It’s not pretty but almost a year since Garage Defend built their one of a kind Nissan GT-R with trademark Stingray Carbon Canards up front it still pulls a crowd. It’s one of the most aggressive looking GT-Rs in Japan and is still a one of my favourites from Tokyo AutoSalon 2009.
Regular readers will be quite familiar with the modifications Defend Racing have made to their GT-R such as:
- Garage Defend Stingray Evolution Front Canards
- Garage Defend GTU-Spec Carbon Front Mask
- Garage Defend GT Cooling Panel
- C-Ring modified standard suspension for lower ride height
- RDD 400mm rotors up front
- Bride Seats
- Takata Harnesses
- Blitz Nur Spec F-Ti Exhaust

We first saw the prototype of Aichi, Japan based Defend Racing’s GT Cooling Panel back in August and now we see the much anticipated release of the part for sale.
The GT Cooling Panels traditionally offer an improvement in cooling efficiency by ensuring air passes through the radiator instead of around it, this version also offers a great look under the hood of the GT-R.
The GT Cooling Panel replaces the standard shroud and is a bolt on fit.
Priced at 98,700 yen in Japan it’s not too badly priced either.

Well a big weekend is ahead of us, the SuperGT round 6 37th Annual Pokka 1000km race and the Customised Street mega tuner event both at Suzuka Circuit. Garage Defend don’t want to show up underdressed so today they received their Blitz production Nur-Spec F-Ti titanium exhaust to replace their currently standard exhaust.
Yes it looks a lot like their prototype Blitz exhaust seen at Nagoya Auto Trend in March this year but this final production version has a few unseen benefits such as actually improving exhaust flow.

Traditionally one of my favourite Garage Defend parts were their super high quality carbon radiator shrouds. Pretty much nothing fits like a Garage Defend GT Cooling panel on a legacy GT-R. Plenty of aluminium ones to choose from sure but carbon ones are rare and chinese copies have never worked at all.
As we predicted way way back Garage Defend now have completed their prototype GT Cooling Panel for R35 GT-R and it’s a big one.
Wrapping around the front of the engine bay there’s currently no other thing just like it, while the functionality may be questionable it sure makes a statement.

It’s probably a good thing I don’t currently live in Japan or I’d probably have spent most of my paycheck down at a place like this. Garage Defend’s corporate colour is bright red so I’d imagine they were quite happy when Nissan launched the new GT-R in that colour. Anyway here’s some photos from their workshop this week showing whats up for sale. Everything of course, if you’re keen on their R35 GT-R though you can easily tempt them with 10,000,000 yen or make an offer on their auction. Price starts at 8,880,000 yen.
