Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:50:45 +0900

The last two rounds of Battle Evome, saw Tomohiko Suzuki stamp his authority on the event, taking out first place at all 4 rounds even in dramatic weather conditions.Â

Time Attack at Tsukuba has been dominated by the Evo, GTR and RX7 in the past, but the Scorch S15 Silvia has a real chance of dipping down into record 54 second in the future, look out Cyber Evo!

Also check out our previous blog post for Battle Evome Round 2 coverage.

Round 3 - February 6th

Taking out the win for the 3rd time in a row, with an incredible 56.212 second lap time, Tomohiko Suzuki's Scorch Nissan Silvia S15. He mentions on his blog, even on used tires he was lapping in the 57 second range. A quick photo he took prior to the event.

Also on Tomohiko Suzuki's blog, the S15 being tuned prior to Round 3, making over 700 horsepower!

In 2nd was the almost anonymous white Unlimited Works Evo 6 CP9A with a fast 58.216 lap time.Â Finishing with the 3rd best time of 58.581 seconds was the Exceed Moat S14 Silvia, with a video on Youtube with full Racepak telemetry in-car!

Round 4 - February 14th

The final round of this years Battle Evome series was unfortunately heavily weather affected, snow the previous day and thick fog kept many of the competitors in the pits. Tomohiko Suzuki's Nissan Silvia S15 made a clean sweep of all 4 events, winning the final event with a relatively slow 59.297 seconds in terrible conditions.

The Varis CyberEvo 5 came in 2nd with 59.412 and looked great on the track as always.

New Shipping Insurance

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 12:03:37 +0900

Occasionally orders are damaged during transit and we have found the insurance claim process for carriers such as EMS and Fedex to be quite time consuming.

While not a frequent occurrence, it has typically taken the Japan Post and Fedex several months to process claims. This means you don't have a functional part until the carrier honours the claim enabling us to send out your replacement.

To address this, we are excited to launch a new feature on the Nengun Performance website enabling additional flexibility on insurance options during checkout.

We now have 3 standard insurance options available when placing your order for maximum flexibility and have introduced our own Premium Insurance.Â

Shipping regulations require us to write the order total on the invoice and/or shipping label. With our new insurance options, we now give our customers a choice on insurance value.

Premium Insurance - 100%

Premium insurance is a new option from Nengun Performance and ensures there are no delays should there be an insurance claim on your order. Instead of waiting up to 6 months for the Japan Post or Fedex to honour a verified claim, Nengun Performance will immediately honour the claim and send a replacement.

Orders using Fedex and EMS to some countries must include the invoice with the box. This invoice will be valued at 100% for insurance and may be used by customs as the declared value of the order for taxes and duty purposes.

Carrier Insurance - 100% Value

This is the standard insurance as provided by Fedex, EMS and other carriers and covers the full 100% of the value of the products ordered.Â

Please note, orders using Fedex and EMS to some countries must include the invoice with the box. This invoice will be valued at 100% for insurance and may be used by customs as the declared value of the order for taxes and duty purposes.

Carrier Insurance - 50% Value

This is the standard insurance as provided by Fedex, EMS and other carriers but covers only 50% of the value of the products ordered.Â

Please note, orders using Fedex and EMS to some countries must include the invoice with the box. This invoice will be valued at 50% for insurance and may be used by customs as the declared value of the order for taxes and duty purposes.

Carrier Insurance - 10% Value

Girls of Tokyo Auto Salon 2010

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:01:04 +0900

We wonder if many of the attendees of Tokyo Auto Salon attend for the cars or the girls, with violent scrums around any girl standing near a car.Â

We managed to battle the crowds to take a few photos for the customary girls of Auto Salon post.Â Read More for the photos!

HKS Premium Day & JCCA New Year Meeting

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:32:30 +0900

Over the past few weeks, the 2010 HKS Premium Day and JCCA New Year Meeting events took place in Tokyo, Japan.Â Unfortunately we weren't able to attend, but thanks to the internetÂ the photos have started appearing.Â

Read More for some of our favourite highlights and best sources of coverage on the Internet.

