MONO Forged wheels for the GTR R35

Posted by Gruppe S On Monday, March 15, 2010 0 comments
The GTR is a very difficult vehicle to put on wheels, since the Nissan engineers designed the car with very particular specifications. Stock wheel size is 20” and in order to compensate for the large 15” calipers we need to run a minimum of 19” wheels. With special sizing needed for this application, Hankook brings to the plate their world famous RS-3 tires, rear size 305/30ZR19.

For this application we needed custom offsets in order to accomplish the maximum width and we needed lightweight forged wheels.

Wheel Specs
MONO Forged wheels by Savini.
19x8.5 +10 Offset Front
19x11 +15 Offset Rear

Savini has really brought the best product to the plate. These wheels are the prototypes that were custom machined from those futuristic things we put up on the blog a week or so ago. The real deal will be here in 2 weeks.

BTW check our their website, you can see what the wheels will look like on their wheelbuilder. We even entered our custom orange wheel, and here it is. Don't try to copy our originality.

Automotive Art: A "Lamp" History of Knobs and Pedals

Posted by Gruppe S On Monday, March 15, 2010 0 comments
Take a good look boys, you might just see your shift knob or pedal set on these specially made lamps. Adorning this custom machined lamp base are such well-known brands as Razo, Sparco and Momo. Used as a show piece at the SEMA Show for Scion, these lamps have found a new home here at Dynamic Autosports.

Quick Shot: Heritage and Honey.

Posted by Gruppe S On Tuesday, March 09, 2010 0 comments
On any given day, my desk is cluttered with all sorts of nonsense but today was special and I had to take a shot of this.

First off, Seibon Carbon and Import Tuner Magazine just released their new 2010 Calendar, and it somehow landed on my desk.. First off I have to say props to Import Tuner and Seibon for making an amazing calendar with some beautiful ladies gracing the sheets.

Secondly the Steering Wheel from our Drift GTR is out of the chassis and begins its life as the most amazing paper weight I have ever seen. Just Kidding. Its going to be put in our our Trophy Case and Team History case in the Main Room at Dynamic Autosports Headquarters. Come on by and it out!

As for the Seibon Calendars, if you want one.... (and believe me its worth it, mines already hanging on my wall) come on by to Dynamic Autosports / Gruppe-S.com in Lake Forest and I'll give you one, while we have them available, alot of them have already been spoken for by our crew but there are a few left so act now!!!!

Transmission Mount Part 2: COMPLETED!

Posted by Gruppe S On Monday, March 08, 2010 0 comments
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 ass 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.

Work in Progress: Custom Transmission Mounts & Wheel Fitment By Savini Wheels

Posted by Gruppe S On Tuesday, March 02, 2010 0 comments
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/
