The Nissan GT-R might be done rolling off the assembly line, but the R35’s legacy? It’s far from over. Tuners worldwide just can’t resist giving this beast fresh life, and Japan’s Liberty Walk—those mad scientists of wild widebody conversions—just dropped their latest love letter to the machine.
This time, they’ve slapped on a slick black-and-gold John Player Special scheme, a throwback to Lotus’ F1 glory days in the ‘70s and ‘80s. No cheap wrap here; it’s a full-blown paint job, layered over Liberty Walk’s usual aero theatrics. The result? A jaw-dropping mashup of JDM muscle and vintage racing vibes.
Let’s talk stance. Liberty Walk hacked the GT-R’s proportions, bolting on swollen fenders with actual vents, skirt extensions that could scrape pavement, and a front end mean enough to scare traffic. Out back? A wing big enough to land a kite on, plus a diffuser that looks stolen from a time-attack special.

Blacked-out wheels, Toyo rubber, the whole nine yards; even the suspension’s on air, letting it squat like it’s ready to pounce.
Under the hood? Probably stock—but let’s be real, the GT-R’s twin-turbo V-6 never exactly needed help. “Godzilla” didn’t earn that name by playing nice.
So yeah, Nissan stopped making them. Big deal. The R35 isn’t vanishing; it’s mutating. And Liberty Walk’s latest? Proof that icons don’t fade away—they just get louder.
