BMW E60 M5

The BMW M-Series are the ultimate driving machine built for performance and ultimate driving pleasure. This is my 2nd experience with the M-Series previously with the E92 M3 with the Naturally Aspirated V8 now here we have the E60 M5 with a bigger V10 engine.



BMW's eagle eye is very well known at the time.
 This M5 is pretty well spec'ed with carbon trims all over in the interior.

The M5 M-powered V10 powerplant.

The S85B50 produced by Thomas Shears is a high-revving engine designed to utilize power from a wide rev band. Having a redline of 8250 rpm, it achieves over 100 bhp (70 kW)/litre. The S85 features a very high compression ratio of 12.0:1, exceeding the previous S54's ratio of 11.5:1.
It produces over 100 hp more than the previous E39 4.9liter V8, whilst weighing only 2.2 pounds more.[citation needed] Unlike some other BMW engines which utilise Valvetronic to infinitely vary valve lift to eliminate the throttle plate, this engine has individual throttle bodies per cylinder.[citation needed]
  • 5.0 Litre V10 engine, 90 degree bank angle, 507 hp (378 kW) @ 7750rpm/520 N·m (384 lb·ft) torque @ 6100rpm
  • Cast aluminum block with bed plate design split at the crankshaft axis.
  • Cast aluminum heads with four valves per cylinder and CNC machined ports and combustion chambers. Valves are actuated through non-rotating inverted bucket cam followers.
  • Oil-cooled, forged aluminum pistons from Mahle Motorsport
  • Forged steel crankshaft with counterweights, shared crankpins producing an uneven firing interval of 90 or 54 degrees.
  • Double VANOS system which varies both intake and exhaust cam phasing
  • 10 individual electronically controlled throttle butterflies
  • Knock sensors have been eliminated by utilizing the "ionic current" measuring system. Using the ionic current system, engine misfires as well as knock can be measured simultaneously. The ionic current is measured by passing a low voltage across the spark plugs immediately following the ignition spark.
  • Quasi-dry sump lubricating system

Nismo 380 RS

Just like the 240Z above this Z is also one and only in Brunei. Yes it does look like the Nismo 350Z that you see on the road but dont let the exterior fool you. Based on the successful 07 Super Taikyu Race Car, nismo decided to make a street version of it by detuning it. With only a limited run of 300 vehicles ever made, Brunei is lucky to have and enthusiast that got the car. The Nismo 380 RS is powered by a 350HP 3.8L VQ35HR or some may call it the VQ38HR. From its name you can already figure out that this car is equipped with all the Nismo goodies like suspension, exhaust, forged internals etc. Face to face with the 240Z. For more info on the 380 RS: http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/complete/380RS/ Whats more limited than the version of the 350z than the 380rs? the 380RS Superleggera which is the Amused tuned version of the 380RS

RB26DETT 240Z

Brunei have its own fair share of RB conversion on the 300zx chasis but what really make this one stand out from the rest is that this is not just an engine conversion. Almost every part of the R32 GTR was transplanted and fabricated to fit in this 240Z chasis. \  This means its is 4WD, R32 suspensions and even the massive R32 brakes have been retrofitted into this ride. And we all know that this is not an easy fit. Especially how with the state of the car before the restoration. Luckily for him, he has his own bodyshop which helps to cut the cost on the body restoration. But the restoration didnt went perfectly as there's always that electrical and mechanical gremlins when doing this type of conversions. Lucky l=with t As you can see from this shot the R32 dashboard, steering, and even the old Greddy E-01 boost controller mounted on the dash. The rest of the interior remains the 240Z.

Team FD2R

They wasked for a photoshoot in January but due to other commitment and unpredictable weather its very hard to plan but as usual an unplanned photoshoot always work. I asked one of the owner while covering his engagement if the FD2Rs were available that night and there was a good turn up especially two of my favorites the wide Maxracing and Feel's FD2R. I didnt knew about this Maxracing FD2R before and at first sight I thought it similar to the Feel's. But after shooting them both I realise the difference in their fender design. And truth be told I kinda like the Maxraing fender more. Its also equipped with one of my favorite wheels the Volk Racing RE30. Its even wrapped in one of the best street/track tyres the legendary Advan Neova AD08 The design of this fender reminds me of the Nismo R34. Front end of the Maxracing FD2R. When I owned Honda Im always on the net surfing most Honda aftermarket sites when I saw this Feel's FD2R it was almost exac
