No mention of the word Hakosuka!? <unless i missed it>

By feb 2012 i'll have mine imported over from Japan, can't wait!

This isn't the exact car, but very similar

Good man. I really think it might enlighten the PH massive, myself included as there sure ain't enough respect given to the Japs prior to the EVO's & Impreza's, bar maybe the 240Z.

Hi
Is it possible to import classic Japs or know if anyone is doing it?. I suppose it's a niche market, but being the owner of a piece of classic Japanese metal ('81 Lancer EX2000 Turbo) I'd love to see more classic stuff like this around.

Great vid

Cheers,

Good grief, all that retro Japanese hooning machinery has given my a stiffy this morning....

Highly enjoyable!

I hope you saw photos of the one you'll buy, BEFORE signing!

Gees, sounds like a Tent full of Midges on a damp camping holiday in Loch Lomond Scotland!

Fabulous! The car I mean, not the Midges.

TW bzzzzzzz!

What an incredible car, the exhaust note is absolutely heavenly. I wonder what they did to get it to sound like that, must be a product of a tuned manifold I'd assume.

I want one!

I guess its 3 x twin choke webbers, bunch of bananas manifold and some crazy cam timing. Brilliant! I love the way the ignition is spot on so there is absolutely no misfiring.

Fabulous video

If anyone fancies losing an hour or so...and potentially a fortune, this site always keeps me entertained:

O/T from the original content, but I'd kill for a RB powered 240Z...one day. One day.

That is one of the coolest cars I've ever seen.

Classy Japs are like Classy Yanks, rare, but all the sweeter for it. 240z for me, but lovin these Skylines. Look forward to seeing your old monster (did that sound a bit pervy ?).

What have you bought? KGC10 GT or GT-X, or KPGC10 GT-R?

[TankRS]

one of these is on my fantasy cars list, right behind the Mk1 Escort it slightly resembles

It did put me in mind of the 3 litre Apache Mk1 Escorts when there's a shot of the Skyline coming towards the camera at full chat. Different engine sound though as different configuration 6-cylinders

Excellent, my 2 year old has this one pictured and the skyline as little hotwheels cars!

My son has these two as Hot Wheels as well. A great video and thread, Best Motoring did some fantastic videos with Gan San still full of beans in each of them.

KPGC10 GT-R how rare are these things now, can't seem to find many for sale.

Wheelman I look forward to your article!!!!

Was it the car's last lap of Fuji Speedway, or his, or was it the last lap of it full stop?


That noise, , that is all.
