Two More GT-Rs Run 9’s and New Records All Round
A huge day for GT-R drag racing enthusiasts with not one but two more GT-Rs entering the mega exclusive 9 second R35 GT-R club.
A lonely club it was for the single GT-R in it until today when SP Engineering smashed the record and dug deep into the 9’s with a amazing 9.62 @ 150.75mph at SpeedWorld drag strip in Arizona, USA. That is seriously moving.
It was quickly followed by NAGTROC member Hing (rsfootball) who had an amazing day as well running back to back 9’s with a best of 9.8 @ 148mph.
Both of these cars feature the GReddy TD06-20g twin-turbo upgrade kit and were running the 18″ drag radials on Volk TE37 wheels for the best runs.
The SP Engineering car also has further modifications to the engine including:
- GReddy Intercooler
- CP Pisons with coating (standard sized)
- Carrillo Conrods
- 1000cc Injectors
- SP Engineering Fuel Pump Setup w/FPR
- TiTek Titanium Race Midpipe
- TiTek Titanium Race Exhaust
- Cobb AccessPORT
With all that said though, the clutches remain stock. You can actually check out their massive engine overhaul photo thread on their website here for pics of the engine components.
Hing’s car on the other hand is slightly milder, while it does have the same GReddy TD06-20g twin turbo kit, its still running standard internals… Yep a standard motor, upgraded fuel system, Cobb AcessPORT, GReddy Titanium Exhaust and Dodson Motorsport/Exedy upgraded clutch packs! There’s more to it than that but I’ll let Hing decide if he wants to divulge the rest over on NAGTROC…
On this setup, and his own 20″ drag radials, he was running back to back 9.9’s. It was when he switched out to the 18″ drag radials that he dipped into the 9.8’s.
For these runs, both cars were running C16 fuel the track temps were around 120° F and air temps were about 80°F.
Congrats to Hing, SP Engineering and everyone involved in this huge success!

AMS 9 Second Quarter Mile Passes – The Video
The much anticipated video from AMS. These guys are a class act, they even edited together the video professionally.
Without further ado I’ll let the video do the talking!
Update: Looks like the guys have posted up details and pricing of the AMS SR850 Package that power’s this 9 second GT-R.
The AMS SR850 package for your Nissan GTR offers the most reliable bolt-on horse power available. This package was built off our successful SR750 program and offers stock-like turbo spool up while boosting power output to an astounding 850 horsepower on race gas and 750 on pump gas.
At the heart of the SR850 package are the custom AMS ball bearing turbochargers. Once installed these turbos appear stock yet provide enormous gains in horsepower and torque throughout the entire rev-range WITHOUT added turbo lag! It is a win/win situation that is unheard of industry provided by the latest in turbo technology.
For more information and pricing, hit up the link below:

AMS Smash The 9 Second Barrier at TX2K10
After beating out all the other competitors in the dyno competition, AMS have driven this SR850 tuned R35 GT-R to a worlds first 9 second ET at Lonestar Motorsports Park on their first run of the day!
They went on to run a string of 9 second passes with the best ET being 9.89 @ 145 even after hitting the rev limiter in second. The best mph of the day was 146.96 mph which you can see in the timeslip in the gallery below.
To get there, the car runs an AMS SR850 upgrade package which includes:
- AMS upgraded bolt on turbo’s
- Upgraded actuators
- AMS 90mm downpipes
- AMS 90mm Resonated midpipe
- AMS 90mm exhaust
- AMS Front mount intercooler
- AMS 3″ intercooler piping
- HKS bov’s
- AMS Large MAF intake pipes
- AMS fuel System upgrade
- Cobb AccessPORT
- AMS Custom Race gas map (unleaded 109 octane Race gas)
With these mods the car is putting 765awhp and 738 lbft of torque to the ground. Impressive stuff and big big numbers from bolt on upgraded turbos. What will we see when AMS’s custom cast manifolds and even bigger turbos get bolted up to Chuck’s car?
Congratulations to Frank who owns the world’s first 9 second GT-R and to AMS who built it!
Cheers to Chuck for the heads up on this. Also note, these pics are from previous runs.

RH9 Club Members Collaborate on R35 GT-R ECU Upgrades
You may or may not have heard of the RH9 Club before, and if you haven’t what sort of rock do you prefer to live under these days? Anyway, RH9 Club is a group of workshops throughout Japan who are capable of building a GT-R capable of 9 second quarter mile passes in street trim.
While no R35 GT-R has stepped up to this realm yet, the RH9 Club does not simply ignore them altogether. Recently, in order to bring their collective expertise to the R35 owners of Japan they got together in Kyoto to work together on a set of tuning data that could be applied to the GT-R and be made available throughout the member workshop network.
The results achieved are interesting. Over at Phoenix Power’s workshop a test car was donated by Decide 226 workshop as a test mule. Originally tuned by Decide, in standard trim, the car made 513ps with 68.6 kgm of torque up from a baseline of 459ps. Tweaked with the RH9 collaboratively built map, it went on to make 550ps and 72kgm of torque.
Later, the same map was applied to the Phoenix’s Power GT-R, which is modified with a Blitz SBC-iD boost controller and SARD high-flow exhaust and results were 614 ps and 96.1kgm or torque.
Just how much boost was being used in these runs was not revealed, wastegate modifications were also not detailed. In the past Phoenix’s Power’s GT-R has run around 19.2psi running down to 13 psi by redline to achieve the 616ps it has previously clocked.
Interesting results out of Japan for relatively stock cars. The price for the upgrades are set at 168,000 yen plus 10,000 yen installation fee for 2008 model cars. An extra 60,000 yen fee is levied for the 2009 JDM cars which require some TCM tweaks apparently. Installation is available at any RH9 Club workshop throughout Japan.
Thanks to Mindlessoath for the email tip.
