Thumbs up My GT-R build....

Dropped off the GT-R in Orlando on Sunday with Jotech Motorsports in Dallas. They trucked it out to Dallas to get a few upgrades done. Here is the list:

SSP Upgraded Turbochargers
HKS GT600 Kit:
• Racing Extension Pipes (75mm)
• Racing Center Pipe (75mm x2 - 85mm)
• Intercooler Pipe Kit (Polished Alum.)
• Pre-programmed EVC (JDM Spec)
• Pressure Release Computer (PRC)
• Super SQV Blow-off Valve Kit
• Reinforced Actuators
• Super Fire Racing Spark Plugs (M45HL)
• Premium Suction Kit
• Fuel Pumps x2
• Fuel Pressure Regulator
• Superior Finisher with GT600 emblem
Greddy XL Intercooler
HKS DCT Transmission Cooler
Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors
Cobb AccessPort with Jotech Custom Tune (multiple maps)
Adrey@Specialized Performance NAV bypass switch and aux video harness
Hardwire Passport 9500ix and Laser Interceptor
Tricplate.com electrochromic license plate cover
Ordered all black Texas personalized plate
Polished intake manifold, red powdercoated valve cover, and black painted Jotech engine cover
Dynamat interior to reduce road noise
All fluids changed

Car already has a very rare HKS titanium Spec R exhaust and a resonated midpipe.

Now, picture time:
At Orlando Speed World with the Jotech racing crew:



Getting loaded up for the trip to Texas:




Arrived in Texas!

That's Kenny's 1200hp Scion sponsored dragster in the background:

Unloading:

In the shop:




More pictures and details to come later. This build is going to take approx. 3-4 weeks to complete. The mod list is sure to change, but that's a more than adequate start!

Weak. My SaturnV will undoubtedly beat it into orbit, and that's even before the 6th nozzle mod....

But seriously - good God - that's going to be sick.

Blake that is truly badass, I didn't even know you had gotten a gtr. And it looks like you are building it up right. When and why did you move to Florida, are you coming back to Texas?

I moved to Florida for a change of pace, but it's way too slow out here and I want to move back. Dunno when cause I just spent my moving money on the obvious haha. Maybe in a couple months.

Grats!

It looks like you are going to beat my try at Florida. I made it 3 months in Orlando. I laid on the horn as I passed the "Welcome to Texas" sign on the way back to Dallas. I stopped twice to pee and load up on Mountain Dew and chips. 13 1/2 hours. Did not speed at all...



It was OK but overall just too slow as mentioned and that was Orlando.
I think I may have sawed at my wrist with a butter knife in Sarasota. No offense locals.

You moved to the slowest part of FL. My family has lived in Sarasota for like 40 years. It's so much slower than the east coast cities like Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. I lived in Broward County and loved it. Close enough to Miami for going out, far enough away to avoid the worst traffic and crime.
