As much as I would like to, I don’t really have any plans to get alloys out of Japan for the H230 (260C/Cedric) seeing as it’s not an option I’m really considering for it whilst it’s in my possession, it is sometimes interesting to see what’s available. These few took my fancy. Remember, if you’re [...]
The Skyline contingent, they’re a popular car globally (now) though this is really only a recent thing when you compare it to the length of time that the Skyline range has been about (over 50 years, by the way.) In Japan however, the Skyline has been popular for as long as it’s been produced though [...]
Here’s a neat little video of Shaun’s new KHR31 Skyline being driven through the streets of Nagoya to the dropoff point at the container yard, where it will be sent on its merry way to NZ. This clip was thrown together by my friend Nik who took Ewan’s original 1GB (45 minute) file, edited it [...]
What car meet in Japan would be complete with the crew that carries on the bosozoku style? None. None is the answer to that question. As such, here’s a smattering of those mentioned that attended the Nagoya show. Enjoy their aesthetically offensive, racing car inspired awesomeness.
Thanks go out to Ewan (www.hayatonka.com) for many, many things. This time though it’s for taking a good whack of photos whilst he’s out and about at various events or otherwise. In this instance he took the recently acquired KHR31 GTS-X that he attained on behalf of Shaun (Mettler) after this atrocity to the Nagoya [...]
Whilst researching the possibility of another job, I have been spending some time looking up vans on YAJ (Yahoo! Auctions Japan) simply because the price in Japan, transport, bought and landed via Ewan @ HayaTonka.com is a lot cheaper than attempting to buy one locally from the car yards. Another thing I’ve noticed during the [...]
With the latest addition I mentioned the other day, my new rear spoiler, I am left with only a replica 110GT-R grille to get. My modified standard grille makes do for the time being but as with the previous rear spoiler, the differences between the actual look and something “close” are quite large. Given I [...]
So, I finally got around to getting the replacement boot/ducktail spoiler for my C110 from Yahoo! Auctions Japan (cheers Ewan! (http://www.hayatonka.com/)), not long before finding out that I need to get a new job. Probably for the better in that who the hell knows when I would have been able to afford it if [...]
During the blog downtime last week, I received a message in my inbox from a couple in Malaysia who had contacted me to show me their C110 Project, they had been given my email address by Ewan (hayatonka.com) whose contact details they had received by reading this entry “Want to buy from YAJ? Here’s How” [...]
Speaking of RS-Watanabe’s. Oh mai.
