Car of the Week: J-Tin again

So, what car is it this week? Well, first of all, its never just one. After dropping in on Solid Autoworks with Deano my WRX owning work buddy, I picked up a JDMLegends.com biz card. This is a new shop in North Salt Lake who can import Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars. The owner is Trey Cobb, founder of Cobb Tuning. So, I've been on a vintage Japanese car kick, you know, Skyline GT-R, Datsun 510, Toyota Corollas...Here's some cool classic 1970's - 80's Japanese "hot rods".

These pics are a mix from MotorMavens.com, JDMLegends.com and the recent HellaFlush III meet in SF.

Back in the Jap Day! Skyline GT-R "OG"

This is an awesome video of a Hakosuka Nissan Skyline GT-R that owned the GT races in the 70's. Gotta love that inline 6 cylinder singing its song. Just watch and listen and learn! :) ha ha Sorry, I'm cheesy but this stuff gives me goose bumps ala P51D's Rolls Royce V12.

R34 Skyline GT-R "Top Secret" Plastic model

I just finished putting this killer model together tonight. It was a birthday present. I just had to have a Skyline in my plastic garage. This one came molded in the gold metal flake, I just added the "carbon fiber" hood and trunk. I'm diggin' the Volk Racing TE-37's and cf rear diffuser for those 200mph runs. :) Enjoy!
