Car for sale: Hasemi Skyline replica

July 12, 2011

Can’t help but think: one drive around the block here in NZ and that front spoiler’s gonna break off…

Looks like a lot of time and effort went into reproducing the Silhouette kit, and the price tag reflects that. The rims aren’t exactly right and it may not be running a LZ20B under the bonnet, but there’s more than enough cool bits attached to the FJ20 to make it sound like it could be pretty fun!

Yours for a cool 2.5 million yen.

I don't even think I could get it into my driveway.

With Ewan bringing in another container shortly I’ve been looking on YAJ much more frequently and given that, I figured I might as well compose a bit of a dream list setup of parts I would love to get if I had the money.

I’ve just had word from Ewan @ hayatonka.com that they’re planning on shipping another 20ft Container over around mid-August. If you’re after something large-ish or simply a lot of stuff, NOW is the time to order to make sure you get some space in said container. I know there’s a few things I’m dead keen on.

If you don’t know how to purchase from Ewan there’s a few options, you can either email him directly via his www.hayatonka.com website for a run-down on the procedure or you could look through this post here which help explain the process from the buyers perspective (eg. me);

‘Want to buy from YAJ? Here’s how.’

If there’s still anything you need to know after reading that or corresponding with Ewan via e-mail, just ask and I’ll try help you out.

Cars For Sale; EX GT-300 S13 Silvia

Not really retro or classic but I have huge love for the S13 Silvia and whilst browsing what was available ex-Japan (cheaper than the ridiculous prices locals ask for their cars) I stumbled upon this old track warrior;

GT-300 Class awesomeness.

How freakin’ cool would it be to own this? If my poor translation of the text is to be believed, for reasons unknown it’s FJ20-powered ex-DR30. It also triggers memories of modifying cars to “Race-spec” on Gran Turismo and ending up with this exact wide-body setup. Love it.

It could be yours too, for a cool 2,500,000JPY

: It means business.

My brief attempt to find any photos of it racing resulted in massive doses of fail. I did find a tiny photo that showed the NISMO Calsonic 32 leading a different S13 around a corner but that’s about it asides from a diecast with this wide-body. If anyone has any luck with GT-300 photographs showing one of these kitted 13′s or this particular one racing, let me know! In the meantime, here’s the auction…
