Hello Speedhunters my name is Mathieu van den Oever and I am from Utrecht in The Netherlands. After I had stopped skateboarding due to injuries, my love for racing and drifting took over and it has not stopped since. Things got even worse after my first trip to Japan where I got introduced to cars and products I could only dream of before....

I hope you guys enjoyed Skyline Week on Speedhunters and found it to be a somewhat eye opening experience. I had a sense that the Skyline community was a global massive, but seeing all of the reader's rides submissions has deepened my understanding of this international scene. One key cultural flashpoint for all things GT-R related is the UK -someone once told me there are now more GT-Rs in the UK than in Japan itself! It's a statement which very much could be true given the strength of this...

Hello Speedhunters! As Skyline Week comes to a close we have for you a small, but nonetheless beautiful, selection of R35s, G35s and a G37. Thanks to everyone who sent in their photos....

This R35 has undergone minimal modifications but has maximum presence. The car looks almost stock, but those small touches like the Hasemi carbon frontlip and and sideskirt (can I call it that?) make it stand out. After seeing this car I feel that a nice drop can make any car look good. The drop has been achieved with a Esprit Quantum coil over set. It's cool to see that the owner still maintained the original wheels, although he did use spacers to push the wheels out a bit more. Recognize the...

Well it's Friday, the last day of Skyline Week. Have you guys had enough yet? To finish off my journey through the Speedhunters archives, I've assembled a gallery highlighting some of the late model Skylines and GT-R's featured on the site. I've included V35 and V36 chassis cars, as well as the R35 GT-R....

After the R32s and the R33s it's now time for the R34, my favorite model. Once again I wanted to start with one of my personal favorites. I know that the R34 has been made with one thing in mind, performance. But these chrome Work Meister S1 wheels looks so good on this white R34. The black accents like the wingstays and the carbon spoiler on the trunk really make it pop. These wheels look huge from this angle. So maybe it's not the best performing car with these wheels but there is no denying...

For my final trip through the Speedhunters archive, I've gathered a selection of R34 Skylines of all types. There was A LOT to choose from, but I think I've assembled a pretty nice spectrum of cars here.
Here they come -...

You are looking at one of the most far out GT-R time attack projects ever created. It cost a massive $350,000 to build and has yet to see the light of day on a race track. It all started back in 2006 when Hiroya-san, a very good customer of Garage Ito in Osaka, decided to see if he could challenge the lap time record at Tsukuba set by the HKS CT230R. Hiroya-san is a very successful business man, and with his company pretty much taking care of itself he decided to dedicate some more time to his passion...

Alright Speedhunters, here we have the R33 submissions for Skyline Week. Tomorrow will be the R34s and the day after will be R35s, G35s and G37s. We have to say that we need some more submissions for these two posts... only one R35 sent in so far. So get your camera out, call your friends who own these vehicles, have some fun with it - we'd love to see your machines... :)...

To kick off the March 3rd R33 celebrations I have picked one car that I will forever remember for scaring me silly. It all started with one of those phone calls I often get from Miguel at Newera Imports . Sourcing cars for export means Miguel often gets his hands on some pretty cool rides, but this car was something else. Don't let the 400R graphics on the side fool, you this is not one of the 33 authentic 400Rs that were built, but something dare I say more special. Miguel let me have the car...

After the disappointment of not finding any cars at Daikoku Parking Area on Monday night (3-1) I was beginning to get the same feeling last night. I headed to the famed highway truck stop nice and early and again, there weren't any R32s to be seen. I thought then and there that this Skyline week wasn't as special as we had anticipated so I went into one of the small restaurants on the premises and cheered myself up with a steaming bowl of Daikoku Ramen (yes it's actually called that!...

So it's March 2nd (over here in California at least), and that means we are celebrating the R32 Skyline today. As I did with the Hakosuka and Kenmeri, I've taken a dig through the Speedhunters Archives, and came up with a sampling of interesting R32's featured on the site over the years. I'm there sure there are some I've missed (we've featured countless R32's here), but here we go......

For the true Skyline connoisseur there is one model that has for years been enjoying legendary status. It isn't the Nismo 400R or even the Z-tune but a car that was conceived well before these. Back in the early nineties HKS decided to do what RUF in Germany was doing with Porsches, and started to create a high-performance bespoke version of the BNR32, the Zero-R. The idea was to inject the tuning knowhow HKS had accumulated after years of tuning the RB26 and help the GT-R achieve its fullest...

With Skyline week now under way, we figured it'd be cool to start off with some classic Skyline "Best of" galleries. To start off, here's a selection of Hakoskua shots gathered from the Speedhunters archive. Enjoy!...

In Japan there is one shop to go if you need something done to your R31 Skyline. They are called R31house and are able to turn any R31 into a true circuit racer. R31house also offer lots of track days for their customers as can been seen in the following pictures. A R31 saloon never looked this good. A set of gold BBS wheels, race inspired interior and some mild body modifications really sets this car off. The car is just waiting for the owner to take it for a spin at the Fuji Speedway. With its...

Hello Sepeedhunters! My name is Samui Salokangas and I wanted to show you all my ongoing project which I've named "Skysuka." “Skysuka” is a tribute to Nissan Skyline racing history and the theme consists of two-tone retro-style paint with gold pinstripes and KGC10 Hakosuka-style racing graphics. It also has a few Ken & Mary logos and umbrellas as well. The number 46 on the front and sides comes from the car's year model, ´92 divided by two. Flat black, shiny...
