Esprit have now released pricing for their large intercooler upgrade and hardpipe kit for Nissan GT-R. The kit will retail for $5995 USD.

Expensive upgrade but track tested to lower intake temps significantly this might be one to consider for those serious track junkies.

Esprit have come up with something GT-R owners have been looking for, a big front mount intercooler upgrade. While ARC took the route of a subtle flow and end tank upgrade, Esprit makes a bold move with a dual core horizontal flow cooler design.

Technically this should improve airflow across the intercooler as the air no longer needs to make a complete 180° turn.

Esprit’s tame racing driver Hisashi Wada-Q has been out at Suzuka Circuit putting the kit to the test combined with a HKS GT570 kit.

The good news is that on the track there is a significant decrease in intake air temps (56°C -> 41°C)and oil temps (126°C -> 112°C) while maintaining the same water temps. As we all know a cooler intake charge results in more power, and it does, making over 600 hp. Top work there.

So if you’re looking to make 600 hp and keep things cool you might just want to consider this kit when it’s released soon. The front dry carbon intercooler duct is available now for 113,000 yen.

What better way to make friends than to share your parts around. This new Audi TT owner has gone ahead and fitted up a full set of Nissan R35 GT-R Brembo 6 pot front 4 pot rear calipers with the GT-R’s 380mm rotors to go along with it. The work was done at Esprit’s workshop.

Not personally my favorite car (duh) but these things do look pretty in the flesh even if they are just plain slow in comparison to a GT-R. For the money however I’d probably be driving something different. Different strokes as they say.
