The SR Heritage Event Reignited My Love for Japan
Since the late ’80s, grip racers, drifters, and weekend warriors have played the distinct note of Nissan’s 4-cylinder 2.0-liter turbo-charged performance engine. Since then the SR20 seems to have a fanbase that has only grown. The SR Heritage event held at Shizuoka’s Fuji Speedway is a testament engine’s legacy. The cars and culture surrounding the engine things equally legendary.
Many consider the late ’80s and early ’90s the golden era of motorsports culture in Japan. Initial D, Best Motoring International, and games like Gran Turismo have elevated this twenty-year period of time a mythical status. Nissan’s SR engine was racing in the mountains, on the track, and straight into our hearts.
Below are photos of the event. An article will be linked below once written.
