Not much has changed on the Power House Amuse Nissan GT-R in terms of appearance but it’s most likely because they got the formula so perfect first time around. Still a huge crowd drawer at Tokyo Auto Salon 2009, it was good to see how timeless the late Hideki Tanabe-san’s design was and that it most certainly still holds it’s own in the flesh and around a race track against most newcomers.
Featuring the full Power House Amuse Exhaust including the R1-Titan Extra STTi muffler, the R1000-No1 turbine outlets and the R1000-No2 straight RS STTi midpipes. Combined with the Hi-Tech ROM ECU and a HKS EVC5 to control boost and it’s good for 611ps.
Aero is also handled by original Amuse products, the Amuse front under diffuser and the Amuse carbon rear wing offer improved downforce allowing for higher cornering speeds.
Suspension is adjustable via the Power House Amuse R1 Adjusting Kit which allows the standard Bilstein Damptronic dampers to take aftermarket springs and have an adjustable ride height. Spring rates chosen are 20kg/mm front and 12kg/mm rear.
Wheels are standard and fill the guards nicely when lowered like this, tires are also standard but a set of rear 285/35 tires are fitted to the front of the car to assist in getting the understeer under control.
These slight modifications are all it took to get into the low 59’s at Tsukuba Circuit (59.061).

As we know from early July Power House Amuse has been offering a large range of titanium exhaust systems for the Nissan R35 GT-R. There’s a lot on offer and it’s not immediately obvious when ordering exactly which exhaust goes with what and exactly how loud or street legal it’s going to be when your done.
The Real JDM have been getting some data straight from Power House Amuse on which exhausts suit which people. You can then go on from there to order it online at GT-RR.com. Check it out if the Amuse exhaust is something you’re thinking of doing when you pickup your new GT-R.

Ben Linney has been busy collecting parts for his Nissan GT-R over the recent months and has gone and fitted them up and run it on the dyno recently out at Perfect Touch. The results are good making 452.8 hp at all four wheels at 6,187 rpm. So far GTC are using a Sunline Racing GTspec TiTANIUM SR exhaust and a straight through front pipe. This setup deletes two of the four catalytic converters and improves flow as well as giving the car a great exhaust note.
Ben has also used a Cobb Tunning AccessPORT (beta version) to delimit the standard ECU. Tires have been replaced with Cooper Tires Zeon 2XS which are lighter than the standard Bridgestones by a considerable margin.
Next up GTC are looking to fit Power House Amuse R1000-No.1 Turbine Outlets to delete the remaining two catalytic converters.
Check out the rest of the photos Ben sent in after the jump.

Power House Amuse, the tuning shop famous for the Amuse Phantom 611 ps Nissan GT-R has revealed that they are currently in the early stages of developing a after market turbo setup for the new GT-R.
The twin turbo kit is to be based on a pair of HKS GT30 Pro turbos rated at 500ps each. Together, running 1.0 kg/cm² (14.2 PSI) they expect it to make an easy 650ps on standard injectors with standard fuel regulator and ECU.
It’s certainly heating up in the R35 tuning game, expect more news out of Power House Amuse soon.

GTR-World.net have posted a new video on their site’s GTR-World TV section. Power House Amuse take their demo car out to Fuji Speedway and set a very fast 1.51.44 time which is only just short of Mine’s time of 1.51.258. With a bit more testing I’m sure Power House Amuse will up the stakes and give Mine’s something to work for. Driving the Power House Amuse car was Tanabe-san himself.
