Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R (C110) – The Rare “Kenmeri” Legend When it comes to rare JDM legends, few hold the mythical status of the Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R C110, lovingly nicknamed the Kenmeri GT-R. Produced for just one year from 1973 to 1974, this coupe wasn’t just a successor—it was a symbol of a bygone era and a pinnacle of Nissan’s motorsport engineering before emissions and fuel crises changed the game. A Brief History of the Kenmeri GT-R The C110 Skyline followed the celebrated “Hakosuka” (C10) generation and was named after a clever marketing campaign in Japan that featured a young couple named Ken and Mary—thus earning the “Kenmeri” moniker.

JDM Legends: Nissan R390 GT1 – Japan’s Le Mans Monster Born for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and bred with racing DNA, the Nissan R390 GT1 is one of the rarest and most extreme JDM machines ever created. Unveiled in the late ‘90s, this street-legal race car pushed the limits of what Japan could build—featuring a carbon fiber chassis, sleek aerodynamics, and a twin-turbocharged 3.5L V8 derived from Nissan’s Group C racers. Nissan R390 GT1: Nissan’s Forgotten Le Mans Supercar In the 1990s, endurance racing was dominated by legends like the Porsche 911 GT1, McLaren F1 GTR, and Mercedes CLK GTR.

𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 – The Mazda RX Legacy In a world dominated by pistons and displacement, Mazda dared to be different. The RX series didn’t just follow the rules—it rewrote them with a scream that no piston engine could match.

The journey began with the Mazda RX-2 and RX-3 in the 1970s—compact, light, and powered by the revolutionary Wankel rotary engine. But it wasn’t until the RX-7 hit the scene in 1978 that things truly got serious. With its sleek design and razor-sharp handling, the RX-7 quickly gained respect in the local street racing scene—and fear from its rivals. Each generation pushed the envelope further: SA22C (First Gen RX-7) – Lightweight, rear-wheel drive, and agile. The perfect base for early rotary tuning culture. FC3S (Second Gen) – Turbocharged fury. This model brought rotar...
