to make decisive turns when needed. Ganador
wing mirrors with their signature hole, provides
that extra aerodynamics while providing
gorgeous looks to boot. For a little vanity, the
door handle casing were replaced with custom
Karbon Kraft pieces to add that racer feel to it’s
overall side view appearance.

The menacing stance that you see here is
through the combined efforts of the Tein
Monoflex coilovers with pillow ball mounts
to add extra camber, such that the timeless
matt black 18″ Volk Racing TE37 rims shod
on Advan AD08 performance tyres could be
tucked in nicely. The braking duties were left to
the carefully converted Nissan R33 GT-R front
34
& rear brakes, that have been painstakingly
coated in the same body colour code, combined
with a pair of enlarged rotors & Ferodo DS2500
brake pads to haul the car back to a full stop.
In the modest cockpit, you get surrounded by
all sorts of important information like your boost
level, your oil temperature, the oil pressure,
the exhaust as well as the water temperature
just by monitoring the beautiful Defi BF (Black
face) amber gauges. The HKS EVC IV boost
controller unit with a turbo timer takes care of
the HKS GTRS turbine, connected to a Tial
44mm external wastegate. An Apexi RSM
displays the speed figures and other crucial
information at a glance, while the Apexi Power
FC stand alone ECU manages the brain of the
vehicle to control & to maximize the potential of
the engine, with forged parts by Tomei.
An Excedy twin plate carbon clutch with
lightened flywheel helps to make full use of
the power by dispatching the gear changes in
a flash, enabling this monster to slice through
the air without any difficulty. Like a low slung
sports car that it has been converted to, it
hovers over the road with ease and is like a
cruise missile fired when on boost. Steer clear,
you’ve been warned.
Without a doubt, this is sibling rivalry at its
finest and we are glad that we can share these
products of passion with our readers. As the
saying goes, go hard or go home! H
