Aftermarket Daily News 1 5 Friday, November 4, 2016 COMPETITION INTERCOOLER FOR NISSAN GT-R The competition intercooler for Nissan GT-R has the following core size (2 x [360mm x 294mm x 110mm] = 23.300cm³), providing a 76 percent larg- er frontal area and 94 percent more vol- ume compared to the original intercooler. Engineers have increased the intercooler core size and efficiency, as well as improved the end tank design to remove any OEM bottlenecks, resulting in an increased flow rating and charge cooling properties. This Nissan GT-R Intercooler Kit uses the award-winning Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Core, which is made specifically for this appli- cation. It is one of the highest quality tube fin cores available on the market. It features a new internal structure, with a weight of just 2 x 9.1kg and combined with freeform cast aluminum end tanks optimized in CAD. Flow analyses and simulations were created to optimize the design for the best possible internal air- flow. The intercooler kit also includes a suitable carbon air shroud to ensure opti- mum airflow to the intercooler, as well as additional silicone hoses with an enlarged cross-section. This intercooler kit is the best choice when it comes to performance gains and low intake temperatures. It has an anti- corrosion protective coating with perfect thermal heat dissipating character. It features optimal cooling with clearly more power. The kit is ready for installation. Fitment is easy, replacing the OEM intercooler. All products undergo rigor- ous quality control and are also tested by com- pressive strength of up to 6 bar. This intercool- er kit is suitable for rac- ing. Wagner Tuning corporate headquar- ters and the associated development cen- ter is located in Germany, with addition- al sales offices in the United States and United Kingdom.

JW SPEAKER EXPANDS LINE OF INNOVATIVE OFF-ROAD LED LIGHTS J.W. Speaker Corporation has expanded its line of innovative, Jeep-specific LED off-road lights. This company's Jeep-spe- cific lighting package, referred to as the J Series, enables owners to fully outfit their vehicle from front to back in premi- um performance J.W. Speaker LED light- ing. "The off-road 4x4 market has long been a focus for us, so we were especial- ly pleased to announce this innovative, Jeep-specific series for our off-road end users last year," said Michael Stoeckel, Director of Aftermarket Sales for J.W. Speaker. The first J Series product was the Model 8700 Evolution J LED headlight. This headlight was designed with inte- grated anti-flicker technology to elimi- nate LED flickering caused by the Jeep's electrical system. This was the world's first aftermarket LED Jeep headlight where the owner can simply plug in the headlight and drive, eliminating the addi- tional expense of bulky wire harnesses. In addition to the headlight, the Model 6145 J and Model 6150 J LED fog lights were added, offering the same anti- flicker technology for Jeep fog upgrades. The 6145 J Series retrofits stock fog lights in OEM and aftermarket bumpers, while the Model 6150 J Series features a universal pedestal mount, ideal for place- ment anywhere on a Jeep. J.W. Speaker then expanded the line to include a stylized aftermarket LED tail light, the Model 279 J Series. This LED tail light offers a true plug and play installation for Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited models with a one- of-a-kind look. The sleek design incorpo- rates innovative "Light Blade" technolo- gy and blacked out styling, offering a brand new look and feel for off-road consumers. The housing is con- toured to serve as a plug and play replacement specifically for JK model Jeeps. "We listened to what our customers were saying they need- ed in a Jeep-specific LED series, and we delivered a premium package that's unequalled," said Tim Speaker, J.W. Speaker's Co-President and Co-Owner. "We appreciate our off-road Jeep cus- tomers and couldn't have been more excited to give them a quality Jeep-spe- cific series they could hit the ground run- ning with." J.W. Speaker followed the launch of its J Series lights with a new assortment of off-road auxiliary lights, including the Models TS3001V, TS3001R and TS4000. These LED off-road lights are designed specifically for rugged off- roading. They feature heavy-duty, impact-resistant housing and state-of-the-art LEDs resist- ant to shock and vibration. The latest addition to J.W. Speaker's offering is the TS1000 LED light bar. This rugged, low-profile 14-inch light bar comes in high beam, pencil beam, flood beam or wide flood beam pattern configurations for maxi- mum visibility. An optional double- stack mount allows users to mix and match beam patterns and tailor the illu- mination to their specific style of driv- ing and/or terrain. J.W. Speaker Corporation is bring- ing its line of 4x4 LED off-road lights along to the SEMA Show! Look for them in booth #31267 in the Upper South Hall. The SEMA Show will be a great chance to see the full line of new off-road 4x4 LED lighting in action. For more information, stop by booth #31267 or go to www.jwspeaker.com.

How will I be able to match the ever changing digital communica- tion? How can I speak the same digital language as my customers?" If so, you are not alone. You feel that you have reached a level of excellence in your paper rack process, and more investment in tools and staff might not yield the business results you were hoping for.
