S-lammed, SLAMMED
Some of you may remember this Bug from such entries as “Lust for Rust” & “Lust for Rust; Update!” well, now it’s back and LOWER THAN EVER. (sure it wasn’t that low before but the whole buildup sounded cool) I don’t really think these pictures need many, if any, words so here they are. Click them for higher resolution. Enjoy! (more…)
You’ve seen it done before, it’s normally the domain of the C210 Skylines and Z10 Soarers, amongst many others. You certainly wouldn’t pick the more rounded ‘Muscle Car’ looks of the C110 to suit the shark-nose. You’d be wrong though, I think it looks awesome. I wouldn’t do it personally but I do not mind the look at all. Feast your eyes.
I'M A SHARK, I'M A SHARK, SUCK MY...
Angular, yet fitting.
Though not a fan of the new “NISSAN” badge the rest of the car is pretty sweet too. Let me know what you think… (more…)
I recently had a comment left on one of my Prince related entries by a chap in Greece who also owns a Gen. I, Prince Skyline. He was looking for a bit of information which I tried to assist him with, as well I could, but there’s a bit of a language barrier in addition to what seems to be a slight lacking in computer abilities on his part, meaning receiving pictures of his car to share with you all was proving difficult, eventually I managed to search via Google with various parameters to find a website where there were pictures of his car. It was at that point that I realised I’d already seen his car via emails from Steve (nzmax). Still, they’re impressive pictures given their background, amongst other things. So, without further ado, here they are;
1962 Prince Skyline in front of the Temple of Poseidon, Sounion
The car belongs to Ioannis Aristopoulis and is registered with FIVA (Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens) and used in Rallies, actually driven and not left sitting about. If you have any doubt as to how it gets driven I think this next picture should answer that… (more…)
Courtesy of young Alex (durty) on oldschool, RC presents a stack of photographs taken of some of the cars on display at the swap meet/car show. First and foremost is the oldschool.co.nz club display. A wide scope of vehicles that help prove the diversity of the people involved in the forum;
oldschool.co.nz Club Display
...and some more
Of course, the OS display was only a tiny part of it and there were many impressive vehicles scattered about the swap area and the show area, as always. I’ve chosen a select few here but you can check them all out in the gallery (linked at the bottom of the post)… (more…)
Legend(s). We’ll start with the 1st Gen. How often do you come across a Service/Shop Manual for the First Generation Prince Skyline and Skyway Sedans and Wagons? The answer, seldom. The joy of small-ish town mechanics, service manual libraries, as that’s often where the magic lies and knowing a young chap with a classic car addiction who works in one, can only prove beneficial. I received a txt today that my literature had arrived to be collected. I shot down to the place to get it straight away and came home, ripped it open and found this;

More on that in a little bit, my other recent acquisition is this;
Takara TOMY - Nissan Skyline KPGC110 RC Car
A little toy car that was brought to my attention by Lochlan, an oldschool.co.nz member who lives in Japan, he asked if I would be interested in one, which I most certainly was. I had completely forgotten about it when it arrived and I was well stoked. I bought some AAA’s on the way home from work and proceeded to terrorize my girlfriend’s cat with it. It was most amusing!
