    Garage Saurus R32 GT-R

    I found this while I was browsing the internet, and its a pretty cool R32, I always like the R32's body style and this one has phenominal work done to it....Not sure if I like the Carbon Fiber panels though, I would rather just have the silver gray paint...but hey its lighter and by the numbers it runs, it FAST & street legal........ant argue with that...

    Pushing out close to 1000 PS and with a record 1/4 mile time of 8.950 this BNR32 is actually still a fully legal street car! Gotta love Japan! Built by Garage Saurus, one of the most famous drag shops in the country, this car is owned by a good customer and a member of the Hayashi Racing team (884R). On top of all the engine work, which includes an N1 block, HKS 2.8L Step 3 kit, HKS T51R SPL turbine and a Hollinger sequential gearbox, the owner decided to go a bit crazy with the bodywork too. So he literally had the car “carbonized!” Every panel is carbon and has been panted to show the underlaying fibers of the precious composite. Even the roof has been cut out and replaced with a honeycomed carbon fiber structure! Just take a look at the pix below to appreciate all the work that has gone into this R32.

    I have to admit its a good car, but just not to my liking.
    I want to die in my sleep like my Grandma, not screaming like the other 3 people in her car.

    yeah, for a show car it's ok, for a 'daily' driver i'd paint it... at least i'd think it's a sleeper lol.
