Here is another image or the progress on the “Butame” Chaser 4-door. We have done shaping and installed a lip spoiler from a GX71 on this car. This was a front lip that we had on hand from our own GX71 from about 5 years ago that luckily fit up to this car without any major modification to it. Through a bit of trial and error, reshaping it little by little, it eventually fit perfectly to the car. IZANAMI Co., … Read More

Here’s a bit of the progress on the custom work of the 4-door Chaser we previously introduced. The exhaust is a straight pipe raised up snug to the body to allow clearance. The rear fenders have been delicately rolled, taking quite a bit of skill so as not to distort the beautiful factory fender line in any way. The lower arms have been removed for narrow customization, and the driveshafts shortened to accommodate wider wheels without disturbing the original body. … Read More

We’ve just completed a full-custom set of Longchamps for our customer. One of the most popular designs for refurbishment because of its universal appeal on so many classic Japanese car models, this set of 14-inch Longchamps was taken through the full IZANAMI restoration process and given new outer rims to make them 11J -51 front and 13J -80 rear.

Extremely wide wheels need particularly close attention to the final balance of the wheel. As wheels are made wider (this Shadow Spoke was built to 13.5J), finding the true balance becomes more challenging but absolutely necessary to the equilibrium of the completed wheel.

We were featured by Speedhunters in an article from last years Tokyo Odaiba Kyusha Tengoku “Old Car Heaven” event.
