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
Note - To kick off "Skyline Week", here's a repost of a retrospective I did during Nissan Month in November '08. The Skyline is one of Japan's longest running car models and Nissan celebrated the 50th anniversary of the car in 2007. 50+ years is a long time for ANY car model, especially a Japanese one. Actually, to say "Nissan
Reader Andy Gallagher sent us a photo of his '73 Datsun 1200 sedan done in a clean Japanese-inspired street style. Andy's outfitted the little Nissan with a pair of fender mirrors, a front chin spoiler, and a proper set of vintage wheels (Equips?). Under the hood is a Z18ET, and he's also upgraded the brakes and rear diff to handle the extra
Hi Speedhunters! My name is Mike Reyes and I'm located out in Glendale, CA. This is "Butch", my 1973 Datsun 240Z. Butch is truly an interesting character. His retro Datsun brown color and his near mint condition allows him to stand out from the crowd. Another unique characteristic that Butch sports is his low-toned engine grumble. But
Thought I'd follow up the gasser Plymouth with another slightly lower wagon of the same vintage built on the other side of the world. This '67 Datsun 411SSS is Mark Arcenal's latest project, and if it's anything like his other projects it should be one hell of a car when it's done. The vintage Datsun is under construction right now
In fitting with our celebration of the Nissan S-Chassis, here's a repost of a story I did back in November '08. And now for a look at the history of another one of Nissan's most famous cars, the Silvia and its sister-models. I'm sure when most of you hear "Silvia", you probably picture a tuned S13 or S15 blasting through a
I'm really missing Japan right now. I plugged in my external hard drive a bit ago to hunt for some lowdown car pictures and the memories came flooding back. Memories of Watanabes, SSR's, Solex carbs, and musical horns. We thought you guys might be getting a little tired of the late model flushed out cars we've been showing this month, and
Just because you guys asked for it, I've collected some more shots of the cars at the Nurburgring Nordeschleife parking lot. This is the area where people wait, before entering the track for public hotlapping. The first car is this Alfa Romeo 147 with Sportec wheels that looks spot on. I noticed that there were several Alfa's but they were older
As you are reading this I'll likely be making my way up to Monterey for the weekend's American LeMans race at Laguna Seca. In the meantime - here's some more JCCS photos to enjoy! Up above we can see a few of the Hakosuka Skylines at the event, including a two-door wearing US military tags from Okinawa (evidenced by the "Y" on
Alright let's jump right into more coverage from the the Fifth Annual Japanese Classic Car Show in Irvine. Up above, you can catch a glimpse of a small sampling of the Datsun 510's that made it out. Whether you are into period correct restos, or more contemporary tuning, there were enough "five and dimes" at JCCS to to fit any taste
