The World GT1 Championship kicks off in just two weeks time, with the first round at Abu Dhabu's Formula 1 venue of Yas Marina on April 16/17. For the 12 teams taking part in this year's new, global series, every minute of the last few months has been precious – and there's been precious little time for most teams to complete their
This R35 has undergone minimal modifications but has maximum presence. The car looks almost stock, but those small touches like the Hasemi carbon frontlip and and sideskirt (can I call it that?) make it stand out. After seeing this car I feel that a nice drop can make any car look good. The drop has been achieved with a Esprit Quantum coil over set
The night after the RX-7 annual meeting last week I found myself returning to Daikoku PA for yet another gathering. This time it was something closer to heart as I met up with a few friends of mine, most of them GT-R owners, as well as others with cool and interesting cars. For years now a bunch of us "foreigners" have been religiously meeting
In stock form the R35 already has that look that will turn heads. But when you add little touches here and there the car can get a whole new look.

Thanks to my fellow Speedhunters Andy and Rod we can see the R35's that were present during the Sema show. I will make another User Ranking post out of this because the first one was a success.

Here's an interesting piece of news for Nissan Month. The rumorists at Japan's Best Car Magazine are now speculating that Nissan may release an ultra limited production Le Mans edition of the R35 GT-R. With roots going back to the old school LM R33's, the new car will supposedly push out out somewhere around 600hp and include a number of
Mine's; A Japanese household name in tuning, made famous by numerous Hot Version and Best Motoring DVD's. We all remember the battle between the Amuse Supra and Mine's R34; the battle of the straight inline six. The mastermind behind Mine's is Michizo Niikura. He started his career at Bridgestone but turned his attention to tuning cars
This past weekend was a busy one for time attack action around the world. In addition to the inaugural Australian Super Lap event, we also saw the fourth round of the UK Time Attack series at Oulton Park. All accounts say that this round was the most challenging of the Time Attack season so far and the weather should be to blame for that one. In typically
The Audi TT is known in general as a hair dressers car, but when I first layed my eyes on this example I had to adjust my opinion about the TT. This is not your ordinary Audi TT, the owner decided that the stopping power of the standard brakes weren't enough so he opted for a new brake assembly from the new Nissan GT-R. I already saw a R35 brake
I was scanning one of the GT-R forums, NAGTROC over lunch, when I came across this stunning Matte Black R35 from Singapore. I havent seen those LED lights in the lower bumper before. Thanks to the power of the Internet, the owner, 'lung007' was advised of the thread and was able to clarify that the car is wrapped in matte black vinyl material
