    Gauging Interest: Carbon ceramic brakes

    Hey Guys, I know a fair bit about CCM brakes but my brakes Manager knows a lot more than I do. He has worked for numerous professional race teams in NASCAR, Indy and other series. His knowledge is much better than mine so I have asked him to answer some of your questions. His answers are in...

    LEO & Your GT

    After the completion of our GT we decided to take it out for a quick spin around the block just just to make sure she was happy :). Turns out she was! We made a few passes up and down the street, of course this was on a Saturday and we're in a very industrial neighborhood so there really...

    Need Fire suit and helmet Recommendations

    When it comes to racing helmets there is no substitute for test fitting. I have had about 10 different helmets over the years for numerous types of motorsport. Dirtbikes, street bikes, race cars, go-carts, open face, closed face...I have quite the collection! Some of my helmets have been a...

    Has anyone ever rebuilt their motor and converted to a normally aspirated setup?

    I am pretty sure that I could make something like this work. I know a guy who converted a Nissan Titan motor (with drive by wire throttle control) to an individual throttle body setup. I have no idea what it would cost but I'm pretty positive we could make this work.

    Gauging Interest: Carbon ceramic brakes

    OK Gents, As many of you know we developed an aftermarket carbon ceramic brake kit for the Nissan GT R and it worked extremely well. The rotors were half the weight of factory and overall performance was truly amazing. We put them through an extreme test in the Targa Newfoundland rally and...

    GT Questions-What Would You Change?

    We do offer upgraded clutches and brake upgrades as well. We have two different clutches, one which is very much like standard however a bit heavier duty and reduces the pedal travel by a full inch so you can actually feel the clutch engagement. The second clutch we call our "race clutch." It...

    You 'gotta' be KIDDIN' me!

    Very cool but quite possibly the ugliest design I could imagine. It's like this guy has his Corvette for fun and had his Ram and boat parked out front of the house, saw all three and thought hmmmm...I wonder if I could combine all of my passions? Two thumbs up for the engineering and...

    So You want To Be A Rally Driver?

    I love rally racing! In my opinion it is the ultimate test of what a car can handle. I've never participated in a dirt rally before but I have seen quite a few major wrecks during the Targa rallies that we compete in. I'll never forget one team we met prior to the beginning of one of the...

    Gear change noise!

    Hi there Mr. White, Just wanted to jump in and offer a little information on this. During the testing of the 3.90 gear changes Ricardo informed us that there might be a little gear noise on some cars. We asked why, and they explained that because of the cut of the gear, some cars might...

    White SVT Raptor

    Yes, we deflated to the tires to about 20 psi and it worked very well. Just left it in 4 hi and it went everywhere and never gave the slightest indication that it was struggling for traction. We could stop anywhere in the dunes, uphill, in the soft stuff, in a whoop road...As soon as we wanted...

    White SVT Raptor

    I thought I would bring this topic back up because I have now had the pleasure of going offroading in an F-150 Raptor. This past weekend I went to Glamis for some post Thanksgiving dirtbiking and offroading. For those of you who don't know what Glamis is, imagine miles and miles and miles of...

    2009 Nissan GT R race car

    About 9 months ago we built this car for a customer of ours who wanted to use his GT R at weekend open track days. He has driven the car about 20 times and he has been able to set some pretty amazingly fast lap times with it. At some tracks he is within seconds of the Porsche 997 cup cars lap...

    The Nissan 370-Z

    Congratulations on a great car! I really like the 370's. I used to think that the interior was very small on the 350 and not to mention how cheap it looked. With the cheapo plastic door panels and dashboard components you can totally tell where they cut corners on cost. However, on the 370...

    Right color combo

    Jeff- We also had the pleasure of helping contribute to this game. They needed a Ford Mustang for their sound development so we loaned them one of our shop cars. Unfortunately they weren't interested in putting the car itself in the game but when you rev the engine on Mustang GT in the video...
