GALLERY>> NISSAN 370Z VS DATSUN 240Z

By now, many of our Speedhunters readers have probably already read my " driving impression story " on the new Nissan 370Z. However, I wanted to take a quick look back at the design similarities between the new 370Z and the old school S30-chassis...(read more)

The whole November-January period is a very busy time for car events in Japan. This past weekend had the Nismo Festival as well as the "Games Tokyo" event in Odaiba which featured MSC drifting as well as 2-wheeled stunt and race action. I wasn't able to make it out there, but our friends at Wrecked Magazine have posted a ton of photos on their site....(read more)

Just to balance out all the Nissan's you have been seeing, I present you this Honda NSX. I found this car for sale on the global Auto website thanks to a tip from the JDMego blog . When I was looking at the ad for the car I noticed it was already...(read more)

EVENT>>NISMO FESTIVAL 2008 PT.1

I never really thought I could be "sick" of seeing Skyline GT-R's, but after spending all day yesterday at the 2008 Nismo Festival (and sitting in traffic jams on the way home), that's how I'm feeling...OK, so I'm not really sick of seeing them, but that shows just how big the Nismo Festival is. The auto industry isn't in good shape right now, but you wouldn't know it after being at this event. In fact, from an enthusiast's standpoint, things are actually looking...

MAGAZINES>> NOSTALGIC HERO OCT ISSUE

The other day, I had to drop off a car in Torrance CA, so I decided to stop by one of my favorite places to hang out - the Mitsuwa Marketplace on Western and Carson. Stopping by the Japanese bookstore inside Mitsuwa, I ran into Hiro Sumida, who was also...(read more)

EVENT>> JTUNED MEET AT STANTON AUTOBACS STORE

CAR FEATURE>> KOGUCHI POWER RPS13 180SX

Damn, just look at how mean and how cool this 180SX looks in this photo!!! I'm not even an S13 guy, but it makes me drool! This is definitely the type of car that would inspire someone to buy an S13!!! Damn, I love it!!! So dope. I know that some...(read more)

CAR FEATURE>> MSPEED GT-R

This car is my favorite R34. It's a perfect example of how a Time Attack Skyline should look like. Best thing of it all, it has the performance figures to back it up. Last year, during the Revspeed Time Attack Challenge at Tsukuba, Mspeed achieved...(read more)

DRIVING IMPRESSION>> 2008 INFINITI M45 Sport

Although some people may think the body style is past due for the next stage of evolution, the 2008 Infiniti M45S (equipped with the Sport Package) still brings a smile to my face. Perhaps it is the way the responsive steering feels or the rumble of the...(read more)

RETROSPECTIVE>>THE NISSAN SILVIA & FRIENDS

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 corner sideways, but the model actually has roots that go back 45 years. The first Nissan Silvia was the CSP311 model which was shown at the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show. The CSP311 shared the same platform as the Fairlady 1600 Roadster, but had a stylish hand-crafted coupe body. It...

RETROSPECTIVE>>NISSAN SUPER SILHOUETTE RACERS

Excess. That's the only word that can describe the Super Silhouette race cars of the 1980's. They were excessive in power, looks, and image. Nissan in particular had a few different Super Silhouette racers that were very successful in competition and inspired waves of Japanese car owners to mimic their style of outlandish wide body kits, giant rear spoilers, and mega-wide wheels. Before we look at the cars themselves, a quick intro to the Super Silhouette series is in order....(read...

USER RANKING>> BEST JDM R34 GT-R

ARCHIVE>>GIVING THANKS FOR DESKTOPS

Being an American in Japan on Thanksgiving is kind of tough since uhh...there is no Thanksgiving here. I don't even think you can buy a Turkey in Japan. Anyways, enough of my ethnocentric moping. Here are a couple of Nissan-related high res desktop wallpapers for you guys. One is a shot of Koguchi's D1GP 180SX in action, and the other is this shot from last week's HPI event at Tsukuba Circuit. Both widescreen and standard versions can be found in our Desktops section.

RETROSPECTIVE>>THE NISSAN SKYLINE PT.2

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 cars with a sleek, stretched out look. In Japan the R30 Skyline TV commercials featured legendary actor and driver Paul Newman, and there was even a special "Paul Newman version" of the car sold in Japan.The example in the...

RETROSPECTIVE>>THE NISSAN SKYLINE PT.1

Last week, I took a look back at the lineage of the Nissan Fairlady Z model, and now it's time to continue with a look at the Nissan Skyline. The Skyline is one of Japan's longest running car models and Nissan celebrated the 50th anniversary of the car last year. 50 years is a long time for ANY car model, especially a Japanese one. Actually, to say "Nissan Skyline Retrospective" is not entirely correct as the earliest models were not made by Nissan itself, but by the Prince Motor...
