Bookmark the date: October 4–5, Goodwood Motor Circuit. Lando’s Liberty Walk Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R – the Kaido-Works widebody you’ve seen lighting up your feed – is confirmed for Classic Japfest. If you want to see one of the wildest R32s on UK soil up close, this is the moment. Secure your spot now.
This isn’t just a bodykit on a cult chassis. It’s a fully re-engineered remix of JDM history, executed by Liberty Walk Europe with ColourKraft handling the heavy fabrication and paint. The Kaido-Works kit originally landed on the narrower R32 GTS-t, so nothing on Lando’s wider-arched GT-R simply bolted up; the team extended panels, reshaped rear quarters and even relocated the rear lights to make it flow as if Nissan stamped it this way. Factory-smooth, only far wilder.
The finish is stealth perfection: a full respray in Bentley Beluga Black with Raptor-coated front/rear diffusers and sills for durability, plus satin Quadrant decals that appear only when the light catches them. Monochrome, menacing, and loaded with easter-egg detail.
Want to see that paint pop under Goodwood skies? Head to Classic Japfest then!
Stance That Works at Speed
Air-low for the show, road-ready for the drive. The Skyline rides on AirREX air suspension with Air Lift Performance 3P management, backed by Hardrace camber/toe arms and an Ultra Racing strut brace. A Japspeed HICAS delete keeps the rear predictable, while a serious K-Sport big brake kit (8-pots/356mm floating discs up front; 4-pots/330mm rear) with Pagid RS29 pads ensures stopping power to match the theatre.
Wheel choice is gloriously era-correct: SSR Formula MESH three-piece (18x11J front, 18×12.5 rear) wrapped in Yokohama Advan A052 (265/35R18 front, 315/35R18 rear). It’s a deliberate nod to the golden age of Japanese tuning. “We wanted to replicate the Japanese demo car. SSR are a classic Japanese brand,” says the team.
HKS-Built RB26 With Modern Brains
Under the bonnet, this RB26DETT is all killer, no filler. Think uprated HKS turbos, HKS race cams, HKS fuel rail/injectors, A’PEXi Power Intake, front-mount intercooler, Mishimoto radiator & oil cooler, Fujitsubo Legalis exhaust with decat, and a Link G4 ECU delivering launch control and anti-lag—mapped for a healthy 550bhp. It’s old-school turbo drama with modern reliability; tidy touches like a carbon slam panel and Ultra Racing brace keep the bay purposeful, not flashy.
Quadrant DNA, Driver Focus
Inside, it’s lightweight intent with brand polish: Tillett B10 racing seats (spec’d by Lando himself), Takata harnesses, Nardi Classic wheel, Kode harness bar, rear seat delete, plus OEM-plus touches like Nismo mats/shifter. Tunes come via Kenwood head unit, Kicker amplification and speakers, and a JL Audio 12-inch active sub—because Kaido-Works doesn’t mean quiet works.
“Lando designed and spec’d the Tillett seats himself. He was involved in the build,” explains James Pearman of Liberty Walk Europe, underscoring how closely the car reflects Quadrant’s aesthetic.
See It at Goodwood – Classic Japfest, Oct 4–5
Goodwood is the perfect backdrop for a build that fuses heritage and next-gen craft. You’ll get all the details that photos can’t capture: the texture of the Raptor sections, the way the satin Quadrant decals ghost into view, and the sheer presence of those SSR Formula MESH barrels filling the arches. Do not miss it.
