Time we had pictures of everyones Japanese wagons
Discussion
Hi, and tbh I have no idea how, being into cars for so long, I've not posted on PH before. Anyway, I'm a long-time Jap import fan and I'm on my third now.
So, in chronological order (don't worry, this won't be a long post!):
Bought my first Skyline in 2002, a 1994 series 1 GTST:
2004 and I added some aero. Very pleased with my fitting and spraying etc. (all done in a barn):
2010, Skyline no.1 had unfortunately succumbed to rust back in 2007 and sat unloved in a workshop until it became a donor vehicle for Skyline no.2; this identical '96 rolling shell I bought for £500:
2011 Skyline no.2 is on the road:
(yes, that's a GTS badge
)
2016. By this time I'd got the sports car thing out of my system. I was bored with every polo/corsa wanting to race me so decided on some quiet, comfortable (and equally uneconomical) luxury in the form of this 2003 Nissan Elgrand E51 Rider. Eight seats, full leather, electric everything, this bus is awesome with it's VQ35DE engine:
(the rusty green K11 Micra is the daughter's now and doesn't warrant a picture, however, it's probably the best £350 I've ever spent!)

Do you not get any tax concessions for LPG over there?In the last year and just over 20k we haven't had any real problems at all, (With the exception of a lambda sensor) Brilliant machines and so well screwed together.
Hi All,
Enjoyed looking through these cars. Some really nice pics.
Newbie but long time Japanese car lover here. (Mainly Toyotas - Sera and Trueno in the past)
Currently restoring a pair of 1980s Toyota Celica 2.0 GTs - thought you guys may like to see.
One is a coupe, and one is a convertible... The coupe is pretty much there and is on the road... the rag top needs a bit of work but it is hilariously old school!
