Samurai Speed Set Nissan GT-R Quarter Mile Record: 10.47 @ 132 mph
Samurai Speed is back at it again out on the track setting records. Many of you will remember that this very same GT-R had previously set the bar high with their 10.53 ET backed by their famous exploding gearbox trick. Two hundred launches tend to do that to any gearbox.
Since then however the car has been off the road while solutions were found to the problem of repairing the gearbox without resorting to replacing it with an entirely new transaxle assembly from Nissan. Enter PPG’s first gear and input shaft set available and shipping as of last month. For $1,500 in parts and using inhouse labour they were able to replace the faulty gear and enhance the strength at the same time.
In between then and now, Samurai Speed also fitted up a nitrous system as well but have not rigged it to automatically function yet. So a 25 shot per side, manually activated was all that was used this run.
Congrats John and great work to all the guys @ Samurai Speed.

Thats one fast GTR Skyline they will be under 10 sec soon nice!
It’s already mid april, no news on spec v and series II at the nurburgring?
Good question wsq, I can’t wait to see what they are going to do at the Nür
Quicker times coming soon.
Wonder what time this thing would do @ the ring in the hands of Suzuki-san
The extra 220+ awhp over the 13miles would have to make at least 10 sec considering the uphill and high speeds sections not to mention Norschliefe straight!!
Yeah the 220+hp would definately give it that break away. But then again Porsche would maybe shutdown.
Samurai Speed should be proud of that 10.4s drag time. The car is Amazing.
I don’t like the idea of using nitrous on any GTR knowing its potential and capabilities.
Wow John, been following your IM stuff for a few weeks now, didn’t realise you were a total gear-head too!
