Did any of you watch the F1 race today? I'm a bit irritated to be honest, as I think the new "no refueling" rules have really spoiled the show and made F1 even more processional than it already was. Ergh DISAPOINTED!!!... Anyway moving on, I wanted to share some photos with you that I took a few weeks back in the UK. All of you now know that the Top Secret Drag R II Skyline R33 is alive and well in the UK with its current caretakers: G Man and the Skyline specialist shop: TR Racing...

It's not often that a team opens up their doors to the general public, and certainly not with the open arms that greeted people at the Sumo Power open day down in a surprisingly sunny Rye on the south coast of England. The entire factory was completely accessible and the whole range of JR Motorsport and Sumo Power's activities on display, with helpful staff able to talk through everything from CNC machining to the chassis dyno and, of course, the new Nissan GT-R GT1 World Championship weapons...

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....

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...

Here we go with my next round, but this time with some R33 love. I will tell you that I'm not the biggest fan of the R33 because of the bulky looks, but with some minor modifications I can enjoy them from time to time. Let's have a look at what Global Auto has to offer. White seems to be a popular choice with the Japanese R33 owners, or maybe not because they are all selling their precious metal. This first one has a JUN front bumper and Nismo sideskirts. Wheels are SSR Professors with some...

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!...

It may be day late, but this R31 is worth the delay. Ken lives in Okinawa and sent us a photo of his R31, which just happens to be his first car. Over 14 years of ownership, Ken has swapped in an RB26 (with a T88 turbine), S15 and R33 suspension, and R32 GT-R brakes just to name a few things. Outside it has R31 House FRP trunk and hood, a Racing Silhouette aero kit, and bolt-on over fenders. Ken uses the car as his daily driver and for the occasional drag race event. Awesome. -Mike Garrett...

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......

Here's the second part of my Skyline retrospective from November '08. Now we will continue our look back at the history of the Nissan Skyline from where we left off yesterday, with the R30 chassis. The R30 was released in 1981 and moved towards a more modern design than the C210 model. The coupe versions in particular were very good looking cars with a sleek, stretched out look. In Japan the R30 Skyline TV commercials featured legendary actor and driver Paul Newman, and there was even a special "Paul Newman version" of the car sold in Japan.The example in the photo above is the 1981 2000GT-ES coupe model, which was powered by the turbocharged L20ET engine. ...

Now to continue our classic Skyline love affair with a sampling of C110, or "Kenmeri" Skylines from the Speedhunters archive. The slightly newer Kenmeris might not have quite the iconic status of the Hakosuka, but they are no less sexy....
