Saw this on one of my other forums and thought it was pretty cool!

We campaign our own very successful race team and based on those efforts/merrits we are able to provide very capable and proven race cars to our customers.
A while back we had a couple of customers work with us to build two very nice EVO track cars:
A blue EVO IX which had a very extensive build: http://www.amsperformance.com/blue_demon.php
and A silver EVO X that got much of the same treatment: http://www.amsperformance.com/s_bullet.php
Well these two are at it again and this time they want to build a GT-R. Just like the two EVO’s prior they went and bought a BRAND NEW GT-R from the dealer and sent it over to us to work our magic. This car came to us with a whopping 74 miles on it.
Today we began the tear down process on this car. The slated parts lists has some mild but effective power upgrades but just AMAZING suspension, brake and chassis work!
We plan on doing a custom exhaust to the car to optimize weight savings along with some trans cooling and a Custom AMS tuned Cobb AP to increase the power.
That is where the easy stuff ends. Along with that a very comprehensive Roll cage and suspension and brake setup will go into the car. The best of the best will be used on this build. Look for some REALLY unique and professional grade components to make their way into this car. We really hope to break some new ground in the GT-R world with this build and bring some great suspension, weight reduction and chassis ideas to the GT-R community.
Stay Tuned!
Here are some pictures of how the car looked after it was unloaded from the transport:

Again this is going to be a TRACK ONLY project so the first step to take is to completely remove the interior so that a VERY comprehensive roll cage can go in its place. Safety is the one thing not to play around with.
On to the tear down!!
First step is to get a baseline on weight. So we tossed the big girl on the scales…3908!
Now that we have our stock weight…its time for a tear down!!
To build the cage the proper way we have to remove all interior pieces including the dash
And now the Dash comes OUT!
The doors are being replaced in lieu of some lighter carbon fiber counterparts. At 68 lbs each we stand to shed some serious LB’S!
Now to remove the dash bar for roll cage fabrication and installation.
Our once perfectly stock GT-R is now starting to look like its half way done on the assembly line
I will keep you posted as the build progresses. So far things are moving very quickly!

Computer controlled much?
Rear glass is out along with the front glass for cage prep
Getting ready for transmission removal!
Rear sub-frame is out for trans removal
Hovercraft mode!
Ready to ship to Shepherd trans for some upgrades 
Next on the agenda is to remove the fuel tank altogether as these gentleman have opted for a full fuel cell setup. Cage work is right around the corner
