New Tsukuba Record for Amuse Phantom R35
Earlier this month the Amuse crew brought their R35 Phantom GT-R back to Tsukuba Circuit for another go at setting a new R35 lap record.
With the Amuse Hi-tech ROM, exhaust system, and newly increased boost levels the car is now outputting 610ps through a Dynapack.
Over 600 hp with light tuning? And the buzz said it would be extremely hard to modify this car. Awesome.
With Tanabe-san behind the wheel again, the car brought a best lap of 59.061, a few tenths quicker than the Mine's car. There is no doubt that the car is easily capable of breaking into the 58 second range in its current state.
Actually, I was at Tsukuba yesterday for another Amuse test session/track meet, but Instead of the R35, this time they brought out the Fairlady Z Super Leggera 380RS.
It was an awesome day. Full coverage will be up tomorrow.
Man, I don't care what anyone says; that Z33 looks a million times nicer than the R35.

Awesome. Looking forward to your coverage tomorrow.
When you say 610 through a dynapack, is this estimated crank or what it made at the hubs? Any idea how much boost this car is now running?

Chuck,
From what I can gather from the article in Option it appears that it made 610ps at the hubs but there are not any details given on that. It also says peak boost is 1.25kg/cm.
