Ganesh’s R32 GTR V-Spec 2 : Built in Modesty

Statics by Jerry Truong

Not sure when it happened but sometime over the past couple of years, it seems people have forgotten how to tune street cars with simple and modest virtues. It seems we’re back on our way to seeing gaudy, ill-fitting  knock off carbon and aero appointments trying to resemble J style. Unfortunately, instead of achieving the look you would see at TAS or in the pages of an Option Rag, you end up with something that belonged in HIN 4-5 years ago…on the East Coast (no offense).

So when we came across Ganesh’s clean R32 GTR V-SPEC 2, we had to get some statics of it and remind ourselves what can be done on the street with a little restraint and modest intentions. Granted, it is a GTR,  and most of us don’t have the ability to just go out and get one. But this style could be replicated on just about any street car out there.

On the exterior, you won’t find any aggressive aero kits from the likes of Auto Select or other Super Lap tuners that would only find a proper home at Tsukuba, but a tasteful blend of NISMO pieces such as the N1 air ducts, bonnet lip, skirts, rear mud spats, and N1 headlights. That’s it. The functional OE wing is still intact. The only other modification to the exterior is the pulled fenders which house the old school 17×9 BBS RS mesh wheels.
