2009 Nissan GT-R Premium 725 WHP, Alpha 9, Motec M-1, Forged Performance Stage II Trans Upgrade
This GT-R has several track records at Watkins Glen 2:09, Millville, NJ Lightning ( 1:03;48 ), VIR, Mt.
Tremblance ( 1:39 ), COTA, TX (2:24:20), etc. Like everyone else I had to suffer through a long list of OEM short
comings that make this car poorly suited for a road course event longer then 15 mins in the summer. GT-R currently
fitted with taller wing pylons proven to be necessary with wind tunnel tests and test driving at the track, lower
pylons are available if buyer request.
In order to correct these problems one at a time and to enjoy the true race purebred buried deep inside
beneath all the factory defects, I have upgraded this car with the following systems / parts. For 2 years non stop
I have poured my heart, soul, wallet and engineering experience into solving every single problem that has limited
the GT-R from being the truly great car that it was designed to be. How the factory every thought that 265 F engine
coolant was going to adequately cool 285 F trans oil in a liquid to liquid heat exchanger the size of a soup can is
a mystery. But, by adding the extra Setrab cores, fans, pumps, filters to the trans oil, Front and Rear diff oil,
engine oil, systems even during the most brutal summer race this is the ONLY GT-R that will never red line the
trans oil, cook the diff oil, or worse yet - drop into LIMP MODE doing 180 MPH on the back straight at Watkins
Glen, or the bowl at Pocono !!!
My attention to detail has been meticulous because I am an FAA Aircraft Mechanic and have built and restored
many aircraft both prop and turbine and done 6 car projects as well. So the car is flawless in every respect and it
still retains a 110% premium quality look interior ( can reinstall the rear seat cushions if you want ), exterior
and under the hood. The car is absolutely 100% street legal & currently registered and inspected in PA. A very
serious contender for trophies at all shows and track events. I did not give into the idea that because I was
building a racer that I could justify the use of sheet metal and pop rivets. Look at the detail for the rebound
adjusters on the JRZ shocks - custom machined extensions - everyone else has to leave the rear storage deck out to
get to the knob. Also look at the JRZ canister installations - well engineered and easy to get to - open the hood
or trunk and instant access. Even the factory and Stillen suggest putting the front canisters in the battery &
power steering compartments - SICK !!! - not in this car.
Check out the overhead aviation type switch panel - not a panel cut into the dash with a razor knife and caulk like
some owners have done. This switch panel is where the overhead sunglass case was and I had to temporarily remove
the dash, all the A pillar trim, airbags, head liner to install all the fused wiring for this sub-panel with a
Master, Front Diff Pump, Rear Diff pump, Trans oil pump, Fans, Aux. fuel transfer pump switch from the 18 gallon
race fuel cell in the trunk, cool shirt pump, and Traqmate GPS Data Acquisition system master. Every switch has a
unique LED indicator light on it so you can easily see what you have turned on while doing 170 MPH on the front
straight at the Glen. That one switch panel speaks volumes as to the detail that has gone into all the work on this
car.
I have over $ 120 K invest in just PARTS and SUB Contracts, not including my 2,000 man-hours for engineering, fab,
and install in the car beyond the current market value.

AMS price: $24999.95 UNINSTALLED - JUST FOR PARTS
AMS Alpha 9 Package Includes the items below PLUS it was factory Installed by AMS the designers of the System -
believe me YOU DO NOT - NOT - want to do the dual Bosch 44 fuel pump install yourself - by necessity it is 8 #'s in
a 5 # bag all working through a 6" opening in the right saddle tank - after you dump 100% of all the fuel in both
tanks. You have to clock each worm clamp so in its final position the worm screw and tail don't fowl something else
- also have to trim all hose clamp bands to precise lengths so there isn't any excess - it's insane - but worth it
once you get on the dyno and see those 800 ++ ponies. I had them dial back the tune to protect the internals - and
at 725 -750 HP you are very safe with the stock engine.

