Imagine a Nissan GTR with the pulling power of 800 HP now that is huge and will move the car along as fast as you would like and a bit more of course. This project is the result of some serious work by Switzer Performance; the serious HP means serious performance something that many owners would give their eye teeth for.
It is hard to comprehend what could possibly be under the body of this car it is a true monster, but a nice looking monster at that, no nice does not cut it, this is a super monster car with a beautiful body that defies all logic, but it is something that will put on a good show.
This is a project that only the big boys could, a privateer would struggle to come up with all the necessary car parts and work that is needed to get the project from the planning stages to that wonderful time when the driver puts the key in the ignition and cranks it up.
Specs of the Switzer built Nissan GTR with 800 HP:
“The client had some pretty clear goals with this car.” explains Tym, “This GTR couldn’t be track day special that would deafen you out on public roads. The client was looking for a car that he and his wife could drive out 2 or 3 hours to the track in reasonable comfort, fill it up with pump gas, set killer times lap after lap after lap, and drive to a nice dinner afterwards without issue. Basically, it’s a race car with climate and cruise controls, and that’s kind of a lot to ask!”
The Switzer crew set to work on the Super Silver 2010 GTR, starting with the company’s proven P800 kit, which replaces the car’s intercoolers, intakes, and turbochargers with Switzer components that bump the GTR-engine to 800 hp and almost 700 lb-ft of torque … but didn’t stop there. “Adding 300 more horsepower the car obviously helped its power-to-weight,” Tym adds, “but more importantly none of the components in our P800 package and our new cooling package, which this car also has, are any heavier than stock. When we built the kit originally we didn’t want to make the car any heavier than it already was, and with this car in particular we wanted to reduce the weight as much as we could, without sacrificing the ‘GT’ aspect of the GTR.”
To that end, Switzer fitted featherweight carbon rotors from AP, which cut a significant amount of unsprung weight (the enemy of handling) and rotating mass (the enemy of acceleration) from each corner of the GTR, while improving fade resistance. Application-specific pads, high-temperature brake fluid (AP), and stainless steel braided brake lines round out the brake package with improved pedal feel and increase stopping power.
Weight was also cut with the addition of a lightweight (ceramic-coated) titanium exhaust system, dry-carbon deck lid, and lightweight sports seats from Bride. “We chose these seats because of their adjustability. You can be comfortable, still get to the back seat, and it is not an extreme one-piece seat that is not comfortable on the highway. They fit the project goal perfectly.”

Agency Power Short Ram Intake System Nissan Skyline R35 GTR
Product Description of the Short Ram Intake System Nissan Skyline R35 GTR:
Agency Power Short Ram Intake System Nissan Skyline R35 GTR 09+ Factory air boxes are always designed well from the manufacturer, however a small panel filter has restriction and limits to it. Stock intakes are also designed to eliminate sound where tuners want more from their turbos. The Agency Power Short Ram Intake kit features 3 inch aluminium piping that has a CNC machined mass air flow sensor mount from 6061 aircraft grade aluminium. Designed on CAD to ensure a proper OEM fit, the intakes fit in place of the factory unit from the throttle body forward. Each intake features a high flow K&N cone filter with front induction, which is key on the GT-R’s stock intake system. These intake retain the factory inlets on the front bumper to help draw in a large amount of cool air. Unlike conventional cone filters with a flat front, they will block air flow where the K&N ones draw more air in. The intakes as tested on Agency Power’s demo vehicle using a Mustang all wheel drive dyno made 30 wheel horsepower and greatly improve throttle response and turbo spool up. The intakes are sold as a pair and available in wrinkled red (shown) or polished. Agency Power also offers customer powder coating for an additional $100 per pair. Please select below. (For Custom Powder coating, please specify colour in the comments section of the checkout, or call us at 1-480-966-3040. All parts are Made in the USA. For Dyno Results. All Agency Power products come with a 90 Day limited warranty. To receive your product warranty, please fill out the warranty card
