GT-R. THREE LETTERS THAT'S BEEN STRIKING FEAR AMONGST SUPERCARS FOR DECADES!
GT-R; three simple letters that instantly demands respect! And when it's kitted out like this Skyline R33 GT-R, if it's not given respect, it'll just straight up take it, with 500 all wheel horsepower on tap!
The current GT-R on the market is the R35 GT-R and no one can deny that it's an amazing piece of automotive ingenuity. Backtrack a little bit to two generations back though and we get the Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R, a beast back when it was released and still immensely popular, even today.
This silver R33 is far from being stock, even though a stock GT-R was never a bad thing. This monster has seen quite a few engine upgrades carried out on it, with it now pumping out 500 horsepower on all wheels! It's seen the addition of some shiny new turbos, with twin Garrett GT2860-5 turbos providing the boost. It also has an upgraded Deatschwerks fuel pump a bigger injectors, to keep up with the added fuel demands. A Mishimoto radiator and oil cooler keeps things cool while a fully custom built SPS exhaust lets the car make some glorious noises as well as helping the exhaust gasses escape quicker. Inside the engine bay the car has also been fitted with a custom SPS induction system, to ensure maximum airflow into the motor.
On the exterior of the car, the stock bodykit on the GT-R already looks epic so not much needs to be done there, but a set of Cosmis wheels was fitted under the arches, wrapped in sticky Toyo T1S tyres, for insane grip. To improve the car's stance as well as handling, a set of fully adjustable BC Racing Coilovers was fitted to the car, with the car also being lowered a few cms.
The end result of all these changes has culminated in a 90's icon with a few key upgrades that has made it epic and we're sure it'll be haunting Supercars on the streets for many years to come!
