wow, great work. Exactly my "ideal" setup for a GTR--perfect balance for track day car and daily driver.

PS--Sharif, when the hell are you guys going to release your 370z specifc swaybars. I know your GTR ones are pretty popular how about some Z love? :happydance:

PPS--maybe i missed it in your list but no trans cooler? Is that less of an issue with the +12' GTRs than it was/is with the 09-11s?

This is quoted straight from Sharif on NAGTROC regarding the choice not to use a trans cooler on this build.

This also kept the costs down on the build as well. Without a doubt, any type of endurance raced GT-R will need coolers. Nissan also made some improvements to airflow and ducting to help keep the transmission and engine cool for the 2012 model. During my 3-4 lap testing rounds I never saw excessive temps.

And when you keep the transmission temps happy, the rest of the car is happy too.

Additionally, to answer your question regarding the swaybars. Our swaybars for the 370 have gone through the R&D and testing process 100% and are now scheduling them for production. We will keep everyone updated as we near completion. Thanks for the interest!
