s very soon ready for release. Here are a few pics of the newer package for the Accessport that they developed earlier this year. As always, contact us if you want to secure one of the first Accessports when they arrive.

Our friends over at GTC have developed a line of exhaust parts made of Titanium. These are of very high quality and the price is a lot lower than other titanium exhausts that comes from Japan. Check out the pics and don´t hesitate to contact us if you want to order.

These are just a few of the high quality products that Zele Performance has developed for the R35 GT-R. Contact us at 23GTR.se for pricing and delivery times.
