I just received this video through the freshly-launched JDM Asia Myspace page (add friend now!) showing HKS’s latest demo cars, the new Nissan R35 GT-R and Subaru Impreza WRX Sti.
As the video is in Japanese I can’t understand what they’re talking about in terms of the specifications of these machines, but from the video footage [...]

It’s a sad fact that outside of Japan, examples of almost any late-model performance car in a condition like this are extremely hard to come across. Generally as soon as a person imports a car like this into their home country it’s almost immediately dismantled and then re-engineered with psychedelic bodykits (Veilside, I’m looking at [...]

Every so often you see a tuning house go semi-psychopathic on a car and rip it apart only to create an end result which barely resembles what they started with. Top Fuel’s carbon S2000 is one such result of over-engineering and insane levels of tuning, and a car which I have a whole lot of [...]

Thanks to the guys over at GrandJDM, I’ve been immersing myself in classic JDM culture a bit more regularly of late and have been trawling the ‘net for some fantastic examples of old-school charm.
The Cedric is a car that has been in production by Nissan since 1960, and for those of you out there who [...]

As a kinda tribute to the return of Nobuteru to D1, I thought I’d post up some pics and info of the famous Altezzas he’ll be piloting on his return to the competition at Fuji next month.

With 560PS to play with in a package weighing only 1180kg, this 3S-GTE powered hyper-Altezza is stroked to 2.2L [...]

According to Auto-Otaku, Nobuteru Taniguchi (GT300’s Yunker Power Taisan Porsche driver) is set to return to his old stable at the HKS D1 team this year starting with next month’s round at Fuji. Apparently the information is posted on Nobu’s personal blog, however as it’s in Japanese and I barely know my ichis from [...]

Any incarnation of the Evo family have always been hardcore cars and provide super-happy amounts of that joy feeling even in stock standard form. Of course, this doesn’t stop tuning houses fettling with the hamster wheel that makes these bad boys tick and already, the story of the Evo X is no different.
HKS have [...]

Been looking around hard for an 800PS GT-R in order to slay the Ferrari owner down the road in a drag race? Well, if you’ve got a spare 6,500,000 yen (RM210,000, $65,500 USD) to spare, then maybe this one being sold by Japan’s Global Auto is for you.
When you think about it, 65 grand isn’t [...]

JUN have got their hands on the new Mitsubishi Evolution X and have only lightly modified the car, however the results that the yellow missile have already displayed are astonishing to say the least.
The car is only said to be the entry-level RS 5-speed, and being simply modified with an HKS F-CON V Pro engine [...]

In case you didn’t already know, an engine ‘knock’ is the result of an abnormal engine detonation, caused my the wrong air/fuel ratio and can lead to a catastropic failure - meaning, your engine could explode into a thousand tiny pieces or you could experience a piston turning into a missile and promptly ejecting itself [...]
