nissan skyline

There are a few things in life that expose your excellent taste: food and style. When you mix both you will almost immediately love to eat your Bento box in the driverseat of your Skyline C10.

I did post some Skyline van videos before and all of them were by Deluxe1969. Now this video shows his own van: his Nissan Skyline VC110 van!

Beautiful, isn't it?
The car itself is a G-16 powered Skyline deluxe, so double barrel carburettor and 100hp on the tap. I have no idea what the thing on the roof is, but IMO it looks like an ex-ambulance...

You can also see it in action in this video:

Now I want one too! Anyone who wants to buy a kidney? ;)

I just love the composition of this picture: the Mooneyes logo on the truck is watching this four door Nissan Skyline RS-Turbo DR30!

I'm watching you: Nissan Skyline DR30
Yes, the RS-Turbo isn't Moon Equipped and sits on a set of Formula Meshes... It is just as if the logo was saying: I'm watching you! You're not even Moon Equipped! :D

Yes, it is indeed a painful (pun intended) sight to see a Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10 this way:

Most painful Itasha ever: Nissan Skyline KPGC10
I don't think it will get the title of the most expensive itasha ever since I've seen several Ferrari and Lamborghini covered completely with anime vinyls.

On the other hand Haruhi blends perfectly in with the blue periodically correct racing stripes:

Most painful Itasha ever: Nissan Skyline KPGC10
So even though it may be painful it is also done with great taste! ;)

I found an early 70s documentary about the development of the Nissan Skyline C110! It starts with the Prince R380 video I posted some time ago and continues with a C110 driving through Tokyo at 2:44:

The only touges we saw in the past were nicely paved mountain passes with screaming twin cams drifting in a downhill battle. Nice to see there were actually rough touges in the 70s!

The end of the first and second video continue on the design and testing of the C110:

The test track is, of course, the Oppama Grandrive. Funny to see they already covered the looks of the testcars/prototypes with black cloth as well back then!

The end of the second video and almost all of the third video concentrate on the Prince R380 and Skyline C10 racing history:

Some very famous races can be watched in these videos!

The end of the third video and the beginning of the fourth video show the crash testing of the C110:

The amount of vintage J-tin in that crash test wreck yard is heartbreaking! :(

I must say this is one of the nicest vintage videos I've seen in ages!
