Picture of the week: Pigsbutt and Japan
I was doubting if I should post this picture under part swaps or as a picture of the week. Because of the butaketsu Laurel SGX parked in front of the Skyline Japan it became the latter…
Yesterday I already featured a very nice scale model buildup of a pigsbutt Laurel SGX but in real life it looks much better, especially if it also features a Hiro spoiler on the boot lid. The Skyline features a set of (badly copied) Celica banana tail lights. (‘A`)?
Also if I’m not mistaken these two cars are the two main cars of Ultra Heaven.

Not only are these 14 inch 12J wide SSR Mk IIs very nice to look at, also the four door Laurel C130 and two four door Skyline C110s in the background are equally nice to look at:
Deep dish SSR Mk II 12J
The title of the Auctions Yahoo ad says they are family car rims! Can’t agree more with that!
The offset is ET-54, so that’s pretty deep dish!
Deep dish SSR Mk II 12J
According to the seller they don’t have any corrosion, but one of them has a minor dent in them:
Deep dish SSR Mk II 12J
It can be fixed if you actually weld it, but that’s only a minor thing for its low buymenow-price of 95,000 yen (1,140 US dollars).
You can buy it on Auctions Yahoo:

Meeting Monday
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:

To keep in the same spirits as the artwork posted yesterday, a butaketsu Nissan Laurel C130:

I love this Nissan Skyline Japan by team Teikouren, so why not share it as wallpaper?
