Today is another (heavily) tuned car, a 2007 Blitz Dunlop ER34 Skyline based on the Nissan Skyline ER 34.
The Blitz Dunlop ER 34 Skyline was built by Blitz, a Japan-based car tuner, unusually choosing a 4-door Nissan Skyline ER 34 saloon as the base car.
I believe this is the Blitz Japan website.
The Blitz Skyline ER 34 competed in D1 Grand Prix (all-Japan Professional Drift Competition) piloted by Ken "Nomuken" Nomura.
This 2007 model (pictured) had a major engine upgrade producing 572 BHP.
I think Nomuken managed to win something in it, 4 doors and all.
It is also heavily adorned with graffiti-like scrolls, and here are some pictures of the art.
By the way, these websites are still up and running, I checked.
www.v-opt.co.jp - racing videos, books, etc., including D1GP vids.
www.jdm-option.com - Japan domestic market car stuff.
Nomuken too has his own website.
Yokomo - RC models.
Well well well...they don't call it Blitz for nothing.
And finally some on-track photos at Autodromo Nazionale Monza.
