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?

Never knew the Datsun 200SX/Datsun Silvia/Nissan Gazelle S110 actually sold in Mexico as the Datsun Sakura.
Personally I think the name is even more awesome than Gazelle or Silvia, let alone 200SX… But that’s just my opinion. ;)
For the non-European readers this Mitsubishi Mirage (aka Colt and Cyborg) Coupe ‘CC’ may not be that special, but for us Europeans it is quite an unfamiliar car.

Blue 1993 Mitsubishi Mirage
The two door coupe was basically a model between the 3 door hatch and the four door sedan, but never made it to the European shores. This blue 1993 Mirage has been on the Continental shores since 1994, so it only spent one year on the other side of the ocean.
For us it is a bit weird to see a bootlid instead of hatchback between these two rear lights!

But apart from that it looks pretty much the same as an ordinary Colt ‘CC’.
HachiRock Festa 2011 has been announced just a few days away from Hachi-Roku day. Now that’s some really good news!

HachiRock Festa 2011
As you can see the festival is held on the 19th of September in the Sagamiko resort and the artwork is just as beautiful as always!

Imagine getting a tip to collect two unused 80s Nissan Skylines and when arriving at the spot you find this to be parked between the bushes:

Nissan Skyline R30 drag racer rustoseum
An 90s drag race monster based upon a Skyline DR30!
The hood is a lightweight FRP bonnet by Rebic, headlights have been replaced for dummy items and the front wheels are a set of lightweight Wats.

At the rear two big ass wheels plus tires, a wide (center) exhaust that would make my drainpipe die of envy. ;)
And what about the other Skyline?

Nissan Skyline DR30 widebody
Oh, nothing special: just a widebody Ironmask… w(°0°)w

This masked rider is certainly going for the 80s hotrod style with his Nissan Gloria 330. Photo was probably taken in the same era.

Hotrod Gloria 330
For some reason the blanked-out licenseplate makes this Gloria’s front look like face. The licenseplate resembles the tongue hanging out of its mouth and it’s even got some orange cheekbones… I bet you can’t look at that picture anymore without picturing that face in your head! ?????
Now that’s certainly a picture that should be in my family album! :P
