The APAC wide body VAD GTR was completed a few weeks back, and we are pleased to say it went down extremely well, but all car launches need a bit of "je ne sais quoi" and James from Bonner-FX add just that.

The APAC crew are well known for their high quality work, and you can tell just from the images that the guys uploaded on a daily basis across their media platform that this conversion oozes perfection, its their signature quality that the company is renown for, James job was to make sure he captured this extremely high that on film and with the photoshoot, and doing what James does best we would say, its mission accomplished, when perfection meets perfection, magical things happen.

Its been great teaming up with the guys at APAC and Bonner-FX on this build and we look forward to the next one, maybe our Ichiban GTR GT3RR could be the next contender, watch this space.

For the past few months, we have been involved in a rather exciting GTR build, that GTR belongs to our good friend Anthony Gaylard, most GTR, in fact, most car enthusiasts will know all about Anthony's rather epic GTR and his 2017 assault around the famous green hell, the Nordschleife, aka, the Nurburgring, with the guys from Lichfield Automotive and their push to crack the 14.2-mile circuit in under 7 minutes which they achieved.

Although we are privy to the build, we cannot report much at the moment, as the build is being kept well under wraps, plus we have been sworn to secrecy, but what we can talk about is the GTR will be running some of our carbon fibre aero goodies along with our Forged Magnesium 2-piece wheel.

The wheel measures 12.5" in width and 21" in diameter, offsets are bespoke for the build, but we need aggressive offsets to fill out the extra 4" of width front and rear that the new parts give, so we are pleasantly surprised at the wheel coming in just under the 11 kg in weight, the benefit of using magnesium forged wheels.

12.5x21 Forged Magnesium Wheel

Not only do magnesium wheels weigh significantly less than a forged aluminium wheel, the weight is merely the starting point, forged magnesium wheels have superior benefits over aluminium forged wheels, which also include a lower unsprung rotating mass, a lighter wheel is much easier to spin and to stop, due to a lower momentum of inertia, improved acceleration, shorter stopping distance, better handling, longer life for brakes, tyres and all suspension components, as well as better braking efficiency, magnesium wheels also allow for faster heat dissipation which prevents overheating of the wheel and tyre assembly.

This is one GTR we cannot wait to share with the world so if you wish to follow the launch then check back in for updates as they happen next week when the car is released and goes racing.

Our Magnesium forged wheels are available in a huge range of sizes, 18" 19" 20" 21" with a huge range of widths, finishes and applications, we also offer a hybrid 2 piece wheel with forged magnesium centre and a carbon fibre barrel, please get in touch with us for more details on our line up and what we can do for your road or track vehicle.

 

M Speed R34 GTR

As a company, we are always looking for standalone products that can sit alongside our own product that we produce, and sometimes we like to revisit the old products from yesteryear, especially the ones that slipped under the radar. A conversion that stands out that we frequently look back at is the beautiful conversion that was offered by M Speed Japan for the R34 Nissan GT-R, this was a wide body in its finest form, and one we still admire some 10 years later, and although the R34 has now reached cult status the pricing on the GTR has gone well north, some of the prices we have come across are just plain crazy, but as with all the Japanese 90’s super cars they are all turning into a collectors dream with prices soaring.

There is always people that are going to be into modifying and for the very few that would actually put their R34 under the knife, this wide body dry carbon goodness is still available. So what aero parts do you need to convert your standard R34 GTR into this immense track GT500 inspired widebody beast: Front bumper, front splitter, bumper canards, brake duct, wider front vented fenders, side rockers, rear quarter panels, rear bumper.

Option extras include a rear diffuser, rear wing assembly, side exhaust, carbon fibre dash. added to this we can offer lightweight forged or magnesium wheels, coilover suspension, as well as other tuning options that are available.

The kit has never been exported outside of Japan, so if you fancy turning your R34 into a track inspired race GTR, then get in touch and we will make it happen.
