  • While at PRI, we caught up with Joshua Ray to take a closer look at his R32 Skyline GT-R that was inspired by Aussie GT-Rs and uses lots of Aussie parts. The engine bay is dripping in ‪@Platinumracingproducts‬ too.

    Nice job mate, and to the people calling it "a catalogue car" can eat a 🍆! I'd be stoked to even have a GT-R, let alone
    pick what I want out of the PRP, Artec, Haltech etc catalogue's. I like how you spoke numbers of the previous set ups but kept the current figures to yourself, I guess we'll have to wait until GT-R Fest USA? I wish I could say I would be there but can't wait for the videos of the event. 🇦🇺V🇺🇲

      It’s been a build of passion for so long. But although others did have some influence, I’ve never built this car for anyone but me. I’ve learned that it takes loads of heart to build a car and stay true to your own likes and taste. But when done right will always have more love than hate.

    This is the “NxT LvL” for the R32 Chassis IMO. “Aussie Spec” is THE CLASS : billet parts like block, heads, intake plenum, all CNC/cast RB blocks etc. you can do the whole turbo/fuel system boost control ECU, AN fittings etc. all made in AUS. They like 2nd outside of Japan 🇯🇵 themselves for supporting R32 platform (best/O.G/lightest) for me. Gunmetal/BBS LM’S ❤.
