nissan gt-r

Few months ago we were announcing that the Japanese tuner Amuse, broke the 600 hp barrier with the Nissan GT-R but without any extra information. Today, the technical information were revealed by the tuning house! With a new name, called the GT-R Phantom, the upgrade includes a new ECU software boosting the engine to an astonishing 611 hp at 6560 rpm and 775 Nm of torque.

nissan-gt-r-by-power-1_200x0w.jpg Due to the light materials used, the vehicle also loosed some weight, now it has only 1674 kg! The tuner also added a new exhaust system as well as a new adjustable suspension and standard brakes. At the exterior the GT-R Phantom received a carbon fiber front lip spoiler, new side sills and a carbon fiber rear wing spoiler. At the interior, everything remained the same, completed by the stylish Recaro sport seats. No words about the price yet!

Very sad to hear of Power House Amuse founder and number 1 driver Hideki Tanabe-san's passing away last weekend. The R1 Phantom was the last car he worked on and is legendary already in these early stages of R35 GT-R tuning.

I remember seeing this car at TAS in January and being blown away by the quality of the parts he made.

Big loss.

Amuse will carry on with Tanabe-san's wife at the helm for now.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
