When I recently found out that the owner of this dedicated track S15 Silvia manages to lap Tsukuba in 55-sec I knew I had to dedicate a small post to this incredible car. Suzuki-san, the owner, had his time attack project built by Scorch Racing and Ennepetal with a goal of achieving the fastest possible amateur time around the small Ibaraki-ken circuit. For a privateer to achieve times dedicated tuning shops employing professional drivers would boast about, is simply mind-boggling. And the base of...

This is something you don't see every day, a full C-West bodykit on a street driven S15. I really love the color of this car, it doesn't shout but it does grabs your attention. There is one thing, I couldn't identify the wheels, they look like Gram Lights T57. -Jeroen Willemsen Spotted on Lord Bas Flickr

It seems a few of you may have been a little confused about our theme for this month. Although we ran some special S-chassis features to mark the dates of 1-3, 1-4, and 1-5, the S-Chassis isn't the January theme. Of course, that doesn't mean we won't feature a badass S-chassis that pops up. Case in point, this drag-tuned S15 from Australia....

It's January fifth, so it's time to post some reader-owned S15's. As you'd expect, the S15's were far outnumbered by the S14's and S13's, but as you'll see, there's some very impressive cars here. Now, let's enjoy some Ichi-Gos from around the globe!...

I'm busy making a list with pictures of famous and inspirational S-chassis cars for the coming days. The cars I have so far include; Koguchi's D1 180SX, Rauh Welt's S15, Team Burst S13, Team Magician's S14a, Rocket Bunny S13, Nob's S15 and a few more. But I'm not there yet and I need your help. Which S-chassis car do you like the most and think should be mentioned in the list? Let me know in the comments! -Jeroen Willemsen

Happy New Year everybody! It's New Year's Day and we are already kicking off what should be another awesome year on Speedhunters. To start the month, we want to show some appreciation for all of the Nissan S-Chassis owners in the community. With the dates 1-3, 1-4, and 1-5 falling in the upcoming week, we want all the Nissan Silvia, 180SX, 240SX, and 200SX owners out there to send us photos of their cars, so we can post them on the site throughout the month. It will be similar to our 8-6 day festivities from August If you or someone know owns an S-chassis, here's what to do -...

Last weekend at the Formula Drift awards banquet, an award for "Best Looking Car" was given out. I'm not exactly sure what criteria was used in the judging, but I don't disagree with the results. As part of our Driver's Month features on Speedhunters, we figured it'd be the perfect time to do a feature on the "Rossta" S15. On Saturday morning I took a short drive over to Garage Boso in Gardena where co-owner Frank Siharath showed me around the shop and rolled out the infamous multicolored S15 for some photos....

We're only a few days past the end of the '09 Formula Drift Season and already the offseason news is starting to flow in. Kenji Yamanaka, who's driven for Drift Emporium over the past couple seasons has a new ride for 2010 - sort of. He's actually going back behind the wheel of the old JIC Magic S15 that he drove from 2005-07. The car has been purchased by Bridgeway Motorsports in the SF Bay Area and is being outfitted with a GM LSx engine to match Kenji's driving style. You might...

With the D1 Grand Prix all done for a good five months I thought it would be cool to take a look back over the last few years and more to the point at some of the top drifters that have participated in the Japanese drift championship. I've picked two names that are synonymous with D1, drivers that for some reason or another are no longer competing at a professional level in Japan. First up is Katsuhiro Ueo, in my opinion the best AE86 drifter out there... ...driver of the unmistakable Racing...

A week ago or so me and some mates headed out to a private drift day at Queensland Raceway here in Australia. This day, was just one of those days, 5:30AM wakeup in winter, at the stage where you can't see 2 meters past your front door there is that much fog. The air is crisp and you're full of adrenalin for a big day! These events are held monthly during the week, and I missed out on two last semester, but I was lucky to get this day off and I'm glad i did! Myself and Robo in his Hachi...

It's been a while since we released a Speedhunters video I know.... but after a few delays, the production of a whole new set of videos is now under way! This particular video was shot at Ebisu Circuit last August... we had just finished filming the Team Orange Triple Drift film but I had one more shot I wanted to get done. So I asked Kumakubo if he could mangji drift directly towards me..... And then circle the camera, before manji-ing again all the way down the straight.... "No problem...

Speedhunters all-out drift month might be over, but everyone knows that that the drifting never really stops here. Here's some high res goodness from the lens of John Brooks at the NFS European Drift Championship opener at Oulton Park. The car of course is event winner Phil Morrison's Toyota-powered Drift Works S15 Silvia. Widescreen and standard versions are available now in the Speedhunters Desktops section. -Mike Garrett...

The first time I ever saw Japanese drifting in person, was at an event called GT Battle, held at Rockingham Circuit, UK in the summer of 2005. After watching a lot of JDM Options and reading any Japanese magazine I could get my hands on, I was pretty excited to see two D1GP icons on European soil. The event was held in preparation for the D1GP that would kick off later that year at Silverstone on the 2 nd of October 2005. In the morning we headed out to the circuit and there I saw the Kei Office...

Take an S15 Silvia convertible, give the car proper stance car, add a dash of 19" E66 7 series BMW wheels, and sprinkle some Tra Kyoto magic, and poof! You get a flavor of S15 that has not been tasted by many. And so I ask, how does it taste? -Linhbergh Nguyen

The Driftworks S15 has been overhauled for the 2009 drift season. The most obvious change is the new color, but the engine has also been tweaked and now it delivers 666.4 bhp. You can check out more pictures here on the Driftworks forum. You can also check out our previous feature on the car that John Brooks made in November last year. -Jeroen Willemsen

Maybe some of you guys remember the crash of two R33's owned by Japspeed in the European Drifting Championship during the last round on Silverstone. Luckily, both drivers, Shane Lynch and Danny Ayles, got out without any injuries. Hooray for doorbars! Click here for the video of the crash. The car snapped back viciously and bounced off the tyre wall into Danny's car. Shane had no chance but to hold on and await impact. Danny, who was in transition (hand-braked sideways), could not avoid Shane's...
