Branew Nissan Z34


Due to the value depreciated of vehicle, nowadays imported car such as JDM Nissan Fairlady had became very common because of its luxurious facade, "chick magnet car", "comfortable interior" and the price is quite reasonable for a coupe performance car like this. According what I have seen, most of the owners here are still stick with the stock appearance which make the Fairlady become very ordinary, of course I'm not critic to all Fairer, there are some Fairer had make-up their LADY to become more sexy, like Ah Meng's LADY from Formula D(or Redsun), it is damn hot! For those who planning to change your LADY's outfit, can try "BRANEW".....(Wow~ change New Bra!)

How is the Branew's LADY kit? Sexy right?



Branew is a japan tuning firm. At year 2009 Tokyo Auto Saloon, Branew had participated in the event together with his demo car(GTR35, Z34, IS-F and Land Cruiser). From my view, Branew is the kind of tuning firm like Superior for GTR34 and Liberal for Subaru Impreza. It mainly develope in custom styling field, such as Branew complete bodykit, Branew alloy wheel and other car accessories. Of course there are  also custom tuning as well for example like the suspension kit, brake system, exhaust system and ECU can be done by this company.  

Anyway, in our country, it is very difficult to tune your car at oversea by this company. Thus I'm trying to said is about the styling! I believe once you change your LADY into Branew bodykit, you enjoy every moment when hang out with your LADY.

The Upcoming Rare Monster Arrive Here!



As I mention previously, Alex is bringing in a new rare monster which is the Honda Civic Type-RR. I remember I had brief about this car before. Anyway, I'll go through a more detail specification of this red chili. Hopefully this topic can be like a poison bug which can poison everyone of you fall in love to this car.

After Honda produced the Civic Type-R, Mugen decided to bought over 300 units of Type-R and re-tuned it and named as Type-RR. Comparing a standard Type-R with Mugen Type-RR, the engine, weight reduction, aero dynamic, handling and interior has been greatly improved. This make the car became more powerful and stable, and of course the price will be greatly increase due to this reason.

 I love those car with this kind of limited identification display.


Let talk about the engine. The engine model used is K20A, it has the originality of 2.0L VTEC 4-cylinder engine. This engine is has been upgraded through Mugen parts such as camshafts and ECU and mate up with 6 speed manual gearbox, it can rotate up to 8000 rpm with a little suction time 0.005 second. On the other hand, Mugen has improved the exhaust system, such as the layout, length and diameter of the pipe in order to reduce the exhaust restriction and make the exhaust to be more efficiency. Put together by the exhaust system with this engine, RR success to squeeze out maximum horsepower of 240hp and maximum torque 22.2 kg/m.







As we all know, weight is the one of the major factor of speed. Therefore, Mugen change some part's material. Light weight material such as CFRP has applied to bodywork to reduce the weight. Aluminum is used for the bonnet, this material can provide better cooling effect and of course reduce the weight(3kg) compared to steel bonnet. Others parts like light weight Mugen wheel has also being used on this car.





A high speed car equal to nothing if its without a proper aero-dynamics fitting. Have to know, when a car is getting higher speed, it need some force to make the car stable. When the air flow rate at top section of a substance is higher than bottom section, the substance is tend to lift. Therefore, aero-dynamic play an important role in this field, it can produce some downforce to prevent the car being "lift". At here, Type-RR had replaced a new bodykit, front & rear diffuser and spoiler which provide a better "grip" during the car is speeding. By the way, Mugen sport suspension and brembo brake is used in this car for better handling.









About the interior. The interior of the Honda Type-RR has a real sports look. The car consist of oil temperature, water temperature and pressure gauges at the front dashboard. The most attractive is Type-RR is fitted with racing seats which is the Recaro SP-X seats!! (same as S204)

Some Update Of My Blog

Has been quite a long time did not update my blog, this is because I very busy within the month of RAYA. Received few emails from other readers, the topics are all the same, "when can I get my car." LOL~ Sorry for make you guys waiting, unfortunately I'm still waiting too, what I can try to comfort myself is WAIT. Period can make thing proved.

Maybe I should touch up some "story" of what happening in this month in order to let you guys know what happen and why I wait so long (maybe some of you may think that I'm starting to blow water again.....) Anyway, here is the begin.....

At 2nd September(Wednesday), I had give up to wait the 500/600 S204, at the same day I choose other car. Some of you guys may not yet know what car I choose, it is a bayside blue Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR34 V-Spec II. The reason I choose this car is because the previous owner really done a great job on this car, especially inside the engine bay! Well maintain, interior like new and ofcourse the TOP SECRET GT Wing!! Frankly, when I'm waiting for the S204, I have been poison by this BNR34, but at the moment my parent not allow me to own a single door car, they said is not efficiency. However, when the waiting time of S204 is become longer and longer, I success to change my parent's mind, thus at last I choose BNR34.

At the same day, we negotiate the price and Alex(Car dealer) promised to change a set of VolkRacing TE37 bronze rim, GTR badge and a set of grill for me, why? Later I'll show the picture then you will know that....
After back from Timur Raya, I continue to find banker for loan matter, negotiate about the loan application requirement.

4th September(Friday), loan requirement has meet(personal document etc) and hand in for applied loan.

5th & 6th September is Saturday and Sunday which bank is off.

7th until 15th September is my waiting period for loan approve, which are also the days I can't sleep well because of too happy thinking of my GTR. Too bad, problem comes, at 15th September afternoon, I received bank call said that my personal document is no problem BUT problem of the car document. There is car duty letter, the content is not clear enough, this maybe cause by long period keep in file and make the ink fade out, have to remember BNR34 is quite a aged car. Due to this happen, the bank not approved my loan until can get a clear and detail duty letter. Nevertheless is a bad thing to me but it is good to find out early before is too late, try to imagine if the duty is not fully paid, then I have to pay for it. Banker call Alex as well, and Alex decided to pay extra money to JPJ to re-print the letter but you know what? HARI RAYA is just the corner, all JPJ stuff start to take few weeks leave balik kampung.

Until today, I went to Alex place, he told me that the JPJ's "tai koh" still not yet back to work, some of them still having Raya holiday -_- So what can I do? Wait again.... I can't promise when I can get this car because I have break the promise again and again, anyway Alex told me next week can get the duty letter from JPJ. Just wish this will happen~

Oh ya, almost forget. Today went to Timur Raya have took few photos of my GTR and ofcourse the VARIS Impreza!!! VERY VERY Nice!!! Enjoy and stay tone~

Here is the BNR34 I waiting for!




Due to my N95 is running out of battery, I forced to use my brother lousy Prada hp to take picture, sorry for poor quality of pictures at below.




The grill has been changed by previous owner, thus must replace the stock grill in order to fit the "GTR" badge.










Who is the lucky owner? Me!! Hehehe:-)


Here is the Subaru Impreza Sti V9 spec C! Fully tuned by Varis! And have been demonstrated at Tokyo Saloon before. I hope this car can fall on careful driver hand, really must sayang it! Only 1 unit  in worldwide, who wanna get this car must give the best oil for her! 









And before finish this topic, I want to declare that, Timur Raya is bringing in another rare monster & Mugen Civic Type RR. Note: is the red chili double R!! At here, who wish to know more about the Varis impreza can drop me a message at my Cbox or you can call Alex(012-3737322), I'm sure you will poison by this car if you judge it by your own eye! Cheer~
