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 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 [...]

I love it when someone goes out of their way to modify a car that’s seldom tinkered with, or they take a whole new approach when modifying their car. Now just to clarify, when I say take a new approach, I don’t mean getting all ‘Pimp-My-Ride’ on your car and installing fish tanks, snow-cone makers [...]
R35 GT-R? Screw That, I Want One Of These!

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 [...]

I can’t say that I’m the biggest fan of VIP-styled cars, but when you compare the Japanese philosophy to more well-known VIP efforts like the chrome-laden tanks the Americans create, you can start to see some differences begin to crop up.
Here is a JZS161 Aristo, created by B-Spark; an aero-parts maker from Kyoto. Although they’re [...]

How much do you really love JDM? I mean really, really love JDM? Enough to wear a shirt displaying your overwhelming passion for the community and all things in it? If so, then maybe these shirts from Jemesama are for you!
They’ve got a lot of different designs on their site regarding performance tuning and Jap-car [...]
