This Singaporean owner (workshop?) chose to bling their GT-R out a little more than usual. Green vinyl wrap with matte black highlights give it a certain unique look. While not to my taste I still think you guys should see it in all it’s glory. And it’s ok to admit you’re green with envy…

Other modifications include Bride CF seats, Zele carbon fibre body kit, 22″ wheels, HKS EVC boost controller and a Mine’s exhaust.

The good news is this is just a wrap and can be taken off at any time, the sooner the better please.

Less is more is how the old saying goes and for a circuit spec exhaust where weight reduction is key this Zele International FZ Titanium Muffler Type-1 is just the ticket. Taking a different approach to some manufacturers in creating the ultimate in circuit spec mufflers, Zele is proud to launch this Type-1 exhaust soon.

One of the great benefits of this design over the competition is compatibility with multiple rear mounted coolers. This single sided exhaust frees up your right side for a DSG transmission cooler while the removal of the large standard center mounted mufflers also frees up the centre rear grille to mount Zele International’s rear differential cooler.

The WALD Sportsline body kit is certainly coming along with quite a lot of the clay work done on the front end now.

The front bar, front lip, headlights and grille are the main focal points and are almost completed in first draft stage. Looks slightly different to the renders around the fog lights. It’ll be interesting to see how it changes next.

The Nismo Club Sports Package was developed in the goal of durability in mind. The price tag however calls forth the question, what is the deal with these parts? We’ve talked to Junpei Okamura-san, head of Nismo development on this matter.

The Purpose of Development?

The first goal in development of the package was to continue to improve on the already great Nissan baseline. To improve performance but at the same time not reduce durability or absolute safety.

So it can be said that to meet these goals the package should improve circuit and sports driving performance, basically lower lap times by increasing stability and efficiency. Of course it’s not just pure speed that we need to pursue to meet our goals, we need to focus also on control in corners, steering response, braking performance and so on. Nismo’s chassis package fine tunes the GT-R in this department.

Dampers

The GT-R’s standard Damptronic suspension is great - so Nismo adopted the same basic suspension in both manufacturer and basic hardware. The benefit of using Damptronic suspension are many but the ability to keep the function of the dash suspension mode setting switch is great. Nismo intend their dampers to be used on in R-Mode at the circuit but just as with the stock suspension the Comfort setting gives a much more compliant ride.

The dampers aren’t exactly the same in every way to standard however and the main valves have been changed to tune damping force in R-Mode to Nismo’s specifications. These changes keep the GT-R more planted under fierce acceleration as well as keeping body roll in check in the corners. The tendency for the nose to pitch forward while braking is also reduced.
