I’m lucky to get lots of great emails from readers of this blog. I’m even more lucky when they share some great content with me that I feel is worthy of posting here. Today I got an email from Colin. He sent me some great pictures he personally took at a Nissan event over at Newcastle. I thought some of the GT-R fans would enjoy them. Sure the car is nothing new, but its still really cool to see how Nissan throws a party.
I know it looks like a lot of the content on this blog in lately is R35 GT-R content. Well, it is. I wanted to explain. First of all, this is not an R35 GT-R blog, I like to have lots of other interesting content and things on here.
There are two reasons why there is a lot of GT-R content on here lately:
1. The GT-R is all over the news and theres a lot of really cool stuff going on…as long as there is a lot of new info, I’ll be sharing it.
2. I have a partnership with www.nagtroc.org, North America’s #1 GT-R community. Their website is using the GT-R content of this blog, so I’m working hard to produce a lot of good content for them.
For those of you without GT-Rs, dont be worried…this will never become a GT-R only blog. I want to keep the diveristy of the cars. Not only cars, I’ll keep writing about anything I find cool even if its scooters or Murakami art. I just dont want anyone to think that this blog has turned to GT-R only content because it hasnt and it never will be only about one car.
Speaking of which, does anyone has any interesting news on other cars lately? There isnt a whole lot in the past couple of weeks that I’ve found particuarlly ground breaking (besides GT-R stuff which is at a crazy pace right now). If you have something interesting, email me please. I always love seeing new ideas and emails from people who read the blog.
The company you keep in many ways defines you. For all of my business endeavors I have always only wanted to work with the best. This was my motto since I started Bulletproof Automotive back in March 2000. Since then I’ve become synonymous with the best in Japanese tuning. I’m very proud of being associated with the best names, and it didn’t happen by accident…it happened by careful selection.
It took me 8 years to find a US based company which I felt exuded the talent, engineering ability and value of the Japanese brands which I represent. I finally found a US company up to my JDM ideals. Cobb Tuning and I forged a partnership recently within the GT-R community to distribute their products. I knew all along that Cobb’s GT-R products, especially their accessPORT were going to blow people away. When I announced within my office that we were going to be a Cobb distributor and would be heavily stocking their GT-R parts, people thought I was nuts…COBB ISNT JDM they said…I say, Cobb Tuning is good enough to transcend the JDM argument of quality. Taking it a step further, Cobb is sold in Japan by very respected companies like Prova…so by association it almost even is JDM.
Well, I’m proud to say I picked another winner. And this time we get to enjoy a little national pride of supporting the USA as well! Not only are our customers already giving rave review on the Cobb GT-R accessPORT, now I have real #s to broadcast about the results of this product on a US Spec car. Prepare to be dazzled at what $995 can give you with your GT-R!
With stock ready to ship (as of Friday) you can buy them here:
Stage 1 is for a stock vehicle or a vehicle with just a cat-back exhaust.Stage 2 is for a vehicle with high flow cats or cat delete and cat-back exhaust.Must use stock intake.
I dont like keeping secrets, but the upcoming Nismo parts for the GT-R will catch a lot of people by surprise (and not necessarily by the products themselves). I cant say anything more than that since I’m sworn to secrecy…but stay tuned to The Real JDM blog and www.gt-rr.com because we’ll get all of the info, pricing and photos out there as soon as we legally can.
For those of us (myself included) hoping to see the Vspec debut at Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 in January, this news is a bit of disappointment.
The Vspec, which is an even more track focused variant of the already potent GT-R, will apparently have its sales debut postponed until the first quarter of 2009. Originally inside word had it that the Vspec would be released for sale by the end of 2008.
I guess all those inpatient Vspec owners will need to settle with picking up a regular GT-R and heading over to www.gt-rr.com to modify it to their own custom Vspec level with quality tuning parts. (shameless plug of GT-RR)
Today I’m just sharing some eye candy of one of my personal favorite all time cars. I’m very grateful to have Bulletproof Automotive stickers on lots of great cars that I’m very proud of, but nothing quite like this…
These pics were taken right after the car’s debut at Tokyo Auto Salon 2007. Of course there were more tweaks to the car later, but I still love this original image with Mana-P’s MS-R graphics.
Because these photos are 1800 res I’m only displaying one up front, for the rest you’ll need to hit the link below the image (this is faster for blog load-time)
Here are some more pictures of GT-RR.COM client Jim’s GT-R. This car has been showing up at quite a few events and shows in Southern California, wowing the public with not simply a GT-R but a well modified one!
The Zele rear under spoiler looks just flawless and frames the Mines titanium exhaust nicely!
These girls are no dumb run of the mill import models…they’re smart! They knew they damn well they better not block the Bulletproof sticker for the photo!
