Junya Nakata's Nissan R34 GT-T

Photos & Words Taken From Stance Nation - Kyler Rasmussen - Yosuk Ishihara

Have you ever had one of those experiences when you see something so well put together, and so clean, that you really have no words to describe it?  As I sit behind my computer screen, scrolling through photos, reading and re-reading mod lists and descriptions; I am still at a loss for words on what to say about this gorgeous ER34 sedan. I for one am a sucker for all things unfamiliar and against what is “normal” as well as being completely cohesive at the same time. Something that makes you think “I know exactly what I’m looking at, but there’s something just a little different about this one.” All I can say is; this car truly has a presence of it’s own, and really needs no introduction.
Junya acquired the car you see here back in 2012. And what would deter some from buying a car such as this, is what actually attracted him to it. It’s a sedan! From the beginning, Junya had one goal in mind: Make it look like a GT-R with it’s own little twist. “My car looks like a GT-R, but I wanted to do things that a general GT-R owner wouldn’t do.”
For Junya, Making the car look as genuine, and as close to a GT-R as possible was very important. This sedan sports genuine GT-R parts from the front bumper, hood, front fenders, and sideskirts. Out back, he tied it all together with a URAS TYPE-R Fender kit, URAS Style-L Rear half bumper, and a URAS roof spoiler. What’s all that work without a new paint job you ask? His goal for a genuine look didn’t stop with the body work on the car. Junya had it topped off with a fresh coat of Nissan Millennium Jade Metallic, a limited GT-R color of course.
As most of us know, no widebody is complete without the right set of wheels to fill the fenders. Like the perfect pair of shoes to go with a tailored suit, 19×10.5 Advan Racing GT wheels wrapped in Nitto NT555 tires look right at home in relation to the car’s newly acquired wide arches. R34 GT-R Brembo brakes peer out through the wheels. Proving that nothing was overlooked in the aesthetics or performance department.

When it comes down to function and form, no particular side was chosen with the direction of the car. The chassis is brought closer to the tarmac with a set of TRUST coilovers on custom 326 power springs. Letting everyone know that it may be low, but it still means business.

For performance, the car is equipped with an Ohsumi radiator, HKS air cleaner, Blitz Intercooler, an Altrack equal length exhaust manifold, and a custom made muffler to finish it all off. Junya has future plans for under the hood that will definitely break his own rule of staying genuine to the GT-R name. The bay of this green monster may or may not be awaiting a 1JZGTE swap in the near future. As a Toyota fan myself, I know I’ll be standing on the sidelines cheering him on and awaiting the end result.
Looking to the cockpit of the car, you’ll see it has been kept fairly simple and equipped with a pair of red bride seats that surprisingly provide a nice contrast to the exterior color. A Nardi classic wheel was also added. To keep everything in check, the car is monitored with Defi oil temp, oil pressure and boost meters. As well as a NISMO combination meter, water temp meter, and an HKS Turbo timer.

In closing, even though I still believe that this car can speak for itself, I hope I was able to give you a little more insight on this 4 door work of art provided to us by Junya Nakata out in Japan. And we at StanceNation are proud to be able to share these great photos of it with you.
