Remembering Japanese cars from the past
This particular Yonmeri Skyline was actually owned by one of the members of the Aoyama Jokers (one of the most notorious Bosozoku gangs in the 70s and 80s) and modified in what we call Kyusha Kai nowadays.

The car features a set of 9J wide Volk Mesh rims.
Of course this picture was taken near the beach/shore and the owner stands casually next to his pride and joy. Definitely worth adding such a photo to your family album!

During one of my early morning cycles to work I encountered a familiar face that I saw a few months before: a Toyota Crown S110!
Toyota Crown MS110 Super Saloon
The car is a 1980 Toyota Crown Super Saloon and was delivered originally to the Netherlands. That is quite rare these days since most older cars seem to be imported from either Germany or Switzerland who have a bit less classic friendly laws nowadays.
In this case it turned out to be a Crown MS112 featuring the 2.8 liter 5M-EU engine.

The car itself looked immaculate which is very surprising for an original Dutch car.

The car features an automatic gearbox which should give it the smoothest ride you can imagine.
And later that day I found out it is actually for sale, but the sales ad on Marktplaats has already gone. So I pressume it has been sold now.
Reminds me of the fact that the brown Toyota Crown LS110 I posted some time ago is also for sale:

BTW: The reason for its high price is the fact that it is a diesel powered car.
This cute video featuring many many photos of Nissan Paos and Nissan Figaros (and their owners) was created by Yamamottinn, I expect him to have had a lot of work visiting, photographing and finding the right setting for all those individuals…
Loved it so much that I re-ran it several times and already played with the idea of owning one myself. ;)
I found this video of illegal street drag races in Japan during the early 90s. What strikes me most is the enormous number of Fairlady Zs and Skyline GT-R used for this purpose.
The most amazing modification is done to a Z31 around 2:33!
Supra605 found this JDM Carina CA60 rustoseum parked somewhere in the Ukraine. It appears to be in a very poor state, flat tires, lots of dents, rusty bootlid. Still the fender mirrors appear to be as shiny as 30 years ago! :)
The sticker on the windshield reveals it was exported to the Ukraine around 1989 since it last had seen shaken in Showa 64 (1989).
This prequel to the 1966 third Japanese Grandprix held at Fuji International Speedway is a great rendering of the era back then: no fear, real men with big engined cars, the Prince r380 and, of course, the big rival Porsche!
I also found it a bit weird that the Jaguar E-Type got so much attention compared to the Honda S800 and Toyota Sports 800. Then again: the Nissan Skyline C10 still had to arrive…
