It’s early Christmas for UK GT-R enthusiasts as their long awaited delivery date arrives. Good friend of ours, Ben Linney from GTC / GTR23.com has picked up his official UK spec Nissan GT-R after what seemed like an endless wait. Of course Ben had it a lot easier than some having a Japanese import GT-R to play with in the mean time.

Ben tells us that this upgrade to this Series II official UK spec GT-R is the first step to an upcoming launch of an entire new range of original performance parts from GTC / GTR23.com. We’ll be sure to keep you guys in the loop as more news comes to hand on that front.

Thanks for the pics Ben!

One of the most widely respected Japanese hardcore engine development workshops is lead by charismatic Junichi Tanaka-san. Based in Tokyo they’ve built some serious gear for customers interested in the top end of the horsepower range and they already have no shortage of customers who want the magic 1000hp from the VR38DETT. The name of the company, of course, is JUN Auto.

Recently he’s unveiled the plans they’ve made so far on getting there from here, 485ps to 1000hp and they’re exciting.

Starting in April and May JUN will focus considerable effort on the internals of the Nissan R35 GT-R’s enigmatic VR38DETT. Top of their list are:

• Billet Crankshafts
• Billet Connecting Rods
• Billet Pistons
• Billet Camshafts

Should be some interesting times and I’m hoping we’ll see a JUN Super Lemon R35 in in the not too distant future. Check out after the jump to see a test drive of JUN’s 1000hp R33 GT-R.

There’s no hiding the fact that the GT-R does tend to understeer on the track at the limit. Carry too much speed into a corner and the heavy front end will push, the body will roll and the tires will screech and the car will exhibit classic understeer.

While some choose to dial this out using wider front tires, full suspension replacements and so forth anti-sway bars are also a good choice to help combat it.

HKS Kansai have released just such an upgrade to some stiffer anti-sway bars recently for both the front and the rear of the Nissan R35 GT-R in an inexpensive set.

The front stabiliser bar offers 115% the stiffness of the standard OEM stabiliser using a 35mm diameter bar. The rear stabiliser is adjustable and offers two settings – Soft @ 167% stiffness and Hard @ 200% the stiffness of the OEM rear stabiliser.

Available now from 85,000 yen at GTR23.com and other HKS Kansai resellers.

Just had one of the best experiences of my life. Driving my R35 round the Race of champions track inside Wembley stadium ! Wembley is usually where the English football team plays football on a grass pitch in front of 90,000 people. But this year it has been turned into a race track where the best drivers from F1, Rally, etc, will battle it out to see who is the best driver on the planet on a level playing field.

Anyway, when i got a phone call asking if I wanted to join in the fun with my R35 against some modified cars including an all carbon Viper, I was well on it !

GTR23.com customer & A1GP driver Fairuz Fauzy in his 600bhp modified Ultimate Silver R35 GT-R and myself in White GT-R 600bhp headed down. Very tight track, but great fun !!!! Fauzy got the fastest time of the day, beating the Viper. Times and details little hush as it was all covered by a magazine who wants exclusivety.

Photos after the jump!

UK based Dymag have shipped the first set of GT-R bound Dymag carbon/magnesium ultra lightweight wheels by way of our friends at GTC-R to send off to a customer in Dubai. Dymag have perfected the manufacture of the carbon composite / magnesium wheels to come up with a design that is lighter and stronger than standard wheels.

Reducing unsprung weight has huge advantages, to have the same effect as removing just 8 kilograms of unsprung mass in the wheels you would need to remove 48 kilograms from the body. You get better acceleration, braking, fuel efficiency, lighter and sharper steering and more.

Here we see them fitted to Saeed from Dubai’s GT-R. This GT-R also features plenty of other modifications supplied by GTR23.com like:

• HKS GT570 KIT
• ARC Intercoolers
• Power House Amuse Turbo Outlet Pipes
• Power House Amuse STTI RS Exhaust
• Power House Amuse Rear Wing
• AutoSelect Front Spoiler
• AutoSelect Front Canards
• COBB Tuning AccessPORT
• COBB Tuning Coilover Sleeve Kit

Thanks a lot to Ben from GTR23.com for sending these in.
