If Batman would have driven a Nissan Cedric 330 this is probably what it would have looked like:
I just love the sharknose slowly growing to hood fins and its side fins growing to a ducktail. Amazing how 80s styling can still be appealing! 🙂

I finally found a Cedric 330 with some swapped parts! This 330 has a set of Yonmeri Skyline C110 (or C111) tail lights mounted within a nicely fitting (almost C210 like) silver-grey panel.
The typically 80s spoiler is also a very nice touch!
Up front more work has been done, a pigsbutt Laurel C130 grille and some Celica A40 headlights have been swapped: (more…)

It took me some time to find a suitable picture to follow up the C110 tail lighted Celica RA28, but this Kenmeri Skyline with Cedric headlights will do nicely!

The Skyline was posted on the Aoyama Joker’s website as one of their cars. The vintage photo was taken in the early 80s and had a, common for cars of that era, two tone painting applied. Normally I would not think two tone pink/silver would actually look nice, but I’d say this is an exception to the rule. 😛

Not a very recent meeting, but nevertheless a very special meeting: this video was shot in 1986 (Showa 61) and gives a good insight in the taste they had back in the 80s!
You can mostly see old Laurels C130, Skyline C10s and C110s, Fairlady 240Zs and occasionally a bit more modern zokusha like the RX7 SA22. 🙂
In this second video the crowd gets a small visit by the police:
And in the final part involves a lot of window sitting and flag waving:
