Nissan’s 2008 1-2 GTR Finish @ Suzuka

Posted by Robert.Maddrey On May - 3 - 2012

Today we take a moment to reflect on a great 1-2 victory for the Nissan GTR in 2008′s Super GT race at the Suzuka Circuit.

Designed as a Honda test track in 1962 by John Hugenholtz, Suzuka is one of few circuits in the world to have a "figure 8" layout, with the back straight passing over the front section by means of an overpass. (Click to Enlarge - 1920x1200)

Photo of the Day: 1977 Datsun 260Z (RHD)

Posted by Robert.Maddrey On April - 26 - 2012

Timeless lines that define an era in Japanese sports-car culture we’re clearly taken by this beautiful ’77 260Z from the land down under…

Photo of the Day: 1977 Datsun 260Z (RHD)

Posted by Robert.Maddrey On April - 24 - 2012

Yep, this week we are featuring an entire shoot with the same modified Australian S30 260Z courtesy of our friends down-under @ Downshiftaus.

260Z models had bumpers that resembled those of the earlier 240Z, though increased slightly in size, pushed away from the body somewhat, and wearing black rubber bumper guards rather that the previous chrome bumper guards with rubber strips. These early cars still had the front turn signals located below the bumpers. (Click to Enlarge - 1920x1200)
