Damn, that's awesome. Congrats! Looks like it cleaned up really well.
Going to track the car at all?

Black ftw, loving the car. Good evo upgrade for sure haha. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Awesomeness!

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I just ordered the Cobb race mid pipe (no cats), got it for 480 shipped so it wasnt too bad. And as Kracka said the Cobb Accessport is next, just looking for the right deal. Theres a few V3's for $900.

I'm sure I'll end up tracking it some, its just nice for once to get in a car and press start and go. Nothing else but giving thumbs up to all the crazies on the highways haha. It does have a rich code right now where its sending way too much fuel to each bank. Ron said its odd, so hopefully I can have him look at it soon and get it squared away. I'd like to get close to 450/450 on his dyno and I'd be happy for a few months haha.

The scariest part about these is obviously the trans but looking at Jacks they have their 600whp/tq package for like 2,000 so after seeing that it doesnt scare me half to death like a 15,000 new oem one. So for now, get a few items squared away and listen to that exhaust rumble!!

Oh and sell that white IX RS in the pics ;)

My buddy beat the hell out of his transmission with Cobb's TCM flashing for 30k miles without issue, and he was at 552/579 on 93, 608/662 and E85, and never hesitated to test out launch control ;) That was his blue 2013 we drove up for the MitsuStyle Cruise last year. He's since traded that one in and swapped all his mods over to a white 2015. For transmission maintenance he did nothing but frequent fluid changes...keeping the fluid fresh in those things really is they key to longevity; I think he may have added an aftermarket filter as well. We'll be caravaning up for the Spring Cruise in April so you'll have to be sure and connect with him.

Here are his charts:

These engines are very potent and respond insanely well to modifications.

Grats on the GTR purchase. I know you will enjoy it.. I loved mine and as Kraka said we flew to Ohio and drove it back to Dallas in Jan 2013 and of course drove it up to the 2013 Fall Cruise.

I have now got a 2015 and its even better.

You will love the car but please be very careful about who tunes your car. I would consult with Tim Bailey at Cobb and have him help pick you a tuner he trusts. As Kraka said make sure you get the TCU module in your Cobb AP. If you are curious how many times Launch Control has been used any local Nissan dealership that is GTR certified can plug in and tell you.

Dont do LC until you get the NEW LC control software, either for free from Nissan or with an updated AP from Cobb. Its very possible that its already been done with as old as it is from just regular servicing at a Nissan dealership.

The main reason you want the TCU module is so that the clutch packs can be repacked and adjusted in the transmission and the AP TCU model can do that. I did that regularly.

Just my two cents but I would not use Jacks... yes they are cheap but their parts are not near the quality of what Shep uses and Shep in your backyard. Dodson clutches and PPG. There is a reason all the best GTR's use these parts.

Here is some info for you to read as well:

Congrats again on the car and I hope to see you this Spring at the next cruise. I'll be driving up with Kraka again this year.

:drive1:

[Kracka]

Thanks for chiming in, Tom!

[evotuner]

Thanks for the advice sir! And Kracka ;)

Ron at RS will certainly be doing the tuning, I trust him more than anyone. AJ's making great power for E85 and stock turbos so thats something I'll copy to an extent. I honestly dont need 800/800 or anything along those lines. Stock ish is great to me