HKS Premium Day 2010

Source: HKS Premium Day Website
Source: Speedhunters - HKS Premium DayÂ Preview,Â Part 1,Â Part 2Â &Â Part 3

As mentioned in our previous blog, HKS did not make their presence felt at Tokyo Auto Salon and instead focussed on their now annual Premium Day at Fuji Speedway.Â

The day is a tuning spectacular and gives HKS the ability to show case their entire product line, new products and bring out their huge number of demonstration cars they have built over the years. There is even the opportunity to drive your own car around Fuji Speedway in a number of classes.Â

The R35 GTR tuner race was an interesting one from the Youtube videos, I'm sure HKS would've preferred their car to take the win. Instead the Esprit with Yamada took the win.

All of the top cars were covered and many that were at Tokyo Auto Salon were put through their paces on the Fuji track. As often the case, the best coverage comes from Speedhunters and Dino.

JCCA New Year Meeting 2010

Source:Â Japan Classic Car Association
Source: Japanese Nostalgic Car New Year Meeting Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3

The JCCA New Year Meeting is an annual event for the Japan Classic Car Association and brings together Japanese owners from across the country to Tokyo for a huge meet up. Visitors to Tokyo would certainly recognise the Fuji TV HQ building sitting behind this Nissan Fairlady 240ZG.

I've followed the Japanese Nostalic Car website and blog for a few years now and the enthusiasm, knowledge and coverage of the Japanese nostalgic scene is second to none. They didn't disappoint with the coverage of the New Year Meeting either, check out their website for almost limitless Japanese automotive nostalgia.

Australian readers will be confused by this one, a Mazda Roadpacer built on a Holden HJ Premier chassis but running a Mazda 13B rotary generating only 135hp. Certainly wouldn't have been the fastest thing on the road and less than 1,000 sold.

Hopefully we'll make it to these events next year, something for everyone in the first few months of the year in Japan!

Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 - Evo and Impreza

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:39:54 +0900

The ongoing rivals, the Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution were in force at Tokyo Auto Salon with over 25 cars throughout the halls.Â

Japanese tuners have adopted the Evo X and they now easily outnumber all of the other models. A number of GRB Impreza's were in attendance, but they don't seem be getting the same amount of attention as the Evo these days.

Voltex Cyber Evo

We'll start with one of the fastest Evo's on the planet, the Sun Auto Cyber Evo CT9A.

Show Up Car Service Hiro Chopped WRX STI

The Show Up Car Service Hiro Impreza has been around for a while, but the chopped roof always makes it stand out. The car is not just for show either, a TD06-25G and fully built engine generate 500 horsepower and Car Service Hiro have developed an original titanium exhaust, body kit and setup the Koni suspension running on Professor SP1 wheels.Â

At the Rev Speed Tsukuba time attack in 2009 they were able to achieve a minute flat lap time, with future development under 1 minute should be achievable.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 - GTR and Z

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:48:12 +0900

The Nissan GTRs and Fairlady Zs were out in force at Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 from all the top tuners. We managed to battle through the crowds and get a few photos.

The GTR's ranged from the new Silver Wolf body kit from Tommykaira to the circuit focused HKS GT600. The 350Z's are becoming less common with the 370Z's picking up most of the attention, our favourite being the Amuse 370 Vestito kit.

Rear More for the photos and more from Blitz, Varis, Wald and others..

Tommykaira Silver Wolf Edition Ebbrezza-R GTR

The Tommykaira R35 GTR kit was one of the most popular new GTR kits at Tokyo this year, debuted at the show the Silver Wolf Edition featured significant body work changes, including bumper, skirts, rear fenders, rear bumper and diffusers. It also featured a number of carbon highlights throughout and the very cool R logo on the rear which also featured on the older Tommykaira GTR's. The wheels are the new Yokohama AVS Model F15 in 20" and were on a number of other cars throughout the show.

