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.

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.

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.

We´ve been doing transmission repairs and upgrades for over a year now and we are both Dodson Motorsport and Willall Racing dealers. We can do any upgrade or repair you might want to have done, so don´t hesitate to contact us. Needless to say, we also have a Nissan Consult III diagnostic tool so we can do all of the necessary adjustments and diagnotics. Here are just a few examples of the work we´ve done to customer cars.
