Car Spotlight>> Gt-rr’s Signature Build R35

Ben Schaffer, the owner of Bulletproof Automotive and GT-RR.com, sent through some pics of his R35 GT-R street car. Ben and I have known each other through email for a couple years now, ever since I featured the gold Bulletproof S2000 in the magazine I used to work on back in Australia. This R35 was GT-RR's demo car, and is actually their fourth 'Signature Build'.

Although most people would be happy with a 2010 R35, this example has been updated with the 2012-model's LED running lights and grill. The front bar is a cross-compatible design under their brand-RR line-up. The carbon front lip is from Do-Luck.

There's something about black on black R35s that makes me go a little weak at the knees!

The R35 is fitted with plenty of carbon parts from well-known Japanese GT-R tuner Tommy Kaira, including the side skirts, rear under spoiler and diffuser.

What's that glint of colour peeking out from above the diffuser?

It's the Amuse x GT-RR R1000 titanium exhaust.

Here's a better look at it. Amuse are certainly artisans when it comes to creating titanium masterpieces.

The GT-RR demo car is fitted with 20×10.5-inch RAYS R57 GT wheels. The widths front and back are the same, however staggered offsets have been used.

The rear wing is also a Tommy Kaira piece, (yet again) fabricated from carbon.

There's so many neat touches on GT-RR's Signature Build R35, such as the Carbon Dry Japan hood (who also manufacture parts for Esprit). The hood has been painted in the factory black with only hints of carbon left exposed.

Awesome car. Just one question though, the first picture has the 2010 GT-R front end, the rest have the 2012 front. Is that deliberately like that or is it a mistake?

How in the world did you just manage to write an article about a Nissan GT-R without a word about the engine!?

The hood is amazing!!!



Love the carbon/paint look!

4

Perfect !

It needs some Recaro seat Ben :)

5

I can't help but think "That doesn't look that great," because it's not slammed and it doesn't have good wheel fitment.

CURSE YOU HELLAFLUSH MOVEMENT FOR CORRUPTING MY VIEWS ON WHAT LOOKS GOOD

Yossarian: because gtrr is developing a 1000hp ready crate motor with Cosworth. It is not finished yet. Neither is the gtrr x JRZ suspension project.

12

13

That tommykaira rear looks even better in person.

14

Thanks for all the compliments on the car guys



To answer why the bumper is different in the photos...The first photo is the original Nissan bumper that came with the car. The subsequent photos are of the car with the new bumper we created:

The engine on the car was stock, save for a Cobb Accessport tune and the Amuse x GT-RR midpipe and exhaust (the car still made over 500awhp with this setup though!)



Our suspension setup wasn't ready when I took all the pictures, but there's a full coilover setup with a variable ride height kit coming!!

I would also add:

Ben's GT-R is a 2010 model, but he retrofitted the newer MY2012 bumper customized to work with the Do Luck front splitter.

Here is the link of the mods:
