Over the years, there have been more than a few JGTC/Super GT cars racing with SSR wheels. From 350Z to CR-Z, many cars have used them in the pursuit of speed. But who wore the wheel best? You decide. 1st up is the now discontinued SSR Type C. Seen on 3 cars in the early …

Gone Car…
Man… I gotta get this damn LS swap finished. Should’ve just left the car alone, the rotary setup ran great, no issues. Been over 3 years since I drove it lol. People have told me it’s like a phantom car because they’ve heard about it, seen pictures but have never seen it in person. It’s …

1999
How many of you remember 1999? Worrying about Y2K (or the millenium bug), Bill Clinton getting impeached, or the first ever Spongebob Squarepants episode on Nikelodeon.. One of the biggest things to happen in my life in 1999 was the tuning car boom. A time filled with street racing mischief and Lambo doors. We’re actually …

G-Nose S30 on SSR MK-I
A few years ago, the world was graced with this epic 240ZG with a Kenmeri Skyline tail light conversion. That’s right, you heard me, a Skyline tail light conversion. Now while this may sound like some awful 1999 tuner nonsense, I think it looks quite good. The SSR MK-I’s also compliment this car really well…A …

The “Money Burning Mistress” AE86
When Billy Edmonds bought this car back in 2009, I don’t think he had any clue as to how far his project would go. He started off with a beat up AE86 that was missing a few pieces and had bent wheels, but undeterred by the state of the car, he went on to create …

Reebok’s JTCC HR31
In 1989, Masahiro Hasemi and Anders Olofsson piloted a Nissan HR31 to victory in the Japanese Touring Car Championship’s famed Group A class. It sparked the beginning of the one-make dominance era. Only the Nissan Skylines would win the Group A championship until 1994 when Group A was cut from the JTCC series. So without …

Nagisa Auto’s Nissan R34
If you are a big fan of the Nissan Skylines, odds are you’ve probably seen or heard of this car. It is a 750hp beast of a car that was putting down 56-second laps around Tsukuba’s TC2000 Circuit in 2008. Now while that may sound slow to some of you Gran Turismo players, keep in mind …

Yellow
I’d like to dedicate this Throwback Thursday to yellow, one of the coolest car colors of all time. I mean sure, red is racing, but yellow… yellow is something else. It grabs your attention and makes a racing icon out of that car. So of course this won’t be all writing. I plan on showing …
