Is this policecar a Crown or a Gloria?
Is it a Toyota Crown Policecar?
Some may already have seen a picture of this car on the posting Alexi of Nori Yaro made at the Daisuke Shouten photoshoot.
Read on for more pictures…
Or is it a Nissan Gloria policecar?
Here you can see how the car used to be in its full glory back in 2006 at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
No, it is both a Gloria and Crown policecar!
I think it is an excellent example of what Daisuke is capable of! We’ve seen several examples at his workshop photographed by Alexi of Nori Yaro and seeing this at the Tokyo Auto Salon meeting is an absolute sign of his geniality!

I found a video of the gathering of Bosozoku style car before and after the Tokyo Auto Saloon 2009:
Enjoy over 10 minutes of Bosozoky styled cars, loud raspy exhausts and expect to see some disrespect to the law!
Their taste of music is a bit weird IMO, but I reckon that would be possibly due to a lack of English or knowledge of the bands…
My personal favorite car is the 80s Nissan President at 8:30! What is your personal favorite bosozoku ride?
Iwahashi Kenitirou commenting the New Year Meeting 2008
Most of you already know the face of this guy but not his name. He is a heavyweight champion and calls himself a Yankee. He is a regular on knuckles.tv (closed down?) and commented on the New Years Meeting 2008:
You may expect him to pup up here more often in the future. 😉
Nori Yaro at Daisuke Shouten
Alexi from Nori Yaro visited Daisuke’s shop:
If you’re a fan of Option videos, you may have noticed that whenever they feature a bosozoku-style car, like in the Go Go Daijiro segments, there’s always this one guy named Daisuke who keeps showing up with one or two of the cars. After a relatively difficult time tracking down his workshop (I eventually found an ad of his in a slightly obscure magazine and called the number) I took a drive out to visit it.
Wild bosozoku styled Gloria Y30
I think pictures say more than words here… They guy Daisuke does modify a lot of cars and has a giantic stockpile of cars in his backyard ready for modification!

Of all cars in his backyard this is my personal favorite:
Widest rims I ever saw on a Nissan Laurel!
If you want to see what more there is in Daisuke’s backyard, you can find Nori Yaro’s blogpostings here and here.

How to get in this bosozoku style Nissan Bluebird 910?
Well that is a good question: it’s got no doorhandles!
Read on for more pics…
From the side you can see no hidden handles either
The only car that I know of that’s got no doorhandles is the General Lee of the Dukes of Hazard, but I doubt these Japanese will also enter the car through its windows!
If you are interested in how they removed the handles, you can see it all here.
