Rebirth of an Icon: Doğukan Manço’s R34 “Asuman” Build

In this iconic build initiated with immense automotive passion by Doğukan Manço, KT Auto Styling took charge of the body kit sculpting and visual transformation that define the car’s identity.

Rather than standard assembly, we solved the fitment discrepancies between aftermarket composite panels and the chassis with advanced custom coachwork craftsmanship. Recognizing fiberglass as a living composite, we heat-treated and contoured each element to re-align fender and hood gaps with millimetric precision.

Considering the high top speeds and aerodynamic demands of this machine, our focus extended far beyond surface aesthetics into structural integrity. Our mission: an R34 that commands respect through flawless engineering.

Family Heirloom, Japanese Legend: 1990 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ73 LX

As guests on the "Hayatım Otomobil" automotive channel, we examined the most treasured member of the KT Auto Styling garage: our family heirloom 1990 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ73.

Specially ordered from Japan in 1990 and part of our family ever since, this truck is the most cherished legacy of my late father, Erol Tuncer. Surpassing 1 million kilometers over 35 continuous years in our family, it serves as living proof of the timeless Land Cruiser legacy.

This vehicle is the original factory "FRP Top" convertible edition. With its boxy stance, iconic round headlights, and relentless trail torque, it remains an eternal classic.

Japonic: Nissan Skyline GTR R34 R&D Engineering
