Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Jon Macdonald from Florida — the man who took a humble R32 GT-R and completely transformed it into a purpose-built drag car in his own garage. No big shop. No shortcuts. Just skill, patience, and an obsession with getting it right.

Jon walks us through the full build process, the challenges of restoring and modifying a GT-R at home, and what it took to bring this car from vision to reality. The payoff? The car was officially unveiled at GT-R Festival in Ennis, Texas, where it didn’t just turn heads — it took home Best of Show.

This episode is all about grassroots passion, hands-on craftsmanship, and proving that some of the wildest builds still come out of home garages.

🎙️ Built at home. Unveiled on the biggest stage. Best of Show speaks for itself.
