GaleForce Z34...

I love Nissan cars. Yes, I am biased. I will not apologize for it. Though the Z33 is the car that made me fall in love with Nissan and the JDM culture, as well as the car that I have chosen as my next project (My second Z33, at that...), I fall more and more in love with the Z34 the more I see those that are modified properly. By "properly" I mean with quality, authentic parts. This is another prime example.

The GaleForce Z34, much like Gene's Z34, is all over the internet. My friends at Bulletproof Automotive took on this project with, as I understand it, a great client from our North American neighbor to the north. From the absolutely beautiful paintwork to the monoblock Japanese wheels - Volk Racing TE37 Ultras, to the stunning Varis Arising II aero and the Boosted Performance turbo set-up, this Z34 is one of the nicest in North America. No, dare I say, perhaps the world.

Very well done, Mr. Gale. Again, Z enthusiasts, take note. Take note…

"I wanna be like Mike" - Mike Lee's M3 on TE37 TT

My friend, Mike Lee, recently decided to give his 2009 BMW E92 M3 a new look. An aggressive tuner-themed appearance has been achieved with a new set of Volk Racing rollers. These TE37 Time Attack wheels feature offsets a bit more aggressive than the previous Alloy Technic set-up Mike was running. Thus, the new footwork has stanced this M3 quite nicely.


With a bevy of top-notch modifications, including an Ericsson Amuse exhaust, Ericsson Amuse boot lid trunk, Ericsson Amuse rear bumper, Vorsteiner carbon fiber hood, and Brembo Gran Turismo big brake kit, this is one of the sharpest M3s I have seen, in my opinion, rivaled only by some of the JDM-built IND M cars.


This is likely not the last you have seen of this project on JDMphasis... But for now, a few shots of Mike's new shoes. Enjoy.

Aggressive rears.
