Work in Progress: Custom Transmission Mounts & Wheel Fitment By Savini Wheels
Posted by Gruppe S
With the G-Force Dogbox Transmission Mated with our VQ sitting in the GTR, we are currently fabricating reinforced mounts to hold our 4-Speed in place. Currently its about half way done, just a few more reinforcement portions to make sure it can handle the pressures and high speeds of Drift and it will be ready. Made by one of our master techs, Adam Depner, its a sight to see in real life. More photos to come once its done.







Coming into the shop a day ago, "I was scratching my head" as I saw this wheel, it looked like something out of "Back to the Future 2". Its actually a test wheel given to us by Savini Wheels that is used to test fitment and offset on our GTR with tires, for a Special Wheel thats currently in the works, but more on that later...





You can check out some of the lightweight forged wheels available by Savini @ www.saviniforged.com/

Transmission Mount Part 2: COMPLETED!
by Gruppe

Transmission Mount is complete! After putting on a couple more support arms, our custom transmission mount is finished and on the GTR mating our G-Force 4-Speed Dog Box solidly on our chassis. This solid piece of welded metal is a piece of art for sure and seeing it in real life is a lot more bad *Censored**Censored**Censored* than these photos. Pictured below is Adam Depner the fabricator that made this piece. With this and the engine mounted down, we are one step closer to getting this bad boy sideways.

They got the GT-R & great looking great! Wow, I am so jealous!

[INFO]

[Slapshotnerd]

I think I'm going to stop by the shop tomorrow night to say hi to my favorite kimchee-eating team owner

[Bebop]

ok, both cars didn't pass tech for round 1

I'm not going to jump to conclusions, maybe one of there techs quit half way through the project or something

but i kinda feel me and others are owed a apology.

[ALI's DRIFT GARAGE]

Good job so far team Dynamic. Car is looking bad *Censored**Censored**Censored*, not the first time a team hasn't made a round. Atlanta should be fantastic!

[Edi]

what's the status with the R35 is it ready for round 2 in Atlanta ?
i'm looking forward to see it in action

[SCR_7M]

Worlds first huh? I think Blitz kinda handled that. But GC

[Bebop]

Was the blitz car at D1 round 2 this weekend?

Who ever makes a successful lap first wins IMO

[INFO]

Gruppe S received the first sleeved block for VR38 in the world, that we know of. (Gruppe S is) taking the final measurements to finalize this 4.3 liter stroker kit. The billet pistons engineer is getting the final specs and tolerances.

[INFO]

http://gruppe-s.blogspot.com/search?...&max-results=7

"Even the oil squirters are carefully drawn out to make sure that everything is perfect. No other piston manufacturers takes the stock crank, stroker crank, stock block, sleeved block, stock connecting rods, stroker connecting rods, and the oil squirters to design 1 set of pistons. This is going to be a truly engineered pistons exclusively for the GTR R35 and every inch of the piston will be machined. These pistons will have everything unnecessary machined out of them for maximum weight saving and the ability to handle 1600hp. I dare you to make it!

No kidding, I'm hoping they make everything available to buy eventually. I want to buy the jacket for when it gets a bit colder in the fall.

I've seen the shirts at the NJ/ATL events and bought one for a friend -- they're really nice quality and the design is good.
