Smoky has been a busy man! This is the recently completed Top Secret R35 GT-R, wearing the new 2012 GT-R inspired front bumper and the signature gold color everyone knows and loves. The car made its first appearance at the 2010 R's Meeting this past weekend in Fuji Speedway, hinting that Top Secret has gotten serious about the R35.
It's taken a few years but finally there are more and more tuning parts coming out for the VR38DETT…
…so a lot of people are assuming that the choice to paint the previously dark silver demo car gold, means it's time for Smoky to go crazy once again!
The new front bumper sports a pair of integrated canards like the ones that will soon grace the front of the 2012 GT-R, minus the LED driving lights.
The new front grille sports three openings to help channel more air towards the twin intercoolers. Notice the lightweight titanium tow hook.
Top Secret has kept pricing very competitive, even their new carbon fiber hood (wet, not dry) comes in at around $2,000.
The engine has been fitted with a pair of re-engineered stock IHI turbines which are modified and ported to flow more air and fitted with a 22% bigger turbine wheel. The built in wastegates are also enlarged and controlled by fast-acting GReddy actuators. At 1.25 kgf of boost the motor manages to develop 700 HP with a massive 651 lb/ft punch of torque at 4,000 rpm.
Titanium piping isn't cheap at $2,600!
It's good seeing the GT-R badge on a gold Top Secret car again!
I really hope we will be seeing this car out in action at the Tsukuba Super Battle in December, it's about time these big R35s showed us what they are made of!

Great write-up Dino!! Your pictures are great and really show off all the great parts that Top Secret is offering. We're also really glad to see Top Secret get back to their "golden" roots!
We've added some more pics of the car here for those interested:

Thanks for your support of Top Secret!
Totally awesome! It is about time that Smoky brought something out R35, While this is pale in comparison too some of the older cars (modification wise), we all know it is going to get better from here.
Top Secret are winners!
Love the work they do and the titanium finishes on the metal parts.

GEEZ look how much wider the front fascia on the Top Secret car is!

lol "toe" hook
wow.. Top Secret back in the mix.. they are taking no prisoners.. love what they've done (as always) - thanks for the top quality pictures and info!!
Still not a huge R35 fan but I love pretty much anything Top Secret does. Nice looking combo and could be made to be a sleeper - as much as a new GTR can be.
I still remember the first time my buddy showed me a video of Smoky doing his thing on the highway. Gotta love him.
I would never own a GT-R, just because of the nazi-like control Nissan tries to have over it and the way it monitors it. Im so glad my s13 doesnt have any of that computer jibba jabba crap that enables my speed limiter based on gps location etc etc. the GTR is an amazing car, but my value for privacy comes first
The bumper cover is nice and subtle.
It looks like a catfish from the front.
Tow* hook. And the car looks fantastic, I love the gold accent on the plenums.
Excellent Job Nagata Kazuhiko-San.
