If You Want To Make A Thousand-Horsepower Nissan, You're Going To Have To Break A Few Transmissions

A few years ago, we drove the Switzer P800, a Nissan GT-R that put slightly over seven hundred horsepower to the wheels. Switzer has since gone on to sell dozens of P800 kits; in fact, your humble author worked with Switzer for the summer of 2010 in an advisory capacity to help sell even more of them. If you’re going to drive a GT-R, you might as well drive a really fast one, right?

Switzer’s customers weren’t satisfied with 800 horses at the crank, though; they wanted a thousand at the crank. And once that was done, they wanted a thousand. At the wheels. Getting to that level wasn’t easy.

  • Jeff Maybe one day automatic braking will be better sorted out but as others have stated there are too many false alarms and those false alarms could get one rear ended. I agree about the tire pressure monitoring systems when the batteries go out on the sensors they don't work and they are never meant to last forever. Just buy a good tire gauge and learn how to check the tire pressure and put air in your tires.
