The T1R 90R will be available in 304 stainless and full titanium versions. Both versions feature titanium tips for that tough burnt titanium look at the back. The exhaust features a 90mm diameter main pipe with 76mm piping after the mufflers.



The stainless T1R 90R will cost around $1500 USD when it’s out in spring of ‘09.





Type 1 Racing also announced their upcoming T1R SS front pipes. This Y-pipe is made from 304 stainless and features two 65mm diameter from the turbine outlet pipes into one single 90mm pipe.

Midnight Purple Love Affair

Posted By:  BPAuto @ Yesterday, 10:35 AM
I love this car. Is it wrong for me to love my work? I mean, I created it…so would that be like incest? I hope not, lol.





A little insight into my head: I’ve really enjoyed seeing the reactions of people regarding the two cars (white and purple) I prepared this year. Its been fascinating to compare my expectations of public perception between what I thought it would be versus what it actually is.  Although both GT-Rs function almost equally in all areas of driving/performance, I made both designs nearly polar opposites in terms of perception and image. Almost exactly as I planned, the two cars appealed strongly to two very different types of enthusiasts. Its fascinating how it has worked actually. Despite both cars being nearly the same, we’ve been able to have some people love one car and dislike the other, and vice versa.


Here’s how it sums up:


White car: Magazines and media are absolutely going crazy for the white car. I’ve never seen anything like the media frenzy the white car gets. It is aggressive, it pops out from any background in any lighting and the media loves it. For those exact same reasons, those with conservative ideals, purist ideals, or those that look at it as a would be daily driver dislike it. I will say this personally…I’ve driven on the wangan in Japan quite a few times times and I’ve been passed at high speeds by the most menacing of JDM tuned cars, and nothing I have ever seen is more hardcore than watching this white GT-R blast past me on the 405 freeway. The street presence the white car has at night is crazy…I cant quite put my hand on it, but my best guess as to why that is would be mostly because of how we painted the rear of the car (and since it’s white)… I think.


Purple car: Still very hot with media, but not as hot compared to the white car. Yet with purists, actual GT-R owners and those who would envision owning one of these cars, this one is the clear winner in those areas. The critics often choose the purple over the white car because its less flashy and more understated function whereas the white car seems to remind people of D1 or Time Attack because of the loud graphic design. This is the car more people can see themselves driving. It is my image of what I felt Mobil 1 would like for their brand. Something high end, luxurious and with a certain almost OEM+ quality. Tuner, but not too tuner looking if you will…


All in all, I love the feedback both the good and the bad. Its fascinating to see what design can do to people’s perception. Thats why I love this stuff. No one car can satisfy everyone, but between these two cars it looks like there might just be something for everyone. I know speaking for myself, that these two cars represent the two different styles and tastes I have. I still cant decide which one I like more, I love them both like children.


So these pics I’m sharing I took two days ago.  After another magazine shoot, I parked the car in the middle of the road and just took a couple of pics for myself. I thought I’d share them because I haven’t had many good pics of this car to share with everyone yet.

Two More Pics by Request

Posted By:  BPAuto @ Yesterday, 03:06 PM
EDIT:I just found out that Gene wasnt supposed to put that pic online yet, therefore I wasnt supposed to either. Sorry, but I had to remove that one motion shot of the purple car from here. If you happened to grab it in time, please do not post it online elsewhere. Its supposed to be kept private for a while longer (I just found out).


Gene Tjin shot the car recently for Mobil 1’s advertisement campaign and also some magazine use. Here is a picture he leaked on his blog.

Also some of you have been asking me for a better pic of the Top Secret cars. I was in a rush when I was at the garage but I did get one picture with a proper camera. Its hi-res below:

GT-RR.COM Midnight Purple GT-R - Best Exotic at SEMA!??? Crazy…

Posted By:  BPAuto @ Yesterday, 05:58 PM
This one shocked me…


http://blog.cardomain.com/blog/2008/11/best-of-sema-ex.html


Somehow the purple gt-r is currently in 2nd place behind the Lamborhini Reventon on cardomain.com’s top exotic cars at SEMA 2008.


I love the purple car (obviously) but this one really surprises me that it’s gone this far.


Will it stay #2? Go to #1? Who knows…voting is still happening. I’m just shocked to find the car in that list.
