Remembering Japanese cars from the past

Amazing: your plumber drives a Kenmeri Skyline GT-R!

A plumber driving a Kenmeri Skyline GT-R? Well, not entirely true: Huminori Watanabe is a plumber and he drives a Nissan Skyline KGC110 GT-R imitation.

Okay the title may be a bit click-baity and this plumber doesn’t come to your house in his Kenmeri Skyline. But the fact remains that this plumber actually owns a Nissan Skyline GT-R C110 replica! It looks and feels the same, but if you listen well you will notice the engine sound isn’t exactly the same…

And if you look careful enough you will notice this Kenmeri Skyline GT-R has a SOHC L20A or L24 inline six and not the DOHC S20 that featured in the GT-R. In other words: it’s a KGC110 and not a KPGC110. Still a very cool car to do your plumbing in! :D :D

DR30 Carclub Restive Horse


At the Garage Pleasure blog I spotted a picture of a DR30 parked in front of a Garage where the DR30 inside garage looked very very agressive:

Now what would be the purpose of that DR30?

I found out that the Garage belonged to the DR30 carclub Restive Horse and they park three of their most precious DR30s in there:

The one (for the people at home) on the left is a true hardcore track monster (still road legal!) and the one on the right able to drive both on the road and on the track.

Yes, you can only see two of them because the two in front are parked so tight that you can hardly see the one parked behind them! I knew square meters are expensive in Japan, but that it actually is this bad:

That is just millimeters away from denting! :P

This is how aggressive the road going track monster looks:

This picture proves that hardcore track cars can also be very cute:

Kawaiiii! ^_-
I should have made such a picture of my Carina and my son, but for that it is already too late: he weights more than 19 kilograms already…

Vintage 1976 Nissan Skyline C110 brochure + posters

Just found this vintage 1976 Nissan Skyline GC110 brochure + posters in an auction on Ebay:
Nissan Skyline C110 brochure + posters
Nissan Skyline C110 brochure + posters

It does not only contain the GC110, but also posters of Ken and Meri, older Skylines (from 1957 onwards) and some racing cars(R380, R381 and the 50 victories by the Skyline!)

The Buy-me-now is right (39,95 AUD) but together with the shipping it is a bit steep… So if anyone wishes to give me a birthday present on the 16th, this is a good gift! ;)

You can find the auction here:

And hurry: the auction ends on the 11th of April!
