Re: Alpha 12? Dont get your hopes up haha!

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.
