COBB Tuning Shows Top Gear Magazine how it’s done, GT-R Style!

GT-R testing has helped accelerate R&D on other Nissan platforms.

They said it could never been tuned, that the GTR was perfect right out of the box, that it could not be modified. COBB Tuning has shown the world otherwise! To find out why the United States is the epicenter for GT-R tuning, Top Gear magazine invited the top GT-R tuners in the country to head out to Spring Mountain Motorsports Country Club in Pahrump, NV to show the world just how we crank out the ponies.

Top Gear editor Pat Devereux, Our Man in L.A., was on hand to see how so many tuners here in the “States” are doing what Nissan said, could not be done. And at the heart of all this big power is the COBB Tuning AccessPORT.

The COBB Tuning AccessPORT is the only-hand held, plug-and-play reflash product available for the GT-R that offers push-button tuning. With the COBB Tuning AccessPORT, COBB Tuning has been able to crack the secrets of Nissan’s Supercar and exploit it’s massive potential for more horsepower using the stock ECU. Our own R&D cars have shown that it is possible to take a bone-stock GTR with just tune, tires and some suspension work, and turn the GT-R into an epic giant-killer at both the circuit and the drag strip. An otherwise stock GT-R with a AccessPORT is capable of completing the 1/4-mile run in just over 11-seconds.

With our plug and play engine management solution, COBB Tuning took the forefront at the Top Gear event and you will be able to read more about our remarkable achievements in a future issue of the magazine. Also, look for the time attack GT-R from Fontana Nissan next year, they installed an AccessPORT at the track and were blown away by how much power the AccessPORT was able to unleash track-side with just the push of a button! Additionally, GOTO Racing will be heading to the track with a highly-modified Time Attack GT-R in the coming weeks. This is a completely gutted and race-prepped machine with larger turbos, giant rubber and extra aerodynamics, tuned on a COBB Tuning AccessPORT. The GOTO GT-R will be at SEMA this year and will be competing in the SuperLap Battle at Buttonwillow Raceway on November 11th and in the Redline Time Attack Finale at Auto Club Speedway on November 15th in the Unlimited AWD class.

  1. You guys keep up the good work and I will keep purchasing your products. I could not let anyone other than Tim Bailey tune my car, and I know others who feel the same. Keep it up !

  2. Just a heads up that the issue featuring that event has now hit the shelves in the UK.

    Cool sidebar about Cobb too. I didn’t know your background!

    I’ve been very impressed by my Cobb AP on my GT-R and have helped Ben Linney at GTC sell quite a few units to sceptical GT-R owners.

    I write about my GT-R and my modding experiences for Evo Magazine and Auto-Journals.com.

    Keep up the good work!