Nissan's plan to supply US Mitsubishi dealers with family sedan stalls
Tue, Jan 27 2015Mitsubishi has quietly had some big success recently. The Japanese brand sold 77,643 vehicles in the US for all of 2014, a 24.8 percent jump over 2013. While still relatively small overall (Ford sold 74,355 F-Series trucks just in December, for example), it shows definite growth for the sometimes forgotten automaker. Unfortunately, the latest news might not help the company's future expansion. The proposed partnership of Mitsubishi and the Renault-Nissan Alliance on at least one midsize sedan for the US market is off the table, according to Automotive News. The company informed sellers that the collaboration had fallen through during a National Automobile Dealers Association meeting. "I told them that the plan has stalled," said Don Swearingen, executive vice president of Mitsubishi Motors North America, to Automotive News. "And I said that's really all I can tell you at this time." Under the original partnership, Mitsubishi was supposed to get a D-segment sedan that would have been built at the Renault-Samsung factory in Busan, South Korea. The automakers were also negotiating for Mitsu to get a C-segment four-door as a global model and developing an electric kei car for Japan together, due in 2016. While the sedan is gone, Mitsubishi isn't completely bereft of improved products in the pipeline. The Mirage Sedan is being launched in the US, and the Outlander is supposed to get a redesign for the 2016 model year. According to Automotive News, the Outlander Sport and Lancer are also due for refreshes in 2016, and a new Mirage is on the way.
2014 Nissan Rogue earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Mar 2014The 2014 Nissan Rogue has scored a Top Safety Pick+ award following positive crash test results by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The new crossover scored good results (the highest rating) in the group's five crashworthiness checks and a basic rating for front crash prevention.
The IIHS found that the Rogue also performed well in its small overlap front test with a low risk of injuries, and the driver's space maintained its structure well. It was an improvement over the previous generation, which received a marginal rating in that evaluation. The Rogue's optional forward collision warning system was enough for a basic rating in avoiding accidents.
To qualify as a Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint evaluations, plus a good or acceptable result in the small overlap front test. To receive the additional Plus rating in 2014, it must also have a basic, advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention. The IIHS scores vehicles as good, acceptable, marginal or poor, and avoidance systems are scored basic, advanced or superior, depending on the type of system and its performance. Scroll down to watch the videos of the small and moderate overlap crash tests and read the full IIHS statement.
Nissan, Infiniti will each show a next-gen concept EV in Detroit
Wed, Nov 28 2018The chief designer for Nissan and Infiniti said Wednesday that both brands will debut concept electric vehicles at the 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January that will likely show off Nissan's next-generation electric drive systems and the evolution of the brands' EV design direction first hinted at with Infiniti's stunning Q Inspiration. Alfonso Albaisa, senior vice president of global design for Nissan, said the concepts will reflect a similar departure from standard vehicle proportions as the Q Inspiration. He would not say exactly what segment or segments the concepts would represent, but he dropped some hints at a couple possible powertrains for the concepts. Similar additional concepts will follow later in the year at the Tokyo Motor Show, he said. "The Q Inspiration kind of hinted at it and we avoided discussing too much about what's driving that car. Of course, we talked about VC-Turbo, which is also possible," he said in an interview with Autoblog. "But if you really look at the car, Q Insipiration shifted the cabin forward. It was the first one to break the [mold] of Infiniti. So how to still have this artistry and this sense of carrozzerie" (Italian for coachbuilding) "of Infiniti without kind of the stereotypical long hood and the cabin shifted back and the windshield has to go through the center of the front wheel, these golden rules." Infiniti debuted the Q Inspiration concept sedan in Detroit in January, with a swoopy, ghost-like design influenced by an archer shooting an arrow through the air, and innovative design features like an elongated cabin that expands interior space, a relative lack of chrome, and other features. It's powered by a compact variable compression turbocharged engine, which can change compression ratios on the fly to maximize efficiency and power, depending on the situation. But Albaisa said the two concepts for Detroit could feature Nissan's e-Power series hybrid technology, which has mostly featured in Japan, and which features small, isolated gasoline engines that exist only to charge the batteries, not drive the wheels. They will also feature a new generation of battery packs, which he calls a "magic carpet." "It's getting denser, it's getting thinner, the cars are able to get a little bit bigger, more space, we can really do much more," he said.
