It is not often that you get the opportunity to shoot an R34. Well, C3 got the chance to do just that.
Shot in the outskirts of New York City, this 1999 Bayside Blue R34 gave the moonlight some competition. With Nismo suspension, the car sits mean on Toyo R888 Racing Tires with 18”x10.5” Volk TE37 wheels. Place your hand on its Nismo titanium shift knob and press your foot on gas, because this R34 can reach speeds of up to 300mph. The car also has a Nismo short shifter for noticeably better shifting. In addition, Nismo 1.5-way limited slip differential have been installed in the front and rear.

AiMotorsports | A Dream Car Collection
Michelle Marus Lamborghini, Maserati, Mercedes Benz, Porsche 2 comments
In this week’s blog, C3 got a chance to meet with Sergio of Ai Motorsports and shoot his current fleet at Sergio's residence, which can be considered a dream collection to many.
Sergio tells us what the company means to him: “AiMotorsports is a style or vision for the cars I own. It stems from AiMediaGroup. We focus on extreme performance for our clients. The idea is that we take their current program and make it the best that it could be. The same principles are applied to AiMortorsports, taking the best from a manufacturer and making it better. In time, I would consider making AiMotorsSports into a mainstream business. The company purely defines my car collection. I make each car custom with its own individuality without going too far, which is the hardest part. Having restraint, yet making it a one-off is what makes us unique.”
The following Q&A explains Sergio’s passion for the auto industry and his advice for fellow enthusiasts:

C3 had the opportunity to meet with Joe, the owner of Xtreme Vehicle Coatings in New York, and shoot his 1995 Super Clear Red II R33 GT-R. The car shone in the moonlight in Astoria, Queens as each take of the camera aimed to capture its true beauty. With Öhlins coilver suspension and upgraded sway bars, this R33 sits perfectly on Advan gold wheels. This GT-R has a titanium exhaust, aftermarket turbos and custom downpipes. The car also features a front spoiler and rear diffuser by Top Secret. A beast with such power needs even greater stopping ability, so Joe installed StepTech 6-piston front brakes and Brembo 4-piston rear brakes. There is no denying that Joe’s R33 is eye candy, but it’s also music to your ears. Just start its engine and hear it rumble!
While shooting the GT-R, Joe also spoke to us about his company Xtreme Vehicle coatings.
