Gloomy silhouette

This silhouette of a Super Silhouette inspired kaido racer looks a bit gloomy:

Judging from the headlights I guess it could be a Cresta GX71.

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:

Nissan Bluebird 910 Super Silhouette

Saturday, November 17th, 2012

Earlier this week I found a bunch of pictures of the Nissan Bluebird 910 Super Silhouette racer:

These pictures are quite scarce as the Bluebird was the least favorable race car of the Nissan Group 5 racers: the Hasemi Skyline and Hoshino Silvia drew all attention away from this magnificent car!

Here you can have a good view of that amazing LZ20B engine:

2 litres, a twin cam, 16 valves and a big ass turbo was all it took to produce 570hp!

Picture of the week: Super Silhouette replica

Tuesday, September 18th, 2012

Super Silhouette racer replicas have always been a major influence in the kaido racer scene. This rebuilt Silvia S12 is clearly not a 100% accurate replica but it will do the job just fine. ;)
Super Silhouette S12 replica
The big wedge shaped front air dam is a lot larger than the original and the roofline is obviously not S110 (the S12 Super Silhouette was actually the previous S110 with the S12 front face) but S12.
