I thought I would go ahead and post up some more pictures from my visit to the old school Japanese swap meet held last weekend here in the Los Angeles area. While the parking lot was small, it was packed with more than enough things to attract my camera lens.

This RHD Crown popped up in last year's JCCS coverage. It looked cool then, and looks even cooler parked up on a side street like this.

Widened steelies with beauty rings. These would look hot on a dumped 510!

This red on black Z was one of the day's cleanest cars. Color combo looks great, as do the Enkei 92's.

Another Z, complete with Longchamps and a louvered rear window cover. Very retro!

This two-door 510 sat good. Can't beat the look of 510 with a nice drop and a set of 14's or 15's.

This was one of the few Fairlady Roadsters I spotted. In my findings, it seems the Roadster guys often run in a separate crowd than the 510 and Z guys.

Another view of the Celica LB from the first post.

There's just something appealing about showroom stock cars…

Another right hand drive Nissan Bluebird that has found its way to US shores.

Another rarity brought over from a Japan, a 610 Bluebird SSS. This thing was in amazing shape!

Spotted this mean looking Corolla parked across the street.

For me, the day's most unique find had to be this car (or truck). At first I wasn't quite sure what it was.

But after a closer look, I identified as a Datsun 510 pickup.

Now there never was a 510 pickup from the factory, but this one was apparently was built out of a 510 wagon. It's like the Sunny Truck that we never got here in the states, and the perfect vehicle for a swap meet!

Another clean 510, this one with turbo KA24DE power.

This one meanwhile, is sporting a rotary swap.

Yep, that's a lifted 510 wagon – or at least a 510 wagon body dropped onto an off-road chassis.

One more 510 for good measure. It seems that orange is always a good look on a Datsun.

Aside from the fact that the venue was too small, this was a great event, and a great start towards something bigger.

How cool would it be to see vintage Japanese car enthusiasts come together for big swap meets just like the hot rod guys have been doing since the beginning of time? It certainly seems like there's enough interest.

Who's with me now?
