Hasemi Sports

About the tuner :
Hasemi is quite an experienced (old) Japanese race car driver who is still racing. To my knowledge he race for the JECS team, which uses Nissan cars mostly, including Skyline GT-R, Primera, etc. My favourite old Japanese racing driver is Hoshino -- He's seen action in Le Mans, JGTC, and a lot of other races for Nissan. I'm sure most readers would have seen the infamous blue Calsonic Skyline GT-R¹, and yes, Hoshino was one of the drivers.

Hasemi's 1995 Primera

Note 1: The Calsonic team has used many Skylines, the most successful was probably the R32 car used in the old JTCC Group A competitions in 1991(?) The R33 Skyline won the overall JGTC in 1995. In 1996 the McLaren F1-GTRs were there, so....

About the Hasemi Sports Silvia :
The pictures on this page show a car tuned by Hasemi Sports -- probably a tuner owned by Hasemi himself. The tuning package includes suspension springs, shock absorbers (Hasemi brand, of course), brake pads, exhaust muffler, HKS EVC (Electronic Valve Controller), K&N Air filter, etc.
-- A rather mild tuning package I'd say.

Suspension spring rates are : Fr 3.0kg/mm
                              Rr 2.8kg/mm
          (exactly what I want for my car)
Wheel sizes : Front 17X8 JJ +31
              Rear 17X8.5 JJ + 30
Tire Size   : 235/45-17 Front and Rear (??!!)

According to The unofficial Silvia Web Site, this car should do 245hp when turbo is set to 0.7kg/cm². At 0.8 it should do 260hp.

The rear wing's size looks just right to me. Made in FRP and painted black. Why does it have to be painted black? If the rear wing is black, why not also put on low wind-drag side mirrors in black? Also, the front bumper isn't so much different from the stock one on the pre-facelift Silvia AERO (different body kit), so why should people buy it?
