its official, kuntom letting go his 180sx for a silvia s14 kouki with sr20n/a engine and i have an exclusive photo of his new ride and Tori san workshop called "Fulll Throttle"...all i can say its a really good choice considering s14 is kinda rare here in our so called "boleh land" hehe...


jeng jeng jeng....noticed the work rims box and sr20n/a engine hehe

i have saw this scenary like this be4 where a car on a jackstand but the car is 180sx and located in ampang hahahahah......

yupe i did mention n/a....but already been thrown now its DET time hehe

"full throttle" time.. shop belongs to Tori san...a pro nissan person....no toyota hahaha

the front parked s14 belong to the boss himself

inside the shop...

Tori san s14

back when the young days of tori san this is his glorious z31....nice wangan vehicle hehe

customer/friends ride

more customer/friends cars hehe check out the sign board "rolling on the street"...the silver s14 owner is the person who bought kuntom 180sx...deng how i really wish i was there....its like the heaven for car lovers hehe...

kudos to kuntom coz most of the modification on the 14 he did it himself,from overhauling the DET engine to installing it and many others,jugling time between class and repairing cars its not an easy thing to do.. i am really happy for u bro....

the king of 180sx!! Koguchi power part 2

sources: wikipedia

Yoshinori Koguchi (古口美範, Koguchi Yoshinori?, 2 February 1969, Tochigi) is a Japanese professional drifting driver, currently competing in the D1 Grand Prix series for Dunlop Tyres and Koguchi Power.

Like many of the other D1 drivers he owns his own tuning garage called Koguchi Power so does all of the work on his car himself. He has a great following of Nissan 180SX enthusiasts as he is one of the top 180SX drivers, also his car is the same one that he started out in. Another reason the fans like his car is that it mostly uses of the shelf parts that anyone can get hold of. His nickname is 'Emperor'.

He has been competing in D1 since it began in 2001 and consistently scored points in his Nissan 180SX in the first 3 seasons. He then switched to a Nissan Silvia S15 sponsored by tuning firm High Power Improvement, he did not do well in the car or the Toyota Chaser he used after. So in 2007 he changed back to his trusty 180SX and has been doing very well, if not very consitantly. Usually if he makes it into the top 16 he will score big points, gaining his first win in round 2 of the 2008 season.

During 2006 D1gp Allstars at Irwindale he drove a Falken Jzx100 chaser..but he didnt do well and that is the first and the last i saw that car in action again.

Awaiting Approval & news from far away

funny thing is i been following the Jzxproject.com forum for almost 2 years now..but i havent register to become their members up until last week..(still waiting approval)to avoid spambot the registeration have been tighter than before..we first have to sent e-mail to moderator and have to wait 7 working days for the application to be process...then only the mod give us the nickname and password..if they accept me as their members...argh cant wait to start posting there hehe...

just ym-ing with kuntom,he sent me picture of he & his gang drifting at Oita Autopolis Japan.....cool!!but they have to stop drifting at the place for the moment becoz of the snow is arriving hehe..

Nissan inside a Kids-Heart...

Been browsing Tezuka blog for sometimes..he always posted this white r34 rebuild process..at first i thought its his customer car..(me too lazy to translate from japanese to english..hahaha) until i saw a picture of a koyo radiator inside the white car engine bay with tezuka name on it(powered by RB25 anyway)..this car will be used by Tezuka for D1 Street Legal event..he was able to score third place in the D1 Street Legal Rd.6 at Sekia Hills (sources from speedhunters)..i think (or maybe to replace the yellow R324 in D1GP)..so what's gonna happen to the gold R34 4doors he used for other event??beats me...he got way too many cars for Drifting..all i know he still keept his pink JzX81 a.k.a Freedom spec at his garage..he said its too precious and too many memory to be sold off..

i like it in white

nice arse and decal..

Special made for Tezuka by KOYORAD..huhuhu

FUCK U LA!!

regarding the skyfiro...bloody hell the owner....yesterday when i ask u to check the stuff u look,u said its okay...then u call...and said the bracket is broken...and so on so on....fuck u

whats happening this weekend...

Remember i posted before about another KE70 4age swap beside Heri's...well its done already...only awaits to do minor wiring on the dashboard and front & rear light..

4age...side by side

Anip KE70 is now equipped with 16v

monday,received a call from my friend Pdot, while i was busy playing badminton..haha,saying his officemate,Jon accidently bang over a skyline with his waja...fuhhh..i was hoping let it not be a r34 or r35 otherwise he might just have to sell the car and work overtime to pay the owner...lucky it was only a skyfiro (skyline + cefiro) converting to r32 facelift front and back...(its GTS facelift but the owner keep claiming its GTR...duh...im wasn't born yesterday okay.. i dont a nissan but surely i know the different.)

alaaa skit je bang...

the damage...owner wanted a bumper and both light replaces...(actually it can be repaired..dented bumper and minor crack on the light..but i understand,if im in his place,i will probally do the same)

what bugs me is the bumper,he keep on saying the bumper is R32GTR different from R32GTS model..he claim GTS got no light on the plate number holder...so i called a few of my friend asking and search the net..viewed almost 20 to 30 pic comparing the bumper...and i conclude...only some spec of R32 GTR bumper have a red light on the side..other its all the SAME!!!Duh...again...

Thanks to Din Nismo,i already got the bumper and the light...costed around rm450..only thing now is to wait for the owner qoutation on the paint..

one thing settle...the other one is Jon's waja...

front light,bumper and grill... out

sigh...the signal also out...

fender is okay...

it look kinda bad compared to the skyfiro..as he is on a tight budget...will be repairing this by end of the month..got my friend wanna sell his extra front light and a bumper..the front bonnet,i think it can be repaired..hmmm plus paint...i think it should be cheaper than we expected..
