Godzilla Stance | Nutek Series 708 Concave

When people talk about Japanese Supercars, there are certain cars that are always mentioned in the discussion. The Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota Supra RZ, Honda/Acura NSX-R, Lexus LF-A... these are but a few of the beastly offerings from overseas. This issue's focus is Nissan's R35 GT-R, and auto tuner SP-Engineering's incredible offerings for this machine.

The 2010 Nissan GT-R comes with 520 hp right off the dealer lot, and for most people, the power and looks of the factory car are enough. For others... further customization is a must. We got a chance to work with SP Engineering, who is one of the leading GT-R tuners here in the country. Pulling into their facility, we couldn't help but notice a gridlock of GT-R's, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and even a few McLaren MP-12C's, all awaiting the SP Engineering touch for increased performance. We knew we were in High Horsepower Heaven.

First up on the list of mods for the GT-R are upgraded wheels and tires. With a serious increase in horsepower in store, there was a need to give the car a bigger footprint to help transfer all this extra power to the road. Wanting to replace the factory 20x9.5 (255/40R20) FA and 20x10.5 (285/35R20) RA setup, SP Engineering turned to Nutek Forged Wheels for a custom built forged solution. After taking careful measurements of the GT-R and its massive brake calipers, Nutek was able to maximize the aggressiveness of the wheel design without compromising performance. This upgraded GT-R now rolls on Nutek 708 Concave Series 20x10 (285/35R20) FA and 20x12 (315/30R20) RA, adding a full 30mm of width to the tires on all four corners.

This GT-R also received SP Engineering's Stage 2 SPE750 package. What's this you ask? 800 horsepower and quarter mile track times under 10 seconds. Here's a short run down of what SP Engineering did for this GT-R:

SPE Spec 750 OEM Modified Turbochargers

* Garrett BB Cartridges

* Oil & Water AN Line/Fittings

* Jet Coated Manifolds

* SPE Spec GT Actuators

Recap!! | Bimmerfest 2013

Bimmerfest 2013 was a great success. With 1,960 cars, and over 4,700 attendees coupled with some seriously gorgeous So Cal weather, it was an event not to be missed. Taking the spotlight in our booth was our new Bavaria Wheels low pressure cast line. With it's clean lines, concave profile, and fitments to clear most performance brake calipers, it's the perfect way to showcase your vehicle and let you stand out from the crowd. There was something for every Bimmer fan at the show, from restored classics, to heavily modified modern day machines. It was the ultimate showcase for the Ultimate Driving Machine. We can't wait to see you next year at Bimmerfest 2014!

"Did you know"

Forging is one of the OLDEST known manufacturing methods around. When it comes to wheels, a forged wheel originates as a solid piece of metal referred to as a "billet" or "pre-forged slug". The process of forging involves taking a pre-determined piece of solid raw aluminum "raw material" and placing it into a forging press. The press then redefines the actual "shape" of this solid piece of material by forcing it to fill the cavity of a set of dies under extreme high heat and intense pressure, (usually 8,500 tons as a minimum) which compresses the material to form the "pre forged slug" mentioned above. This process results in a raw forging that is significantly stronger than the material properties of raw the aluminum we started with, due to the addition of grain structure and density that was not inherent in the material in its native form.

Using this process, we can forge parts into a wide variety of different profiles. This begins the creation of an infinite number of wheel designs.

Ever seen an old Japanese Samurai movie where you see the blacksmith hammering on a piece of metal against an anvil, eventually producing the final form shaped as a sword or blade? Well, part of that process creates an end result that is similar to the forging process in that it enhances the material properties of the metal through compression (creating grain density) which in turn gives it greater strength. Grain density allows us to achieve greater strength (think load bearing capacity) and resiliency (think resistance to cornering fatigue) with less material, thus saving weight, which is a key element of why we make forged wheels instead of heavier cast wheels, that are simply not as strong when compared "pound for pound" to a forged wheel.
