Switzer's New "Everyday" 1,000HP Nissan GT-R Ultimate Street Edition

One thousand horsepower is an attainable number by tuners these days, but understandably, when you push a car to its limits, it becomes very difficult to deal with under normal driving conditions.

Switzer Performance has been offering a 1,000 wheel-horsepower R1KX package for the Nissan GT-R since 2010, but it’s a hardcore tune that needs careful maintenance and is more suitable for the track than on the road.

Now, the Oberlin, Ohio-based company has come with a new performance tune for the GT-R named the Ultimate Street Edition or USE, which it promises to offer 1,000-horses that you can use on a daily basis.

"Far too often, I talk to people who think that what they want is that last thousandth of a second, regardless of the cost," says Tym Switzer, owner and founder of the company that bears his name.

"For the few that can really wrap their heads around what that means – that the car will shift abruptly, that it'll run hot in traffic, and that they'll have to run specialized racing fuels in order to get the most out of the car and keep it happy. For them, our R1KX or XXX GTRs will give them what they want: the baddest, fastest GTR that money can buy," explains Switzer.

"For people who want a 1000+ horsepower car that they can drive comfortably every day, to the track or the office or the grocery store, on the highway or in bumper-to-bumper traffic, we've built this car," he says.

According to Switzer, the new GT-R USE idles and shifts smoothly, and there's no deafening exhaust or horrific gear whine, while the tuner also claims to have managed to keep the highway mpg in the 20s.

However, says Switzer, when the road opens, "that pussycat" will turn into "a roaring lion. Right now. On demand. With no penalties, no compromises, and no excuses."

Evidently, the tuner has made a lot of changes to the GT-R's VR38DETT 3.8-liter V6 engine to achieve such a high-output - 1,000hp on premium pump-gas .

Among other modifications, the GT-R USE features Switzer-specific pistons, pins, rings, and connecting rods, as well as specially-ground camshafts, revised ECU, a stainless-steel performance exhaust, front mounted intercoolers that work together with an upgraded cooling package and a pair of liquid-cooled turbochargers featuring billet compressor wheels.

The supercar's ride and handling are managed by Switzer-specific lowering springs, a new set of lightweight alloy wheels wrapped in conventional performance tires (instead of run-flat), a tweaked version of the GT-R's launch control and "nano-carbon" brake pads.

Switzer has not yet released pricing information for the GT-R USE package.
