Breaking SEMA News – New Brembo GT-R Racing Brakes

Publishsed by Dan on October 30th, 2009 | Posted in Product Info | No Comments »

Brembo is debuting these new GT-R racing brake kits at the 2009 SEMA show in Las Vegas.  Oh, that starts next week Muhahahahah.   These high-end GT-Rracing brake applications available for cars like Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, and others looking for the ULTIMATE in braking.  These are never before seen pictures outside of Italy.   The nickle plating is inspired by what F1 race teams use and the calipers are 10% lighter then the current Monobloc calipers on the market.  They are much stiffer, provide better modulation, and improved response over the older design.    Having personally owned a set of 6piston Monoblocks on my Porsche 996TT, that is a good chunk of weight!  These calipers feature vented piston inserts and are more thermo-mechanical resistance.

Brembo GT-R brakes used to be race calipers only that came from ALMS, Grand AM, World Rally, BTTC, JGTC,etc and made into full custom racing systems only.  These required the same care and maintenance that a pro level team would use shunning most enthusiasts from equipping their cars with the GT-R kits.  Even very experienced track day and amateur level racers were not equipped to monitor caliper temps and operating temps to provide the proper care and keep these systems properly tuned.  The NEW line of GT-R calipers were designed to provide every level of performance as these top level race calipers, but with superior plating for aesthetic longevity and corrosion resistance’s, and incorporate a twin seal design that eliminates the need for the additional maintenance of rebuilding. A simple set of caliper temp stickers, (also available through Vivid Racing) is all you need to ensure you are running within optimal operating temperatures during the most aggressive track outings.  Thus Brembo has released a GT-R kit that is street friendly and ready for the serious racer.

Brembo will be delivering these to the USA starting January 1 and preorders are available with deposits.  You can view all our current Brembo Brake Applications Here.

Eisenmann to Release Exhaust System for R35 GT-R

Publishsed by Cole Kelly on June 29th, 2009 | Posted in Product Info | No Comments »

Eisenmann has long been the premier exhaust system for European cars, but now they have gone a new direction. With the release of the exhaust for the Nissan R35 GT-R, Eisenmann will have produced their first system for a Japanesse vehicle.

With the help of KW suspension, Eisenmann imported a Nissan R35 GT-R into Germany to R&D a performance system like any other. With the help of a flow simulation machine, wave form analysis and flow testing of the actual car, Eisenmann was able to produce an exhaust system that gives the most power, best sound and still be a direct bolt on. To ensure their research was spot on, Eisenmann performed extensive testing at Hockenheimring as well as the Nurburgring.

Constructed of 304 stainless steel and featuring 120mm exhaust tips, each system is hand built bolt on constructed. With that attention to detail and one of a kind R&D, you can be sure this exhaust will be fitting for the Eisenmann name.

Keep an eye out for the release. Until then, check out Vivid Racing’s entire Eisenmann line here – http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/eisenmann-m-165.html
