Hundreds of custom vehicles made it down to the German vs Jap event that took place at the Nasrec Expo Centre on Saturday the 6^th of April. At the event German and Japanese manufactured vehicles were set to compete to see which of the two country`s vehicle are best represented in South Africa.

The various competitions that were held include a Show n shine, Sound off competition and Dyno runs where only the best customised and modified rides would win in the different categories of each competition. In the German corner Audi`s, Wolkswagen`s, BMW`s and Mercedez Benze`s rivaled Japan manufactured Nissan, Honda and Toyota vehicles.

Out in the show n shine competition German rides outnumbered the Japanese, from Wolkswagen MK1`s, Polo`s, VW Caddy`s, Sciroccos, Seat Leon`s, various BMW E generation models and the presence of the South Side crew`s old school Mercs. Even though German rides were out in their numbers one could not miss one of the best Japanese customsed ride, a Pretoria based Maroon Nissan Sabre 200sti. The show stopper   feature of this particular Nissan is its “Scissor doors”, which caught peoples eye`s from a distance. Its doors open to a fully customised interior that features a custom dash board with a built in DVD player, bucket seats and a 142 db sound system. Exterior customs include a 40 mm drop, 5 star chrome 18” rims, a custom boot and remote controlled rear doors with shaved door handles.  Santoz Adoni`s Nissan doesn’t only have show stopping looks but also has the performance to make it a fully customised ride.

IASCA South Africa hosted the sound off competition and dyno run parallel to the show n shine. On the dyno different vehicles tested their performance, as the Germans dominated the show n shine it was clear that the Japanese manufactured vehicle we all about performance. Having the most kilowatts on the dyno was the main objective, but what was most impressive was seeing a supercharged Toyota Tazz pushing 279 kW and 418 nm of torque, which was least expected from the model.  

 At the sound competition the overall winners were Meshack Narainsamy 165.3 db, Irfaan Mahomed 157.6 db and Kogilan Maistry 154.2. The German vs Jap event was a well organized show which attracted some if the country`s best custom and performance cars.
