C2Auto AE86 Trueno

This AE86 is created by the folks over at C2Auto. Apparently their site seems 'unavailable' at the moment. It's one of C2Auto project cars. The specs that I could gather is that the 4AGE is fitted with HKS Cams with TODA head gasket, adjustable cam gears, 4AGE Black Top ITB's and lastly ends with a HKS Hi Power Exhaust. The rims are 2 piece RS Watanabe with low offsets probably 15"s. The over-fender is awesomeness plus for this hachiroku. It looks absolutely the business.

Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS

This is a Gemballa Tornado GTS 750 which is originally in its early life born as a Porsche Cayenne 957 Turbo. It is basically a conversion kit produced by Gemballa which will turn any regular Porsche into a Gemballa.

Gemballa started the works by shaving off a hefty 250 kilograms from its total weight of exceeding 2 ton by replacing most of the bodyparts with carbon fibre works. Then, to make this Cayenne to go even faster, Gemballa has increased its displacement from 4.8 liter to 5.0 liter where each of the pistons and the connecting rods are replaced to ensure that the internal of the engine will able to sustain the increased boost fed by twin racing turbochargers.

The output is increased to a ground breaking 750 Hp with an earth stopping 1050 Nm of torque that transferred to the ground on all four wheels. Gemballa also provide an option to the customer if the customer wish the Tornado 750 to be driven with all of its power transfering to the rear wheels only.

The century sprint of 0 to 100 Kmh is achievable in 4.3 seconds and the Tornado will accelerate to a top speed of 300 Kmh. The lowered ride height of 70mm is done by replacing the standard suspension to an adjustable units which helps to lower the center of gravity. The huge wheels are forged 22" with a width of 12" from GT Sport. The brakes are made by Brembo for Gemballa and measuring 415 mm for the fronts and 380 mm for the rears. That'll provide serious stopping power when needed.

Gemballa has planned to only produce a limited runs of just 50 units.

Gunmetal Grey BNR32

One of my favorite car of all time ever since I heard of the word 'skyline' especially the ones with GTR emblem with the letter R in blood red color at the back of the car. No one will make a mistake for its twin circular tail lights identity.

Apparently, for this particular BNR32 shown here is no longer a stock standard GTR. It is visible that the standard front seats has been replaced with Recaro's. Also, the standard 16" wheels has been replaced with a bigger and wider 17" wheels which I am not known of the make and the type. Perfect stance.

"JDM GVS" Kouki 180SX

This is an entry about one clean Kouki 180SX as seen in a video from Youtube in my previous entry. Click here if you havent seen the video. The video is created by Light and Logic based in Canada. It is properly made and worth the time watching it. Shot using Canon 5D.

The car started as a flaming red 180SX with Kouki kit all round and when the owner decided to give it a new color, the car's life changed. The Kouki kit however, isn't one of the items that the owner wanted to changed. To me, Kouki is a very well made 180SX made from factory. He made a good choice not swapping the kit. The engine of this 180SX is a SR20DET with a Garrett GT2860 turbo hanging onto Tomei Expreme exhaust manifold which is easily achievable and good for a healthy 300HP at the wheels. The downpipe is made by Circuit Sports which is looks really good with a rectangular with round edge shape. The exhaust gases is flowed through a CAT and ends with an Apexi N1 Titanium exhaust.

The boosted air is routed to the front mounted intercooler to get the boosted air cooled down a few degrees before entering an enlarged throttle body from a Nissan Pulsar N15. The throttle body is a 70mm diameter compared to a standard stock 60mm unit. The throttle body is fitted to a GReddy intake manifold. When the butterfly valve is closed, the excess boost is vented to the atmosphere via Synapse blow off valve. Koyo aluminum radiator keeps everything in a good operating temperature.

When you have a fast car, you need to make sure it comes to a stop in time. A light weight brake kit from Project Mu replaces the fronts. If you couldn't see a bright green (trademark color for Project Mu) through the spokes of the front wheels, it is because the owner had it anodised to a more appealing red.

Now, the story of the wheels of this car. Before this kouki is fitted with this lovely SSR SP1, it had gone through 3 different sets of wheels. The first was a Work Meister S1 and then the owner swapped it to a Volk TE37 in white. Later, a set of Rays Time Attack 57 Optimise replaces the TE's. And now, the SSR SP1 fills all four corner nicely. The fronts are 18" with 9" wide while the rears are 10"wide. Offsets of the wheels are unknown. But all in all, this car looks stunning! Everything he did to the car is just mouthwatering.