Amuse 370 Vestito

The Amuse Vestito body kit for the 370Z has been out for a little while now and this car was sitting amongst a number of others quite anonymously. Sporting BBS LM-R wheels in 20" the Amuse kit and the full range from the Amuse catalog, this was my favourite 370Z at the show.

Rev Speed Z33

The Rev Speed built 350Z was a competitor in the Japanese Z Challenge series and faired pretty well in a number of rounds. Parts from ARC, Quantum, Prodrive and the eye catching graphics were made by Art Factory, the Nissan emblem on the rear was a really nice touch and quite unexpected on first glance.

Midori R35 GTR

The Midori R35 GTR looked relatively standard from the outside, wearing Rays Engineering VR-G2 wheels over big Alcon brakes, Force 3way suspension and the Midori Silent High Power NR exhaust. With the history of tuned GTR's from Midori, we can't wait to see more out of this car over 2010. Apologies for the poor photos on some of these, we were rushed for time and the crowds made it quite difficult to get a clean shot a lot of the time!

Biot R35 GTR

Tokyo Auto Salon Vehicle Details

The Biot GTR was sitting close to the Midori GTR and was wearing the new Yokohama AVS Model F15, same as the Tommykaira but this time in black. These wheels do well to expose the brakes and the big Biot brake rotors. Biot is relatively new, but is pushing into the brake industry with some force, we hope to have these available on the website shortly.

Blitz FR R35 GTR

The Blitz rear wheel drive R35 GTR was big news at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon, featuring rear wheel drive and Hollinger 6 speed sequential gearbox. There doesn't appear to be many large changes since last year on the outside, except for the Bride seats and some graphics, but underneath they have made some progress with the car now running on a Motec and featuring a range of the latest Blitz parts. The wheels are of course, the BRW09 from Blitz and Blitz have many new parts under development, we'll do our best to get them all listed on the website. Seeing the first R35 GTR in D1 still appears to be a little far off, but we can cross our fingers for 2011.

M7 Godzilla R35 GTR

Tokyo Auto Salon Vehicle Details

The M7 Godzilla GTR is making over 600hp using a range of M7 branded parts. Collaboration with JUN is strong with the new 4L block also on display nearby and JUN logos decorating the car. We expect to see M7 make some impact in the tuning arena with strong advertising in Japan.

Tamon Design RC370Z

The Tamon Design RC370Z was one of the feature cars at the large Rays Engineering both and was wearing the new Rays VR.G2 wheels in matte black. The paint work looked great in person as we have come to expect from Tamon Design, also known for their green S2000.

Varis with Original Runduce Fairlady Z34

Unfortunately we missed photos of a number of the Varis and Original Runduce demo cars this year, though we did get a photo of this 370Z, you can see the R35 GTR in the background.

Wald Sports Line Black Bison Edition Nissan GT-R

Tokyo Auto Salon Vehicle Details

The Wald Black Bison GTR was also a difficult one to photograph, roped off from the crowds together with the other top Wald demo cars. Very similar to the new Tommykaira, this body kit is a matter of taste and leans more to the VIP end of GTR tuning

HKS GTR GT600

HKS parts at Nengun Performance

With HKS concentrating on their Premium Day instead of Auto Salon again this year, their GT600 time attack GTR was sitting by itself outside the D1 merchandise stand. The Yokohama slicks on the Advan Racing TCII look a little uncomfortable compared to the other wheels on show, but demonstrate what this car is about - lap times.

HKS Kansai R35 GT-R

Couldn't get a decent photo from the front of the HKS Kansai R35 GTR, but the engine bay was a very good substitute! The new HKS Kansai carbon engine cover and radiator air guide looked absolutely fantastic and we expect that it will appear on many cars in the future.

Unfortunately we weren't able to get decent photos of a number of other Nissan 350Z, 370Z's and R35 GTR's but for completeness, these are the ones we missed.

We have quite a few more photos, so please let us know if there are any you'd like further details on. Likewise, Nengun Performance can supply any of the parts in this post, Contact Us if you have further question or product requests and we'd be more than happy to assist.
