Random picture: Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10
Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10 kaidou racer replica
Just realized we never posted any picture of a Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10 (aka the hakosuka). So, this random picture is actually not that random. 😉

I spotted these deep dish rims on auctions.yahoo.co.jp:
Deep dish SSR mk1 rims: 9.5J (front) and 11J (rear) wide
Even though they are not polished but finished flat matte at first glance these 13 inch rims look awesome! Especially with the nose of a Skyline Japan C210 on Hart Racing rims in the background. 😉
Deep dish SSR mk1 rims: 9.5J (front) and 11J (rear) wide
And with 9.5J at the front and 11J at the rear you can’t go wrong!
However the seller is a very honest man: he warns that these rims may look good, but in fact one of the rear rims is damaged at the hub opening (see picture above) and has cracks around the nuts and also one of the 9.5J front rims is not air tight. Of course the rims can be fixed, but that will cost you money as well.
Deep dish SSR mk1 rims: actually not that good as they appear to be…
Even though the seller says it is at bargain price at $1200 (compared to other 11J they are not really cheap!) it actually a may turn out to be buying a pig in a poke.
Popular Bosozoku cars: Nissan Fairlady S30 part 2
Some time ago we did a feature on the bosozoku style Nissan Fairlady Z S30. This week we feature a video with Daijiro Inada looking at the Nissan Fairlady Z S30 (and its successors) including a very nice bosozoku styled version of a Grand Champion Fairlady Z copy by Daisuke Shouten!
Part one:
Very funny to see Nomuken making the mistake of how to start a carburetted car: he wants to start the Fairlady by turning the ignition key. Lucky enough they show him how it is done properly. Funny enough: Daijiro Inada can’t drift, but surely he can start a carburetted car properly! 😀
Part two:
Note that this bosozoku styled Fairlady Z has the rear lights of a Skyline C210 Japan and a (badly fit) G-nose. In my opinions this is one of the best looking bosozoku styled Fairlady Zs I’ve seen so far!
by banpei with no comments yetMeeting monday
This weeks sudden death is all about Team Madonna’s creations, so why not show one of those on a meeting?
The meeting is the only one where they brought the Crown instead of the Cedric:
Always nice to see a couple of zokushas trying to beat the world record of doing simultaneous donuts!
Last weeks poll results
The Nissan Silvia Turbo replica in last weeks Sudden Death wasn’t really loved that much… Apparently the skyline is everyone’s favorite! Well, I must admit that my favorite was the Skyline as well.
