Josh Cloud x Gurnade: Nissan 370Z Rendering

Another beautiful rendering from the talented team at Gurnade

Josh Cloud x Gurnade: Nissan 370Z Rendering

We've been a huge fan of Josh Cloud's work and now that he's assembling a team at Gurnade, we're overly excited to see what comes out of the woodwork. This is one clean 370Z rendering that they recently did, certainly a car we can picture coming to reality even on the streets of So Cal. A Tamon Designs body kit outfits the Z34 while a custom paint job and a collection of JDM goods packs the rest. Clearly Gurnade used Bride seats in the interior, project mU brakes and a set of Volk Racing GTS wheels. Make sure to hit the jump to sign up to Gurnade's emailing list and staying up to date with this talented team of designers.

Top Secret Goes Godzilla

With all new parts for the R35 Nissan GT-R

Top Secret Goes Godzilla

Top Secret is world-famous in the tuning world.  They've done stuff many of us can only dream of with cars, and their popularity spawns from high quality parts that produce the power we all crave.  The Nissan R35 GT-R was going to be a popular car in Japan for tuners, no doubt, and now Top Secret has finally unleashed their catalog of products for the monster.

The goal of their products is to maintain streetability and driveability - starting with their twin turbo upgrade.  Good for around 600 horsepower, the ball bearing twin turbos are probably on the top of every GT-R owner's wish list.  For those just seeking new performance without going overboard, Top Secret has their Super Suction Kit which sports larger 56 mm stainless piping.

Little amenities include an oil catch can and hood dampers, something that we're still surprised didn't come from the factory from Nissan.  Check out more photos of the products after the jump.

ISIS Performance Goes Driftin'

ISIS Performance has been making a huge splash on the industry with their high quality performance products at an affordable price.  After years of research and development by teaming up with Enjuku Racing on the track going sideways, ISIS Performance decided it was time to team up with Enjuku Racing to build an S14 and put their proven products back on the professional track.  So the goal was set to build a car at an affordable price that can compete with the pros at a fraction of the cost.  With no huge budget in mind, Enjuku Racing used their years of experience in building cars to guide ISIS Performance on their S14 build.

Enjuku Racing S14 Going Driftin'?

Our friends over at Enjuku Racing have been working hard at building their S14 "show car" dedicated to presenting the ISIS Performance product line. The rumor is that they'll be back in action at Road Atlanta with this newly built S14 that looks great, seems exciting and should be interesting to see them back in action.

My Little Z...Pony?

Disgruntled 16 year old girl or passionate enthusiast?

My Little Z...Pony?

Every 16 year old girl wants ponies for her birthday...not 20 year old 300ZXs.  But hey, most of us have to play the cards dealt.  Now I really have no clue if this vehicle is female owned or not but the Craigslist posting says the theme of the wrap (and thank God it's only a wrap!) is The Four Knights of the Apocalypse Horses.  Sounds so manly, yet looks so... not manly.  More photos after the jump.
