Exhaust of the week: Y shaped exhaust

banpei — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:32:45 +0000

A few weeks ago we posted a Y30 at TAS 2010 with some wild exhaust pipes. Well, I found another picture of the car and it turns out to be no Y30, but a 430:

Must have been the Y shaped exhaust that changed the 4 into a Y! :D

Bosozoku car feature: Okumis Nissan 240Z

Okumi from Thailand sent me the pictures of his Thai zokusha: a 1972 Nissan 240Z!

Okumis Nissan 240Z zokusha
He owns the Z for seven years now and he is slowly turning it into a genuine zokusha!

This (and previous) picture was taken at the Bangsan Classic Automobile Festival, held on the 27th of february, showing his latest addition: a new sky tailpipe!

Looking at the immaculate cars in the background it sure must have given quite a shock for the other attendees! ;)

How deep is your dish?

banpei — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:20:52 +0000

This week we have another rarity: a set of Hoshino Impul G5 rims! Produced by the company owned by famous Super Silhouette driver Kazuyoshi Hoshino, these rims are the ultimate grachan rims to own!

Deep dish Hoshino Impul G5 rims
The rims feature the distinct cross pattern as found on Kazuyoshi's Impul Silvia S110 and S12. Apart from this design they are the deep dish variant too, which makes them even more rare!

This picture really had something! The Cherry X-1 taillight hints the bosozoku offspring and the little child on the left shows you how much clearance there is between the fender and the XR-4 longchamps!

Auctions: red Toyota Soarer GZ10

banpei — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:00:15 +0000

Browsing Auctions Yahoo is fun, especially when browsing for zokushas. How about this red sharknosed Toyota Soarer?

Zokusha auctions: Red Toyota Soarer GZ10

Hot or not: Sharknose Mark II GX71 Grande

banpei — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:56:58 +0000

Last week almost 90% thought the Zig Zag Sharknose Soarer was hot. So what about this sharknose Mark II Grande then?

Hot or not: bosozoku style Toyota Mark II Grande GX71
Big sharknose, lowered in shakotan boogie style and some nice SSR mk3s.

Hot or not: bosozoku style Toyota Mark II Grande GX71
Also features some (mild) double exhaust pipes.

So what do you think? Hot or not?

Exhaust of the week: Beercan Skyline C210

banpei — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:46:16 +0000

You may have two WTFs here:
1. beercan exhaust?
2. Skyline C210?
Yes it may be unbelievable, but this car has an exhaust made out of beercans and actually is a C210 Skyline and not a Mazda Cosmo AP:

Nissan Skyline C210 beercan exhaust
At first I was fooled by the Cosmo AP taillights, but we all know zokushas love to have some different taillights than stock... Same applies to the exhausts of course. :D

The beercans are all Asahi beercans, so someone must either have had a good party or a big hangover. (or both!) ;)

Found through Riverside and the other pictures of this car can be found here

Bosozoku car feature: Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha

banpei — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:59:11 +0000

Remember the Lawswon Daihatsu Mira? The same person created a Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha now:

And as you can see some key elements are returning: the roofchop, the big cross and the blow up doll...

Nice thing about the current auction is that they provided a big gallery with several pictures. So they started out with an old beaten up Move:

Can you imagine a deeper dish than these Racing Hart rims?

Auctions: Grachan Falken GX71

banpei — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:42:36 +0000

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!

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!

Four more videos after the jump!

Hot or not: zig zag sharknose soarer

banpei — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 05:34:08 +0000

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:

How about some rare rims this time? I found this rare set of deep dish SSR Star Formula rims on Auctions Yahoo:

Lucky enough the seller provided us with all specs and details! They are 14 inch in diameter, 10J and 8.5J wide with a set of 185/60 and 205/60 Bridgestones nicely stretched around it!

I have no idea where I found this weeks wallpaper, but it has been sitting on my harddisk for a few months now. It is a Yonmeri Skyline by Liberty Walk:

Liberty Walk Yonmeri Nissan Skyline C110

Some people may have recognized it already, indeed it is the same Skyline as in the badboy search polls. I'm not 100% sure about it, but it looks like the pictures in the polls were taken earlier than the ones from Liberty Walk.

I love the way these Mark IIs do a merry-go-round in this video by gx61sedan:

Now that's what I'd call a Mark-II-go-round! :D
BTW: If you paid attention you would have noticed one of them actually is a GX61 Cresta, so I lied! ;)

Last week we already posted two of them, so here is the next batch of videos from KengiTV:

Yes, more high revving GX61s, GX71s, Soarers and Leopards! All arriving at the TAS 2010 parking lot!

How about the Dekotora arriving at 0:16? Did you notice the Skyline C110 taillight on the bike? Nuts!

Also the Y30 we posted last week arrives and immediately followed by an insane Nissan President H250, both stirring up the crowd!

We found him: the baddest of the badboys! It is ...

Nissan Laurel C130
... the Nissan Laurel C130!!

I kind of expected this outcome and it was one of my personal favorites from the start! I must say the Skyline C10 was very close all the time, but in the end the Skyline got a very glorious second place with only a few votes difference.

Thank you all for voting and the poll will continue next week with some new stuff!

Exhaust of the week: Through Mark II

banpei — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 05:12:21 +0000

A few weeks back we already posted the exact same Mark II with its exhaust going through the car:

Exhaust through Mark II GX61
On the previous post it was a bit less visible, but as you can see it actually goes through the whole rear of the car!

Also the big spoiler is an amazing piece of art! You can actually see through the star and arrow! Nice!
