JDM Option Japanese Car Tuning Magazine Tuner Profiles April 2022

It is rare that "tuning" is as pervasive as Japan and the only other country in the United States. This unique feature features the "tuners" who have built up such a tuning world, which can be said to have sublimated into Japanese culture.

We asked 19 tuners who have been running tuning shops for over 30 years. Through a long interview, I will approach the person's image by digging deeply into why they became interested in cars and tuning from their background, the background to the establishment of the shop, and the main activities after that.

We also conducted a questionnaire entitled "100 Questions," including tuners other than those interviewed. The results are fascinating, so please read this as well.

In addition, a new series, "Akira Iida's Riding Mono Heaven," introduces the collection owned by racing driver Akira Iida has started. The first is BNR32 and BCNR33, two GT-Rs. In addition, pay attention to the report of the catalog photography site of the new Fairlady Z announced at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

On the other hand, "Tools" is taken up in the booklet appendix entitled "Hand Tool Maniacs." Beginning with an explanation of essential tools, plus alpha tools that DIY enthusiasts should have to improve work efficiency, special tools for professional tuners, privateer garages that DIY cars, etc. It's a lot.
