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

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.

At Tokyo Auto Salon this year, Option Magazine sponsored a stand featuring a selection of RB26 powered Nissan Skyline GTRs to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the infamous engine. Thirteen R32, R33 and R34 GTR's from top tuners were selected featuring some of the most famous GTR's to ever come out of Japan.

The entire area was inundated with enthusiasts throughout the show, read more for a unique selection of Japan's top tuned GTRs!

Recently found a great video on Streetfire, modified Bee Racing R32 GTR, Hosaka Special R33 GTR and MCR R34 GTR racing a standard R35 GTR at the home of time attack, Tsukuba Circuit.

The video is almost 15mins, but is definitely worth a watch. It really shows the strength of the R35 GTR even in standard form and the racing platform it will provide into the future.

Power Enterprise has developed a twin turbo twin supercharged R35 GTR developing some 700HP. The standard IHI turbos have been maintainted and a pair of Rotrex C30-94 Superchargers have been added to provide additional low down torque.

After missing the Tokyo Auto Salon, we were lucky enough to make some of the other large motorshows in Japan and Australia, including the Osaka Auto Messe, Fukuoka Auto Salon and Melbourne Motorshow. Make sure you check out our Image Gallery for many photos you won't see anywhere else!

Osaka Auto Messe

The Osaka Auto Messe is known as the biggest supporting event to the Tokyo Auto Salon. Situated in Osaka, a large aftermarket manufacturer city, the Auto Messe features a number of stands not found in the larger Tokyo show.

Big R35 GTR fans, we were happy to see a huge turnout, including the Mines R35 GTR, GT-R magazine R35, GTR-SNS R35 and the HKS Kansai GTR amongst many others!

Fukuoka Auto Salon

The Fukuoka Auto Salon is hosted at the Yahoo dome, also used for the Fukuoka Hawks baseball team. The entire field is turned into car lovers heaven, as the large manufacturers make the trip down to Kyushu and the many local manufacturers also make an appearance.

We felt the Fukuoka show was better than the Osaka show in 2008 with many of the same R35 GTR's, new Impreza's and Evo's, but also many unique local manufacturers. The new HKS Camp 2 was also on display, which now have available on the website.

Melbourne Motorshow

One of our team members was lucky enough to visit the Melbourne Motorshow in Australia. Featuring a number of concept and new vehicles. Nissan Australia featured the R35 GTR which they are planning to offer for sale in around a years time for over $150,000 Australian dollars, a large premium over the Japanese release price.

Other notable vehicles were the Holden Coupe 60 and HSV W427, featuring a 7L engine and over 500hp.  Also appearing were the Bugatti Veryon, Audi R8, Hyundai Genesis Coupe and the Toyota FT-HS concept car. Check our Melbourne Motorshow gallery for more photos.

Unfortunately we have been flat out over the Christmas and New Years period and couldn't make it to the Tokyo Auto Salon this year. You can see some of the photos from our previous Auto Salon visits in our Image Gallery.

Expected to be featured heavily at this years Auto Salon's are parts for the exciting range of new performance vehicles such as the Mitsubishi Evo X, the new Subaru Imprezza and of course the new Nissan R35 GTR.

We have already added the ARC front mount intercooler for the Mitsubishi Evo X and are anxiously awaiting the release of the ARC oil cooler and Titan Exhaust system. As soon as these products are available you can expect to see them available on our website.

The top brands are fighting it out for the first release of parts for the R35 GTR. The first news came from Mines with parts including their exhaust system and brake upgrades. We now have releases from ARC featuring a single rectangular titanium exhaust pipe per side, the famous Amuse R1 Titan exhaust system has been released and tested to push the new GTR to 500whp by Option Magazine. 

Once available for purchase we will be sure to make these parts available on our website and look forward to the results from our R35 GTR members, of which we hope to see more of in the future!

We have visited a local Nissan dealership, that happens to be located on the 4th floor of a city building. The 4th floor IMS Building in Tenjin features the usual new Nissan, Toyota and Mitsubishi vehicles and much to our delight the new Nissan R35 GTR was on display! See some example photos below and the rest of the photos in our R35 GTR Gallery.

We have also added the R35 GTR to our vehicle selection and will be adding any new products launched for the new GTR once announced by any of the Japanese manufacturers. We look forward to the first addition of the R35 to our Members Section!
