The Nissan Skyline Festival was held at Fuji Speedway earlier this month and we managed to attend, battling the extremely humid rainy season and eventually downpour that ended the day.
There was a huge turn out of Skylines of all generations from perfect original Hakosuka to the latest R35 GTR Spec V!
The most memorable moment of the day - just after 3pm, the heavens opened and there was a mad scramble as many owners dashed for the exists. Keep reading for our first post covering the many nostalgics on show.

The second round of the Japanese D1GP championship was held at the Autopolis International race track in Kyushu. Local to the Nengun offices in Fukuoka, we made the trip in the Nengun R35 GTR in record time on the Expressways and winding mountain roads for a great day with the best drifters in Japan.
The Autopolis circuit differs from many other drift events with an initial entry speed of 200km/h into the first corner which is too much for many. Orido's Supra was severely damaged in initial practice and could not compete. Suenaga in his FD3S RX7 ended up winning the day, our friend and hometown favourite Nomuken finished in a respectable 4th place.

Japanese automotive magazines are well known throughout the world, but rarely easily accessible. We thought we'd give you a glimpse of the top magazines such as Option, Option 2, G-Works, VIP Style and a few others for March 2010.
We can supply subscriptions for many of the Japanese magazines, please have a look on the website in our magazine category for pricing details.
Fukuoka Custom Car Show 2010 was recently held at the Yahoo Dome, home of the Fukuoka Hawks baseball team.
With the Fukuoka Auto Salon cancelled this year, we went along to see what was on offer. Amongst the many VIP styled and Kei cars there were quite a number of local Kyushu and Fukuoka based workshops and tuners in attendance.
Read more for photos and some details on local Fukuoka tuners that don't normally make it to the limelight among the glamour of Tokyo Auto Salon.
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.
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!
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 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.
We managed to battle the crowds to take a few photos for the customary girls of Auto Salon post. Read More for the photos!
