Most painful Itasha ever: Nissan Skyline KPGC10

February 16, 2010 / banpei / 5 Comments

Yes, it is indeed a painful (pun intended) sight to see a Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10 this way:

Most painful Itasha ever: Nissan Skyline KPGC10
I don’t think it will get the title of the most expensive itasha ever since I’ve seen several Ferrari and Lamborghini covered completely with anime vinyls.

On the other hand Haruhi blends perfectly in with the blue periodically correct racing stripes:

So even though it may be painful it is also done with great taste! ;)

Found in the JCCA NYM 2010 meeting pictures of Life doodling.

Video: Heartbreaking Nissan Skyline C110 crash tests

February 13, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

I found an early 70s short documentary about the development of the Nissan Skyline C110! It starts with the the C110 development, then moves to manufacturing of a C110 and then comparing a C110 to previous generations around 2:00 with a four-split screen.

Skyline C110 development and manufacturing

The only touges we saw in the past were nicely paved mountain passes with screaming twin cams drifting in a downhill battle. Nice to see there were actually rough touges in the 70s!

Skyline crash test

The end of the first and second video continue on the design and crash testing of the Skyline C110:

The test track is, of course, the Oppama Grandrive. Funny to see they already covered the looks of the testcars/prototypes with black cloth as well back then! And just when you think everything is going well they show the C110 Skyline crash test! What’s even more heartbreaking are all those crashed C110s piled up with foliage growing through them.

I must say this is one of the nicest vintage videos I’ve seen in ages!

Japanese rustoseums (part six)

Time for some more Japanese rustoseums? This time they were shot by RA64Freddy:

Nissan Skyline DR30 in a frozen mudfield
This Skyline looks a bit lonely in that frozen mudfield. Who would leave such a nice four door sedan in the mid of a muddy field?

Toyota Sprinter AE70 2 door hardtop
What about this Sprinter 2 door hardtop then? According to RA64Freddy it is a 1500cc 3A-U engined car, so the AE70 designation should be correct for this beauty!

More of the Nissan Skyline VC10 van

Another video was posted upon that beautiful Skyline van!

Last time I was wrong: the chassis code is VC10 instead of GC10!
The owner asks in the description of the video if anyone has a VC10 outside Japan. So if you have one, head over here to send him your footage!

Video: Skyline C110 JDM versus EU/AU

January 21, 2010 / banpei / 2 Comments

Ever wondered what the difference is between the taillights of a EU/AU 240K GT GC110 and a JDM Skyline C110?

JDM on the left, EU/AU on the right.
I must say I like the JDM a lot better than the EU/AU spec. Let alone for having the double brakelights. ;)
