Thank you for 30 years of support and highlights

Thank you GReddy fans who attended or viewed our coverage from our GReddy Performance Product, Inc 30th Anniversary event. The celebration marked the GReddy brand in the USA since 1994. We are proud of part in the USA's Japanese tuning culture and we look forward to many more years of high performance fun. But before we get into the GReddy 30th Anniversary coverage (Fan Event Photos), we would like to recap some our proudest GPP highlights over our 30years here in the states (for posparity...) Please click our links below for more details on our @greddyperformance Instagram #GReddyGPPsince1994 posts. 

Top GPP Highlights 1994-2024

#1 The TRUST/GReddy brand has been producing high performance products since 1977 in Japan. However the GReddy brand officially got its start in North America with the estabishment of GReddy Performance Products, Inc. in March of 1994.

#2 In September of 1995, GPP moved into our 9 Vanderbilt Irvine CA Headquarter.  The same building we still occupy today. - (For the Grand Opening event the famous GReddy RX R32 GT-R was brought from Japan.)

#3 GPP's first major award came from our 50-state street legal Honda Civic bolt-on turbo kit, that also won the 1996 SEMA Show's Best New Product in the Street Performance category. 

#4 For the 1998 SEMA Import Auto Salon consumer show, the TRUST flagship GReddy RX S-Roc R33 GT-R made a tour of the USA with races and car shows.

#5 In the late '90s- early 2000s, Import Drag Racing was born and grew into a huge part of the culture.  GPP was at the forefront of supporting many of the top Import Racers of the time, with our T-Power turbo campaign. 

#6 GReddy was also there supporting one of the most ground breaking Import / FWD racers, Stephen Papadakis and his record-breaking FF Drag Civic(s).

#7 Another huge impact on the Import culture was the Fast and Furious movie franchise.  GReddy is proud for our early involvement in the long lasting series and the mainstream recognition it brought to the tuning industry.

#8 With the reintroduction of the Z  in 2002, GReddy developed the ground breaking twin turbo kit for the VQ35 350Z and lead the way in a number of magazine shoot-outs, as we also did with our Honda Si Challenge winning, GReddy Turbo EP3

#9 Contributions in the early years of American Drifting came for GReddy in 2003 with racers from Japan and the USA for the D1GP USA series and later the Formula Drift Pro Championships.  

#10 Setting new standards in SEMA Show builds, GReddy gained numerous accolades.  One fine example was our 2007 build with a fully modified (inside and out) GReddy 350Z HR Twin Turbo, which also won the Playstation GT Award for Best Japanese vehicle of the show.

#11 GPP also pushed the boundaries in Import shows, with another first, our largest GPP event ever, on Feb. 23 of 2008. It was called GReddyFEST and it was held at El Toro Airfield (It combined a performance driving, with product sales as well as a free car meet.)

#12 We also experienced some tough times like in 2008 with a reorganization, but we overcame that to be stronger and better, with help of great leadership (in the form of our very own Kenji Sumino as GPP president)

#13 2009 also marked a new era in tuning with the introduction of modern vehicle dynamics, like in the R35 GT-R.  GPP helped pioneer this platform and break records.  We even successfully challenge top tier American and European tuners with our very own GReddy RX GTR project

#14 2010 we began to bring the shows and meets to the GPP HQ, with the GReddyFest2.  This was a hit by geared to the popular Automotive Enthusiast Car Forums of the times. 

#15 In 2011 GPP made the moved to more racing series, joining the Scion car brand to campaign a tC for Time Attack and Pikes Peak as well as our start with Ken Gushi's (Scion) Toyota Formula Drift efforts with the FRS (that we still support to this day)

#16 For the 2013 and 2014 SEMA Shows, GPP won back to back Playstation Best Import GT Award wins for "Ken Gushi's 2JZ Rocket Bunny FRS and then the GReddy x Garrett Rocket Bunny R35 GTR project.

#17 Probably one of our most famous builds came for actor, Sung Kang (Han of the Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift) with his Pandem kitted S30 GReddy Fugu Z.  That not only gave our our third Playstation GT Award in a row but also the BEST of Show Award (immortalizing the car virtually in Grand Truism game.  It also helped spark the emergence of "Retro-mod Tuning"for imports.

#18 Mr. Miura of Rocket Bunny Pandem fame, entrusted GPP in building his 2018 SEMA Show car, the Pandem FC3S. It also turned heads and ended up winning Super Street's Ultimate Award Best of Show. 

#19 In 2019, the new Supra was introduced and the extreme GReddy A90 GR Supra was the hit of the show, winning yet another Super Street's Ultimate Award Best of show as well as the Toyota's own Best GR Supra (out of over 60 GR Supras at the show)  - (But this vehicle had an interspersing twist, as it later became the 1st fully autonomous drift TMI GR Supra)

#20 During the pandemic of 2020, the SEMA Show was cancelled and we took this opportunity to again break ground on an innovative idea to host a free virtual online car event called. GPP Live. (We also introduced our GPP complete engine program.)  It became a first of it's kind 4hour livestream car show on Facebook, with guest cars, interviews, celebrities and even online giveaways.

#21 More recently we have re-explored more of older Japanese supercars like the R32, R33, R34 GTR / RB26, and JZA80 Supra / 2JZ for new technology to tune these iconic Japanese classics.  Prime examples were the GReddy-built retro-mod. Dai33 GT-R and and Garage Active Dry Carbon #8 or GReddy RX2. 

#22 Growing since 2015 has been the GReddy line of Auto Enthusiast apparel and merchandise in both the GReddy and our Boost Brigade brands.  This has expanded to cool and unique collaborations with leading streetwear brands like in4mation, Student Driver, Huf Worldwide and now Lakai footwear.  With even more projects with the likes of Hot Wheels, Momo, Motul, Kaido House and more...
