If you’ve ever had to splice into an ECU wiring harness to hook up some gadget or other you’ll know how heartbreaking it is to cut open the nice loom and hack it all to pieces. It’s pretty worrying for those that still hang on to some semblance of a warranty too because if Nissan happen to catch your handy work you might have some ‘splainin to do.

Wiring harness patches offer the perfect solution to this problem, they offer a passthrough matched set of plugs and sockets with a short length of wiring in between for all your patching adventures. Remove the harness extension and you’re back to stock!

This latest version, just released, now features coverage for all three sockets on the GT-Rs ECU giving you access to any signal that might pass it’s way.

Hit up the link below to order yours…

Well we saw these first about a month ago, huge brake upgrades from UK based Alcon had made their way to a few early customers in Asia. The brakes are now officially available to all in Europe and the US.

July 27, 2009 – Alcon Components LTD, a world-wide leader in high performance braking systems and technology, has confirmed that SpeedForSale.com will be the exclusive North American distributor of their Nissan GT-R Brake SuperKits & OEM Lightweight Rotor Upgrades.

The official press release then goes on to give a few of the details of these mammoth brake kits, the largest currently available for the GT-R.

The GT-R SuperKit has the largest brake caliper, rotor, and pad upgrade available for the GT-R, with the front rotors having a massive 15.75” x 1.42” (400mm x 36mm) size, and the rear rotors coming in at 15.16” x 1.30” (385mm x 33mm.) The kit’s 2-piece floating rotors also include Alcon’s unique bobbin drive system and crescent groove pattern on the face along with 48 internal vanes with turbulators. The mammoth sized ‘Mono-block’ calipers are machined from solid billet and contain 6-pistons in both the front AND rear, along with dust seals, anti-rattle clips, ventilated piston inserts in the front, and utilization of the OEM parking brake in the rear. The brake pads included are Pagid RS9-2 models, with anti-squeal shims and a surface area of 33.6” square inches (217 square centimeters) in the front and 18.7” (121 sq cm) in the rear. High quality Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines complete the kit. And, best of all, these huge brakes fit inside the OEM 20” wheels and work with the stock brake actuation system!

Pretty much brake porn right there… Pricing on the full SuperKit is $12,990 including everything you need and a choice between Castrol and Motrul brake fluid.

If you’re looking at upgrading brakes but are quite content with the standard Brembo calipers, Alcon are now also producing a lightweight OEM replacement rotor kit. A full set of four, including hats, pre-assembled, ready to fit up will set you back only $3,500 or just $3,000 if you’re one of the first four to order at the link below…

The Type1 Racing exhaust for the Nissan GT-R is due in less than a months time now and what should be final pricing is up online already. We also have a new dyno chart we hadn’t seen before comparing each T1R Exhaust stage from the turbos back.

The T1R 90R Cat back exhaust in stainless will set you back $1,890 USD. It’s manufactured in SUS316 grade stainless and offers a 90mm main pipe split into two 70mm rear pipe sections. It will go on sale in April and should be available for pre-order now.

The T1R Y-Pipe also goes on sale in April this year. It’s made from the same SUS316 grade stainless steel and features a pair of 76.3mm pipes combined into a single 90mm diameter pipe. Two flex joins insure it will not suffer cracking under stress at high temperatures. The price? Just $619 USD.

We’ll have a video of these come April when SpeedForSale get their hands on one installed on their own GT-R.

Thanks Jeremy@SpeedForSale for the update.

Megan Racing is working with SpeedForSale on the launch of their new coilover kit for the Nissan GT-R. These fully adjustable coilovers replace the OEM suspension and offer 32 levels of damper adjustment and easy to use height adjustment. Spring rates on these are 12kg at the front and 10kg in the rear.

From all accounts these Megan Racing Street coilovers are a cost effective alternative in terms of replacement full coilover sets. During the pre-order period the cost for the entire set is just $999. Regular price is $1050. Thats a fraction of the cost we’ve seen other kits going for so far.

