As a testament to both the capability of the stock Nissan package, as well as the performance nature of this R33, the interior and exterior remain only lightly modified. Outside is a Nismo front chin spoiler, Seibon carbon-fiber hood and Drag SPL wing, along with a fresh coat of white paint by M.O.B. Works of Orange, Calif., and graphics by Euphoric Designs of Gardena, Calif. Inside rests a Recaro racing bucket for the driver, Design Craft Fabrication cage and a simple head unit upgrade. In fact, the only other electronics added to the car remain the A'PEXi 60mm water temperature, boost, fuelpressure, EGT, oil temperature and pressure gauges.
One of the most famous and legendary Japanese cars of the past few years, the Skyline GT-R has proven its reputation with the help of a few aftermarket wizards. With a factory turbocharged engine that begs for boost, a stout all-wheel drive system, and the development help from years of racing, the GT-R has the specs going for it. Lai's R33 has both style and comfort, and cruises easily with more than 709 wheel hp on tap. It's hard to call the legend of the GT-R a lie, especially when it's all true.
