オハイオ州のスィッツァー・パフォーマンス・イノベーションは、日産GT-R用チューニングパッケージ『P800』を装着したGT-Rをさらにブラッシュアップしました。このGT-Rはサーキット走行をメインに考えられて作られていますが、サーキットへの往復も快適に過ごせることも考慮されています。

Switzerはポルシェのチューニングで有名ですが、その経験とノウハウがGT-Rのチューニングにも生かされています。今回P800パッケージに加えて装着されたのは、APレーシングのカーボンブレーキローター、自社チューンのJRZ サスペンション、そしてエアロモーションのアクティブリヤウィングです。

このGT-Rのフルスペックや詳しい情報は ここをクリックしてプレスリリースをご覧ください。

このところ、日産GT-R用のギヤボックスアップグレードがチューニングのトレンドとなっています。ニュージーランドのドッドソンモータスポーツは、日産のGR6デュアルクラッチトランスミッションの弱点を克服するアップグレードキットにおけるパイオニアです。

Switzerはドッドソンの強化ギヤボックスパーツの販売で提携したようです。自社のデモカーにドッドソンのパーツを組み込み、テストを繰り返すこととなっています。

教科ギヤボックスパーツの詳細や価格については近く公表されることとなりますが、ギヤボックスのオーバーホールやアップグレードに選択肢が増えることはユーザーに歓迎されるでしょう。

The Switzer Performance P800 is a potent vehicle already but what happens when you take a potent 800hp on pump gas monster and tune it for some high octane race gas? A fire breathing Godzilla incarnate basically.

Switzer have now shipped their first R850 package equipped Nissan GT-R (to Russia!). The package makes about 800hp at the engine (based on 15% drivetrain loss) and 820 lb/ft of torque.

The package comes with tunes for race and pump gas so you’ll actually find the car remains eminently streetable. It also features a large dual core radiator with revised thermostat, revised “MONSTER” intercoolers and the Switzer cooling package. The package comes in at the $20,990 mark all said and done.

Interesting race from a roll that we noticed over on Switzer’s blog today. A P800 Switzer Tuned Nissan GT-R up against a LPE ZR1.

The ‘vette is putting out nearly as many claimed horses and weighs a lot less, for sure – but Godzilla has a way of making physics bend to his will. Who wins? You’ll have to watch all the way to the end!

Quite an interesting race, especially for those who write off the GT-R at the top end of a long drag…

Can you believe it’s been a full year since Tire Rack One Lap of America 2008? Well believe it and get ready because it’s right around the corner and this year looks to be especially exciting.

For those not in the know, the “One Lap” is a annual week long cross country endurance motorsports competition. It pits drivers against each other in time trials for almost 20 legs in more than 3,200 miles of racing and traveling in a single week. Tires are controlled and entrants get only one set for the week but car modifications are allowed.

Each entrant is entered into a class dependent on what their vehicle was delivered from the factory with. For the GT-R that puts it in the SSGT1 category with cars such as the Z06, Porsche 911 and Dodge Viper. Modifications, no matter how insane, do not change your class.

Last year a completely standard 2009 GT-R finished 11th but was a serious contender for 5th overall if not for an unfortunate DNF awarded in one leg. The resounding footnote from 2008 was this quote from GT-R pilot and Car & Driver editor Tony Swan:

The bottom line: whatever all you Corvette and Porsche zealots may say, the GT-R is a serious player in the supercar game. It’s a formidable sports car fast and competent, with cutting-edge technical sophistication.

Tony Swan, Car & Driver

This year the GT-Rs wont be so timid.

This Year…

Derek Whitis from Freedom Autosport has been combining forces with the tuning kings Switzer Performance to build their GT-R to compete at the very top tier, the seriously tuned realm where the Hennessey Vipers dwell and the modified Porsche 911 Turbos reign.

Making in excess of 700 awhp, the Freedom Autosport GT-R has the full Switzer P800 Performance Package which features upgraded turbos, upgraded intakes, bigger fuel injectors, bigger intercoolers and a full ECU tune.

Add to that lightweight panels from Password:JDM, active aero surfaces by AeroMotions, and components from Performance Friction & Motorsport Brake Specialists, STILLEN, GT-RR.com, Forged Performance, Kraft Nissan of Tallahassee, WillAll Racing, and JRZ suspension the package is truly potent.

This year we will be covering the One Lap again so stick around and check back for updates as it will certainly be a heated battle for the top places this year.

If you’re interested to see the One Lap in person, admission is free to the circuits, check the schedule after the jump to see if there’s one near you.

It’s not everyday that a tuner the caliber of Switzer Performance makes an invitation to press to come try out their latest and greatest behemoth but that’s just what they did. On the dyno this beast reels off a solid 707 awhp (527kw) and 603 lb/ft (817 Nm) of torque which is good enough for a 3.35 0-60mph without resorting to the GT-R’s fabled launch control.

Jalopnik were the first to write up their experiences with the P800 on a miserable looking day on a snowy wet track. Good things to be said all round and well written to boot.

Check it out at the link below, video and tonnes more photos in their gallery over on Jalopnik…

Switzer have been in the tuning game for quite a while now and in the past they’ve grown a following building quality packages for cars such as the Porsche 911 Turbo. One of their more wicked projects you might know about is the Sledghammer 1000 hp Porsche 997 that manages an easy looking 9.7 quarter mile ET on standard internals.

Since beginning work on the Nissan GT-R at the behest of a customer they’ve put together a neat package that manages to put down over 625 hp at the wheels on 93 octane pump gas. The kit, known as the P700 consists of upgraded turbochargers, larger front mounted twin intercoolers and electronics to tie it all together. Fully tuned it makes over 700 crank horsepower – 626 awhp and 583 lb/ft of awtq. What’s more is that it’s said to do that safely without putting components at risk.

Switzer is based out of Ohio and if you’re keen on getting into one of these P700 kits the price is set at $16,650 USD. Reach them via the website below. The entire press release can be read after the jump along with a few more photos.
