We have had so many requests over the last 12 months, we have decided to extend our carbon fibre range for the Mighty Nissan GTR.

since the lauch of our wide body progamme, we have had our loyal GTR dealers requesting us to manufacture a replacement roof, as the product that is currently on the market is just not good enough, when you spend $5000 dollars on a branded roof you expect perfection not imperfection, which is what we have seen with a few of the so called market leading product, so we have decided to manufacture our own and its now available for sale.

Other parts that we decided to manufacture is our very own Bonnet, bootlid and doors for all the race inspired track GTR that are looking for the ultimate light weight product, the doors are particuarly special, especially when fitted with our quick release hinges, they are an absolute must have if your looking to save weight.

We have been looking at the Liteblox product for a while now, but for some reason that all we had been doing, looking an admiring, but after a conversation with one of our customers in Texas who is building one of our carbon fibre GTR GT3 conversions we decided to get in touch to discuss the build and see what they could do for us … and I must say, why on earth didn’t we do it sooner, because the product is absolutely amazing.

For our GTR build they recommended their LB28XX The flagship high performance carbon fibre battery, in a thermally & mechanically decoupled CFK housing with implemented bracket, intelligent electronics with integrated, active kill-switch, it really is a work of art.

If you are thinking of reasons to upgrade to a liteweight carbon battery, lets assist with what this epic battery has to offer apart from the crazy weight savings over a normal car battery, these are just some of the amazing features this battery has to offer.

1, huge weight saving over a standard battery, saves 17-22kg (38-48lbs) to a standard starter battery

2, Plug’n’play replacement – fit for hardly any production car

3, Wireless interface for wireless data monitoring via Smartphone App

4, Maintenance-free due to intelligent BMS-System (over-/undervoltage, over-/undertemperatur, overcurrent & short ciruit)

5, Innovative & smart electronics for kill-switch via Smartphone App in two different programs: 1.) I.K.O.S. – Intelligent Kill-Operation-Switch: effective disconnection of the LITE↯BLOX from the vehicle due to overload or via Smartphone (emergency or extended sitting periods), similar to the common FIA kill-off switch 2.) A.V.A.T. – Active Vehicle Anti Theft:

6, while all consumers are still being provided with energy, the LITE↯BLOX will instantly shut down at any theft attempt

7, latest premium cell technology (A123 ANR26650M1B V3)

8, rapid charging (optimal für Start-Stop)

9, marginally self-drain when not in use (sitting time >250days)

10, fail safe due to innvative concept and premium materials

11, DMSB homologated (Lithium Ion battery RLB2016-27/17)

12, tested in professional motorsport

The fact its a carbon battery along with the weight saving alone make it worth the upgrade but a must have for any carbon fibre junkie, but with all he other features it really is a must have.

Get in touch with us for more details on this amazing product, and watch out for Davids install on his GTR GT3 road racer thats coming soon.


The 8th & 9th of November will be a couple of days we remember quite fondly, as two builds that we have collaborated on took to the track in anger and we are pleased to say they did pretty well.

We have discussed David Haagsma on a few our our blog posts over the past few months as we have been watching his GTR come to life, Scott over at Sicchops being the man responsible for updating the look for the 2018 season fitting our aero kit and totally transforming the look, and with David's finishing touches we couldn't wait for him to hit the track and he didn't disappoint.

Considering its a new look its also a new set up, same amazing engine spec built by the GTR gurus SP Engineering, but a new JRZ suspension set up, along with new RPS Carbon brakes, and other bits of carbon aero to enhance the wider look David came 4th overall in the Super Battle class, and considering there is over 80 cars, thats pretty impressive, we are really looking forward to seeing the car back out in February 2019 next year when it competes at Circuit of the Americans ( COTA)

Another one of collaborations to hit the track which we must admit came as a bit of a surprise, albeit a nice one, the Sleepers Speed Shop Porsche 997 GT3R belonging to Chad Kobayashi, being driving at Buttonwillow by Tommy Contino, who managed a very respectable 7th in class.

We supplied the aero kit for this particular build back in January 2017, and its one we are quite fond of, the fact that we got to work with Len Higa the owner of Sleeper Speed Shop in California was a big pull for us as the company just ooze quality, and the fact that Len is so highly respected, so its always going to be a very special Porsche to us, the fact that Chad has just the very best in the way of parts on this 997 Turbo-R its the pinnacle.

We offer these aero kits for both the Nissan GTR and the Porsche 997 Chassis in various engine configurations, the 997R styling kit is only available in light weight carbon fibre, where as the Nissan GTR aero kit we manufacture in carbon fibre and also GRP, although our GRP is a woven cloth over the old school matt strand, so still a light weight and super strong product without the premium price of carbon.

Our parts for these conversions are extensive, we have our own JRZ or Bilstein suspension that is built to our own specification, big brake upgrades for the serious HP hunters as well as custom exhausts, which includes full bespoke inconel systems, wheels are another product we offer with forged aluminium, forged magnesium, with a magnesium and carbon fibre hybrid wheel also available for the customers looking for the pinnacle super light weight wheel product.

Get in touch with us if you like the look of any of these conversions for road or track use, we can supply all the parts to build as well get these cars put together, we work with a highly skilled teams that love nothing more than building these stunning creations.

For the UK market we have the Speedwells 997 Turbo-R thats under going some serious modification to not only the colour change but the power output too, so thats one to watch out for early next next, and we are also looking to get our own BMW Z4 GT3 V8 back on track, watch this space.
