This past weekend our team loaded up our newly refreshed Copper super and headed to Texas for TX2K12. We’ve attended this meet since it’s inception and this year had the largest spectator attendance of any prior years. With a great showing of Supra’s, 2JZ swapped vehicles and a large amount of GTR’s in attendance this event has evolved from being a yearly Supra meet to a tuner and super car shootout. In addition the large number of Supra’s and GTR’s the Lamborghini Gallardo TT contingent was there with a strong presence. The dyno day crew did the unbelievable and managed to dyno over 80 cars on 2 dynos over the course of a day, with many breaking the 1,000hp barrier.

Drag Racing was held on Saturday and Sunday, with many records broken including the GTR drag racing record with an 8.63. The Titan Copper Supra seemed to be the talk of the drag days and with testing commencing it showed great promise. The whole community watched as Team Titan worked aggressively at making sure the car was able to make runs and continued to improve the new combination. When the first full 1/4 mile pass was made it yielded a 7.59 @ 186 with the doors literally flying off. While the crew worked to repair and service the car between rounds, a pair of replacement doors was borrowed from fellow competitor Ross Baird so the car would attempt another run. We want to thank Ross for his great sportsmanship and hope to return the favor in another fashion in the future! This year was a great event as the pictures below show, and we look forward to seeing even more people out at TX2K13 next year!

This weekend proved to be a busy weekend for our tuner Shane T. In addition to remotely tuning the E.Kanoo Racing Supras to another winning race weekend in Bahrain, he was also in Texas at the Texas Mile working with this wild Ford GT. This particular Ford GT featured a custom twin turbo setup and set a new standing mile record of 257.7mph with a half mile speed over 200! This is an incredible feat, and it you take a look at the video below, you can see the run looked almost effortless. Shane T is responsible for tuning our drag race projects as well as every Twin Turbo Gallardo we’ve built to date using Motec’s world class engine management system and accessories.

Building on the phenomenal success of the Albins 1100 HP 1st gear upgrade for R35 GTR, the long awaited release of a matching 2nd to 6th gear set was recently rolled out. The Albins high-shockload gear “ground” tooth profile rather than the conventionally hobbed tooth delivers tooth profile perfection with zero noise. Robotic CMM scanned tooth profiles deliver perfect gear mesh with substantial increases in power holding capability. Recently tested by Ivey Technologies in the USA, and found to have less tranmission noise than the OEM transmission, the Albins 2-6th gear set is a must-have for highly tuned R35 GTRs with power nearing the 1100 HP mark. The Albins product can be found in cars such as Europe’s fastest R35 GTR, built by fellow Albins dealer Severn Valley Motorsport. Available at an industry leading price point, the Albins range of R35 GTR products all offer the significant advantages that come with Isotropic polishing and gear profile grinding.

Albins has also released its “Albins Gear Retention System” that eliminates the need for Factory or Upgraded Circlips to retain gears in the GR6 Transmission. The Albins system offers substantial benefits in location and rigidity of the gear/shaft interface at power levels approaching 1100hp as well as reducing costs invoved in purchasing upgraded circlips in an attempt to better retain gears.

1-6th Synchro Gear set (includes primary shaft and 1-6 gears)
Ratios –Std 3.36 (14:47) – 1.90 (21:40) – 1.32 (25:33) – 1.03 (30:31) – 0.83 (35:29) – 0.66 (44:29)

We recently attended the Sarasota Exotic Car Fest which took place on beautiful St. Armands circle in Sarasota,FL. This was our first time making the trip to Southwest Florida for the show, but it surely won’t be the last. Hundreds of great exotic cars filled the famed circle, from Lamborghini to McLarens, and the show even featured 2 special edition Bugatti Veyrons. The highlight of the weekend for us was famed Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni stopping by to take a closer look at our Twin Turbo Gallardo and voicing his approval, we we’re hoping to have him test drive the car but he had a flight out immediately following the event.

This is the all new Carbon Fiber Driveshaft from DSS, this shaft is designed to be installed with out the Drive Guibo joints as a direct fit to the 3 finger flanges on the car. This shaft is only 4.2lbs and with out the Guibos it will let the trans shift faster than you though the car could. there is a few small modifications to make it work. The 3 finger mounts on each end will have to have the threads drilled out (need a 15/32 drill) The shaft will have studs in the end for the Diff that nuts will secure it to the mount and on the Engine end it will have Allen head bolts. Not a bad job to do at all and saves allot of weight. The tube we using was a special wound High Modulus one that will handle 1000Hp and 1000lbs of torque. shafts are made to order and take 7-12 days.

Aeromotions Inc. announced the launch of their new GT-R R35 splitter. Over a year of computer modeling, analysis, and track testing led to the unique design. While the top of the splitter appears normal, the bottom of the splitter has CNC cut venturis to feed air into the stock GT-R front venturis. This system works to enhance the great engineering already present in the R35 GT-R, while eliminating some of the factory under steer.

The three-piece splitter is constructed from Amarin Fiber, a revolutionary composite that has strength-to-weight properties similar to carbon-fiber, but adds much greater impact and wear resistance. The piece is perfect for endurance-racing applications. The splitter mounts directly to the frame and air-dam with the included stainless steel hardware. Installation is simple, and individual segments of the splitter can be replaced in the event of damage. Made in the USA. Off-Road use only.

MSRP $1,499.00
