WW Kick-off 2013: the ubiquitous Nissan Skylines

April 9, 2013 / / 0 Comments

I remember meetings where once a Nissan Skyline entered the place it immediately drew all attention because seeing one was so rare! Nowadays it is actually the opposite: nobody turns their heads anymore and “exotics” like a Silvia S15 tend to gather crowds of people.

It is actually a bit of a shame as this Skyline was rather interesting:

They are Lenso BSX (BBS knock offs).

First thing that got me surprised was the badge on the side of the CRX:

SOHC Vtec? Yes it exists and it’s D16Z6 is actually just as powerful as with a SOHC as the 16 valve 4AGE with DOHC! Pretty impressive!

Last but not least: a nice picture from the side of the car!
