By now, you are probably familiar with Ray Hofman. If you don't, simply put, Ray Hofman is an avid car enthusiasts who wants no less than perfection with his cars. Therefore, he entrusts SP Engineering with modifying his cars. We have worked on his R35 GT-R a couple times in the past. His first setup, back in August of 2009, consisted of the HKS GT570 kit. After a short while, he sent his R35 back for a SPE750 upgrade. You didn't think he would stop there, did you? Now he is back for a total revamp. Performance wise, he is upgrading to a Godzilla package, the best of the best that SP Engineering offers.
What Ray's Car use to look like:
The power plant itself out of the car:
Engine attached to the subframe ready to be dropped in:
Some cosmetic work to help the car look the part that it's taking on with the installment of SP's Godzilla package. Ray's car received a Satin wrap which gives the car more a sheen rather than the matte black wraps you typically see.
Some interior shots:
Ray's GTR is equipped with Bride Vorga Japan racing seats. The Vorga Japan was an ideal seat for Ray (he stands approx 6'4) as it fits larger frames.
Ultimately Ray's goal for his GTR was to put it simply "beef it up"; satin black vinyl wrap, much beefier and stickier tires (Toyo Proxes triple 8: front~285/35/20 R~315/30/20), and the installation of SP's Godzilla package did just that! You can see how aggressive the car looks now...
And for your viewing pleasure all the goodies that went into the car we had photographed. I will post a small dyno video shortly.

Yeah a few years ago I would've considered my car pretty quick. Think about how fast the GTP was when it first came out, a stock one could have it's ass handed to it by a sonata now
