One for the road.... Tokyo Auto Salon 2012

Headed up to Makuhari Messe in Chiba today to attend my last TAS. I haven't been in years, but since I'm leaving I figured I should. Had good time. Got to watch Kunny, Tezuka, Hirota, and Tokita (D1GP Team GOODYEAR) do a drift exhibition. It was pretty bad ass. Took pics w/ D1 drivers, drooled over cars, collected pamphlets and catalogs, bout trinkets that cost WAY too much... why? BECAUSE CAR SHOW (that was for Slappy haha)... I had a geat time w/ great fiends though. I don't have many pics of the show because my phone died after I'd been there only 2 hours haha. Enjoy!

My spoils for the day

Nostalgia....

Feeling pretty emo lately about this move back to the states. I want to leave because I feel like I need a break, but it's really starting to hit me that I'll be gone in a few weeks... These pics didn't help at all haha. Buddy of mine dug up some old pics of my Cefiro :(... miss that car. If only it came out 2 years earlier maybe I could bring one back w/ me. Ida-san @ Uparts has a friend selling one for 3grand. Sr swap, full suspension, roll cage, the works... sigh.... One of the only nissans I'd consider giving up a toyota for.

Happy 2012!!

Happy New Year everyone!! 2011 was a slow year for us and there are some changes going on right now, but we appreciate you sticking around and thank you for your support. Late this past week I took a friend up to SEED Racing to get his ER34 Skyline tuned. He's running a Hi-Flow turbo from some shop in Australia, walboro fuel pump, 600cc injectors, and a power fc. The car ended up making 380whp and 330 355lb/ft of torque @1.25Bar (sorry Jose haha). This is awesome because they actually used 93 octane (which is low grade here in japan and is actually frowned upon). Also noted is that they tuned a C35 Laurel (same engine if you didn't know/ RB25DET NEO) w/ a similar sized turbo and that car only made 400whp @ 1.5 bar using a higher grade fuel. The shop had nothing but good things to say about the turbo, actually comparing it to HKS GT2835 (even though this one is not ball bearing). We'll actually be going back up there soon to get the boost controller he bought after the fact set up. Here's a few pics from the trip.

DYNO!!

If Jose's wheels look familiar it's because I sold him the Work VS-SS that used to be on my 100 Cresta haha. Thanks for reading. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
