JULY 2009's ROTM WINNER IS 323 GT-R
The winner for the month of July's nominations was member 323 GT-R from Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. Although I won't admit any direct bias towards this fellow Cannuck, it's hard not to agree that this is one sweet ride. The car is in pristine condition both inside and out and has some excellent upgrades. The pictures really tell the story though.
Engine Modifications
Under the hood lives the famous BPD. The engine is fed by the K&N Air Intake and boost set by a Perrin boost controller. A large aftermarket radiator and magnecor wires were also added. A HKS groundkit and Mazdaspeed oil & radiator cap finish off the underhood modifications.
Drivetrain Modifications
The mighty BPD is mated to the GTR's AWD transmission. Power is then directed through the lightened flywheel and the Stage 3 clutch, which is activated by the Corksport braided stainless steel clutch line.
Suspension Modifications
Handling is covered by a set of KYB coilovers mated to Cusco upper strut mounts on the front and rear of the car. A Cusco rear strut bar finishes off the suspension tuning.
Brakes, Wheels, and Tires
Beyond the stock GTR braking system, the soft rubber lines were upgraded for a set of Corksport braided stainless steel brake lines. Stopping power is directed through the Yokohama S Drive tires mounted on a very sexy set of Watanabe RS-8 15in wheels.
Interior Modifications
Thankfully the owner has kept the interior in beautiful condition and really shows what a true GT-R looks like. All that has been changed was an upgraded Pioneer head unit, and Infinity speakers all around.
Exterior Modifications
The factory JDM headlights have been changed out for an amazing set of TYC clear headlights with the very rare Infini clear corners.
Additional Pictures.
Let me be the first to say CONGRATS on the win. It's one sweet GT-R!
