Gutting the 2009 Nissan R35 GT-R – Part 1
February 22, 2009
One of the first stages of gutting a race car is to check your starting weights. We loaded it with a full tank of gas to see how much the car weighed, and well, as expected the GT-R is no Georges St. Pierre. Godzilla is a very fitting name for this car as it weighed in at a whopping 3,900 pounds full of fuel.
When building a race car the ultimate goal is to achieve the best power to weight ratio possible. Over the next few days we will be stripping our GT-R down and weighing all of the components that come out of it. We will be weighing the doors, fenders, hood, trunk and everything else to see what we can do to lighten up those parts of the car as well. Read more
Front and Rear G35 Coupe Camber Kit – Installation Articles
February 21, 2009
We’re enthusiasts here at STILLEN, just like yourself, and whenever possible we like to get our hands dirty, especially when it gives us the opportunity to install some STILLEN products, and get a real-world feel for them, just like you our customer will experience.
I drive a 2004 G35 Coupe, and after upgrading to 20″ wheels and installing an Eibach Pro-Kit and STILLEN Sway Bars, the resulting issue with camber on the front and rear was evident immediately, and I quickly realized that despite the fresh new rubber smell of the BFGoodrich’s I had just installed, these tires would be short-lived if I didn’t look for a camber solution ASAP.

Anzo Headlight & Taillight Installation – 2007 Tundra
February 2, 2009
A few years ago the DOT (Department of Transportation) cracked down on all of the replacement light manufacturers due to their non-compliance. After that a few companies have risen up and shown themselves to be of superior quality.
Because of the history of poor fitting, sealing, and cracking problems I have seen over the years I was skeptical about the overall performance and quality of aftermarket lights. Recently we started working with a headlight manufacturer known as Anzo and they were confident that I would be nothing less than impressed.
We figured we’d put them to the test… Read more
