NISSAN GT-R 2012
An (almost) luxury car
Since its launch in 1969, the Nissan
GT-R has had more than 10 new
versions, with 3 and 5 doors and
coupé bodyworks and more than 5
generations. In just a few years
this model has managed to
become a legend of motorsport.
Every version has many and
important improvements, and we
expose the new version, the GT-R
2012 and we will explain the new
improvements.
The first thing that is improved is the power with the same motor version. A V6 engine block,
with 3,799 cc and twin turbo that offers powers since 480 cv to 550, it should be remembered
that the last GT-R version had 485 cv without more possibilities of engines.
In paragraph aesthetic, the GT-R does not have many changes. It remains the 3 door’s
bodywork, rear spoiler and the characteristic circular headlights.
The torque has been increased from 612 Nm to 632 Nm between 3.200 and 5.800 RPM,
getting more torque on low revolutions and more power on high revolutions.
For other hand, the consumption has
been reduced in 0.2 liters/100 km,
however remains in 11.8 liters/100 km,
low numbers if we compare with the
intake of Bugatti Veyron super sport that
is 25 liters for 100 km. Other important
point is the injection that has been
improved, as the exhaust system and
admission valves, all this to obtain better
acceleration.
V6 engine block, with turbos on the sides.
The mechanics change has been, apart
from the engine, a new gearbox with
double clutch and the new Valvuline
oil, also, the luxury packet called
“Track Pack” has the carbon-ceramic
brakes. This pack was the responsible
to do 7’24’’ in the green hell
(Nürburgring Nordschleife), is clear
that this car have the perfect
combination between to be a car of
the streets, and to be a car to the
circuits.
In conclusion, the new Nissan GT-R 2012 is the most serious bet from Nissan to have a car in
the Sports car division, with one price between the 99.490 €, that is the price of the GT-R R24
2011 in Spain. With this price, 18 times less that the Bugatti (1.830.000 €), we are in front of
one of the best car in the world.
In this table, you can see the principal features between new and old version.

Frame Nathan’s Williams
This is the new bmx
frame Nathan’s
Williams signature
United Mothership
frame. When working
on this frame strength
and durability were
always at the top of
our list, with the way
Nathan rides
constantly trying to
lighten up a frame just didn’t make sense. What we have ended up with here is the strongest
frame we have produced by thickening up key stress areas, adding custom ovalized down
tubes & chain stays for dent resistance, an all new gusset area combined with a longer head
tube to provide a
stronger junction,
and then by
trimming down
areas that can be
done so safely, have
come up with a what
we feel is a perfect
strength to weight
ratio.
This is the Ambassador Frame is the first frame offering from Cardinal Bikes. The frame features a laser cut 5mm thick semi vertical drop that accommodates a 14mm axle. The frame construction is made up of a double butted cromoly top tube, offset internal gusseted down tube, tapered chain and seat stays with a high seat stay bridge, and a curved tubular chain stay bridge to accommodate lager tire sizes. The frame’s head tube, BB and seat tube have been externally machined. Other features include seat stay mounted removable brake mounts, laser cut logo on the drop outs, engraved logo on the seat tube available in full post weld heat treatment and partial Heat treatment.
Sizes: 20”, 20.5”, 20.8”, 21” Rear end length: 13.5” Head tube angle: 75° Seat tube angle: 71° Bottom bracket height: 11.6” Bottom Bracket style: Mid Drop outs: 14mm Brake mounts: Seat stay, removable Gyro: Removable mounts Weight: 4.5 pounds full heat treat, Partial heat treat 4.8 pounds
GABE BROOKS
Name: Gabe Brooks Age: 25 Location: South Central, Los Angeles, California Sponsors: Kink Bikes, Demolition Parts, Quintin, OSS
Gabe Brooks grew up in South Central Los Angeles, where, as he put it, “I started gang banging when I was 11 years old and I fired my first pistol that same year.” And although he always rode BMX, after some hard life lessons, Gabe ditched the gang life altogether and today he fires out gaps and rails instead. His energy and enthusiasm is invigorating, his personality is hilarious, and I think his story is inspiring.
Would you mind describing where you’re from for me? I’m from 53rd and Normandie—the land of the gang bang.
Tell me a little about how you got started riding. Well, it started off in ’95 watching X Games and just kind of jerking around on my bike after gymnastic practice. A good friend of mine named Ronald taught me a lot after riding with him over some time, also Ron McCoy, who is an old school flatlander—he taught a lot of us in the crew a lot of stuff.
