Remembering Japanese cars from the past
I just love the composition of this picture: the Mooneyes logo on the truck is watching this four door Nissan Skyline RS-Turbo DR30!
I’m watching you: Nissan Skyline DR30
Yes, the RS-Turbo isn’t Moon Equipped and sits on a set of Formula Meshes… It is just as if the logo was saying: I’m watching you! You’re not even Moon Equipped! :D
Found in the JCCA NYM 2010 meeting pictures of Life doodling.
Yes, it is indeed a painful (pun intended) sight to see a Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10 this way:
Most painful Itasha ever: Nissan Skyline KPGC10
I don’t think it will get the title of the most expensive itasha ever since I’ve seen several Ferrari and Lamborghini covered completely with anime vinyls.
On the other hand Haruhi blends perfectly in with the blue periodically correct racing stripes:
Most painful Itasha ever: Nissan Skyline KPGC10
So even though it may be painful it is also done with great taste! ;)

I found an early 70s short documentary about the development of the Nissan Skyline C110! It starts with the the C110 development, then moves to manufacturing of a C110 and then comparing a C110 to previous generations around 2:00 with a four-split screen.
The only touges we saw in the past were nicely paved mountain passes with screaming twin cams drifting in a downhill battle. Nice to see there were actually rough touges in the 70s!
The end of the first and second video continue on the design and crash testing of the Skyline C110:
The test track is, of course, the Oppama Grandrive. Funny to see they already covered the looks of the testcars/prototypes with black cloth as well back then! And just when you think everything is going well they show the C110 Skyline crash test! What’s even more heartbreaking are all those crashed C110s piled up with foliage growing through them.
I must say this is one of the nicest vintage videos I’ve seen in ages!
Time for some more Japanese rustoseums? This time they were shot by RA64Freddy:
Nissan Skyline DR30 in a frozen mudfield
This Skyline looks a bit lonely in that frozen mudfield. Who would leave such a nice four door sedan in the mid of a muddy field?
Toyota Sprinter AE70 2 door hardtop
What about this Sprinter 2 door hardtop then? According to RA64Freddy it is a 1500cc 3A-U engined car, so the AE70 designation should be correct for this beauty!
Need car guidance on your Nissan Skyline R31?
This lovely lady can surely help you out with her Caribbean background music! ;)
Another video was posted upon that beautiful Skyline van!
Last time I was wrong: the chassis code is VC10 instead of GC10!
The owner asks in the description of the video if anyone has a VC10 outside Japan. So if you have one, head over here to send him your footage!
