Chuck’s 1000hp Nissan GT-R Build Update # 12 – roll cage

The Cage is now complete! Thanks to our friends at LRT Racing we were able to put in a very capable 8.50 Second certified roll cage for Chuck. At Chucks request we added in some nice door bar disconnects to make entry and exit into the car juuusssst a little easier. We still have some more painting to do on the floorboards but the cage design is done.

You will also notice on the drivers side two small upright bars running along the door bar. That is for the window net when the project is closer to completion ;)

Next on the agenda is installing that sweet carbon fiber roof in matte finish on the car smile.gif

on with the cage pictures!

Chuck’s 1000hp Nissan GT-R Build Update # 11

Here are some updates of Chuck’s 1,000 HP+ Nissan GT-R Build. The next step in the casting process is to have our design done in a prototype casting. This brings us to today. We now have a few sets of prototype manifolds that we can begin to develop full kits around, namely Tim Sanders and Chuck’s GT-R. With these manifolds we can not only create the remaining components for the kit but we can actually complete two cars and put down some real world numbers and move forward with kit production. Here are a few sample pictures. Keep in mind the prototype casting is not as clean looking as the final production piece but on the inside (where it counts) its top notch!
