VIDEO ROLL>> CLASH PRODUCTION DOES RED BULL

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 looking at magazines there… and [...]

EVENT>> JTUNED MEET AT STANTON AUTOBACS STORE

Just last weekend, I kept hearing all this talk about the return of Jtuned… apparently Jtuned.com will be coming back, with new people involved, but the same type of high quality automotive content. To kick off the website's return, the new Jtuned staff held a car meet at Super Autobacs in Stanton, CA. I got [...]

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 Speedhunters readers have been [...]

RETROSPECTIVE>> MILLEN AND THE ZEE

When I say the name Millen, what is the first image that comes into your head? A Red Bull Pontiac Solstice sliding its way to drifting victory? Or a wild Toyota hill climb car clawing its way up Pikes Peak mountain? Or… do you think of Nissan 300ZX road race cars winning everything in sight? [...]

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 the fastest time of 54:481 seconds, making it the fastest [...]

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 325 horsepower V8 underneath my right foot – [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

USER RANKING>> BEST JDM R34 GT-R

Over the past few years I have collected a lot of photo's from all sorts of cars that are of interest to me. As my favorite brand is Nissan, and the car that I like the most is the Skyline R34, you can figure I have a vast amount of pictures of these cars from [...]

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 [...]

CARLIFE>>FROM BUTTONWILLOW TO LONG BEACH – PT.1

They say a week, in politics, is a long time. While I would hesitate to compare myself with the fools and charlatans that infest Parliament (I can only offer comments on the shower here in the UK) a week is also a long time in the SpeedHunters’ world. Today I sit here in the UK, [...]

DRIVING IMPRESSION>> NISMO Z33 350Z

Not too long ago, I was given the opportunity to test drive the latest Nismo edition Z33 350Z. This Nismo edition Z is the final evolution in the Z33 family, and the most sport-tuned 350Z available in North America (the only higher spec model is the 3.8 liter Z33 Nismo 380RS, available in Japan with [...]

RETROSPECTIVE>> NISSAN AT LE MANS

Back in the early days of Speedhunters, one of our first ‘Retrospective’ posts featured Nissan at Le Mans. Given that its Nissan month and the Speedhunters community has grown quickly this year, we have decided to republish this feature. Enjoy! – Andy A comment regarding the lack of Nissan’s in our Cars of >> Le [...]
