by banpei with 1 commentAuctions: Grachan Falken GX71
Last weekend Tommy J. sent me a link to a auction on Yahoo Auctions where this great Yonmeri zokusha was for sale:
Nissan Skyline C110 #2
Asking price was a mere 1,200,000 yen (13000 dollar) and I wanted to post it here today since Speedhunters is doing a Skyline special this week.
Unfortunately the auction ended yesterday and I was able to post it up on bosozoku style. Meaning the images had gone as well and I was unable to include them here.
To make it up to you I looked up another zokusha on Auctions Yahoo:
Grachan Falken GX71
There were no other Skyline zokushas to be found on Auctions Yahoo, so you have to do it with this Toyota Mark II GX71. But this GX71 is really something! It has got it all!
Grachan Falken GX71
Huge lip, oil cooler, hood fins, wide front fenders, boxy rear fenders, roof spoiler, boot spoiler…
Grachan Falken GX71
… quad exhaust pipes, taillight swap and whatever we missed in this sum up! 😀
Auction of this grachan can be found here: Grachan Falken Mark II GX71
Terribly sorry we were unable to post Tommy J.’s Yonmeri Skyline today. It was a far better looking zokusha than the grachan above…
by banpei with 1 commentMeeting monday
We did show some meeting videos before, but this is a real (wild) meeting:
Take4Mickey took these six short videos at Nagashima 2010.
What’s a meeting without some Japanese cops trying to disperse the zokushas!
The videos look great because they were taken at night during wintertime: the clouds of exhaust gasses coming out of those sky high exhausts make it something special!
This video reminds me of a song by Cake:
So this long line of cars
will never have an end
And this long line of cars
Keeps coming around the bend
If you watch carfully you will notice a lot of already well known zokushas, like the yellow Skyline Japan at 0:57, or the Cedric 330 at 1:24.
And in this video a Shakotan Boogie replica at 1:20 and a lot of GX-es, C31s, C32 and Y31s!
Hot or not: zig zag sharknose soarer
As I said last week, we are continuing the poll with some new stuff: hot or not! It can’t be simpler than this: basically you just vote if you like this picture/zokusha or not.
Also new is that we now can add the poll directly to the posting, so the poll is at the bottom of this post and not in the separate poll anymore! 🙂
So this week we will start with the zig zag sharknose Soarer we posted in the exhausts yesterday:
Zig Zag sharknose Soarer
So, hot or not?
Exhaust of the week: zig zag sharknose soarer
Another one from the same source as last week:

That zig zag exhausts blend in really nicely with the huge spoiler!
