Zele GT-R video

Here is a video of the Zele GTR ripping up the road of the Roppongi Hills complex

Zele International Harrison R35 GT-R

With Nissan shifting shedloads of GTRs every tuner out there is trying to get products developed and on the market.  Zele however was among the first with the Harrison kitted GT-R you see here.  Shown for the first time at TAS sporting a Lamborghini orange respray it is to this day the only R35 sporting a proper bodykit with a complete front bumper.  Since these shots were taken back in January Zele have developed more tuning parts like 2 types of ECUs, an oil cooler, and exhaust system and more carbon goodies.  For more info take a look here: Zele GTR

The original wheels, which were sprayed black, have now been replaced with some black Rays Engineering Gram Lights R57gt in 20-inch

Killing off the AVS Sport

Come on I’m not the only one doing this kind of stuff before changing tyres!

The Steak from Heaven

Was my birthday a couple of days back and got a great surprise from my girlfriend’s parents.  Having mentioned to them that I usually cook myself the mother of all steaks on my birthday they went out and picked up this monster.  600 grams of Japan’s best quality Kobe meat.  It’s a meat-lover’s dream….just look at that marble effect!  I have to admit I struggled to finish it but got there in the end.  I think my body is still processing it 3 days on!  Some pix.

A good 20 cm across

All cooked up and ready to go

Not too shy on the thickness either!

The aftermath!

 

Nagisa Auto BNR34 video

Do I really need to comment on this?  I think not.

Nagisa Auto (NAMS) BNR34

Was looking through some of my old pix and found these shots I snapped of the Nagisa Auto GT-R last year in Osaka. I still can’t get over how cool this ride looks.  Sughihara-san of NAMS sure built a real monster proving that big single powered GT-Rs can be very competitive on track.  This 34 has managed to lap Tsukuba in an amazing 56″510 thanks to its ferocious 750PS & 75 kgm of torque.  An HKS 2.8L stroker kit provides reliability on the bottom end while the Trust T88-33D makes sure the engine is force-fed with enough air to keep the 1000 cc/min injectors happy.  Helping cut down on shift times is a Hollinger sequential transmission.  Anyway here are some pictures…

Kazama Auto/Pit ORC Nikko drift day

I’ll start things off by posting a few pictures I took yesterday at Nikko.  Was great to go back to what has to be one of the best drift circuits in Japan.  Pigged out with a nice BBQ and enjoyed the rest of the day going out for rides in friend’s cars as well as snapping a few shots here and there.  Enjoy.

Kazama JZX-110, incredibly fast!  3.1L JZ with T04Z and NOS!

J-Style is back!

With the J-Style blog over on GTROC.com kind of dying off I’m happy to say that I’ve decided to resurrect it.  So after about a year since my last entry J-Style is back!

It will probably take some time to get this blog looking just like I want it so please bare with me.  I’ll try and start posting pictures up as soon as I can and keep updating with new material often.  

I’ve shot some pretty crazy machines over the last few months and there are even better ones coming soon so make sure you check back regularly to see what I’ve been up to!
