iM Feature: Peter’s Nissan GT-R

July 10, 2013July 10, 2013

When you’re operating one of THEE go to tuner shops out in Toronto, what do you drive?

For Peter of Nextmod, the answer is pretty straight forward and to the point: A Nissan GT-R.

Considering the GT-R is still fairly new, this certainly did not stop the aftermarket from supporting GT-R owners like Peter and the hunger for more performance, and inevitably more power. Being exposed to some of the biggest names in aftermarket performance on a 9 to 5 basis, Peter definitely had the upper hand when it came to building his GT-R and it really shows in all aspects of his car.

The focal point of Peter’s GT-R is found in it’s heart and soul, under the bonnet. In the engine bay, Peter looked to build upon the GT-R’s already impressive out of the box power plant, with hefty modification packages by HKS including a full GT800 turbine kit, GT570 Sport Package, and a GT600 Racing Package. Exactly what do these packages entail? Long story short, everything from the turbo, intercooler, and piping down to the exhaust goes through an upgrade. HKS was not messing around when it came to improving the GT-R’s performance on every level, which we are pretty sure Peter was well aware of. *wink wink*

To maintain Nissan’s sporty exterior styling, Peter added aero pieces that provided a subtle yet aggressive aura with an Amuse Powerhouse front lip and a Voltex 1700mm Type 5 GT Wing. Less is more with the interior of Peter’s GT-R as he swaps out the original seats with Recaro SR-7 ASM Limited Ruby Red seats. a full Carbon interior dress up kit can also be noticed inside this GT-R. To keep the car planted to the ground without sacrificing ride comfort, KW’s coilover sleeve kit was implemented and paired with 20″ Advan GT wheels wrapped in Toyo R888 tires.

With a well thought out project both inside and out, it’s no wonder Peter chose the GT-R as his prized showcase when pointing his Nextmod customers in the right direction to performance, function and form. After all, when you’re the head honcho of a tuner shop like Nextmod, it’s only fair that you have a car that will get people coming back for more. And Peter’s GT-R, is something we definitely cannot get enough of.