Rotating mass reduction can benefit driveability of a car greatly. Some ways to lower it are to change to a lighter tire, pickup some lightweight wheels, a lightweight flywheel, or of course lightweight pulleys. AMS has come up with a crank pulley that manages to save almost 4 lbs of weight over the standard item.

Made from billet, aircraft grade aluminium, the AMS Crankshaft Pulley weighs just 2.35 lbs.

That’s great but how does it translate to data we can see and understand? Recently SpeedForSale had their AMS Crank Pulley equipped Nissan GT-R on their dyno to find out. While it’s not an earth shattering power increase it does smooth out power delivery and offer mild gains.

Right now SpeedForSale are running a pre-order special, $315 for the pulley down from the regular $349. More info and installation guide at the links below…

Not satisfied with COBB’s canned tunes for your Nissan GT-R or mods getting too out of control that you need a few tweaks on the tune? Well good news for you because the AccessTUNER Pro 1.7 software is available now for workshops.

This software gives your tuner the power to customise the fuel, ignition, timing and so on to your exact requirements. When done, you take your custom map and flash it to the car’s ECU via the AccessPORT. It also has sophisticated data monitoring capabilities as well.

One of the first workshops in south eastern US to get the R35 GT-R AccessTUNER software is SpeedForSale. Jeremy from SpeedForSale let us know that their Atlanta based workshop is ready and able to tune your Nissan GT-R now.

SpeedForSale let us know that they have their GT-R’s DSG gearbox in pieces developing some upgrades for it due over the coming months. So far they’re working on a transmission cooler, a differential cooler and upgraded clutch packs. SpeedforSale are also working on their own oiled and dry versions of high flow intake air filters.

Expect the trans/diff coolers and air filters out in as little as 3 weeks but no firm date on the clutches yet.

Turbo kits that SpeedForSale are also developing should be ready some time in the next two months so we’ll keep an eye on those and let you know as soon as we hear.

Remember those 5Zigen SP street spec exhausts we posted about a while ago? Jeremy over at SpeedForSale has fitted one up to their black R35 GT-R as they have come into stock recently. They also have the 5Zigen front pipes fitted as well which delete two of the cat converters. They’ve gone through the effort of posting up a sound clip/video as well and it sounds very nice indeed.

Jeremy says the installation is very simple and a DIY article will be posted soon for those mail ordering the parts who prefer to get their hands dirty themselves.

SpeedForSale has let us know of some interesting and important development work they are currently involved with.

Firstly the twin turbocharger upgrade, there’s two different upgrade plans right now. We don’t know specifics yet but high-flowing the stock items is perhaps one of them?

Pistons and conrod upgrades, forged pistons, upgraded pins and rings that are compatible with the plasma sprayed internals. H-beam forged conrods with upgraded bolts and bearings.

Main girdle/cap studs, head studs, two material types and grades will be offered to upgrade these.

More information will be coming out over the next few weeks, stay tuned!

Jeremy from NissanGTRClub and SpeedForSale, a sponsor of our site, emailed me some photos the other day to let us know he had picked up a brand new black on black premium 2009 Nissan GT-R.

Eager to begin development Jeremy decided to jump the gun and purchase this GT-R locally while their Dark Metal Grey GT-R is still on order. I certainly can empathise with that.

While the GT-R is literally brand new and they haven’t even run it in yet SpeedForSale are currently data logging the ECU to learn more about the inner workings of the car for developments planned down the track.

We’ll keep a close eye on the development of Jeremy’s GT-R and update along the way.

US GT-R owners need not turn to Japanese origin ECU upgrades now as US based firm Prototech enter the market with two ECU upgrades for Nissan R35 GT-R. Just two weeks since the first USDM deliveries Prototech have cracked and polished the first of two versions of their USDM ECU upgrade.

The stage 1 upgrade is a light tune with slightly revised fuel, ignition and timing maps. It also slightly raises the boost. It’s designed for GT-Rs with an exhaust and intake freed up. Power gains are solid from such a simple upgrade and it offers 50 hp more and torque is up 90 lbft over standard. This kit is available right now.

A second, more hardcore ECU upgrade is planned to be available soon able to cope with more serious bolt ons like turbo kits and injectors.
