We took our R34 GTR's to Top Secret in Japan and met the legendary Smokey Nagata! Top Secret Co., Ltd. (株式会社トップシークレット, Kabushiki-gaisha Toppu Shīkuretto) is a Japanese automobile tuner and parts manufacturer. The company was founded by Japanese automotive engineer and driver, Kazuhiko “Smokey” Nagata.

Founder Kazuhiko “Smokey'' Nagata began his career as a mechanic for Toyota as their youngest employee. He then became a tuner and fabricator at Trust/GReddy. As he began using the Trust shop for his own personal projects in 1978, the name "Top Secret" was born, as a nickname for his discreet work at the Trust facility. His employers allowed this to continue as Nagata was a highly skilled employee and valuable asset to the company.

Top Secret became independent from Trust in 1991 and set up their own shop in Chiba. In 1993, the company began exhibiting at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

Since 1994, Nagata and the Top Secret team have participated in speed trials and speed challenges such as 0-400 km/h (0-249 mph), 0-300km/h (0-186 mph), 1000m, and top speed challenges. Nagata famously performed many illegal speed runs on public roads, including 341km/h (212 mph) on the Autobahn (Germany), 358km/h (222 mph) on Nardò (Italy) with a Top Secret V12 Supra, and 317km/h (197 mph) on public roads in the UK. He is well known in the JDM car community and became universally known because of reposted clips on different social media platforms of these illegal high speed runs. Some clips found on YouTube are sourced from “Midnight 200mph Blast”(DVD).

A recognizable feature of many #TopSecret tuned cars are their gold paint schemes. Only cars that Nagata deem to be his best work receive this special gold paint scheme. #gtr #r34gtr #midnightclub
