Goddamn I love Super GT. As if there could be nothing better than a Japanese sports car anyway, they go and build them all out of CF, make them wider than Rosie O’Donnell’s arse, tune the engines so they’re putting out the same power as a small star and then race them a super high [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Ah yeah. I found this while trawling the ‘net this morning posted on GTRBlog and I have to say that externally, it’s gotta be the most hardcore GT-R I’ve layed eyes on so far.
There’s not much I can say to make these photos seem any better than they already are, so I’ll leave you to [...]

I can’t get away from the art today can I? Anyway, I found this wicked rendering of Calsonic’s latest GT500 car and I have to say I like it, I like it a damn lot.
That is all.

It honestly surprises me how little some people know about classic Japanese sports cars. Sure, most people in this community will be able to tell the difference between an AE86 Levin and Trueno, but I really don’t class them as classic cars…yet, anyway.
With everyone in an R35 GT-R-induced fever right now, I thought I’d show [...]
