It’s been awhile since we’ve seen anything from Depth of Speed, but it looks like Josh is back at it and gearing up his second season. In his latest video Josh visits JDM Legends yet again to spend some track time with their old school GT-R. It isn’t anything crazy but if you’re a fan of old Japanese cars, the sound alone is simply intoxicating!

Meet the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 a highly modified GT-R spec’d out to meet FIA’s GT3 regulations. The GT-R is powered by a 3.8 liter V6 twin turbo engine based on the standard road version. Apparently the vehicle was designed with customers in mind…that’s right you can actually buy one for a cool 297,000 euros.

Matt from the The Smoking Tire couldn’t resist taking a closer look at the car that won last week’s Tuner Shootout on Drive. The winner? A 950hp Nissan GT-R, that’s double the horsepower of a stock GT-R! Matt reviews the E85 powered GT-R tuned by Switzer and he’s in for a surprise.

Although they aren’t direct rivals, Chris Harris reviews the brand new 2012 BMW M5 and the 2012 Nissan GT-R. One is a sport saloon while the other one is high-tech sports coupe. Not only does Chris Harris drive both cars on the streets of UK he reviews both cars on the track in the wet. Check out the video after the jump.

After a rocky couple of years it looks like the tuning scene is starting to pick up again. In 2008 Trust filed for bankruptcy leaving the fate of the company and its US brand Greddy up in the air. Looks like things are going good because Trust/Greddy unveiled their highly tuned Nissan GT-R, fitted with the best of the best for R&D purposes.

What can only be described as crazy, Nissan wanted to see if they could transplant components of their famous GT-R into their less famous Juke. As you can imagine GT-R parts don’t fit well in the smaller Juke, Nissan dumped a boat load of money to get it to work. Throughout the process Nissan is releasing small videos about the conversion, so far only 5 are available but several pictures/sketches show a promising performance crossover.

You’ve probably seen this video floating around but I had to post it. Motor Trend decided to hold the greatest drag race using only the best cars in the world. The list: BMW 1M, Ford Mustang Boss 302, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Ferrari 458, Nissan GT-R, Audi R8 GT, Mercedes-Benz SLS, Lexus LF-A, Porsche Cayman R and the Lotus Evora S. Video after the jump.

I’ve been meaning to post the entire Depth of Speed series but I have always found myself distracted by hundreds of other things. Once I saw this video I knew I had to share it. If you haven’t heard of Depth of Speed, it is a 10 part mini series that Josh Clason is filming to helps other understand the history, passion and love that people have for the automotive industry. In his latest video, Josh revisits JDM Legends and learns why they love classic JDM cars. Eric from JDM Legends really hits the nail on the head when he describes current cars, they lack the character and personality of older Japanese cars.

It’s been awhile since Format67 released their last video but rest assure the team has been keeping busy with their latest project. Commissioned by Nissan, the team set out to produce a film about their perfect week with a GT-R. Using their trademark style, Format67 reminds us that we only have a limited amount of time in our life and we should spend every last second wisely.

Dragtimes.info, the people responsible for that crazy Veyron vs GT-R race are back again. This time the crew pits the R34 GT-R up against its bigger brother (although a modified one) the R35 GT-R. After race finishes, a highly modified ZR1 rolls in and decides to challenge another R35 GT-R that happens to be there. Loving the vibe of the video, reminds me of Tokyo Extreme Racer when you challenge one of Wanderers. Video after the jump.
