The vehicles we drive are a reflection of our own identities. That's why hunting for a new set of wheels is not simply a matter of choosing any vehicle that's on sale down at the lot. On the contrary, we all have our own complex list of criteria that guides us through the decision making process. For some, nothing is more important than engine size and transmission type. For others, it's all about trunk space.

However, the one unifying criterion that is at the top of everyone's list is style. There is something about the unique design of certain cars, trucks and SUVs that attracts us, often in very primal, inexplicable ways. Like moths to the warming glow of a light bulb, we are drawn in by the curves, lines and contours of certain vehicles. And, once they catch our eye, we are driven to acquire them, or at least another vehicle that looks quite similar.

Even after our thirst for the right automobile is quenched, we still want to project our own unique personality into its design. While there are superficial ways of doing this (e.g. a pair of fuzzy-dice dangling from the rear view mirror, or a personalized license plate frame that often reads, "I'd rather be golfing"), there are more substantial ways of modifying the attitude of your vehicle.

A simple yet significant way of customizing your vehicle's presence is by upgrading the stock grille to a more powerful, more expressive billet grille. AutoAnything carries a huge array of high-quality billet grilles in an almost endless number of designs, so you're sure to find one that perfectly matches and reflects your individual sense of style.

Before you begin sifting through an extensive stock of premium billet grilles, take a moment to learn a little about the basics of their construction, installation and other important characteristics. Use this resource as a guide for picking your perfect billet grille.

Fundamentals of Billet Grille Style

Billet grilles are crafted only from materials that are proven to be rugged, dependable and long-lasting.

Aluminum Billet Grilles

The material most widely used in the billet grille industry is aluminum, for good reasons, too. Aluminum is known for its strength, versatility, low-density, durability and resistance to corrosion. Because of its malleability, aluminum can easily be rolled, stamped, drawn, spun, hammered or forged into almost any shape, making it the ideal metal for the automotive and aerospace industries. While there are 7 different types of aluminum alloy, billet grille manufacturers use either the 5xxx or 6xxx series. The difference between these two types is that they are wrought from different alloy components. 5xxx series aluminum uses magnesium as its principle alloy, which makes it mild to moderately strong, and resistant to corrosion. In the 6xxx series, a mixture of magnesium and silicon are used, producing a higher-strength aluminum with excellent corrosion resistance.

Stainless Steel Billet Grilles

Known the world over for its strength and corrosion resistance, stainless steel is a popular metal used for crafting billet grilles. The reason that it resists rust so successfully is that it has a high chromium content. In fact, for steel to be considered stainless, it needs to have at least a 10.5% chromium content. Plus, stainless steel is incredibly tough, resilient and easily fashioned into a multitude of forms and shapes.

Just like the aluminum, there are two types of stainless steel used in billet grilles. The more economical of the two, 409 series stainless steel, is commonly used for many different automotive accessories because of its sturdiness. The other type of stainless steel, 304, is another popular automotive metal. It has a higher chromium content for the ultimate in corrosion resistance.

ABS Plastic Billet Grilles

The most cost effective billet grille material available is the ABS Plastic. Widely used across the entire automobile accessories spectrum, ABS Plastic is a lightweight, rigid and durable thermoplastic material. While it is not as strong as stainless steel or aluminum, ABS Plastic still makes an excellent medium for building billet grilles because the plastic is impervious to rust and quite durable. For added customization, it can usually be painted to match or accent your stock paint.

To Billet or Not to Billet

After deciding what materials you would like you grille to be made out of, billet grilles can be divided into two camps based on their installation type: bolt over billet grilles and replacement billet grilles. Their installation is quick and easy. In fact my 8 year old son installed our bolt over grille on our '02 Ford F150 in nearly 5 minutes!

Gtr the Legend is Real

In 1952, a Japanese company “Prince Motor Company”, which was a former firm producing Zero Fighter warplanes, generated a Skyline vehicle.  After that, Nissan took over it and developed as Nissan Skyline, the topmost car of Nissan.  Since that day, Skyline has retained image and prestige of its position perpetually which the best car is Skyline GTR.  However, Nissan still needs to shift Nissan Skyline and the easy way is to use the name of such topmost car “Skyline” (Skyline GTR) but “Skyline” is deleted, therefore, it becomes GTR finally.

Design

If talking about Nissan “Skyline”, an outstanding external appearance is a facet since the first model of Nissan brand to R34 code.  However, V35 and V36 code begins to show its curve but there is a feeling that Skyline with “V’ code does not have spirit of Skyline much.

