Nissan GTR by Tommy Kaira
Tommy Kaira is a legendary tuning company based in Kyoto, Japan. Originally founded way back in 1968 under a different name; Tommy Kaira signature cars have graced the covers of magazines and been featured in numerous video games for years. But it wasn’t until the late 1980’s that Tommy Kaira begun producing fully tuned signature cars. Their first releases were not Japanese cars at all; they were souped up Mercedes vehicles. Tommy Kaira eventually won contracts with giant manufactures like Nissan and Subaru. And it was these highly sought after tuned version of the Nissan Skyline GTR that made a name in the tuning world for Tommy Kaira. Released to the public at the 2010 Tokyo AutoSalon; the Tommy Kaira R35 GTR Ebbrezza-R was an instant hit.
When deciding which new cars to modify, Tommy Kaira’s President doesn’t just pick the most popular, newly released car. He chooses a car which he can be passionate about; and that adoration will hopefully be felt by those who purchase a signature car. It only took one ride in the R35 GTR to cement its future spot in the Tommy Kaira line-up. And this car was given a special title; the Ebbrezza-R name means intoxication in French and is a great descriptor of the R35.
Tommy Kaira went all out on this new JDM GTR. Just about every important piece of the R35 that could be tuned for the better has been done so by Tommy Kaira. This includes the body kit, wheels and tires, Interior, brakes, suspension, and exhaust. The absolute latest technology was included in the tuning of this already legendary super car.
Usually Tommy Kaira customers just buy a complete car at a marked up price and this is generally what is expected. But the company has made a new strategic move towards selling individual parts for the New Nissan GTR. The Body has been tuned with carbon fiber parts that give the GTR a sinister look. Many parts have been created out of Wet Carbon Fiber for the main body pieces. The Tommy Kaira front style GTR kit is made up of 4 parts: a front bumper, grill, lip spoiler, and under diffuser. Price on the 
front style body parts comes in at a hefty $7000. When you add in the other Carbon Fiber parts for the outside of the GTR the price swells to $18,700; but in includes many more aero parts, a; of which are super cool and more importantly functional. Rounding out the rest of the body kit modifications are: a pair of side skirts, rear underspoiler, diffuser, fender extensions, a wing, a myriad of fender ducts and finishing pieces.
The suspension has been addressed with a full JDM Quantum 
Super Sports Coilover system that nets a $7000 price tag. The brakes have also been upgraded with a high performance system consisting of Endless monoblock 6-POT calipers on huge 390mm rotors. The mounting hardware, brake lines and pads are also included in this kit which retails for $20K. The rims are AVS F15 wheels in black that measure 20-inches and come wrapped with 255/285 series Pirelli P-Zero tires.
There is a Titanium High Performance Exhaust available for $3800 which represents a great value. There will also be an ECU upgrade on the way, but Tommy Kaira is still in the tuning stages so horsepower gains are not available. Finally rounding out the modifications is a full leather interior upgrade and carbon fiber accent kit. Prices for these have not been released. You can also get Tommy Kaira badges for the GTR and special edition Recaro seats.
The Tommy Kaira represents one of the only fully tuned Nissan GTR’s to be produced by a reputable JDM tuning company. This car is so new that its legendary status is not yet realized,
and you can bet the Tommy Kaira R35 GTR Ebbrezza-R will be a collector’s item in the near future.

Oh wow! A very nice car! Very cool!
yeah,, mostly i like the all Nissan skyline type. but this one is very interesting because it is design by tommy kaira. great post!
I have seen a few of Tommy Kaira’s projects. They always leave me impressed, and this one is no different. How legit is that interior. Love it!
They should work with the Nissan GT-R Spec V instead of the base model GT-R.
The Spec V gets a new high gear boost control device, which briefly increases boost of the twin turbochargers for greater torque in the intermediate-to-high speed ranges. Carbon fibre is used throughout the car, including the brake ducts, grille, spoiler, seats, and trim.
