Bosozoku lifestyle: Pose with your zokusha

These members of the LawBreak Family are posing somewhere in the 80s with their roofchopped Nissan Skyline Japan C210:

Some people may think it is a shame to do such a thing to a Skyline Japan, but this is way back in the 80s when these cars were considered as outdated and still flogging the streets like R34s do nowadays...

Bosozoku lifestyle: almost real scale models

Now this picture really fooled me at first:
Almost real: sharknose C110 scale model
Almost real: sharknose C110 scale model

I thought it was the real deal: such a beautiful sharknose Skyline C110. It must have been the low res phonecam picture that hided the fact that it is a scale model. Too bad the big cars behind it gave it away.

From the real the car looks even better with the chromed bumper:

Bosozoku lifestyle: play with your RC zokusha

For the people too lazy to create their own RC zokushas Aoshima created two sharknose Skyline RC cars: a sharknosed C110 and a sharknosed C210, both available in two colors.

This is what the C210 looks like:
Aoshima Skyline C210 RC zokusha
Aoshima Skyline C210 RC zokusha

I must say I was impressed by the detail in this RC car: the rims are deep dish SSR Mk IIIs (on the C110 deep dish RS Watanabes can be found!), the headlights are nicely covered behind the sharknose, the lip is in square zokusha style and the rear spoiler has its lines continue in the bodywork! Nice! :)

Found through Japanese Nostalgic Car blog. The

Bosozoku lifestyle: watch Shakotan Boogie the Movie

86ers.org found this fantastic last 10 minute part of the Shakotan Boogie movie:

Amazing the amount of zokushas the movie is featuring!! I see lots of Skylines, Cedrics, Glorias, Bluebirds, Mark IIs, Chasers, Hondas and of course the Toyota Soarer MZ10! Especially the last Mark II MX30 is a beauty!

Spoilers: a shakotan car is not a great car for doing offroad. They also do another way of going sideways with the Soarer. And J-tin preservationists would certainly roll over in their grave when they see what happens to the KPGC10 GT-R! :D
