For as long as I've been covering Attack in Japan, Seyama has been one of the most consistent drivers in the field. And while there have been years where his GTR has remained unchanged, he still shows up to search for time and enjoy circuit life.

Since the unveiling of the new Voltex aero package in 2019, little has changed with the overall shape of the GTR. The car underneath continued to develop over the years, including the move to a billet RB engine, wider tire fitment and other changes aimed at wringing out more performance from the 32 on track, but the Voltex package itself has remained largely intact.

This past season brought one of the more noticeable changes in some time with the introduction of a new, considerably larger front splitter. Extending much farther ahead of the front bumper than the previous version, the new piece gives the front of the car an even more exaggerated profile while building on the same Voltex package Seyama has spent years developing. It took a few events for him to dial in the correct position, but at the end of the season he feels that he's got it locked in. He's even able to load the car without having to remove the aero.

It’s somewhat unusual in modern time to see an aero package survive this long without being completely reworked. Nearly seven seasons after its debut, Seyama is finally taking steps to improve the performance of the initial setup. Maybe thats just a testament to how good Voltex is at what they do.

Here's a few photos of the new front end from February //

My relationship with the Miyagawa brothers and Garage Mak began in 2013, after meeting Tatsuhiro and Kazunori at an HKS event at Fuji Speedway. I stayed in touch, while Ame, Tsubaki and Seki helped bring NDF into their circle. The connection grew beyond the cars into friendship.

Early trips to Nagano showed me how distinct Garage Mak’s approach was and how differently each region of Japan interpreted tuning. Their cars have always looked exceptional, enough to sometimes overshadow their achievements on circuit.

The Z33 was one of the first Garage Mak competition cars I followed closely and one of several cars in our 'LINK' collaboration with the shop.

Developed around Fuji Speedway, it began in a street build with an HKS GTS7040 supercharger before becoming a dedicated race car with a GTS8555 single turbo, revised chassis and expanded Revolution aero.

After running 1'50.1 at Fuji in 2014, returned to HKS Premium Day in 2015 with improved tuning, cooling and aero. Manabu Orido lowered the time to 1'48.820, placing the Z33 among the quickest RWD cars at the event. Later versions brought a BorgWarner EFR turbo, wider bodywork and more complete aero. Much of the Revolution line was developed through this car on track.

That process carried into the shop's GTR35 program.

Tatsuhiro’s black MY11 began as a street demo car before becoming the GT900, eventually producing over 1,000 ps and running 56.478 at Tsukuba on radial tires. The white R35 followed its own path, with both cars serving as development platforms for Garage Mak bodywork, suspension and circuit calibration.

Ame’s S15 remained the group flagship, progressing through several engine, transmission and aero configurations while staying closely tied to Garage Mak.

Since those first LINK events, the relationship has continued through track days, shop visits, Winter Cafe gatherings, dinners and years documenting the cars as they changed.

Adding the Z33, R35s, and Ame's S15 to the Archive felt like the right time to recognize Garage Mak’s place in NDF’s history.

Takayuki Matsumoto was already an established driver at Tsukuba before the Corvette build began. You may recognize his more well known project as the matte pink RWB Porsche 993 named 'Phoenix'; a heavily developed turbocharged car that has become a staple at TC2000 and Suzuka. Unlike many recent RWB builds, the Porsche spent much of its life in active competition and established Matsumoto as one of Japan's front runners.

It was in that same paddock that the appeal of his next project became clear.

Tsukuba has a way of giving cars outside my usual interests a new identity, shaped by the precision and aesthetic of Japanese tuning. In the hands of Matsumoto and Chevy Service Miki, even something as distinctly American as a C6 Corvette began to feel at home.

The Corvette represented a very different direction from Phoenix - a front-engine platform built around the broad, naturally aspirated torque of a 7.0-liter V8. The LS7 was developed by Chevy Service Miki in Saitama, the balanced and assembled engine produces 560 horsepower and 462 lb-ft of torque.

Weight reduction brought the car down to about 1,200 kg, nearly 200kg lighter than stock. The seat and steering controls were moved rearward to help achieve a 50:50 weight distribution. A lightweight custom dashboard houses a Racepak display behind a roll cage, while Endless six-piston monoblock calipers are fitted front and rear. Advance Auto supplied custom suspension arms, paired with Sachs coilovers tuned specifically for the C6.

The exterior has a distinct Japanese feel to it, despite the American roots, and includes a chassis mounted rear wing, full front under panel and some tasteful canards. Matsumoto usually runs a square 295 Advan A050 GS, but last time I saw him at Tsukuba he had a staggered 295/335 Hoosier A7 setup.

The C6 first appeared in developed form during the 2021 Tsukuba season. Matsumoto recorded 59.629 at Attack before returning less than three weeks later with revised settings and lowering the time to 59.352. The quick jump to a sub minute time made it seem more like a genuine campaign and less like a distraction from his Porsche. Either way, it's a rare example of a sub minute American

Quick update on the Yuta plushie - we expected production to end around this time, but the schedule is a couple weeks behind and we now have an updated ETA of early August.

We'll ship them from Japan by air, so once they are complete there won't be much of a delay in getting them to us to process.

As always thank you for your patience! There are still a handful available to secure, but once this incoming inventory is gone it may be quite awhile until we make more //
