In this thrilling episode of Mighty Car Mods, the team finally unveils their painstakingly restored R32 GTR at the prestigious GTR Festival in Sydney. The car, once a sad sight, has been transformed into a jaw-dropping masterpiece over the course of five grueling years. With new front-end parts, custom Raz Vulk Racing wheels, and upgraded Brembo brakes, this iconic Japanese legend now commands attention like never before. Not to mention the carbon fiber spoiler and custom exhaust system that add a touch of aggression to the sleek design.
Inside, the team has spared no expense in revamping the interior with period-correct seats and a state-of-the-art Haltech UC10 dash. But the real magic lies under the hood, where high-flowed Garrett-5 turbos, HKS filters, and Plasma components come together to create a symphony of power. The engine rebuild, led by acclaimed builder Rob Arbalina, features upgraded internals and a Haltech Nexus system that ensures every bit of power is harnessed efficiently.
To complement the impressive power upgrades, the team has also focused on enhancing the car's handling with Shock Works coilovers and Whiteline sway bars. The result is a driving experience that is nothing short of exhilarating, as demonstrated during the car's maiden voyage at Sydney Motorsport Park. With over 400 kW at the wheels, this R32 GTR is not just a showstopper—it's a true performance machine that pays homage to its iconic heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern automotive engineering.
