South Side Performance are not resting on the GT-R parts development just yet. After recently completing their SSP GTR820RR turbocharger upgrades for the Nissan GT-R they’ve now released this SSP 820RS intake manifold upgrade to suit.
After trying a few variations on the upgraded manifold theme, this shape was found to offer a consistent and linear increase in airflow and hence horsepower. All else being equal it was good for 15hp and 28ft/lbs of torque increase on the demo GT-R. Check the dyno chart below.
The SSP 820RS intake manifold is designed to bolt onto your stock fittings and throttle body. The beauty is that it’s also got some room to grow on that side of things if you choose to opt for a larger diameter throttle body at a later date. Something tells me something might be coming out soon in that department…
Total volume in the manifold is increased more than 100% over the standard item while the weight is actually decreased. Your standard engine cover will no longer fit on but your choice of aluminium or gloss black finishes are available.
Price is $2,699 and limited stock is available right now. Once the limited stock is sold units are built to order within about a week.
Buttonwillow Circuit got a workout today with the North American GTR Owners Club – NAGTROC – showing up for their track day meet. Among attendees were Z Car Garage, Kunani from Budez.com, AXIS Wheels, and lots of other NAGTROC members.

Fifteen stops starting at the LA Motorshow on the 19th of November it passes through San Jose on the 21st of November.
Z Car Garage was given an extremely tall order when they were handed the keys to this customer owned Nissan GT-R just a week ago. A truck load of parts supplied by GT-RR also arrived with the car and they were tasked with putting it all together ready for SEMA in a handful of days.
A few sleepless nights later, after what was a very smooth build, we have the Status RacingZ Car Garage built Nissan GT-R show car. Modifications include:
