In fitting with our celebration of the Nissan S-Chassis, here's a repost of a story I did back in November '08. And now for a look at the history of another one of Nissan's most famous cars, the Silvia and its sister-models. I'm sure when most of you hear "Silvia", you probably picture a tuned S13 or S15 blasting through a
Here's the second part of my Skyline retrospective from November '08. Now we will continue our look back at the history of the Nissan Skyline from where we left off yesterday, with the R30 chassis. The R30 was released in 1981 and moved towards a more modern design than the C210 model. The coupe versions in particular were very good looking
Note - To kick off "Skyline Week", here's a repost of a retrospective I did during Nissan Month in November '08. The Skyline is one of Japan's longest running car models and Nissan celebrated the 50th anniversary of the car in 2007. 50+ years is a long time for ANY car model, especially a Japanese one. Actually, to say "Nissan
Hot rodding and custom car building has always been one of the best mediums for personal expression. Whether it's a bold new way of pulling that extra MPH on the salt flats, or a technique that simply adds a unique look to a car, the world of hot rods and customs if full of self-styled artists. Of all these people, few are more well known than Ed
As we wrap up BMW month, there's one more big retrospective piece left to do - the M cars. For over 30 years M-badged cars have embodied BMW's motoring spirit on roads and racing circuits around the world. You've already seen lots of BMW's race cars this month, so let's take a look at the history of production M cars, dating back
One of the things that we've looked at it often on Speedhunters is the artistic aspect of car building and modification. When it comes to the relationship of artistry and the automobile, there's no better example than the BMW Art Cars. For over 30 years, famous artists from around the world have turned BMW's into their personal canvases
As you've seen in the Speedhunters '09 Speed Week coverage, there's an incredible variety of machines that come out to Bonneville to run on the hallowed salt. From streamliners to motorcycles to pickup trucks, if it has wheels chances are you'll find it out there. Japanese tuners have long had an addiction to the salt, with cars like
Since we are looking at Volkswagen this month, I figured it'd be cool to take a look back at an event I went to in the spring of 2008 - the Street VW's Jamboree in Odaiba, Tokyo. Before this show, I'd never experienced a Japanese VW event and I was excited to see what I'd find there. Since the Japanese are known for taking their automotive
As you've probably seen, the vast majority of my drift photo archive comes from events in Japan. Before I left for Japan though, I had the opportunity to attend what is probably the best grassroots drift event held in the United States - the Ziptied All Star Bash. Brian "BH" Harte had the idea to make a two-day event that celebrated the
Over the past days we've made a number of posts looking back at the year in various racing series around the world, and I want to continue on that theme with this post. Since Japanese tuning culture is a big part of Speedhunters, I figured I'd put together a post looking back at some of the tuning trends and breakthroughs seen in Japan over
