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

The dumped stance is courtesy of G.A.B. Sport dampers and camper is set in place using NISMO tie rods and upper control arms. No jarring ride from spherical bearing this-or-that or other non-compliance suspension components. You could still enjoy this car on the work route every morning or afternoon. 16kg linear rate race springs in most sought after dampers these days couldn’t offer you that comfortably. In most cases, those race dampers are actually dangerous on the street, considering if you hit the right road bump at the right angle, your car would get chucked like a tennis ball rather than absorb the shock.

The RB powerplant in the R32 is already a powerhouse from the factory giving plenty or power to blast from stoplight drags, and more than enough to get even the most experienced of drivers into trouble on winding on-ramps. But again, most are looking to produce dyno queen power numbers with powerbands as wide as Heidi Klum’s waistline. A complete waste on the street. A set of HKS downpipes and an HKS silent HiPower exhaust keep gases flowing while a Blitz boost controller keeps tabs on positive manifold pressure on this GTR. Enough to produce a few extra horsepower but fully retain streetability.

While this R32 wouldn’t win any awards at the local shows or Super Lap Battles, it would quietly get home after the event without to much hassle from the police and probably smoke a dyno queen or two…nobody said owning a modestly tuned street car had to be boring.
