Encounter: Tokyo Street Evo
.
We were walking around some prefecture near Roppongi Hills in Tokyo one afternoon while my friends wife was getting her haircut. While crossing a pedestrian bridge I spotted these kids J-walking across this huge street. I thought it was pretty cool because you could see Mori Tower perfectly in the background, so I snapped a few pics. Later on I saw this Evo in the shot! I didn’t even notice it at first…
Event: Nisei Showoff 2010 V.2
.
I’ll start off the continued coverage of Nisei with a shot of this minty fresh BB4. As usual, the bay of this car was immaculate. Mike shows his dislike for knock off parts with a bit of promo cards, and stickers scattered throughout the bay. Click the break for continued coverage.
Event: Nisei Showoff 2010 V.1
As you can imagine, summer days in Los Angeles can get pretty hot; and the day of the 10th annual Nisei week car show was no exception. I have to say I was pretty surprised when I heard the announcement that this show would make it to it’s 10th year. In 2009 it had been slated off due to real estate issues, and development was supposed to start on the old parking lot the show takes place on. However, the car gods once again blessed us with one more year of show stopping, automotive eye candy.

Encounter: Lonely MM:21 R32
.
I stumbled upon this lonely Skyline during a walk one morning. The hotel we had been staying out was very close to Sakuragicho Station, which is in the みなとみらい21 (Minato Mirai) area; a large urban development by the water. This place is famous for many things, including Japan’s former largest building the Landmark Tower. This morning we were walking along the Red Brick Warehouse and saw this guy sitting all by itself in a parking lot.

Locale: UP Garage – Machida
.
.
If you’re a Japanese car enthusiast, there is one thing you know you’ve always dreamed of doing once in Japan; and that is to visit as many tuner shops and stores as possible. I’m no different. I’ve wanted to visit an Up Garage for some time now, and a few months ago I finally got my chance. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an affliction towards used parts. Maybe it’s the history that comes along with them; or maybe it’s because I’m fiscally responsible (read: cheap). There’s no better place to go bargain hunting for JDM car part goodness than at an Up Garage.

Encounter: Nismo WC34
.
.
.
On our way to Hard-Off, a used goods store, I spotted this guy coming out of the parking lot. This is a Nismo edition Nissan Stagea; or as it’s know, the Skyline Wagon. It rocks a RB engine and came in 2wd or 4wd variants. I’m not 100%, but I think this is a series 2. The owner seemed to keep it real clean, just look at those wheels!
The rebirth of Narita Dog Fight
Well, I’ll have to admit, this project has been slow going. Since I became serious about photography, I’ve always wanted to start a genuinely legit blog. Two years ago, I created NDF as a way […]
