Its been a while since we have featured Bryce Jenkins GTR and the main reason being he has simply been too busy with life, not only moving from state to state, but also moving into a new family home in Colorado Springs whist also adding new family members, in the form of Siberian Husky, not one but two, Hakosuka and the latest edition Mishimoto and as all car builders will respect you have to prioritise, which is what Bryce has been doing

With the priorities taken care of it was time to get back on the GTR, and to complete the first round of mods, steam roller sized Michelin tyres were on the hit list, measuring 325/30R20 up front and even wider 345/30R20 for the rear, these have been wrapped around the 12x20 & 14x20 AG Wheels Bryce already had "waiting patiently" so with a weekend of mods, trimming and general suspension set up it was finally time for its first proper outing as a more or less finished build and we have to say it does look pretty spectacular, the wheel and tyre set up are really on point, form and function never looked so good, Bryce still has bits to do but as with all builds does the modifying and titivating ever stop.

Next up will be the straight pipe exhaust system coming from the boys at JC Fab Works, and a new rear GT3 style wing that we are working on for our own BMW Z4 GT3 project, will be re worked for the Ichiban GTR, but that is a few months away whilst we fabricated all the supports and manufactured the blade moulds for the double set up.

Over the next week the car will be photographed by the silky lens skills of Brandon from Woyshnis Media, and we are really looking forward to the money shots that will appear, as the guy has some excellent skills with a camera and no doubt the GTR will be seen on lots of media feeds, especially if Bryce’s Rocket Bunny Nissan 350Z this is anything to go by, this is one GTR that we think is going to infest the internet for many months to come, and with the current crop of cut and paste wide body GTR builds that are everywhere, this beauty is going to be a refreshing change... Hurry up Brandon.

 

We have said it before and we will say it again… we love what we do, we get to mix it up with some of the coolest people in the scene from all over the world, and one cool guy in particular is our buddy Bryce Jenkins.

Some of you will already know that we have a couple of favourite Rocket Bunny 350Z builds that really do hit the VAD sweet spot, as you know we aren’t really a fan of the rivet over fender scene, but the RB350Z looks so damn good, and Bryce has taken the bunny to another level, in more ways than one.

The first thing that caught our attention was the wheel build, but let’s come to that later. The first thing I want to discuss is the colour, boy oh boy did he nail that, it’s absolutely incredible to look at, we can’t stop staring at it in the office it’s that nice, we can honestly say we don’t think there is a better looking 350Z out there, black rose …. We luuuuuurve you.

Rocket Bunny 350Z

Now to the wheels, we all know wheels make the car, and you can’t beat the look of a classic 5 spoke, and the AG F130 is pure win, but what we like about the Bryce factor is he didn’t follow the usual concave crowd, nope he did it his way, traditional standard profile, with huge outer rims, and the colour of the wheels is right on the money, that compliments the body colour to perfection.

So how about this for fitment … 12x19 front & 14x19 rear, he then wrapped them in “MAN” sized tyres, none of this skinny ass 255 sssssssssstreched on a 14” wheel, with silly camber un-driveable garbage, nope he did things properly, 295/30 front and 345/30 rear, Bryce doesn’t do things by halves, it’s done properly or not at all, we like that…we like that a lot.

Well now for the best bit... it’s ***FOR-SALE*** yes we know, lets repeat that … it’s for sale and it’s a bloody bargain.

The spec list is amazing, to the point of trouser arousing, especially when you look at the price he wants for the car, we know you can’t put a price, effort, commitment and time, if you could this car would be up for $100k + but what a car for the money, someone stateside is going to grab an absolute bargain, so here goes, ....tissues at the ready.
