As if the R35 GT-R couldn’t get any more insane, Nissan decides to go on and develop a V-Spec version. And that’s a good thing because as we all know, you can never, and I mean never, have too much power.
They’re currently testing the car at the infamous Nürburgring in Germany, where Nissan have set [...]

This is the new aero gear that Deck debuted for the Evo X recently and as you can see, it’s very subtle. Almost a little too subtle if you ask me.
All up there’s a front lip spoiler, carbon wing mirrors and a teeny-weenie rear spoiler (if you can call it that), which you can nab [...]

The other day I noticed a couple of the new Nissan GT-Rs being sold on Motortrader, which is Malaysia’s biggest car sales website. One thing that grabbed my attention was how much more expensive the car is when compared to prices I’d heard them going for in other parts of the world - especially Japan.
I [...]

It seems we can’t get through a news week without having our eyes assailed with a picture of some rich specimen whose totalled his priceless supercar. Not long ago it was the prize tool who will go down in the history books as the one who destroyed the first ever Nissan GT-R — and on [...]

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 [...]

I’m not sure why I like this S15, because as far as aesthetics go, I’m usually not the hugest fan of darker-hues on JDM cars, nor am I a chrome aficionado, however there’s just something about it that draws my eye to this Silvia.
Garage LFW don’t manufacture a great deal of their own parts apart [...]

New Evo not breathing as well as it could? Well then you probably need something like this - 5Zigen’s ProRacer ZZ exhaust system for the Evolution X.
I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of the twin-exhaust setup, personally preferring a larger, single exit like the one Kakimoto released not long ago that I wrote about [...]

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 [...]

Though they’ve created a whole lot of body modification products for the new R35 GT-R including some stunning dry carbon parts, they’ve only just begun releasing some of the more nuts-and-bolts perfromance gear including their new engine computer for the car.
This is Amuse’s Hi-Tech ROM for the R35 which acts to raise the rev-limiter from [...]

This is Zele’s R35 GT-R demo car, showing off the new Zele body modifications they’ve produced for the machine. This orange beast is currently being shown at the Option Exiting Car Showdown (Banzai!) in Nagoya.
The colour of this thing is absolutely phenomenal and is almost identical to that of a 180SX owner I used to [...]
