Nakamura-san’s G-corporation S15 Silvia
Nakamura-san of G-Corporation has always been a creative force, designing aero and parts since the early 2000s. That creativity goes far beyond car styling. It carries through his product design, graphic work, and overall presence as a brand. I was lucky enough to be given a tour of Nakamura-san’s S15 Silvia drift car, which is…

Denis’s 90’s style S13 Silvia
1990s and 2000s drift style are very different, yet they’re often mistaken for one another. It’s not about the era the car was released, but the era it’s styled to represent. A perfect example of this is Denis’s S13 Silvia, a car that captures the quintessential 1990s look. Denis has nailed the essence of 90s…

Fumi’s insanely wide 180sx
While in Japan I had the chance to link up and shoot Fumi’s incredibly cool 180SX, a work in progress that already has serious presence. He hand-crafted the ultra-wide moulded rear fenders himself, and just weeks later had the front done too (which I would’ve loved to shoot). But there’s something special about capturing a…

Kaeda’s 180sx front S14 Silvia
During my recent trip to Japan, I really wanted to shoot Kaeda’s S14 Silvia. He’s converted it to a 180SX front by cutting and modifying a set of steel front fenders. The car is still a work in progress and currently sitting at his panel shop in Chiba, but I wanted to shoot it before…

Kakeru’s super clean S14 Silvia
I finally managed to grab a few shots of my friend Kakeru’s Kouki S14 Silvia out on the cart track at Mobara Circuit, something I’ve always wanted to do. When he’s not drifting his track-spec purple 180SX, he’s out cruising in this. To me, this is the ideal street car, AVS Model 5s, OEM aero…

Up close and personal with the Kunny’z D1 JZX100 Chaser
Tucked away, surrounded by wheel boxes and stock, on the top floor of a parts store in Chiba lies the original Kunny’z JZX100 Chaser that competed in D1GP in the 2000s and remains there to this day. This is my personal favorite livery of all the Kunny’z D1 cars, and seeing it up close was…

Liberty Walk FD RX7 in front of their Harajuku store
If anyone knows me, they know how much I love Shibuya and Harajuku. Having been into Japanese streetwear for over 20 years, these areas have always been a central hub. However as I get older, it’s becoming harder to visit these areas due to the sheer number of people. When we were in Japan last…

Zhe’s “GCORP” S13 Silvia
I got a message from my friend Zhe to meet up and take photos of the SK15SPL Silvia, which worked out perfectly because I’ve always been a big fan of his S13 Silvia and wanted to snap a few photos of it as well. The S13 is styled so uniquely, breaking away from the typical…
