Saw this today. One for the old school jap lovers!

[vet 180]

You never know we might see him at Nakayama or Central if we head out there next week.


Will do. It's on R171, the main road we took to go to Saizeria when you first arrived, that street where GT Net was the one with all the S15s for sale...

You know i am keen if you are!

So if i take the 120 to the 171 do i turn left or right?

[phat-turbo]

fuck me that bitch sounds angry (youtube) - are they all like this or was that kinda hypo race version?

[Shitbreak]

Thats a race version.

I now know what you'll be doing tomorrow if there's no work on...

Deposit was taken on that car today

...and im spent

a question for those who know stuff, can you tell its a real gtr and not a mockup without looking at the engine bay?

Only by really little things like the shape of the rain gutters. Easier to check the chassis number for a KP prefix

[Boxer]

20k is pretty cheap for a L series engined one. They fetched similar prices to R34's when R34's fetched 100k if I'm not mistaken (genuine S20 engined ones that is).

Yeah was L series, but not $20k - from memory it was mid to high 20's


phat-turbo - that is the s20 engined race bred car I believe. (twin cam head etc) The Lseries (more common) still sound horn when well built and tuned. The real deal twin cam castings were lost/broken/?, from memory of what bab's was saying, so no chance of getting new ones

Seriously Babalouie has done alot of teaching on Hako's in his build thread, I'm surprised some PF'ers unaware of them after all the pages and posts in his thread (and often in the 'new posts' page, as its a regularly updated thread)
Taught me heaps and made me a fan

+1. Heck I don't get into pre-1980 stuff at all but I'm a fan

As an aside, why the fuck is almost every building in japan either marble/granite or covered in those tiny white tiles? Drove me mad while i was over theree last but i was always too pissed or trying to look up short skirts to remember to ask anyone.

Not 100% sure but my father-in-law said it's easier to fix cracks in the walls caused by earthquakes. They just go around the building and chip off the broken tiles, patch up and replace.

They did that to the whole exterior of this hotel near where I live:

And I'm fucking spent - got a tissue handy?

roup A - looked like there was a GT TA22 in amongst the sea of Nissans - and was I imagining things but was there a Nissan 260C coupe (2:50)in that group as well?
