The Nissan Juke is now for sale in Japan, and many tuning enthusiasts will want to get their hands on the unique half sports car, half SUV from Nissan. It’s been breaking all records according to sales reports, with 5,000 already ordered. Nissan only expected to sell 1,000 units at first, but I guess this fresh new look has attracted buyers from all over. The picture above is a photoshopped image from JDMsociety of what a Juke tuning would look like if sporting Volk TE27 rims, slammed to the ground, and yellow headlights. From the factory the Nissan Juke will carry a 1.6-liter turbo engine with 4WD producing 180 horsepower.

The prestigious Austria-based tuning company Koenigseder has released a new kit for the Nissan GTR. Back in 2007, Nissan launched the highly anticipated Godzilla GT-R with a twin-turbo engine producing 480 horsepower. Since then, tuners have raised the standards and half of them have nearly doubled the performance figures. The Nissan GTR has received all the hype it deserves so far, and Koenigseder decided to add their touch to what can be considered the sports car of the decade in terms of price and performance. First, the tuning firm painted the exterior in their favorite bright orange color, which is common to see with the other projects they take on. Next was the all new Nissan GTR aerodynamic kit with a moderate design.

The tuners from Japo Motorsport GmbH released their latest tuning project on the Nissan Skyline R34 GTR. For the styling upgrades the Nissan Skyline received a new aero kit consisting of a new front apron, front mudguards, a larger rear wheel housing, and an ARC rear diffuser. Performance upgrades were next, but I’ll save that for later while I move to the interior. Inside the Skyline R34 GTR, Japo refined the leather with Alcantara upholstery, added a new Sparco steering wheel, and new gauges all around. Japo Motorsport announced that they will only build 20 units of the unique Nissan GTR, with each starting from 89,900 Euros, and taking 3 to 4 months to complete the build.

The Nissan 240sx is without a doubt one of the easiest and most available cars to receive custom work these days. Here is a S13 replica that someone in the states tried to make their 240sx look like the Japan model Sil-Eighty. I’ve had a bit of experience tuning these cars in my younger years, owning both the s13 Nissan and the newer S14 240sx cars, one having the common SR20DET engine swap. When done right, these rear wheel drive sports cars can be a blast to drive, drift, or race while competing against many expensive high end models. For this project, two friends came together to build an almost factory looking S13 Nissan 240sx.

Here is something you wouldn’t expect to see this soon, a Nissan GT-R R34 with a new GT-R R35 front end swapped. It’s surprising that these tuners were able to get a hold of a R35 front fascia, but then decided to swap out the stock R34 front for a new look. The Nissan wide body kit appears to have an unfinished rear end, but is most likely the first of its kind in the world of tuning cars. In my opinion the GTR R34 front end from Japan looks better than these new Nissan GTR R35 models, but what do you think? Was all this custom work worth it?
