Racing the Prince Skyline BLSI

To try and recover from the thoughts of a Skyline SUV, I offer to you this video (shared by Steve, cheers man) It’s part of a series of 7 videos which I’ve provided all links for but this one in-particular (Part 2 of 7) shows a BLSI being thrown around on the track with old [...]

Skyline Crossover SUV.

I apologise for the lack of classic or retro in this post but I was just over browsing on the Japanese Nissan Motor Co. website and stumbled across the links to a CROSSOVER vehicle.

Nagoya Classic Car Show

For your viewing pleasure, we present an album of photos from last week’s Nagoya Classic Car show, taken by Ewan @ hayatonka.com. I guess this is the sort of grass-roots “nostalgic JDM” gathering that a lot of us can only dream about attending in person! as they say, pictures tell a thousand words, so I [...]

The Internet, Cars & Photoshop

The joy of having Photoshop or an equivalent picture editing program as well as digital images of cars, means you can modify your car to see how things would look, without even spending a penny (other than the obvious costs of the software/hardware).  Over the years I’ve done a myriad of little bits and pieces [...]

Hasemi Racing Heritage, Known.

A snap from the recent Japanese SuperGT race in Sepang shows the Hasemi Motorsport car harking back to R30 Super Silhouette livery. I for one, approve! -Michael

FLAWLESS VICTORY (or, Gallery Pt. 2)

the little TX3 soldiers on to see out another trackday. Shame on all you heartless bastards up top who were laughing at it on Sunday! anyway, here is another gallery of shots taken yesterday by my friend Gareth – I basically handed him my E-500 and told him to go off and take a few [...]
