Down Time, But In The Mean Time...
by Kerryann De La Cruz

So the last you may or may not have heard through the grapevine or through my social media outlets, I had spun a rod bearing and got pretty close to blowing my engine.
 
If you haven’t heard, I’ll keep it short and sweet. I was running a test day back in November 2011 at Autoclub Speedway, I heard a “clacking” noise after the last set of “S” turns, I then subsequently killed the power almost immediately and coasted it in to the pits as to not cause any additional internal damage which I knew had likely occurred.
 
 
 
 
The car went strait back to Cobb Tuning SoCal for diagnosis. After opening up the oil filter they could clearly see the bearing material in the oil filter, and after further evaluation of the block and internals they could clearly see that it also was not a lost cause. I had fortunately saved the engine by reacting upon my instincts and shutting the car off immediately, it was a bittersweet moment. The moment where I knew I was going to have to spend a chunk of money to get the engine re...

SEMA 2010 -- NissanRaceShop.com R32 GT-R
Posted November 10, 2010 By Scott Vanderheide
   

As another year passes, so does all of the hard work and preparation in building a car for the annual SEMA Show held in Las Vegas, NV.  We came out this year to represent with Kerryann De La Cruz's Time Attack R32 GT-R as a feature vehicle for Seibon Carbon.

This project could not have been completed without the support of Kerryann's valuable sponsors:

-- K&W Auto Body created this beautiful work of art using DeBeer Refinishing and House of Kolor paint

-- Enkei wheels provided a set of NT03+m wheels 18x10.5 +30

-- Falken Tire came in with a fresh set of sticky rubber -- RT615K 265/35/18

-- Buddy Club USA showed their support with a pair of their P-1 Racing Bucket seats, rails, and harnesses

-- Seibon Carbon eagerly threw in a TB Style Carbon Fiber Hood

-- Cobb Tuning Socal will be doing the tuning on this RB26DETT -- Jon says "it can has fast!"

-- Robispec performs suspension setup and roll cage welding

-- KW sets this ride up with coilovers to make it turn

-- Mike Kojima of MotoIQ providing Expert Consultation on this build.

It was a great turn out at this year...

Dry Lake Bed Photoshoot
Posted August 25, 2010 By  
   

After only a week of getting the car complete at the paint shop, we felt it would be the perfect time and opportunity to take it out for a quick photoshoot using some of the local scenery.  So we headed out to the desert in the Lucerne Valley where the vast yet beautiful dry lake bed awaited.  We also brought along a friend who just so happens to be a professional photographer.  What are the odds we would find such a perfect spot and the right person who could capture it.  Some may say it was planned...we like to think it was fate...
