The lovely Courier man dropped these off to me today. What could they be?? I’m at work so I’ll have to wait until tonight to open it up. Though I think you should be able to guess what they are…
Complete with hilarious play on my last name!
I bought them some time ago but lent them to a friend who was going to test fit them and replicate them for his own car but that didn’t pan out in the end. He’s since sold the car and so these have made their way home.

Speaking of RS-Watanabe’s.
15x12J
Oh mai.
So, you like RS-Watanabe’s and you own a classic Skyline or similar. Watanabe’s do command quite a premium and perhaps don’t have the same significance that these do;
Mmmm, 8-spoke.
If you’re too lazy to click it to find out more info, what you’re looking at is a 14x8J ’0′ offset Optional Wheel, presumably for use with the PGC10 you’ve just bought. Nice. A pair for 50,000JPY starting. Seems reasonable?

The weather in the morning was pretty decent so I got stuck into the C110 again, in the process I destroyed a drill. No big loss as it was under warranty, replacement drill already received. Anyway, before it died I managed to finish off the driver’s side door. The only disturbing part was the pathetic holes made for attaching the door mirror, which were even more ridiculous than on the passenger side, as you might remember;
Yep, all class.
With the door and sill on the driver’s side now done on the car itself, it just leaves the roof and the front scuttle. Then I’ll get onto the panel’s I’ve already removed, bonnet, boot, front fenders… Slow process, but shall prove rewarding upon completion. Looking forward to it.

Hirst (of oldjapanesecar.com fame) recently bought himself a rather amusing but entirely awesome because of it, C32 Nissan Laurel Taxi. No, not some attempted little novel conversion by someone outside of Japan but rather a genuine ex-Japan Taxi! Complete with fantastical meter, roof lamp and even remote door opener! Magic! Check it out;
1992 Nissan Laurel (C32)
You can forgive the early 90′s build date in that the beginning of manufacture was well 80′s. Continue for more pictures and the link to the project thread(s).
