Spotlight on Nissan

Welcome to the Nissan spotlight – an area where we can showcase the best parts from the most famous tuning houses in Japan, and uncover all those hidden jems from the famous rising sun underground scene. We will use this space to showcase selected cars and give you the opportunity to submit your car for a showcase spot each month – all you need to do is email an image of your car to matt@eu.tougedistribution.com with a break down of all your mods. Cars need to be visually impressive but we want to know about performance – so make sure you tell us all the stats.

Their highly effective LSDs and exhausts prove very popular for those seeking a bit more response from the already impressive monster Nissan engines!

Mines

 

World renowned tuning house Mines are hugely popular for their Godzilla tuning abilities. Anyone who has spent more than a few minutes playing Gran Turismo will know the power the Mines BNR34 Skyline.

And although they supply ECUs for other manufacturers such as Mitsubishi and Honda, Nissan remains their primary focus.
