Icon spotlight: The S14 and the BNR32
Nissan has possibly the most extensive “cult-like following” presence among the Japanese marques. Solidified with 3 major choices in terms of platform, the Z, R, and S-Chassis, builders are rewarded thru support from the aftermarket community.

Taken at Daikoku Futo. No trip to this parking lot in Yokohoma is possible without encountering an S or R chassis.
Founder of Fatlace, Mark Arcenal, has proven that the S14 is limitless thru a variety of looks with his own personal build.
Built as a drift car, Mark’s S14 pays reference to the Fatlace DNA which started in sneakers, lifestyle and street culture.
An extension of the movement, this particular S14 showed homage to the brand’s love for graffiti painting.
Around 7 years, ago, Mark built a time-attack spec BNR32 in San Francisco. One of his dream cars while growing up, this R32 was sold to give way for several automotive projects.
