Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Amazing what you can do with a Kenmeri Skyline, Hakosuka Skyline, Fairlady Z, some photoshop skills and fooling around with different JDM styles:
I especially love the Grand Champ Hello Bosozoku style! ;)

Ah, those fond memories of picking grapes and pears 33 years ago when we were still driving that Toyota Sprinter TE37 hardtop coupe…
That’s what this guy had when he saw this photo of the Sprinter together with cousin Sue.
So he returned back to the farm located at Kagaya in Akita 33 years later: Continue reading
A few weeks ago I bought this Toyota Carina GT-R AA63 on impulse and yesterday it finally got shipped (actually they forced shipment because it was too long in the warehouse) so I searched for it on Minkara. To my surprise I found there actually were two versions of them:
A white and a yellow Carina? I only got the yellow Carina, so now I need to find a white one as well! :(
A better shot of that lovely pair: Continue reading
I’ve seen a lot of weird panda Trueno merchandise, but this mouse is about the weirdest of them all!
Yes it really does look like an accurate scale model with a big bonnet bulge. ;)
And yes it does have working indicator lights: Continue reading
Yes I know: that’s a very blunt statement but as I see it there is a lot of truth in that. Apart from that it was meant to say I’m currently not hopping on the 86 bandwagon, not writing the same as thousands of bloggers out there and simply just stick to the real deal: AE86 deathrace in Hokkaido!
Incredible how wild these guys throw their hachis around the track. Insanely close guardrail slides with the occasional tip over the tirestack to keep the audience awake. Well, actually I don’t think they were sleeping at all: they are just cheering to them to go closer!
Don’t get me wrong: the 86 is definitely one of the best engineered cars and it has got beautiful styling, but it is not the AE86. It is not an entry level car, not a light weight FR and on top of it all: it is currently hyped.

Last week I posted up the first generation Honda Prelude I spotted and this week I won’t bother you with the Honda S2000 but rather with the Skyline GTS-t ER33:
The presumable owner of this Skyline used to drive the USDM 240SX I spotted many times before when I still lived in that area. However he did own a Corolla GT AE86 before he owned the 240SX and it was the first time I saw an AE86 in real life. ;)
