The Legend Behind the Build - Pending Sale 9-5-2024

This 2017 Nissan GT-R isn’t just another fast car—it’s a story of relentless pursuit for perfection, a testament to what happens when engineering prowess meets unyielding passion. Born from the vision of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, this GT-R has evolved into a 1,400 horsepower monster capable of rewriting record books and dominating drag strips.

The journey began with a simple question: What if we took an already legendary platform and pushed it beyond what anyone thought possible? The answer is the Ruckus Stage 6 build—a combination of top-tier components and meticulous tuning that results in a machine not just built to run but to run faster, stronger, and longer than anything else on the road.

With over $150,000 invested in the build, no corner was cut. The heart of this beast is a fully-built 3.8L Jotech engine, equipped with Manley rods, Diamond pistons, and a complete Ferrera valvetrain, all held together with ARP studs and a PRL billet oil pan. Paired with the Elite Prime Twin Turbo Kit, this engine delivers a staggering 1,277whp and 1,077wtq—figures that would make any enthusiast's heart race.

But it’s not just about raw power. The Sheptrans Stage 3 One-K Drag Pack transmission, coupled with a Wavetrac rear differential and DSS 1000+ Pro rear axles, ensures that all that power makes it to the ground efficiently, propelling this GT-R down the quarter-mile with brutal precision. The ETS Race front mount intercooler, Tial QRJ blow-off valves, and Greddy 94mm titanium exhaust system keep the engine cool and breathing freely, even under the most demanding conditions.

This GT-R isn’t just built for show; it’s built for speed. Capable of setting record times on the drag strip, it’s a car that lives up to its pedigree. The Motec M150 ECU, combined with Jotech’s custom Flex-Tune, allows for seamless transitions between fuel types—E85, 93OCT, and E98—so you can always extract the maximum performance. And with 9 different power maps at your fingertips, you have the flexibility to adapt to any situation, whether you’re cruising the streets or gunning for a personal best at the strip.

The Motec M150 ECU offers nine customizable power modes, ranging from 800HP to the full 1,400HP. Mode 0 enables burnout mode, shifting to rear-wheel drive only, while Mode 1 unleashes full race power with Motec’s advanced traction and launch control. Modes 2-9 allow you to adjust power output, adding 75-100HP with each step.

Record-Setting Capabilities

This specific build is no stranger to the drag strip. With the right driver, it has the potential to break into the 7-second range—a feat that only the most elite GT-Rs can achieve. The combination of its 1,400HP powerplant and precision-engineered drivetrain components make it a true contender for record-setting passes.

But it’s not just about straight-line speed. With custom-painted brake calipers, Advan GT wheels, and Sparco 4-point racing harnesses, this GT-R is just as capable on a road course, offering unparalleled grip and control. Whether you’re aiming to set new records or simply want to own a piece of automotive history, this GT-R is the ultimate weapon in your arsenal.
