For the love of J-tin
 

Here ya go Emjay.

Here a 2 of the finest pieces of J-tin ever.
While in Japan in 2005 and 2007 I quested to spot either one of these stunning vintage GT’s

A 1973 Nissan Skyline GT-R

I saw a grey metallic ’73, camera in bag. Grrrrr.
Looked and sounded unbelievable.

A more accessable Japanese classic.
The Datsun/Nissan 510/Bluebird 1800ss

Beautifully preped and tuned.

And one of the 5 sweetest car bodies ever made.

Yeah, that's the one I could run off with. Nearly bought a 240Z in 1990, got an Audi GT instead, but there was one knocking around here in dark metallic blue with a 5.7litre small block V8 in it... Oh, and wolfrace wheels... Stunning car.

apart from the obvious 240/260z, the Toyota Celica TA22 does a little something for me!

ooohh what a thread to wake up to, 70's Japanese pornography at it's best :arf::arf:

Your welcome. :tup:
Love the 1973 Skyline, pretty much a one year only design, and a wild synthesis of muscle and compact sports sedan.

Shows my knowledge of J cars!! I didn't know there was such a thing as a GT-R prior to the R33 version!!:o

one of my faves

That is stunning Coxy, what is it?

Toyota....or Mazda me thinks...more likely Toyboata!

Hey Coxy...you've virtually owned a Shamal haven't you??
I know you had a BI Turbus,but didnt you have a red Maser after that...A Ghibli???

:confused:

I adore the Toyota 2000GT Coxy.
I hated that they made it into a convertible for 007 "You only live twice"

There a Shelby Motorsports (top-secret at the time, actually chasis # one) preped one about 2 1/2 hours from me I've been planning to visit.

yup, had a Shamal for 18 months after waiting/saving 7 years for one.

Just found this for Coxy 1977 RA28. Fully Restored

Bit of an old shitter,but is pretty original and has been constantly on the road since new this one!

I liked them in Yellow with the black vinyl roof myself,oh...and with Auto Trans..

Groompa

we followed that little baby in on our very first BC up the M54. We knew we were in for a great event when we saw it and we were indeed. Not seen it for a while though

how can a car look so damm sexy, thats a nice piece of ass :arf::arf:

That is a later 70's Nissan Skyline Groomus , they were feeling the fuel crunch too.

That's kind of a beast Coxy. Here it was a Corolla I think.

Here's one I saw in Narita in 2007, slightly tweeked, but vintage styling.

I feel dirty sometmes when I look at cars, is that so wrong?

Brought these pics over from the "Arse" thread.

Silver is not my favorite 510 color but this minimalist treatment here is stunning.

Yyyep,Mum had one of these SSS in Metallic Turquoise.The colour you mean is Ice Blue.We called it the Violet 160J SSS here...

Remember the dog leg gearbox and the "beeeeep-beeeeep-beeeeeep" Reverse Gear warning buzzer??:wall::D

Yes,twin carbs with a weak alloy head on an excellent iron block.
My Mum warped the head in 4 months....
RIP.... CPG 29T:nod:

I thought the BEEP,BEEP,was the dogs danglies.Very posh.:lol:

Recently came across this pic. Very cool 80's retro J-tin

1983 Nissan Skyline RS DR30 (tuned)

Unfortunately I could never afford and early 70's Skyline or a Laurel SGX coupe so I bought this.
