Family Album Treasures: Gigantic silencer on Skyline R30

No votes yet

Dunno what's the story of this gigantic silencer, but it surely must have looked very impressive in the late 80s:

That squatting pose reminds me a bit of Takumi and Istuki on an Initial D manga cover.

How often can you spot a Nissan Skyline R34, Toyota Celica ZZT230 and a Toyota Bb parked next to each other?

If you look closely you can also spot another Celica ZZT230 further down in the parkinglot!

And how about spotting another red Toyota Bb parked in the center of some Dutch town the same day? And spot two other R34s the same day as well?

And if you turn your head 45 degrees see another Nissan Fairlady 350Z parked next to a big giant?

Family Album Treasures: Squat in front of a GC10

The quality of this picture is too low to determine the exact type of the Skyline GC10, but at least we can make out that it is the later type...

In the background more late 60s/early 70s J-tin and judging from the clothes the picture is definitely taken somewhere in the early 70s...


Japanese rustoseums (part thirteen)

Time for a few more rustoseums!

Some time ago I proved that it could get worse than just a few sports cars rusting away: a bunch of Skyline C10s is about the worst thing I could find. The second worst rustoseum is absolutely the Mazda Cosmo and this Nissan Skyline 2000 GTE KGC111 is a good third I guess:
Japanese rustoseum: Nissan Skyline 2000 GTE KGC111
Japanese rustoseum: Nissan Skyline 2000 GTE KGC111

The 2000 GT-E KGC111 was the Hardtop version of the C110 range with a fuel injected L20. It superseded the carbed 2000 GT KGC110 and to distinguish the difference between the two the type designation was inceased with one. This Skyline GT-E is definitely beyond repair...

And fourth place would definitely be this Isuzu 117 Coupe:
Read on for the 117 coupe rustoseum!

Family Album Treasures: Long haired Skyline GTX

Suppose you are an American, work for the airforce and (of course) move to a base in Japan somewhere in 1979, what car would you drive then?
A Nissan Skyline C110 of course!

This long blonde haired American owned a 1974 Nissan Skyline 2000 GTX complete with a set of periodically correct Hart Racing rims back in 1982.
