Top Secret Co., Ltd. is a Japanese automobile tuner and parts manufacturer. The company was founded by Japanese automotive engineer and driver, Kazuhiko “Smokey” Nagata.
The company is mainly known for its body kits and performance engineering. Top Secret is also known for its illegal Wangan high speed runs, professional Drifting, Circuit, and Drag Racing. 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 paint scheme.
Ryuji Miki won Round 5, and ultimately won the 2004 Japanese D1GP championship in a Nissan Siliva S15 racing for Top Secret. In 2005 Miki won an exhibition round at Silverstone ciruit in the UK in a Nissan Fairlady Z.
In 2007 Yoichi Imamura took 3rd place at Round 3 and 6 at Suzuka and Autopolis respectively. Imamura also won an exhibition round at Las Vegas Motor Speedway the same year.
Top Secret won the 2007 Tokyo Auto Salon Championship with its "Final Evolution" V12 twin turbo Toyota Supra.
At the 2017 Tokyo Auto Salon, Top Secret debuted an R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R that had been transplanted with the engine, driveline, and interior of the newer R35 Nissan GT-R. The tuning company dubbed this car the "Skyline VR32 GT-R".
Kazuhiko Nagata grew up in the northern most Hokkaido province of Japan working on his parent's farm. Nagata became interested in automobiles and started working as a mechanic at the local Toyota dealership. It was there that Nagata began modifying cars and street racing.
