Option August 2023

[Main contents] Optional August issue is expanded with increased volume of this magazine and a booklet appendix! The opening feature is "Second generation GT-R". It is a famous car that Japan boasts to the world, and although there is a strong desire to preserve it now, the GT-R is a machine only when it is tuned and run. Therefore, in the special feature, we will deliver a lot of tuning and maintenance information for the second generation GT-R! Introducing a "one-of-a-kind car" made by a long-established tuning shop, cutting-edge HKS tuning techniques, the latest information on overhauls and ECU settings, body and chassis refresh techniques, GT-R from the perspective of rival machines, and more. We approach the charm of the second generation GT-R. Furthermore, in the August issue, titled "86/BRZ Special", "Introduction of Selected General Election Entry Machines" and "Second Top Speed ​​Test" were introduced. In addition, the "Special Tuning Guide", which introduces tuning machines made by leading pro shops in the western Japan area, is also worth reading.
