Before I conclude my R's Day coverage, I want to take some time to talk about some other cars that were present at Laguna Seca during the event. Besides the GTRs, there were also a large volume of FRS' and BRZs as 86 Cup was also hosting their NorCal vs. SoCal time attack competition. Most... Continue Reading →
2017 R’s Day @ Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca [Event Coverage Part 2]
Moving on to the bulk of my R's Day coverage, let's continue with a closer look at Charles Wong's Bayside Blue R34 and the rest of the "legacy" GTRs at the event. Unfortunately, I don't have much in terms of the R35s since they were stock or near stock and I want to keep the... Continue Reading →
2017 R’s Day @ Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca [Event Coverage Part 1]
GTA's Super Lap Battle in the beginning of November was suppose to be my last event of the year as I still have some Japan stuff that I wanted to put up on the site and also I have to make time for the busy holiday season. But here we are, discussing my second event... Continue Reading →
Tokyo Encounter: A Blackened R33
While on my last trip to Japan, my friends and I made plans to head over to Odaiba and check out the life-sized Gundam that's on display. Coincidentally, that weekend was also D1GP so it made for a perfect opportunity to do some car spotting while we were there and boy was there some pretty... Continue Reading →
R’s Meeting 2015
Another year, another R's Meeting. If you guys don't know what R's Meeting is, it's an annual gathering of GTRs held at the famous Fuji Speedway in Japan. As far as meets wise, I can't think of anything better than this. Photos via MINKARA Enkei and Endless GTRs. The Rocket Dancer R34. The Global Auto... Continue Reading →
R33 Perfection!
Considering the R33 is nearly 20 years old, most GTR versions are still kept in absolute mint condition, such as this immaculate Midnight Purple example. This gorgeous GTR is spot on as far as modifications go. On the exterior and footwork department, this GTR is kept simple and functional with a Trust front lip and... Continue Reading →
The Silver Lining: 800HP R33 GTR
I can probably speak for the majority of the car community and say that the R33 GTR is probably the least favorite Skyline among us car enthusiasts. But, with some proper aftermarket help, the chunky R33 can be just as formidable as its brethrens. Photos via Yahoo Auctions This R33 is a fine example of... Continue Reading →
For Love of Scaled Models #3: R33 GTR x BBS LM
I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with the details and customization on scaled models these days. You can literally build any car down to scale and have the parts and stance to go with it...... and that's fucking awesome. Photos via Yahoo Auctions This 1/18 scaled R33 is as bad ass as they come; rocking... Continue Reading →
Built For Tough: Bulletproof R33 GTR
Although not making an insane amount of power (650HP).....This JDM R33 GTR is literally bulletproof. And when I say bulletproof, I'm talking JUN pistons and rods and a balanced crankshaft capable of handling well over 800+HP. The rest of the car is well.....self explanatory with the help of some classic bronze TE37 linked up to... Continue Reading →
One Sublime R33
I must say the R33 GTR is probably my least favorite among Nissan's flagship line. The sheer bulkiness and elongated shape of the car makes it less appealing than the other generations of GTRs. However, with a few minor strategic tweaks, the R33 can seem a lot more appealing... Photos via Yahoo Auctions A subtle... Continue Reading →
