Exhaust of the week: smoke like a chimney
This exhaust of the week is another fine piece of art:
This car probably smokes like a chimney
I have no clue what car this exactly is, but I suspect it is a Nissan Stanza T12. It is a bit hard to tell but the front wheel drive Nissan Bluebird (badged Stanza in Japan) has the same gills at the rear end. Anyone can confirm this?
Already found out:
It is a Nissan Leopard F30 sedan.
Bosozoku music
Not anything car related but I was looking for a video with bosozoku cars with high pitch revving. I did not succeed in finding that, however I did find this great video of a bosozoku member revving some tunes on his bike:
I couldn’t detect any known tune from that, but I surely think that he actually just played some well known Japanese rock and roll songs. 😉
How deep is your dish?
Remember the deep dish steelies I posted some time ago? Well, they are deep compared to these 15 inch 14J ET -74 steel rims I found on Auctions Yahoo!
Deep dish steel rims (15 inch 14J ET -74)
These rims don’t look that deep, eventhough they are more than double in width than the average rim on any car!
Deep dish steel rims (15 inch 14J ET -74)
Only 500 dollars and they are yours! Offset is 114.3×4, so they should fit on most older Japanese cars. They would even fit easily on my Toyota Carina or on any hachiroku! 😛
BTW: Nice car collection on the background! I see three 240K Skylines on the foreground and a Gloria (or Laurel) in the background.
Deep dish steel rims (15 inch 14J ET -74)
Tires are supposed to be 285/40 and look quite stretched. Amazing how round these tires become when stretched this much!
And who cares if stretched tires have less grip: 285 width stretched tires should give me more grip than my 185 unstretched tires! 😉

This video is a highway meeting of several former members of the Fukuoka team. They love to give a loud Bosozoku concert on the highway!
With a large tunnel concert as bonus:
Last weeks poll results
Last week we asked your opinion about the headlight covers. Clearly most people like the headlight covers even though they are from the 70s! I’d call it retro then. 😉
This week we ask your opinion about the width of the rims!
Very deep dish SSR Mk. II rims
How wide should the rims be on a Bosozoku styled car? 9J? 10J? 11J? 12J? Ridiculously wide?? Or even wider?
