Irian Jaya: Skylining Skyline R31

No votes yet

During the decent from the hills around Jayapura I spotted this immaculate Nissan Skyline R31 parked next to a house with a beautiful skyline.

After almost thirty years it is still bone stock!

No badges or decals on the trunk or side so I can only make a rough guess what trim it could be...

Commerical time: Long drive Skyline GC10

No votes yet

I think I posted a few of these commercials sometime before, but most of the videos have been removed from Youtube in the meantime. Hopefully these won't disappear since they are not ripped from the DVD.

Even before the famous Ken and Mary C110 commercials Nissan was marketing the Skyline to be the car for the young and sporty couples, including the G18 Skyline GC10 deluxe around 9:08. Funny how his beret changes into a hat within a few seconds...

Don't be fooled by the first commercial: that's a model from the previous S50 generation Skyline.

Mental note: If I ever buy a Skyline C10 I'll definitely have to buy a beret as well!


WTF: Thoroughbred Skyline 2000GT Turbo

When I think of a high performance Skyline R30 I alway picture either the louvre grille DR30 or the tekkamen (Iron Mask) DR30, but not this thoroughbred 2000GT Turbo:

Thoroughbred in Skyline terms means it is at least having a L20 engine under its hood:

JAF2011: Finally some celluloid photos! (part 2)

In total there were three AE86s on the paddock. Yesterday I already posted the purple Corolla AE86 with the BEAMS 3S-GE conversion, so how about this red Corolla AE86 with some deep dished SSR dori-dori rims?

His Corolla Levin AE86 started its life as a Swiss red panda Corolla GT and slowly he migrated it to a driftstyle hachi.

He actually downgraded its looks by removing the Vertex bumpers. Personally I like it much better with the stock bumpers back on again: mimics the grassroots JDM driftstyle much better!
BTW: The photo was a bit of over exposed on the left due to inserting the film.

The hachi is owned by my friend Oldskull and I still think it is amazing what he does to it! The SSR Dori-doris are just a small example how great you can make a hachi look!

Count the Skylines! (part 2)

After the AE86 Matsuri the Skyline Owners Battle started. To actually get on to Tsukuba Circuit the Skylines had to wait a bit and made a long line of cars. Can you count the Skyline R30s lined up here?
