Newly announced Lotus Formula 1 driver Fairuz Fauzy has been a Nissan GT-R R35 owner since importing one of the first into Europe in early 2008. Straight away, Fairuz chose the COBB AccessPORT to not only remove the annoying 112mph speed limiter, but also extract Godzilla power from the VR38.

Fairuz and his Nissan GT-R are regular visitors to Silverstone, Nurburgring, Brands Hatch, Santa Pod drag strip and even Wembley Stadium for the Race of Champions. Fairuz has thoroughly flogged every custom map that GTC’s tuner Ben Linney has thrown his way, from the early days of v108 and v108b maps to recent proportional gain boost control custom tunes and gear throttle multiplier maps.

Fairuz loves the fact he can change maps quickly, very handy when driving though Europe with varying fuel grades and also for different track set-ups with more suitable throttle % multiplier map control. Fairuz’s excellent feedback has been very useful to Ben and John at GTC, helping them to further optimize their custom tuning expertise.

Fairuz’s GT-R currently boasts the COBB Tuning AccessPORT, an F1 loud GTC Titan 90mm exhaust, decatted down pipes and GTC suspension. The AccessPORT has been showing consistent 0-60 times of just 2.9 seconds using the built-in Performance Monitoring tools!

We wish Fairuz all the best this year in the 2010 Formula 1 season.
