Spotted previously in rendered form, the AMS Intercooler for Nissan GT-R has now made it to prototype stage. The unit seen here is one of two prototypes that will be on display at SEMA and fitted up to the AMS Nissan GT-R for testing.

Very attractive units but no pricing or release date is set just yet…

There’s so many midpipes on the market these days for the Nissan GT-R that you’ll need to do your homework to select one that’s right for you. AMS have launched theirs into the fray over the past week and they’re quick to point out it’s key differentiators. It’s a catless midpipe but, where it differs from most is in the 90mm piping used over the more ordinary 76mm items seen to date.

Other features important to note are the full SUS304 stainless steel construction, including stainless flanges. It’s also available with or without a 90mm muffler section (shown without above) and includes all fasteners and gaskets needed to bolt straight on.

It’s available now for $1,495.

AMS can’t get away from the drag strip it seems as they are constantly pulling off personal bests. The latest was quite a win for them as they were able to set the highest known trap speed for a Nissan GT-R to date when they ran 10.48 @ 134.30 mph.

To place that in context with their rivals, the current quarter mile record is set at 10.31 @ 131mph by MVP while the previous best MPH was from SSP when they ran 10.37 @ 134mph.

To run 10.48 @ 134.3mph means the car is good for even lower ET’s depending on the launch / 60′ time. They really need to nail that down to see the car drop into the all out drag champion.

A two part post today regarding AMS’s exploits in the Nissan GT-R scene. First up they’ve unveiled renderings of their upcoming intercooler for the Nissan GT-R.

In other AMS news the guys have been back out at the drag strip to try and beat their own record for a Nissan GT-R on pump gas. Thanks to a set of loaner MT drag radials courtesy of Chuck “NAGTROC” H, with no other changes, they’ve dropped their own world fastest GT-R on pump gas ET down to 10.53 @ 133.68 mph! Congrats!

Video to come shortly!

Seems like the big power GT-R scene has matured somewhat of late and quarter mile times are both falling and requiring less experimentation to get there. The AMS sponsored GT-R in the video above has run a 10.69 @ 132 mph on 93 octane gas making it the fastest run on pump gas according to AMS. What’s more is the list of modifications is quite brief and it was done on the standard Bridgestone runflat tires.

So what goes into an AMS built tuned mid 10′s on stock tires Nissan GT-R? Here’s the modifications list:

• AMS Turbo upgrade
• AMS Downpipes
• AMS Midpipe and prototype Catback Exhaust
• Deatschwerks 800cc injectors
• HKS EVC boost controller
• AMS/Forged Performance tune using the Cobb Access port.
• Willall transmission cooler

That’s all… Crazy eh!?
