With Skyline week now under way, we figured it'd be cool to start off with some classic Skyline "Best of" galleries. To start off, here's a selection of Hakoskua shots gathered from the Speedhunters archive. Enjoy!
Had to kick this off with Dino's "Ultimate KPGC10".
One in the garage at the 2008 Nismo Festival.
A fully restored GT-R clone put together by East Car in Ibaraki-ken. Shot this when I visited their shop in the fall of 2008.
A wicked pair spotted by Len Clarke at this year's New Year Meeting.
A simple and clean look for this four-door.
Star Road's GT-R at TAS 2010.
Rare Hakosuka I wagon found at the '08 JCCA New Year Meeting in Tokyo.
On track during the 2008 Summer Meeting at Tsukuba Circuit.
The famous UK-based GT-R race car, spotted by Jonathan Moore at the Goodwood Revival.
Beefy sedan at the '09 New Year Meeting.
Three relics randomly found on the side of the road by Dino. What a find.
A couple of Hakosukas right here under the warm California sun. This was at last year's JCCS.
It may be virtual, but it had to included here. Speedhunters was in large part responsible for getting the famed Hakosuka into NFS Shift.
This is the way to do it folks. Aggressive and functional at the same time.
Rocky Auto's beast at the 2008 Tokyo Nostalgic Car Show.
Not one for the purists, but C&Y's 2JZ-powered Hako is all sorts of cool. Shot by Dino at the Exciting Car Showdown.
Nothing like a few Hakosukas under beautiful January skies in Tokyo.
And finally my Hakosuka Drift shot. Still one of my favorite pictures ever…
OK, back with some Kenmeri action later!
