Remembering Japanese cars from the past
During the decent from the hills around Jayapura I spotted this immaculate Nissan Skyline R31 parked next to a house with a beautiful skyline.
Double 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…

I hope their Nasi Kuning is as great as the Skyline. ;)
On route from Jayapura to the lake Sentani we made a short stop in the outer corner of a hairpin to refresh ourselves by drinking out of a freshly prepared coconut. Parked next to our van was this Honda Jazzy with a huge Greddy sticker on its side.
Honda Jazzy?
On our way to the magnificent view over Jayapura on the highest mountain in the neighborhood I spotted this Corolla Levin AE92:
Toyota Corolla Levin AE92
Not the supercharged GT-Z model, but at least it has a 4AGE heart beating under that bonnet.
The huge 16 inch wheels with a thin tirewall look a bit out of place here: the road conditions around Jayapura are quite bad so I reckon they won’t survive long…
This photos was taken from the bus somewhere outside Jayapura when we passed Mandala Motor. I already spotted them a few times and they had a vast number of wheelporn in their workshop.

The convertible appears to be a VW bug that was modified with a Celica Z10 nose by Lipu…
To be honest: I have no idea if this car actually is a genuine second generation Honda City Turbo, but its bodywork and trim surely suggests it…

On the day of arrival I took a small stroll around the hotel area and encountered these two touge monsters!

On the left a Corona T120 sedan with … rims and on the right a two door Corolla KE35 on RS Waranabe rims with a bit more wild modifications than the Corona.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Corolla pass by for work on another morning stroll and its raspy exhaust noise was as enjoyable as the looks of it.

On the last day I made another morning stroll but did not meet the owner so I just put a Bosozoku Style sticker under the windshield wipers of both cars. ;)
