Forged Performance have been seeing great results using Arias FP Spec pistons in their VQ motor builds for years now so they decided to spec out and order a set up for a VR38DETT build they’re carrying out for a customer.
These are made from Zero Silicon Aluminum for maximum strength and feature tool steel offset wrist pins, and a pressure seal groove. They’re moly coated for lower friction and are capable of supporting a 1000hp build. The specs are 95.5mm, standard bore and built for a 9.0:1 comp ration.
Forged have these in stock in 95.5m so if these sound like something that might interest you, hit up the guys at Forged Performance to have a chat to see how they can help you…
Kind of related to the previous story, although not featuring the exact same car, this short video presented by Sharif from Forged Performance shows what sort of technology and hardware goes into building and then tuning a quick Nissan GT-R.
Taking a look under that hood was interesting, these guys are making mid-10′s look pretty damn easy these days!
Sharif from Forged Performance has taken time out to post up an “Everything You Wanted to Know…” thread over on NAGTROC regarding boost control on the Nissan GT-R. A great idea I though as one of the first things many a new owner thinks about is more power right… Therein is one of the beauties of forced induction.
The GT-R is no pussy cat to begin with but a tweak of the boost courtesy of a ECU tune, boost controller or actuator upgrade can open your eyes to a new level of power, even on the standard turbos.
If more-boost-done-properly is something you’re chasing for your GT-R you should check out this thread and if you have any questions ask away. Sharif and Forged Performance are recognized as being well ahead of the curve in terms of tuning the GT-R and have most likely come across your situation in the past.
Forged Performance have been spending a lot of time at the track with their GT-R and have been turning some great laptimes with it in both stock and then mildly modified form. Having only changed the wheels, tires, suspension, ECU tuning and exhaust they’re read to take on some highly modified beasts in the extremely competitive Modified AWD class of the Redline Time Attack series 2009.
Last year saw some top level workshops enter their highly modified Evos and STis but this year should see a few GT-Rs I’d say.
JRZ finished up development on a range of coilover suspension for the Nissan GT-R recently and it’s now available to buy through JRZ dealers. Forged Performance are the first dealer to get their hands on stock for the GT-R and they gave me a heads up on the details.
Designed for a range of applications from street to circuit, the Nissan GT-R suspension is made from the same technology used in 2009 24hrs of Daytona GT class winning suspension from JRZ.
Circuit tested and tuned for the GT-R by racing drivers as well as the JRZ engineering team, each set will come with custom spring rates depending on your intended application.
The JRZ Suspension is available in the following specs:
Here’s a rundown of some of the main features of the JRZ Nissan GT-R suspension sets:
Billet machined front and rear fork, lighter and stiffer
Right side up mounting for easy rebound adjustment
Piggyback or with remote canisters on hoses
Cable rebound adjuster extensions in the rear, adjust rebound with the stock interior installed.
Spherical bearing upper mounts
Improved high performance and circuit driving without sacrificing street driveability
A serious amount of R&D behind this suspension for the money really. For more information and for pricing, check out the Forged Performance website at the link below.
