Holiday Party, the GReddy way

The past few weeks have been a really busy time for the entire GReddy staff. With the short month because of the holidays and our Garage Sale last week, it was nice for a bunch of the team to make it out to a Industry Track event at Willow Springs International Raceway "the fastest road on the west" with our own personal cars and the company R35!
It was a lot of fun. With a little work mixed in. (Sneek-peak: Look out for a new GReddy R35 Trans Cooler coming!) Here are a few snap shots of the fun! We are looking forward to hitting the tracks a lot more in 2010!

Eco Tuning Trend from Japan

In addition to the high horsepower GTR and Z builds, GReddy is always looking forward to possible new trends. One might seem a new in the USA, but our Japan HQ starting to look into more Eco friendly, performance tuning options. Dubbed the "Hybrid Sports System" line, we explore the options for the late-model Prius and Insight... (The upcoming Honda CR-Z looks very interesting too!) Current options include, free flow exhaust, front lip aero spoilers, BL lowering springs, strut tower bars, accessories and electronics like the infometer TOUCH.












email us at greddyusa@greddy.com to let us know what you think about this in the USA...

After scooping out the 2009 SEMA Show for 2days, we are back at the office with a quick review of the show, (GReddy style)

Here is the office reveal of the GReddy Gen Cpe project in the Hyundai booth. Accompanied by a cool new poster. (check the video coverage on UrbanRacer.com)

Then there is the 758whp GReddy Total Tune-up! 350Z-HR TT with it's new stand alone Haltech ECU
And then in the Seibon Booth is another 450whp twin turbo GReddy 370Z. Behind it you can see samples of the parts with it.

In addition to looking for our cars and parts, we selected a few really cool parts we saw at the show that would work really well with a GReddy R35, 350Z, 370Z twin turbo kit...(set to be released soon)

OS Giken and Spec clutches make VQ-HR clutches, Darton has some new VQ and VR sleeves, OS Giken has a R35 LSD, and Hatech has a new 350Z,370Z and R35 pro ECUs. and last but not lease is our new GReddy by Raybirg LED light kit.

GReddy Powered Hayabusa...Hayabusa?!

This blog entry is one of our more random post, but we thought it was interesting to show how inventive some GReddy dealers are. Technical Shop Pro Shop Tanshaya, in Japan stopped by the TRUST headquarters recently to show-off one of their projects: a GReddy TD04H powered Suzuki Hayabusa. But the really cool part it was tuned using an e-Manage Ultimate.
(Don't be looking for us to do this sort of project here in the USA, but it sure is cool)


For more info please see our Japanese blog.

Formula D 09 Finals at Irwindale, GReddy GTR debut!

This past Saturday was a great opportunity to debut the two GReddy R35's, with our new retro-modern GReddy colors graphics. The Formula D finals was a great, sold out event and we were happy to see so many automotive enthusiast, enjoying the displays and drifting action.

On hand in our booth were two GTRs. The 778whp, twin TD06SH-20G monster from SP and our milder (for now) street GTR. We even had a little sneak-peek of the new "GReddy by Raybrig" lights we will be introducing at SEMA. All the positive feedback was great to hear! Thank you all that stopped by.

On the track the show was great. Some of the best Irwindale Raceway action we've seen in quite a while. Close tandem runs keep the crowds till the very end! Congratulations to the NOS energy drink Team on the Championship. And congratulations to Formula D in a great event. We look forward to more events next season.

GReddy GTR Turbo Kit Update! 778 WHP!


GReddy GTR Turbo Kit Update!
Couple weeks ago, we posted that one of our GReddy Master Tuner Shop, SP Engineering was able to tune our GReddy Turbo upgrade kit for GTR R35 to 700+whp with 643.9 ft/lbs at just 1.45kg/cm2. Well, They continued their research with the fuel management and by re-tuning it, they were able to achieve 778 whp with 738ft/lbs @1.6kg/cm2 boost!!!! This test was made on 4WD dyno and with 10-15% power loss correction, this beast is making close to 900hp engine power! Still completely stock engine! We just might have to call this kit GR900sp! This kit will be available with in a month through GReddy Master Tuner Shop.
Expect more updates on this kit as we continue to learn more about the capabilities of this GTR and it's VR38DETT
