R35 GT-R Stage 1 ECU & TCU tune with launch and anti-lag

This R35 benefits from a thorough ECU and TCU calibration alongside a cat-back exhaust. The file lifts power from 288 kW to 360 kW at the wheels, with torque climbing from 464 Nm to 547 Nm on 98 RON. That's a solid 72 kW gain for a Stage 1 software package, with no additional hardware required beyond the exhaust.

The TCU recalibration sharpens shift logic and holds gears under load, while the rolling anti-lag system and launch control are both configured for closed-circuit use. Everything's tailored to the VR38 platform without stepping into the territory of upgraded turbos or internals.

It's a sensible baseline for customers chasing more from a stock-ish GT-R before committing to further hardware.

Common questions
Does this tune require upgraded injectors or fuel pump?

No. This Stage 1 file works with the factory fuel system on 98 RON, provided the cat-back exhaust is fitted.

Is the rolling anti-lag safe for street use?

It's calibrated for off-road and circuit use only. We recommend making it switchable if the car sees regular road duty.

What does the TCU calibration actually change?

Shift firmness, timing under load, and torque limiter tables are all revised to suit the higher output and improve response during hard driving.
