Video: Shakotan Boogie opening
Earlier we posted the ending scene of the Shakotan Boogie movie and now I also found the opening scene on Youtube! So enjoy the first five minutes of this iconic 80s movie:
Note the big height difference between the Soarer and the Mercedes! The roof of the Soarer is sitting almost on the same height as the dashboard of the Mercedes! 😉
How deep is your dish?
And now for something completely different: an original 80s Work Equip advertisement!

As you can see the Work Equip 01 looks as great on a 4 lugnut Fairlady Z S30 as on a 5 lugnut Pontiac Firebird Trans Am!

I got an email from Okumi that his 240Z S30 is a feature in the Thai Option Magazine this month!
Okumi’s 240Z S30 in Option Magazine!
He shared with us the feature and sent us the images of it!
Pages three and four:

I kept the pages in (relatively) low res because the feature is currently (still) on sale in Thailand. So if you are lucky enough to get an issue from Thailand, please send another one to us! 😉
Wallpaper Wednesday
If you can’t get enough of the Liberty Walk wallpapers we posted before, how about this G-nose Fairlady Z?

Bosozoku car feature: Okumis Nissan 240Z
Okumi from Thailand sent me the pictures of his Thai zokusha: a 1972 Nissan 240Z!

He owns the Z for seven years now and he is slowly turning it into a genuine zokusha!

This (and previous) picture was taken at the Bangsan Classic Automobile Festival, held on the 27th of february, showing his latest addition: a new sky tailpipe!
Looking at the immaculate cars in the background it sure must have given quite a shock for the other attendees! 😉

Okumi also uses his 240Z for the occasional trackday, so it is not only meant to look good but also meant to act right on the circuit!

Apart from the sky exhaust pipe the 240Z was given an oilcooler, police lights behind the grille, fender extenders and a set of 14 inch SSR mk2s!
Unfortunately this is as low as he can go: the Thai roads are not as flat as the Japanese, lot’s of bumps and potholes! It doesn’t matter: the car looks already great!

And this is the proud man himself!
Great car, Okumi! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
