GT-R R35 Brembo Brake Setup

Well, I decided on my brake set up for the project. I had my heart set on getting the GTR Brembo setup from a R35 but it was very difficult finding a set (I mean come on who really would replace these?) or they are close to $14,000 brand new from Nissan. I got these from AMS Performance in Chicago off one of their project cars. Let me just say I got them for a good deal. Some of you are wondering “How am I going to mount these badboys?” Well I have someone that has engineered brackets and a following post will follow soon about them. This build feels like its taking forever, so sit tight more updates will be comming soon!

Clutch/Flywheel setup is ready….

This is the ACT Clutch installed on the custom made flywheel made by my friends over at Neo’s Garage. This is the first known setup that will mate up the 6 speed Infiniti G37 trans to a VK56DE!

AIM MXL Strada Cluster

I got my AIM MXL Strada cluster in today! Now I can start working on my dash. This unit even feels like quality when you hold it. Its heavier then I thought. There are so many features in this unit. The MXL Strada is a digital dash and gauge, that includes the harness to connect to 12V power and your supported ECU. The MXL Strada will display any available channels and high and low alarms can be configured.  The MXL Strada has an lap time input for adding the optional lap time receiver and transmitter.With standard features including a wide, fully configurable display, six configurable alarm LED’s, and backlight, the MXL is a stylish, powerful display for performance vehicles. I can’t wait to see this thing in action!

Happy Holidays!

V8altima.com would like to wish all of you a Happy Holiday Season!
