Street Machine Magazine December 2025

STREET MACHINE December 2025 ISSUE ON SALE NOW!

The December 2025 issue of Street Machine is in stores now, starring Rob and Jeremy Guljas’s incredible HG Prem on the cover. You don’t even need to flick past page one to take in the impeccable fab work or the Harrop-blown big-block heart, and you’d never guess the thing was built in just six months – what a car!

Ryan Kelly’s XY was a garden-variety GT tribute with a 500hp Clevo, but when that wasn’t enough anymore, he stepped into the 21st century with a boosted 7.3L Godzilla V8 offering well in excess of twice the grunt.

The inaugural Street Machine Nationals in Griffith way back in 1975 was viewed by many as the inception of the sport of street machining in Australia. This year, a group of legends gathered in Griffith with some truly iconic cars to honour the 50th anniversary.

People have been stuffing GM motors in Ford cars since the early days of hot rodding, but it’s far less common in reverse. Daniel Hookham proves that it can be a recipe for success with his insane twin-turbo Coyote-powered VB Commodore; a street car that has gone 7.0 over the quarter!

Brenton Lee bought this tough Cortina for his misso, then proceeded to turn it into a howling, 680hp rocket ship.

The Kiwi car scene is incredible, and from time to time we like to hop across the ditch to see what’s up. The inaugural Chrome Showcase event was a damn good time, and unearthed some killer cars that we never knew existed.

Built by Warhorse Motorsports, Jason Roberts’s stunning ‘Capo’ Buick Special has presence and visual appeal in spades, and a blown LS3 to boot.

For the Mopar fans, Jim Lambas’s epic VG Valiant packs six in a row, built to go. The car has evolved over many years to the point where the Weber-fed 265 Hemi spits out an impressive 442hp!

The burgeoning No Prep Racers Australia series is rapidly growing the popularity of no-prep drag racing in this country, and competitors turned out in force for the NPRA’s Gunfight at Gunnedah event.

When Nathan Stewart acquired his HQ ute, it was a rough-and-ready farm rig. No longer, with gunbarrel-straight panels and a thumping tunnel-rammed LS3 on board.

All this and more in the December 2025 issue of Street Machine, on sale now!