More images after the jump.

Also notice that the rear fender wheel well extension kit that extends the wide rear ends another 20mm on each side which are made of carbon fibre. The new bold side skirts give the GTR a lowered look and it blends nicely with the rear fender wheel well extension kit.

The rear spoiler is also enhanced with its center flap made of carbon fibre and increased height over standard's height. Note that the absent of rear third brake light.

Looking from the back of the car, the rear diffuser is very much different from a stock unit. Tommy Kaira designed the rear diffuser to be much bolder and wider than the standard rear diffuser.

Other little things that makes this Tommy Kaira R35 to look different from other R35 are like the carbon fibre door handles, trunk lip spoiler and front fender intake grille made of carbon fibre. In the performance department, a set of suspension made by Quantum for Tommy Kaira and also a Mono-6 brake kit made by Endless comprises of front and rear set replacement available for customers.

Renault Megane 250 Cup

Renault, originates from France in the land of Europe and this is their latest hot, hot hatch, a Renault Sport Megane 250 Cup. In short, it can also be called as RS250 Cup. In the early life of any RS250 Cup, it was just a standard Renault Megane which rolls out of the Renault factory in Yvelins, France. But, when the bog standard Megane reaches to the hands of Renault Sport engineers in their factory located somewhere in Belgium, that standard Megane starts to see some lights at the end of the tunnel.

Renault Sport begins to mix the performance recipe for the Megane which starts in the power department, a healthy 250HP with a maximum torque of 340Nm right from as low as 3000RPM is churned out from a 2.0L turbocharged. In the handling of power, the 250 horses are channeled down to a 6 speed manual transmission and to the asphalt via a pair of 225/40 series tyres on 18" wheels. The torque split between left and right is handled by a mechanical limited slip differential (LSD) which is only available for the RS250 Cup.

Renault Sport also updated the Electronic Stability Program of the standard Megane where it can be selected either 'On' (default), 'Sport' (less assisted by the ESP) or even 'Off' (no ESP assist) for those who dare to contain this hot hatch. The interior of the car even includes a LCD digital display which can be chosen to display lap time, real-time engine performance and even a display of throttle pedal mapping!

If you are looking for a head turner ride, buy this car.
If you love Scirocco but couldn't afford one, buy this car.
If you enjoy spirited driving on twist and windy road on Sunday morning, buy this car.

Nissan 180SX

First introduced in Japan back in 1988 with the chassis code of RPS13. The R stands for hatchback while P stands for engine type used and S13 is the generation of the chassis. This because S13 chassis also do comes in two-door coupe variants with the chassis bearing PS13. The difference between the two is, RPS13 is called 180SX while PS13 is called as Silvia.

By normality, the number 180 in 180SX indicates the size of the engine it has underneath the hood which is a 1.8 liter inline four engine which either comes with turbocharged or non-turbocharged. A turbocharged 1.8 liter engine bears the code of CA18DET while the non turbo charged is known as CA18DE. But somehow, later in the years of 1991, 180SX also comes standard with either a 2.0 liter inline four turbocharged engine bears the code SR20DET or a 2.0 liter inline four non-turbocharged which is also known as SR20DE. Though the engine is a 2.0 liter, it still bears the 180SX name.

Ok, now here's a little knowledge on the generation of 180SX's calling names according to its year of manufactured.
      1988 - 1990 is called as Zenki
      1991 - 1994 is called as Chuki
      1995 - 1998 is called as Kouki

My favorite is the Kouki generation. Manufactured in 1995 through 1998. Some sources even claim that there are 1999 models rolled out of Nissan factory before Nissan decided not to continue with 180SX's production. Kouki or most commonly referred as a Type X is by far the most prettiest among of all standard looking 180SXs.

This is true with the aid of improved front fascia design with the larger air intake and even wider cheek results in more fierce looking. At the back, the little boot lid spoiler (available on Zenki & Chuki) were gone and the rear tail light cluster received major improvements with twin circular brake light on each side and the indicator is squeezed between the two circle. Meanwhile, the reverse indicator is at the same location as the previous generation's.


1988 - 1990 Zenki



1991 - 1994 Chuki
