ヨンメリ GC111

Browsing YAJ always acheives fantastic results, some attainable others not.  Though generally the sedan is not my thing, who could resist driving about in this well modded Yonmeri.  It’s got all the appropriate additions to be included in the bosozoku/garuchan crowds. Of course, being they are modifications in such a manner, they certainly do not [...]

C110 Progress

Can you imagine?! Forced heart surgery, the 5spd attached to the back of the L24 came out of my brother’s old 280ZX (S130) and the gearbox in his 240Z (s30) is giving him grief so I had to quickly remove the box from my car to aid his.  So at the same time, I figured [...]

It’s the simple things, like push-rods…

A lot of the time it’s only the minor things done to a car that make all the difference.  The staple diet of almost any vehicle is a healthy amount of lowering to improve road holding abilities as well as the right wheel and tire selection appropriate for the vehicle.

Skyline Dreaming

I got a txt today from a friend to tell me that he’d procured for me a Prince Skyway Parts Manual.  Stoked.  This led onto thoughts about my poor Prince Skyline sitting in the shed being neglected… One day… C110 first, I’ve had it longer. -Michael

Nissan – Feel the Spirit

I forget where I got these photos from, other than the internet somewhere in one of my many various voyages of automotive discovery. If you know where they’re from, I’ll gladly make reference to them so they can receive the credit. I should be more vigilant in my voyages really. Ah well. Anyway, here’s a [...]

Uber random garage find: ’81 DR30 Skyline RS sedan

…it’s almost like a barn find, but not quite. The background: my friend’s father (who’s a bit of a tinkerer) recently did a bit of maintenance work on a vehicle for a lady he knew, and she happened to mention that it was probably time for her to retire said vehicle in order to get [...]

Opel Awesomeness (Cheers RR)

Just found this posted up on retro-rides.org and had to share it with you all; Bad. Ass. -Michael

YouTube recommends…

Thanks YouTube; Who needs to search for anything yourself when you just log in and it suggests stuff for you. Lazy surfing = lazy blog posting. I probably shouldn’t do it, but it’s Friday, that’s my excuse. -Michael

Buy some cars from trademe.co.nz

2006 Vero Vintage Car Rally, Pt. IV

Part IV of this brings it to an end, this final day involved the majority of the cars being parked in some sports grounds for the public to oggle at.  It was a good day, sadly I didn’t have the time to take photos of everything that was there but I did take as many [...]
