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.

Back in 1989 when the Japanese economy was still blooming and the Lost Decade was on the doorstep, this guy looked so careless in his Y30:
Careless in your Gloria Y30
Nothing to worry about! ;)
Found at KPY30VIP
What would you prefer more: a tekamen Skyline DR30 or a girl sandwich? Why not do both?

And of course a nice zenki Levin in the background. ;)
When I found the picture of Fuji International Speedway I posted last week I got an Initial D feeling from the whole scene. So I could not resist modifying it with some comic sound effects from Initial D:
Comic version: Fuji Speedway International visit
Even better to keep this version in your family album, right?
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…
Nissan Skyline GC10 squat
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…
We all know the Japanese are very fond of doing the V-sign, but this guy really overdoes it!
GX61 stands for Victory
Not that his GX61 is ugly, but I would certainly not call it a WIN!
