Car Spotting In Brunei - HKS ZERO R (Nissan Skyline BNR32 GT-R)


This ladies and gentlemen is the famous HKS ZERO-R,  I took these photos personally at SHHProshop last week and this is the first time I am up-close and personal with this unique legendary car from HKS.   The car started out as a Nissan Skyline GTR R32 body shade that had been fully strip, reworked by HKS of Japan which in turn became the HKS ZERO-R.  I believe there are no more than  11 of this exist in the world.  And only a handful(2-4units) was sold.  The remaining unsold units were kept inside HKS garage. 

This particular ZERO-R come with 450hp when it was imported new to Brunei. Do not confuse with ZERO-R Ver.2 that HKS revisited and that has +500hp. The almighty RB26DETT in this car came fully modded with HKS catalogue goodies.  I couldn't find the proper details but it was the craziest mod you would want for your GTR R32.  

The car is fitted with full aero bodykits that differ from stock.   The most obvious modification is the relocation of fuel tank from the boot to the rear passenger seats! With fully customised tank sitting just behind the driver seats.




This car is awaiting for tuning this week and I was told it will have some serious HP!

Sadly the original ZERO-R wheels is no longer fitted in this car.  This set of wheel is from SSR.
