2013 Nissan GT-R R35 | 630 WHP | Top Secret Japan Inspired Build

Meet Alson Lara’s 2013 Nissan GT-R R35, a 630-wheel-horsepower monster shaped by the unmistakable DNA of Top Secret Japan — one of the most respected tuning icons in the global GTR community.

In this feature inspired by the full Stance Auto Magazine story, we dive into a build that blends heritage, craftsmanship, and raw street performance. Alson Lara took the already legendary R35 platform and infused it with styling and personality that call back to Smokey Nagata’s Top Secret Japan legacy — the timeless gold finish, the aggressive lines, and the purposeful upgrades that give this GT-R its presence.

Shot by the talented photographer Marvin Recinos (@mr2mivin), this video showcases the details, character and passion behind one of the most recognisable GT-Rs in the scene today.
