Hey fellow speedhunters, here is a few shots from a group of friends from the Gatineau région up in Canada. Shots are from a meet last summer including four Nissan Pulsar GTi-R's and two very rare Mazda 323 GTR's. Waiting for summer to come to let the beasts out is very long, but thanks to Speedhunters the wait is so much easier....

Early in 2008 I was at Tsukuba Circuit when I saw this fully-tuned Nissan Pulsar GTI-R running at a track day. My memory has escaped me a bit, but I recall an SR20VE swap (or head conversion at least), a rear radiator being vented through the back windows, and of course the wide body conversion - which I'm assuming is one-off. Looking back, I really regret not tracking down the owner to learn more about the car. Since then I've searched the 'net countless times for more details no avail. Whatever the story is, I can't imagine there being another Pulsar GTI-R out there built more thoroughly than this one. -Mike Garrett...

Even though it's one of the most high tech cars that Nissan has ever produced, the Pulsar GTI-R never had much more than a cult following in Japan. I've seen some nice examples in Europe and Australia, but was disappointed that this rally-spec rocket never really caught on in the homeland. Hunting around in the Minkara site, I did manage to find this tuned GTi-R rocking an aggressive set of 17x8 Fabulous wheels. It would have been awesome to watch Nissan continue development on this car the same way that Mitsubishi and Subaru did with their rally programs and the incredible street cars they spawned... -Mike Garrett...
