Sandwiched into a busy Tokyo city block is the headquarters of Nissan Motorsports International, known as Nismo. Nismo’s Super GT racing team, Omori Factory customer service center, parts development team, and main office are all housed in this complex.
With a 3.4-liter inline-six engine behind the driver, the Cayman R produces 330hp (10hp more than the Cayman S) and can reportedly do 0-62mph in 5-seconds flat.
The annual SEMA Show is coming soon (as in next Monday) to the Las Vegas Convention Center and OR will be there to bring you live daily updates from the show floor.
The GT L.S.D. Pro features an externally adjustable initial torque setting. With this capability, the LSD can be set trackside to compensate for power, tires or even the difference between a drift day and a track day.
Like a good set of tires, drivetrain is an often-overlooked area of car tuning. Many obsess over blowers, exhausts and wheels but when it comes time to get that project buttoned up, the cheapest clutch kit is usually shoved in.
The ECON is designed to increase torque, improve gas mileage and clean exhaust emissions (less CO and HC) by supplying up to 130% higher voltage (when compared to OEM).
With their own in-house project GT-R pushing more than 720whp, GReddy knows a thing or two about injecting the twin-turbo V6 VR38DETT engine with more speed.
After waiting for the temperature sensor to normalize back to 83-degrees F, we completed another 20-second burn cycle at the same distance. Our new ending temperature was now 95-degrees F. That’s a 54% reduction in heat.
Ralliart’s statement is a bit ambiguous about whether Ralliart itself is closing its doors. For certain, they are stopping certain business activities for now and scaling back.
The NT05 is Nitto’s latest maximum performance offering. With a low UTQG rating of 200, it’s matched up against the usual SCCA Street Touring standouts like the Falken RT-615, Yokohama Advan Neova, Toyo R1R, Hankook RS-3 and Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1.
Digital dash displays are replacement instrument clusters often used in racecars since they can integrate so many information displays into one place, eliminating the need for numerous gauges.
When you’re intent on building the ultimate street car, you’re going to need the best brakes to haul down 1,500whp. The best off-the-shelf bolt-on big brake kits use what is known as a monoblock caliper.
Faster steering gives a car quicker response and is more in tune with a driver’s reactions behind the wheel. Some cars have aftermarket offerings of new, faster steering gears that replace the guts in the rack but those cars are rare.
Titanium doesn’t transfer heat as well as steel. Most cars use steel for the brake pad backing plates due to the cheaper nature of steel. By switching to a titanium brake pad backing plate, less heat will be transferred from the rotor and pad to the piston and caliper.
The inner bolt has a magnetic tip to attract metal particles and can be unscrewed from the outer bolt. The outer bolt is spring loaded with a trap, so the inner bolt can be removed and inspected for shavings without dripping a single drop of oil.
Dzus fasteners are quick release hardware originally used in airplanes as well as racecars. One of the most popular, Dzus-type fasteners are not the only type of quick release hardware out on the market.
When using some lightweight hoods or gutting your factory one for weight, the heavy latch mechanism sometimes just has to go. When this happens, you need hood pins.
One of the easiest ways to drop weight out of your car is to get a lightweight battery. With no noise or ride quality effects, lightweight racing batteries are some of the few racing parts that can be used regularly in street cars.
Used in Le Mans prototypes and many other pro racing series, Wiggins connectors are lightweight, can be quickly opened with one hand and will never blowout or burst.
