Remembering Japanese cars from the past
I really liked the video of this serious Skyline DR30 track car:
Perhaps it has to do with the color (blue instead of the obvious two tone red/black) but also that the owner is actually a grip driver and not a drifter…

Now this is something different: a Nissan Skyline DR30 with a huge american influence. Maybe better to referred as the Skyline Trans Am:
Nissan Skyline Trans Am
You can clearly see the nose is a copy of the 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.
The big question remains: what were they thinking:
Nissan Skyline Trans Am
Lots and lots of scoops, wings and other stuff. It almost feels like a riced out Firebird… But the only thing is that it isn’t a Pontiac…

This cute little girl uses her daddies new four door Skyline RS-Turbo to cling on while doing her first steps outside in 1984:

Definitely something to keep in your family album!

A very different way of using a Nissan Skyline GT-S, especially if they are painted in this blue color! Somehow i kind of dig the Oman rodeo style!
Even though the video states it is a R31, it really is a R30.
I was a bit shocked when I spotted this zenki four door Nissan Skyline RS-Turbo DR30 rustoseum:

How can you leave such a great car rust away in a barn yard?
Judging from the camber on the rear wheels the rear springs were removed when somebody already scavenged it for parts.
Just as bad as the skyline, a Nissan Cherry X-1R:

The Cherry even still got its extemely expensive tail lights in place. It is a wonder nobody scavenged them yet! :o
What about some foreign rustoseums? A crusty second generation Chevrolet Camaro and an immaculate Renault 4:

Personally I would rather have seen the reverse of that…
Next time I’ll post up some rustoseums from The Netherlands I found earlier this week.
Well actually it looks like that, but IRL this Skyline DR30 lineup is not in Dubai or any other tropical place. They are parked next to an exclusive resort (??????) near Minamichita town in the Aichi Prefecture.