I heard that you used to be a gymnast. It’s pretty crazy watching you use that stuff to help get out of falls. Yeah man, it’s real helpful staying flexible
and light on my toes for those no win situations.
Being in good shape seems to be pretty important to you and it obviously helps with your riding, as well. Yeah man, I’m more of a calisthenics person. I believe that you are your own gym and also calisthenics sticks with you!
Do you want to talk about gang banging while you were growing up? Well, as I caught the end of the ’80s and early ’90s I became accustomed to crip’n in it’s finest. Even in the mid ’90s it was booming! I started gang banging when I was 11 years old and I fired my first pistol that same year. I witnessed so much sh-t happen; murders, stabbing, gang beatings, drugs, and what sticks with me until this day—which is hustling. Nowadays it’s not the same because the new generation don’t have anything to stand for, opposed to back then, when race was a big difference. I hear Mexicans say, “my nigguh” and it’s like, “Ok, do this mother f-cker see me standing here?” I know you don’t mean it that way, but hey, watch your f-cking mouth around a real nigguh.
Where did gang banging end up getting you? Gang banging messed my scholarship up and I can’t get a job due to gang activities that got me in jail—it got me nowhere! There was nothing positive that I remember about gang life!
Were you still riding at all while you were getting in trouble? I juggled it in between, but I did manage days to ride our local trail spot (The Flats) when the police were too hot in the hood that’s where I would go.
It seems like once you started to focus on riding you picked up a few sponsors and things kinda took off for you pretty quickly, how was the last year for you? Man, last year was awesome. People accepted me for who I was and loved the fact that I channeled my energy towards grinding and the sincerity that I have for BMX. It’s crazy because Pat Wang told me to hit up Jay Roe [Kink TM] and now it’s like I never asked and I was always a part of Kink.
You started traveling too, where did you go? I took an east coast tour to Massachusetts, Philadelphia, and New York. I went to Colorado with the OSS crew—which was nuts. And Quintin sent me to Austin, Texas, for Texas Toast and it was awesome, man.
Which riders are you psyched on? Who motivates you? Sean Ricany, Mike Mastroni, Ty Morrow, Erik Elstran—I’m into creativity, man.
What are some of your favorite things to do on a bike? I like to jump high, I like to go up rails, I like to float trails—everything and anything that causes high speed.
What are a few tricks you just can’t seem to figure out? Barspins. I just can’t get them consistently.
Deadmau5.
We’re going to interview Deadmau5, formerly know as Joel Zimmerman. He is a young
musician, from Canada, and he produces his own electronic music. He has become famous in
the last years due to his spectacular music, live performances, shows, and his big mouse head.
First of all, it’s obvious, what about your head?
It’s all about my name, and it come because I found a dead mouse inside my computer when I
was about to change my graphics card and people started to call me ‘the dead mouse guy’ and
I decided to enter a chat and call myself ‘DeadMouse’, but it was to long to fit, so it finished
like ‘Deadmau5’.
Deadmau5 live at Coachella 2011.
You released your last album (4x4=12)
in December 2010, are you preparing
some new tracks?
Well yes, I have done some tracks but
they’re still secret, I’ll release
something new in the next months!
You have collaborated with Daft Punk, certainly strange people too (laughs) and your track
was a hit, will you do something else? It would be great!
Hahaha, they’re awesome! I liked to produce that remixes with them, but they’re actually
working in their new album and now I have
plenty of tours so it will have to wait a bit.

Well, thank you for your time and hope
you keep on that! ;)
Santiago Cañizares
This time we interviewed Santiago Canizares, well known by all football fans. It was Real
Madrid and Valencia CF keeper, in addition to the Spanish Selection. Currently pilots in rallies,
and last year he debuted a scoring event for the Rally Championship in Spain.
Where did you get the love of rallying?
I've always liked the Rally, I believe that
Carlos Sainz aroused a passion on me, and, I think,
it was the introduction to the rallies.
What is the thing that you love in this
competition?
I love the good mood that permeates between the
teams. We all get along.
What motor pilot is for you a role model?
Anyone who respects the rules and
practice the sport, I admire them all.
Is there a test car that especially you
would like to participate?
Currently I do not look beyond the
championships that I'm running, I think
it's enough and sometimes I have
trouble balancing my work. I do not
think it's time to look for more
incentives than at present.
