That’s right, we’ve got another mystical beast to join the ranks of the abdominal snow man, big foot and the Loch Ness Monster. Supposedly folks ‘round the Web have laid eyes on a genuine left-hand drive Nissan GT-R Spec V. It doesn’t take too many rolls of the dice to jump to the conclusion that [...]
Some of those Japanese domestic market cars really frost my cupcake. Not just the Cube, but the Kei cars, the whacky luxury cars (Toyota Crown? Nissan President?), and everything else. Until today I’d never even heard of the Nissan Rasheen, and yet here it is. It seems the Rasheen is based on the Sentra, and [...]
Unlike today’s other Japanese market special, the Nissan Rasheen, this Nissan Skyline has been legally imported. Thanks to serious investments done in the past by die-hard importers, it’s possible (though a royal pain in the ass) to bring R33 Nissan Skylines into the U.S. And that’s what this person did. So, it’s the Skyline GT-R [...]
Say you want a Morgan — the classic and gorgeous British sports car. But you don’t want to spend the crazy money, and for all the Morgan’s charms, you don’t know if you can handle a car made at least a little bit of wood. While Morgans are great to drive, they still go like [...]
How’s about a touch of JDM for your German cruiser? VITT Performance is offering a wide-body kit for the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, complete with a new front fascia, side skirts, and rear valance. While the kit is mostly aesthetic, there are a few performance upgrades, including a set of larger stoppers. Customers can opt for big [...]
We’re now on the backstretch of the Island JDM (yo) series. We’ve seen Nissan faux-hardtops and the Toyota/Lexus competition, and in the final installment we’ll see some of the real oddball cars of Nassau, but this installment’s dedicated to those forgotten soldiers of the mid-size wars: Nineties narrowbodies. You see, Japan has some really oddball [...]
In the same way that the light from a supernova can arrive in our Earthbound telescopes millions of years after the event itself, here in the Bahamas we’re seeing the fallout from the Great Japanese Faux-Hardtop Battle Of The Nineties nearly two decades after it began. So what is this mystery vehicle? As you might [...]
While the rest of the Autofiends crew has been busy working hard to bring you such items as the Nissan 370Z and our various keeper cars, I’ve been wandering around the Bahamas, buying Cuban Dominican cigars, propositioning the ladies, getting my hair braided, and attempting to touch live pelicans. Still, I’m a car guy at [...]
Blasphemy or badassery? You decide, but the guys at EVS Motors have managed to take a massaged 2JZ-GTE — the twin-turbo 3-liter DOHC inline-6 of Toyota Supra fame — and stuff it into a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. These kinds of swaps are all the rage in the South Pacific, where the motors are cheap. Seriously, [...]
While the drivers (and the Lambo) were the main attraction at last weekend’s Formula Drift Final Fight, some of the cars the vendors brought along were pretty sweet. Like this gaggle of Skylines. From right to left, you’re looking at a R32, R33, R34 and a R35 (aka GT-R) with a mega-splitter. The gray cars [...]
