Godzilla Stance | Nutek Series 708 Concave

When people talk about Japanese Supercars, there are certain cars that are always mentioned in the discussion. The Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota Supra RZ, Honda/Acura NSX-R, Lexus LF-A... these are but a few of the beastly offerings from overseas. This issue's focus is Nissan's R35 GT-R, and auto tuner SP-Engineering's incredible offerings for this machine.

The 2010 Nissan GT-R comes with 520 hp right off the dealer lot, and for most people, the power and looks of the factory car are enough. For others... further customization is a must. We got a chance to work with SP Engineering, who is one of the leading GT-R tuners here in the country. Pulling into their facility, we couldn't help but notice a gridlock of GT-R's, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and even a few McLaren MP-12C's, all awaiting the SP Engineering touch for increased performance. We knew we were in High Horsepower Heaven.

First up on the list of mods for the GT-R are upgraded wheels and tires. With a serious increase in horsepower in store, there was a need to give the car a bigger footprint to help transfer all this extra power to the road. Wanting to replace the factory 20x9.5 (255/40R20) FA and 20x10.5 (285/35R20) RA setup, SP Engineering turned to Nutek Forged Wheels for a custom built forged solution. After taking careful measurements of the GT-R and its massive brake calipers, Nutek was able to maximize the aggressiveness of the wheel design without compromising performance. This upgraded GT-R now rolls on Nutek 708 Concave Series 20x10 (285/35R20) FA and 20x12 (315/30R20) RA, adding a full 30mm of width to the tires on all four corners.

This GT-R also received SP Engineering's Stage 2 SPE750 package. What's this you ask? 800 horsepower and quarter mile track times under 10 seconds. Here's a short run down of what SP Engineering did for this GT-R:
