Nissan GT-R Powered Stern


Nissan GT-R already has a DNA essentially a race car. Body which is embedded with a 3800 cc engine was enough to give a different sensation to the rider.

But it was considered not fit for Switzer modifier. Modifier from the U.S. was trying to make the machine even more powerful.

Switzer called the Nissan GT-R Z Ultimate Edition Street.

The first change in the machinery sector is more comprehensive, such as replacing the piston, pin, rings, and connecting rod (or bar piston), in order to optimize the engine camshaft.

These components are not complete without upgrading liquid-cooled turbocharger, intercooler, transmission coolers and stainless steel exhaust. As a result the engine was able to catapult power of 1,000 horsepower, or twice that of the original.

For the legs, Switzer tried to change it to look more settled when bulldoze the black asphalt. Therefore, Switzer modify the suspension and chassis as little oprekan on weight reduction on the sport sedan.

"Now use a softer tire, shock is already adjusted, changing the brake system to make it more bite to trap carbon," says Switzer.

Unfortunately for the set up and down and seat back and forth is still a manual system. rear passenger leg room is quite a relief. Rear passengers do not have to worry about the narrow room.



More deeply explore one of this crossover, the 2000cc engine was turned on. Quite easy to reach the gearshift stick.

Subaru XV soundproof system pretty well. Buzzing of the machine can be muted until the ears are not too distracting when in high RPM.

Subaru has been very fun to understand the desire of the rider. If you want to feel better engine performance, simply slide the gearshift to the right stick. Engine feels more responsive.
