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?
Count the Skyline R30s!

Rediculously cool Skyline sunset
This is one of the most brilliant photos I’ve seen so far this year: a sunset with the most beautiful Skyline lineup you can imagine! Obviously it now sits on the background of my desktop. :)
Third old car meeting in Hiroshima
The photo was taken by Mikuni Auto at the third Hiroshima old car meeting. The meeting itself was, obviously, a charity event for the Japanese Red Cross.

The ask sign in this picture caught my eye and made me wonder what the price of this marvelous original zenki Nissan Skyline GT-R PGC10 would be…
Just ask the price of this PGC10…
But I think I would not dare to ask: it would probably be way beyond my budget. Then again: if you don’t ask you will never know. ;)

Yesterday I posted an old video I downloaded once. Can you still remember the days before internet video sites like Youtube? Basically everybody downloaded and swapped movies online. I still remember having an FTP login on a server in Japan where grassroots videos were uploaded now and then…
Anyway, another one from the old shoebox: Keiichi Tsuchiya driving Ken Nomuras Nissan Skyline ER34. Video should be from somewhere 2001 or 2002: Ken Nomura started driving the ER34 in 2001 and I downloaded this video in 2002.
Judging from the old-man style driving the Dorikin did not really think it was that exciting to drive…
Music from commercials always have been successful if the product caught on. This was especially the case for the Nissan Skyline in Japan: apparently there were many vinyl records, cassette tapes and CDs sold with the music of the Skyline commercials.
Kayou is a collector of these items and put pictures of them on Minkara:

And what would a collection be without the full Paul Newman cassette collection?

See here for some of the different Paul Newman commercials.
And let’s not forget the most important one:
Nissan Skyline Ken & Mary CD
Ken and Mary! You can find their commercials here.
I really envy Kayou: gems like this swap hands for loads of money on Auctions Yahoo nowadays…
Well actually it looks like that, but IRL this Skyline DR30 lineup is not in Dubai or any other tropical place. They are parked next to an exclusive resort (??????) near Minamichita town in the Aichi Prefecture.
