Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Remember the different illustration styles of a JDM Skyline I posted a few weeks ago?
If you do: you’re in luck because there is a second one with only the Hakosuka Skyline KPGC10!
Especially the mixtures are very cool: Skyline+Porsche is simply too bizarre to see! Continue reading
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! 😉

Looking at the en-profile shot of this Nissan Skyline I can understand why the KPC10 is so unloved: the lines are all wrong for the coupé when it has got the short nose. Now if it were a short nosed 4 door…
But that probably didn’t matter for this member of the Jokers: he owned a Skyline C10 back in the 70s and I certainly will never… 😉

This is one of the most brilliant photos I’ve seen so far this year: a sunset with the most beautiful Skyline lineup you can imagine! Obviously it now sits on the background of my desktop. 🙂
Third old car meeting in Hiroshima
The photo was taken by Mikuni Auto at the third Hiroshima old car meeting. The meeting itself was, obviously, a charity event for the Japanese Red Cross.

JPN (Edit 2021: Rocketpencil no longer exists) uploaded another astonishing video: the 1971 Japanese Grand Prix held at Fuji International Speedway!
It consists out of three races: the Touring A (1600cc) class, Touring B (2000cc) class and the Grand Touring class, translating into Bluebird, Skyline and Fairlady Z.
All non-Nissanians will complain I over simplified the outcome of the 1971 Japanese Grand Prix a bit. Yes there are indeed other cars (like the Mazda RX-2) but that’s what the main field and winners looked like: a dominating Nissan. Only later that year the Mazda RX-3s broke the winning victory streak of those menacing Skylines…
