Wanna Go Fast – Runway 1/2 Mile Event at Jumbolair in Ocala

January 30th, 2015 Comments off



WannaGoFast held their most recent event at the Jumbolair Airstrip in Ocala, FL. Jumbolair is home to actor John Travolta (you can even see his monster 707 in the background of a few of the pictures) and provided a great airstrip for half mile racing less than an hour and a half from metropolitan Orlando. We used the event to debut and begin testing on the recently completed FH Racing Supra and a few of our clients vehicles, and everyone involved had a great time. We hope to see Wanna Go Fast back in Florida in the fall so that we can invest additional time in getting our own house cars dialed in for the event.

Titan Motorsports releases R35 Nissan GTR Transmission Brace

January 14th, 2015 Comments off

The Nissan GTR has proven to be a phenomenal build platform for tuners since it’s debut in 2008, however with increased horsepower its achilles heel has been the GR6 transmission. The factory GR6 aluminum casing have been found to flex under heavy loads, a problem amplified by the use of stickier tires causing mis-shifts or catastrophic failures of the gear box.

The Titan Motorsports GTR Transmission Brace is CAD designed, laser cut from a combination of 1/4 and 1/2 steel, and Tig welded in a structural jig then powder coated. The mount incorporates multiple points of contact with the factory castings at crucial points to reduce torsional flex under load. In addition to multiple points of contact in the differential and axle portion of the gearbox, the brace features integrated solid mounts that replace the factory rubber mounts and providing an additional reduction of flex. Installation requires removal of the transmission from the car, taking this into account it can still be completed in a matter of hours and requires no permanent modification to the vehicles chassis.
