Read the interview with Top Secret founder Mr. Kazuhiko “Smoky” Nagata... dsportmag.com/the-scene/tour/t... Originally published in Issue 89 of DSPORT / DVD #14
Fun fact: Yoshida-san rejected Smokey-san's request to join Mid Night Club even though Smokey works at HKS that provides most engine parts to the club members. Out of anger, Smokey-san left HKS and started his own brand known as *TOP SECRET*
I read somewhere another guy who worked for HKS moved onto creating Apexi however true that maybe, I like HKS problem is there's too many copies around so I buy direct from Japan.
I desperately want to replicate the Top Secret Supra. The body kit, hood, wing, and wheels they put on it are perfect and exactly my taste. Even better with the gold paint.
Thing is, for a Top Secret car to be painted gold, it has to earn the right to. If the car say breaks a top speed record or win a race or two, then Top Secret will make it their representative car and paint it gold.
Can someone please explain to me who owns Smokey’s original v12 Supra ? Last video I seen it was owned by someone in Florida. But isn’t it sitting in the back of his shop in this video?
The thought was that the RB could be tuned for a flatter power and tourqe curve. Smokey seemed to have the idea that the 2jz had too violent a power delivery for the same output, making it unsuitable for top speed runs.
this is the original V12 supra from 2007. Smokey has built several supras over the years. This V12 was sold at auction last year to a US buyer. The gold RB26 supra is in Abu Dhabi in original form
unfortunately when i continued the video, that fakeness continued on the dash, that's a genuinen mistake from legendary tuner, kick ass ride otherwise though - One huge supra fan here!
When a well known japanese shop uses american made BBS. Shows you how much American stuff are truly well made. Japanese, yes and no. Worst part its over priced, American stuff tools wise, best without a doubt, I can't say everything american is great though. Anyways. great tour video.
american stuff great? u mean what weaponry? cuz the rest is pretty shitty i would rather buy a german or japanese car than any american/french/spanish gibberish
Wow The legend himself Smokey

What the 2020 Supra should have been. They should have hired Smokey and Top Secret.

Wow, Amazing, DSPORT, this is quality video. Thank you for sharing!
Well now its not so top secret...
Kyle it is not many people know about company.
Kyle shhhh
LMAOO these are the ballsiest tuners EVER! if a youtuber put an RB26 in a supra they'd be lynched by the commenters....
decleanz fuck what anyone thinks, this shit is bad ass so fuck the rest
I've heard Japanese car enthusiasts get triggered by this.
@@Sujiceel funny cuz this is exactly what the new supra looks like
they did these things back when social media didn't exist and criticism and hate online didn't exist. No judgement was known if it was bad to people.
@Tyler Morgan from East Enders Hell yea mate
Always aussies blessing us with this cool content
I like Top Secret, the legend.
Top Secret’s been in tuning for longer than 10 years. More like 20-25.
phong911gt3 vids old
That shop is a tuners wet dream 😍😍😍😍
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time he says "HKS"
Morimoto's Gold 350z from F&F Tokyo Drift brought me here.
Awesome factory
hara911 word
The legendary Smokey Nagata
So sad that he sold it recently. Right now this car is in the states
TRC channel has the video
ITAL BL00D that's why I said it's in the states. I have already seen the video.
tbh the sad part is that no longer will be driven properly just became an object to speculate with
It’s in Miami
Smokey is my hero!! ❤❤
LOL I wonder how many of Smokys fast cars have cages. Also did you guys get to see Top Secret 2 their body/paint shop?

Can someone please explain to me who owns Smokey’s original v12 Supra ? Last video I seen it was owned by someone in Florida. But isn’t it sitting in the back of his shop in this video?

Hello mate
I am wondering to work and get trained in japan in performance upgrade workshop please help me with the resources
Anyone please
Why does this sound like moog from mcm...
Where have i heard this voice before?
So this is where Smokey has been
Being an mkiii supra owner, Heartbreaking to see an rb in a jza80 the yota gang hot for that 1
The thought was that the RB could be tuned for a flatter power and tourqe curve. Smokey seemed to have the idea that the 2jz had too violent a power delivery for the same output, making it unsuitable for top speed runs.
3ys late, but at the time when he made those swaps, 2JZs didn’t have that much aftermarket support, unlike the RB platforms.
I love that supra
Oh my God.....
is dsport magazine still around? havent bought a copy in a while
We're still at it! Keep up with us at dsportmag.com
top secret bodykit always reminds me gtr.
That wasn’t Smokey in the Supra🤣
Smokey

That’s some crazy shit
those injectors are like 100 percent duty cycle
na im making 500ish at 90% on the stock jdm 440cc's on my 2j on 91 octane
What’s the name of the body kit? Or just the front bumper
Top secret
That front Supra look like R35
Andrew is an o.g
where is the shop tour?
Andrea Sanai are you blind your you on drugs fuckwit
I was expecting a tour and words from Smokey himself :(
I was thinking the same
Gaz Girl ... I think you’re the one on drugs here
Why did Nagata Sell the V12 Supra at the BH Auction?
not sure, maybe hes buying a new supra to play with . any idea how much it sold for ?
9mill yen, or 90,000 USD! Heres a video of the Lot 12 Bid for the car!!! ruclips.net/video/nVK-oBTZxIE/видео.html
@@bongskag around 80k..
rb26 swapped supra wow really cool
Crikey mate
The supra swap v12 actual buy this car 912 hp
Ahh man thats not the original Top Secret Smokey Nagata v12 supra. I see TR4PTEAM owns it now
this is the original V12 supra from 2007. Smokey has built several supras over the years. This V12 was sold at auction last year to a US buyer. The gold RB26 supra is in Abu Dhabi in original form
thats not how the Supra of 2019 will look like
Scary supra
He doesn't look like the typical owner? An doktor in Japan owns a R34 Z-Tune
The supra looks better in white . Why would someone put it the same seats but different colours lol
2:40 I think they like HKS...But I'm not too sure.
still waiting for my dsport subscription I paid for at formula D Long Beach

Land of the rising sun, Initial D beat of the rising sun
Screw the Supras... I wanted to see more of that ridiculous V35 Skyline turned into a V8TT
I think they like HKS idk...
Bmw lamborgibi bugatti put 50 dislikes
It's breed, not bride lol
Lmao, I haven't researched it yet but I'm going to right now. I swear... If they have a name like bride, how would they spell that breed?
Mark Speed6 Naa it's brid the "e" is silent
Kyle exactly breed or brid, e is silent
Yea, i looked it up, got time at work. Its breed. LOL
waaooo.for.real i thought it was bride not breed
Damn! Those side mirrors raped my eyes, looked like fake carbon-fibre, well cant be 100% sure though
unfortunately when i continued the video, that fakeness continued on the dash, that's a genuinen mistake from legendary tuner, kick ass ride otherwise though - One huge supra fan here!
& the price they would be sold in U.S. ... $200k 😂🔫
How to mess up a supra.
Let's go Brandon fjb USA USA USA USA
When a well known japanese shop uses american made BBS. Shows you how much American stuff are truly well made. Japanese, yes and no. Worst part its over priced, American stuff tools wise, best without a doubt, I can't say everything american is great though. Anyways. great tour video.
american stuff great? u mean what weaponry? cuz the rest is pretty shitty i would rather buy a german or japanese car than any american/french/spanish gibberish
Uhm. BBS is German I'm pretty sure.
Yeah BBS is german, not sure what he meant
Whats that for bullshit, a destroy Supra with a shit body kit and the other one has no heart more, where is his 2JZ?
Well they ruined a supra with a shit body kit
indian scammer it's a AB Flug kit
