JAMIE TENIKOFF NISSAN SKYLINE R33

"I OWN this 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T Series 1.5, which I purchased as a rough drift car and restored to a clean OEM+ street car. As part of that, it had a closed-door respray, for which I did 70-plus hours of paint prep myself. It's also had a stack of mechanical work done, and has been tuned to make a safe 330rwhp on 15psi. It does so with the help of a Kinugawa TD06 turbo, HKS Hi-Power exhaust, ARP head studs and metal head gasket, GReddy front-mount intercooler, Nismo 550cc injectors, a Deatschwerks DW200 fuel pump, Splitfire coil packs, an A'PEXi cold-air intake and a Nistune ECU. Other cool bits include coil-overs, HICAS lockout bar, chrome SSR SP1 wheels, a Nismo old-logo dash cluster, full Type-M bodykit, rare factory-option Momo steering wheel and so on. I've put a lot of work into this car, most of which isn't glaringly obvious, but if it's not noticeable, then I've done my job!"

DIRTY STUFF

THIS is now the age of the overlord: our friendly Big Brother who watches all that we do and corrects our wayward ways. I'm talking about the technology that has invaded our new vehicles. Robots now virtually control how we drive, often forcibly fixing our minor mistakes. And that could possibly kill you if you are not fully awake to what these robots can do!
