Charles Wong 1999 Nissan GTR TBGLIVE 1

Charles Wong has always been a fan of the Skyline GT-R - having already owned an R32 and R33. One of his favorite modifications on his 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R is the Nismo R-Tune kit and carbon fiber accents. Wong says the two combined give the car an aggressive, yet subtle look. “I am looking to achieve the classic look of the GT-R, so the kit/wheels and color scheme match very well.” The GT-R already comes with plenty of power stock, which according to Wong, means the TEIN Type Flex coilovers and Dunlop Direzza ZII wheels are already enough for him to enjoy the car. Aside from upgrading the audio and multimedia, Wong says he’s satisfied with the current state of his build.