Although GTR with R35 code is designed to be modern and different from R code of past Skyline, it has lines around the car telling its own origin and pedigree which is “facet lines”.  However, its facet makes drivers feel that it might be constructed from work hard for aerodynamic design because this facet seems to facilitate air flow more as if it uses every tiny air to increase its efficiency.  Especially, “these facet lines” still make GTR brutal in every aspect such as its air intake emphasizing “one stop air intake” like a front side to extract heat to a big point.  Moreover, a side air intake is like a gill which is continuous line from front fender.

On the back side, there is an air intake beneath the car or diffuser to increase a pressure of high speed driving.  It is flanked with double exhaust pipes.  A roof is designed to blow air to the back better with the curve roof called Aero Blade Canopy.  It seems to bring the air into a back spoiler and C curve antenna is also called Sword Edge but it is really looking good.  Of course, it is painted specially for GTR with high quality color, Double Clear Coat, tested by Anti-Chipping system to prevent scratch from little stones too.

Looking through inside the car, you could feel a sport driving (like a sport racing very much).  All devices support this professional driving, for instance, middle console tilting to driver, steering wheel with many control buttons which allows driver adjust many things without taking hands out from the steering wheel, compact seat and separate air conditioners for driver and another one.  Besides, a chunky gearshift still makes driver feel good and there is a Start button in the middle with noticeable red color.  The position of hand brake is placed for prompt use.  Seeing through the steering wheel, there is a large gauge in the middle of monitor with big red numbers at 7,000 rounds whereas there is a monitor showing distance and speed on the bottom.  On the left, you would see a hand showing speed up to 340 kms/hr and there is a big clear text to display the position of used gear on the right.  Additional, there are many buttons to control automatic air conditioners divided into right and left side as well as all premium stereos of Bose are equipped already.  Then, this is an important distinctive point because it is three-set button to pump up and down to adjust the driving for your emotion.  The left is used to control gear shift while the middle is used to control the smoothness of undercarriage as well as the right is used for vehicle dynamic control (VDC-R).  Such three-set button is recommended to adjust at “R” to enhance your driving excitement.  By the way, the huge monitor in the middle of console is not just a television absolutely because this is “GTR” touch screen to display several gauges as normal mode such as boot turbo, oil temperature, oil pressure, acceleration, start, pressure, brake, steering angle, table of gear shift, 3D G-Force gauge as statistics and other excellent options.

Engine

The 3.8-litre engine VR38DETT with 6 cylinders built in v-shape includes DOHC and twin turbo producing 480 hp at 6,800 rpm and 588 newton meter torque at 3,200-5,200 rpm.  Top speed is 311 km/hr while acceleration 0-96 km/hr is 3.5 seconds (vehicle weight 1,740 kgs.).  Even though the engine is very wonderful, Nissan gives precedence to environment by controlling the least exhaust (really very less) and it passes the Japanese standard of least exhaust called “U-LEV”.

Powertrain System

Moving the gear to the back could balance weight between front and back.  The prominent point is the two main shafts in the middle of chassis which is the new powertrain system of Nissan called Independent Transaxle 4WD.  As a result, all gears of GTR are moved to the back meanwhile there is a 4 wheel drive also.  Wow...

Furthermore, gear box is interesting too because GTR consists of Twin Clutch Sport Shift Transmission known as GR6-Type Dual-Clutch of BrogWarner (DualTronic) to control 6-gear shift system.  Just move it to “M” and then you could immediately control paddle shift installed behind the steering wheel.

Nevertheless, there are some complaints from GTR lovers that why there is no normal gear included and would it be enjoyable?  In spite of GTR comprises with gears which seem to be automatic, actually, it should be called the normal gear instead because you do not need to pedal the clutch.  If you want to go fastest as you want, there is no any technique, just accelerate tightly and see smoke from your hot wheels…!

Balance and Break

Materials technology integration is another important thing of balance and GTR uses light weight and strong materials like carbon-fiber and aluminium combined by high technology for confident balance when driving around a curve.  Additional, shock up system belongs to Bilstein DampTronic with front Monoblock of Brembo break in the front or break controller or 6-piston and 4-back with run-flat tires.

Safety

Fully equipped with safety devices, GTR contains with dual front airbags, side-impact airbags and inflatable curtain.  Front hood is designed to bounce and bear passenger in case of accident to protect as safe as it could.  Active safety is always ready to work, for example, anti locking brake system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EDB).  For unskillful drivers, open VDC-R system to be able to control everything.  Do you want to exercise your skill now?
