Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Now this is something different: a Nissan Skyline DR30 with a huge american influence. Maybe better to referred as the Skyline Trans Am:

You can clearly see the nose is a copy of the 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.
The big question remains: what were they thinking:
Nissan Skyline Trans Am
Lots and lots of scoops, wings and other stuff. It almost feels like a riced out Firebird… But the only thing is that it isn’t a Pontiac…

I found ae86lan adding these videos to his favorites on Youtube. The three videos are footage of touge runs in May 1990 with mainly AE86s, AE82s and Starlets. I must warn that there is hardly any drifting involved in these videos: most cars car grip driving up and down the touges around Chichibu.
The Skyline lookalike tail lights in the beginning of the clip are from a Nissan Langley. You can also spot around 4:00 a Celica AA63 and around 5:00 a Carina AA63.
Here is another video from that very same night:
And last but not least, another one from a different night going up and downhill:

I love the concept, music and, of course, the car! Big thumbs up to Michal Bakiewicz!
