WALD International dresses up the Nissan GT-R

September 2nd 2008 00:15
WALD International Nissan GT-R


WALD International, a premier Japanese tuning company and bodykit developers in VIP-style, has temporarily directed their attention away from blinging out luxury European marques to try their hand at dressing up a homegrown supercar - the Nissan GT-R.


The Osaka-based group's take on the Godzilla for their 'Sports Line' series is clear enough for all to see - the standard GT-R just simply isn't aggressive enough so the front fascia has been redesigned and now features fog lamps that sit just inside the air gills which have been added to provide better ventilation for the front brakes.

The rear three-quarters of the GT-R have been given added muscle in the form of bolt-on guards to provide extra width while a menacing diffuser and adjustable rear wing grabs all the attention at the back.

Rounding off the package is a set of black multi-spoke 22-inch wheels that matches the character of WALD International's GT-R perfectly.

Nismo's Club Sports Package for Nissan GT-R

September 1st 2008 05:45
Nismo GT-R Club Sports Package


While Nismo have appeared to be taking a back seat when all the major aftermarket tuning workshops have been working overtime to deliver performance boosting products for the new R35 GT-R, the release of a new 'Club Sports Package' by Nissan's in-house tuner proves they haven't been as slack as we first thought.

Nismo GT-R Club Sports Package


The package which includes race-spec suspension (Bilstein Damp Tronic adjustable shock absorbers and stiffer spring rates), new tyre and wheel combo, lightweight exhaust system, and Nismo and Recaro co-branded bucket seats appears to target the GT-R's achilles heel - its weight - while also further improving the vehicle's already stunning handling dynamics.

Nismo GT-R bucket seats


Here's a breakdown of the weight-saving benefits of this Nismo package:

- Lightweight Ray's Engineering 20-inch forged aluminium wheels - 6kg (total)
- Leather wrapped carbon-fibre bucket seats - approx. 6kg (each)
- Titanium exhaust system - 5kg

Nismo GT-R Ray's wheels


It's all good. Except the mind-numbing price. ¥5,460,000 or the Aussie equivalent of around $55,000. No, that isn't a typo. Should you order the entire package, that is the amount of money it will set you back.

We'll take the 'standard' GT-R, thanks!
