Biodata

   Kazuhiko Nagata or also known as 'Smokey Nagata' was born in Hokkaido,Japan in 1964

A famous Japanese car engineer. Smokey doesn’t have the look of a menace to society. He’s softly spoken and anxiously fidgets in conversation, often cowering back into a shell of introversion that wraps around his stunted, slight frame. During his young age his father loved to drive fast so he starting obsessed with the sensation of speed and started tinkering with cars in his 15 he bought his first car a Mitsubishi Galant GTO with the helped of a local boss at Toyota he menage to make the car running.He was suspended from his school after illegally drove his car to school.The local  boss give a job to him cause he feel responsible to what happen to Smokey.He usually uselly modified his Toyota Celica without permission during work hours. After of four years of  hard work as a mechanical at Toyota company Smokey Nagata caught red handed and was fired by the company.Then he moved to Tokyo to fullfiled his dream to become a race driver.

Top Secret

   To get more money Smokey Nagata join a tuning company, Trust. Again his was caught working on his own project during work but this time his boss keep it to himself thus the name of his famous tuning shop,Top Secret was inspired by the secret between him and his boss.Just wanting to be faster,Smokey’s always been brand agnostic and often mixes a cocktail of different manufacturers’ components to make Frankenstein, bright gold (winners only get gold, see) vmax machines. Over the years, he’s been through every generation of GT-R, with an R32 being Top Secret’s first. Later, his R33 Skyline GT-R managed 0–300kph in 17 seconds at Yatabe and 204mph in the tunnel.In 1991 Top Secret became independent from Trust with Smokey Nagata as the founder of the company 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. 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 Top Secret tuned cars are their gold paint schemes. Only cars that Nagata deem to be his best work receive this special gold paint scheme.
