There never was a Skyline R31 Super Silhouette in the Group 5 races, but if there had been one this R31 would have been close:

I managed to track down a part from the second Torakku Yaro movie called Bakus? Ichibanboshi where the trucks clearly show the same Skyline C110 tail lights as the one I posted yesterday:
At 3:12 you can see the truck with the flying fish on the outer right of the trio but you can see in the next scene the truck is completely different from the rear.
Still: just imagine the number of Skylines that had to be salvaged for this movie!

I do see more and more of these X-1R tail light swaps nowadays so could that mean someone in Japan found a buried treasure chest with unused stock of Cherry X-1R tail lights?

Or could it be that someone is reproducing them?
Also note that the rear door handles have been removed on this Yonmeri Skyline!
Amazing what you can do with a Kenmeri Skyline, Hakosuka Skyline, Fairlady Z, some photoshop skills and fooling around with different JDM styles:
I especially love the Grand Champ Hello Bosozoku style!

Okay this sharknosed Skyline C110 is by far not as exciting as the roofchopped Mark II GX71 by Tijs Lochbaum, but it is cool that such a thing even gets sold commercially!

Headlights and taillights are working and for a mere 980 yen (12 dollar) it can be yours!
