J-style Tuning

[rollin_on_18_strong]

Forgive my newbieness. i am new to the japanese car scene. What is J-style tuning? they say its getting very popular. Is it modifications influenced by the japanese drift scene?

yeh jap style tuning, that means no neons, no clear 'altezza' lights, no unnecessary bling bullsh*t, and no 'shopping list' down the side of the car unless you actually HAVE the parts

[markimak]

it means wide body dish. aerodynamic body parts. light weight parts. big turbos.. multivalve engines.

NO NEONS. NO WANKER WINGS. NO PARTS THAT DO NOTHING.. eg. dummy air vents.

Just to help out abit incase your wondering what a "shopping list" is in reference to I modified my skyline in photoshop to help show you.

To me... J-Style tuning is a way of life, it's a movement, it's a lifestyle, if you're like me and live and breathe the j-style, then you have, you will, you are, and you most important of all...

....live...

...J-style tuning...

nah jk, there is no such thing as j-style tuning, some people have been having a lend of you.

if j-style tuning is "no clear lights and no neons" then how come all of the uras demo cars and the origin lab demo cars all have crystal LED / Clear tail lights? and neons?

and that silvia convertible with the cima conversion is awesome what are you talking about? i saw that thing years ago if it was eligable for road use then i would buy it myself... what's wrong with it?

[mad082]

it means "over night parts from japan"

i rember reading a artical by the editor on j-style tunning. it was only a few months ago (i think when www.j-spec.com had thier first dyno day). he argues that j-style is not a true cullture, as far as i can rember.

if you email them they would be able to tell you what issue the artical was.

Ah ok, thanks for the replies guys, i think i like j-style then, some japanese cars look really well done

would theis be an example of it, because this is the style i like

that is j-style to a T. take note of the simple anti-bling rims with big dish and simple yet sexy black and white theme. also looks to have a race seat on the drivers side only, very jap thing o do, although they will usually have fixed back race seat for the driver, and a lower spec reclinable version from the same brand for the passenger

[Mr Eps]

lol what a gay rocket!!!11

nah jk that thing's sick...

if you're into that style of body mods then check some of these out

J-Style, I'd assume, would basically be mirroring a Japanese tuning sub-culture.

Just like there's no US-style tuning (even though you'd recognise an American hot rod or chopper if you saw one), nor is there a an Aus-Style tuning (although if you saw a Street Machine type vehicle you'd pick it as Australian) there is no single "J-Style".

As you said, there are plenty of blingy JDM cars (considering the Altezza is a Japanese car, its ironic that people think Altezza lights aren't JDM), as well as the infamous bosozuku / yankee styled cars, with the stupidly massive bodykits and exhausts, and insane offset wheels.

People who think J-Style, J-Spec, or JDM-style cars are purely stripped out race machines are having a toss.

[Rhade_MGF]

Very nice cars. I honestly cant see why people have neons on the outside of their car, are they just trying to look stupid ?

me me me! and lol I was thinking the same thing... "BUY a tri-pod!"

ok, I'm half telling the truth. the time before last I didn't bring my own tri-pod, but I used my friends

[Beer Baron]

and here's the proof! and yes the pics still aren't any good, but give me a break I was using a 5 year old canon compact camera and it was freezing farkin cold!
