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
So much win in just this one picture, I'm speechless. -Jeroen Willemsen Spotted on the Kyushakai blog
I know how a lot of people that read Speedhunters appreciate vintage JDM machinery. And it's thanks to this site that I've also been able to dive deeper into the world of Japanese classic cars, expanding my knowledge and at the same time getting to see some stunning rides. Back when I visited TA Auto , Ando-san kindly had another Fairlady enthusiast
The aggressive, modern style aero and big wheels might not be everyone's taste, but I think Kei Paddock's NA SR20-powered 510 Bluebird project car is rad. Spotted the Fukuoka Custom Car Show in Feburary. -Mike Garrett
At the Streetpower Event on Zandvoort I met with some people I hadn't seen in a long time. One of them was Rik Boellen, he called me a few days before the event to tell me he recently picked up a very special machine. I think that everybody knows that I'm a big fan of the Skyline so when he told me he got hold of a Skyline C210 I was very anxious
For my fourth and final guest blog on Speedhunters, I thought I'd choose something a bit more personal than the rides I usually feature, my own 1969 Datsun 1600 (510). Since I run a blog that relies heavily on featuring other peoples possessions, it's nice to talk about my own project whenever I get the chance. It's not a technical 'build'
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
