C110 in Use

No, not mine.  Sadly. However, recent postings by brocky41 of both datsun.co.nz and oldschool.co.nz fame, have brought forth video of a certain KHGC110 that races in the North Island.  I’d seen the car on trademe initially, a few years back, just as a road car.  Subsequently I saw a few pictures of it via Snoozin [...]

A Prince of a Deal

Those that check here frequently will notice the post before this one (by Orion) that shows an S21 Prince Skyline Super, on trademe.co.nz. It’s in worse, though more complete condition than mine. The interesting part however is that it’s the very same one that I was made aware of by Ed (RatDat) and subsequently made [...]

Holy hell, is this guy 4realz?

spotted on Trademe: one 1962 S21 Skyline Super (much like Michael’s one, except in somewhat tattier condition)… dead engine, dead rego, rust for Africa, and all for $12,000? Daaaaaaamn. Would they even be worth this much in restored condition? Check out the other cars in the background too!

Cortinas; the best ones are a Nightmare.

Having not stumbled through the projects on retro-rides.org for a while I decided to do so today, in aid of finding something worth of biffing up on here for everyone to admire in all it’s greatness.  As is usually the case with RR, to find such an example did not take long at all.  There’s [...]

Hayatonka, Exporter of Goodness!

So, as was expected, my second package from Japan arrived (actually it arrived yesterday but let’s not be picky, I posted this entry a day late) in the same 3-day time frame that the first one took.  Though this time I was at home to receive it, at 11:20am.  Even the Courier was surprised it [...]

The “Do Want” files, case #45674

It’s KHR31 heaven this week on Goo. The R31 Skyline packed on the pounds and shed a lot of the raw edge that made its predecessor the R30 such a thrill to drive – making it more subdued and quite possibly the black sheep of the ‘modern’ era of Skyline – but it made up [...]

Cars For Sale

Initially when I put my S12 up for sale, I pondered putting it on here.  I didn’t really see too much point and so decided against it.  More likely than not, most that read this are far from my tiny hometown of Invercargill, NZ and being it’s at the bottom of the South Island, not [...]

Old in New

I was going to provide a video link for today’s entry, showing something cool from YouTube that I hadn’t found yet.  I then discovered that Broccoli from oldschool.co.nz had already discovered something that I thought was sweetly epic so I figured I’ll just roll with that. I have seen before, on auction an R32 Skyline [...]

Want to buy from YAJ? Here’s How.

Having recently gone through this myself, I thought I would share the simple process with you all so you feel less worried by it or rather can just understand the simplicity of it all and realise there’s little to lose and much more to be gained. If you’re like me, you would have spent ages [...]

2009 ‘Exciting Car Show’ – Japan.

OK, so not all these pictures are of a retro nature and on top of that, they’re not a massive resolution but what they do show is another viewpoint taken by the non-professionally mannered photographers, a different angle on some of the cars we’ve already seen at this show via other websites such as noriyaro.com [...]
