Reporting to you live from Tokyo (if a 2 hour delay is accepted). We made an exclusive trip to Top Secret Japan. There was a intimidating feeling of an underground joint as we pull up at the venue in Chiba lead by non other than Nezuka-San from Duke Racing Japan. The JDM tuning industry may be big, but the legends behind them are basically partners in crime. The top names of the industry as featured in the Option line of tuning magazines basically hang out with each other from time to time staying surprisingly close.

Friday 11th of January. Time for the 2008 Tokyo Auto Salon. As the deadline approaches, the top tuners rush to get their flagships out. As we were told, Top Secret will be entering 3 main attractions. Two similar Gemballa 996 Porsche 911 turbo with the exclusive Top Secret's G-Force body complete with one-off racing livery that is aimed at winning the Tokyo Auto Salon Best Car competition.

What's the other? You've guessed it. The monstrous Top secret 2008 Nissan GTR. Though still a work in progress, It's a why not thing. Many tuners have already gotten their own GTRs and it's not surprising that they'd want to show off their new toy. Obvious mods include the Top Secret's Volk Racing GT-C wheels, carbon fiber G-Force front splitter and air dam and sporting a new V-Spec Nur-ish pearlescent paintjob.

Speaking of the 2008 Nissan GTR, we'll soon be putting up our Trip to Nismo's Omori Factory which includes a couple of our hands-on Nissan GTR experience as well as our R34 Z-Tune and R33 400R drive feature.

Yes, at the top of the hierarchy, Daijiro Inada. Father to the JDM tuning Scene. Top Secret is one of his hang-out joints. Tonight he's here to supervise Top Secret, an exhibitor of his 2008 Tokyo Auto Salon.

maybe something for GT - Garage Trinity to consider?
the classic yellow green lotus color for the place.






this one more like an museum than a garage though.

This shot reminds me of the Iron Man movie.

The Civic Type R garage is so well kept!

Nothing like some of what I've seen here but I'm pretty proud of mine. It's not much but I think I've made something of a pretty humble standard residential garage. Sorry no Esprit in view yet, hopefully this spring.
