Everyone, meet Blain. He is a 20 year old car enthusiast out of Ontario, Canada. We have secretly been admiring his car for the last year or so, just like many of you who know Blain. Once we found out that he was upgrading his wheels to something new (CCW Wheels) we had to get it up on StanceNation! There are only a handful of G35 sedans out there that are doing it right, this being one of them. For those who are new to S:N, when we say "doing it right", we are referring to the fitment and overall appearance of the car. Let's get into all the sick photos and some specifications, what do you say?

Photos By: Dave Levitt exclusively for StanceNation.com


Those sexy wheels are made by CCW as you can see in the photo. They're the LM20's in 18x10 with (+12 offset) and 225/40 tire up front and 18x11 with (+20 offset) and 255/35 tire in the rear. Blain added a set of Project Kics R40 Neo Chrome to finish the wheels off. Behind the wheels are a set of EBC 3GD Slotted and Drilled rotors w/EBC green stuff pads. For the suspension Blain went with Stance GR+ w/10k & 12k springs. Front camber is sitting at about -3.7 while the rears are at -4.7.



While the exterior may look stock, Blain actually did quite a few changes to it. We always get questions about the paint of cars we feature, and the one you are looking at is the OEM Infiniti Emerald mist green. Up front Blain is rocking an Authentic Nismo front bumper, a blacked out grill and Morimoto Custom projectors w/ Apollo shrouds and blacked out headlights. Blain wasn't feeling the rear end of his '03 G35, so he went ahead and did a full '05 rear end conversion (Tails Bumper splash guards and Trunk release). He also added a custom one-off carbon fiber trunk with molded lip spoiler and shaved reverse lights and emblem. Lastly, the spoiler you see on the roof is made by Kakumei and it sets the car off just right! Check out more photos and specifications by clicking the Read More button below.





One of the things that we happen to like about Blain's ride is that he has spent some time under the hood too. He's added things like Motordyne 5/16" plenum spacer, Custom polished FuRookie Intake, Polished throttle body, JDM RHD battery cover and JDM harness cover and polished GT-spec strut bar. On the performance oriented side he has added a Magnaflow straight through mid pipe, Megan Y pipe, "Fat Boy" tips and what he likes to call "Asphalt cat delete". We'll let you figure that out yourself.








When we asked Blain what his future plans are, he told us the following: "Custom exhaust including tuck and HFC, Finishing wire tuck and other engine bay prettiness, Little interior love including seats and not to break anything"! We have a feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more of this car in the near future. Big shout out to Blain and photographer Dave Levitt for making this feature happen! We'll leave you with a couple more photos below. Make sure you email us at snfeatures@gmail.com if you think your ride has what it takes to be on our site. Big shout out to our Canadian fans!

Here is the second part of our AF Imp Super Carnival coverage. It's a little bit more of an "up close" coverage unlike the first part. AF IMP (Auto Fashion Import) is the biggest Euro Car based magazine in Japan and they as you can tell by these photos they're doing an incredible job with their car show. We're honestly not surprised by the quality of these cars, but we definitely didn't think that the Euro scene is as big as it is out there. Well, everything that needed to be said was said really, how about we get straight to the photos? Don't forget to check out the first part if you haven't already.

We haven't posted any Acura TSX's in quite some time now so how about we show you Bryant's joy and pride? Having been through many different phases in it's lifetime, we have to say that the current look suits it very well. It may not be the lowest TSX out there, it may not even have the widest set of wheels, but one thing is for sure, it's freaking sexy! We honestly feel that one of the most overlooked Acura ever is the TSX. These things are just so full of potential, just check out the one below!

Everything on this car is as legit and high end as it gets. The exterior is rocking a front & Rear EuroR Lip Kit + Front Grille and headlights with A-spec sides. Bryant's attention to detail and quality parts spread throughout the whole car. Spoon goodies everywhere, including the rear decklid, Spoon monoblock calipers, spoon duracon 6spd shift knob (that's right, one of only a few thousand 6 speed TSX's), Spoon reservoir cover, Spoon oil cap, Spoon radiator cap and more.



How about that stance though? Car is sitting on Buddy club N+ coilovers paired up with a Comptech Rear Sway bar, and front strut bar. One of the things that attracted us to this ride the most are those wheels. They're one of our all time favorite wheels. SSR SP3's finished in Super Black Coast and sitting at 18x9 (+24) all around. Lastly, Bryant wrapped the wheels in a set of 215/40/18 rubbers which gave him just enough clearance. Hit the Read More button for a few more awesome photos.





When we asked Bryant about his future plans, he told us that he is actually done with the car for now. Long term goals may possibly include building the motor (most likely kpro, cams, headers, etc.), so we'll see how that goes. We would like to give a big shout out to our photographer Jay Pena for the shots, our good friend Jona for helping make this feature happen and last but not least, the owner Bryant Nguyen. Be on a lookout for more San Diego, CA based rides, and make sure you shoot us an email to snfeatures@gmail.com if you think your ride has what it takes to be on our site.





Check out the incredible detail of the SSR SP3 wheels. We're in love!

What we found pretty strange recently was that majority of the Japanese "Euro" car owners are all telling us that their inspiration comes straight from the states. We could kind of see that in these photos. They are just a bunch of random photos of cars rolling in to the annual AF Imp Super Carnival in Japan just a couple of days ago. One of the cars the stole our hearts right away would be that sexy white BMW M3 in 3rd and 4th photos. However, most of these cars are just drop dead gorgeous and it is an honor to share them with you. Big ups to AF Imp for putting on yet another successful show (which you'll see more off tonight) and a big thank you to our friend Toribosi Araki for the photos! Make sure you hit the Read More button for a dozen more photos!

For those who have met Nick and seen his previous 240 in person, you'll know that it was way different from all of the other cars out there in the scene today. It wasn't perfect but there was just something totally raw about it that everyone loved. Not to mention the fact that he was extremely low...and static. His new 240 coupe isn't any different. It still had the same raw feel that most cars fail to have. As I sat in the passenger seat, you could feel and hear the scraping of his subframe as we cruised around town looking for a shooting spot. As the car scraped we both would gasp from the harsh metal sound but at the same time couldn't help but to laugh at how crazy it was. It was just a fun car to be in. Nick himself is an awesome kid and I believe everyone should get a chance to meet him. He is on a whole other level and we definitely need more kids like him around the "scene". Check out this short video below.

For this shoot, I decided to try out something different. Instead of just shooting a car rigged up or parked in front of something cool with blasts of strobes, I wanted to include the driver and his local town to create a "real image" and tell a story. I used only natural lighting to get a "real" feel to it.
