Me toooo!!! A man with taste.

As a non jap lover, i can't get enough of them. The yanks love their conversion, one of my fav's being the RB26 lump!

The old boys: (Any excuse) Original 72' Samuri, 38k miles.

 

[Christopher]

Plenty of love for them in the JDM thread.

I have a massive thing for old Skylines... Kenmeris & Hakosukas the most.

 

[Englebert]

Can't say i like the first 240z. I like period modifications personally.

 

[Christopher]

+1

 

[tom172cup]

I love 240s such nice looking cars. but they fetch good money for a clean one

 

[Christopher]

Oh, and since you've removed the top picture, the Hakosuka you've posted isn't a Datsun. Technically.

How do you mean?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Genuine question, do people like these things because they themselves like them, or because they are supposed to like them & follow the herd?

Ali's old mans is awesome BTW, but as it is a period classic, not an old car, mixed with scene/modern bits.

Seriously? You don't like this?!

 

[Gaz.]

Timeless looks, awesome noise, Jap engineering. Can't find a reason not to like them.

 

[JoeyD]

Prefer a Kenmeri myself.

 

[Ali]

Seriously? You don't like this?!

Other than the noise, it doesn't do alot for me...You genuinely do love JDM, but their are alot of 'herd followers' on here.

 

[Y7 ADW]

^^^ That is just awesome!

 

[Gaz.]

Ali in JDM hatred shocker

 

[Englebert]

How do you mean?

As in modifications from the same era. I don't like the orange one because it has modern wheels that are too big. Orange paintwork and bright red Sparco seats are a no-no too.

lol. Its not hatred, i just don't sit there manning off furiously over, spoon coolant socks and Bride seats.

I see. Necessary evil in some cases tho.

 

[Christopher]

Nah, I think Ali appreciates the genuine classic ones, just some of the newer cars covered in scene adenda that he doesn't like. It's an acquired taste after all.

Those old L Series engines sound superb, and stink like a classic engine should.

 

[Gaz.]

There's plenty of JDM tyteness I don't particularly like TBF, there's lots of wheels everybody wanks over that fall into that category.

Just I've yet to read Ali say a good word about pretty much any Japanese car, bar in this thread!

 

[Christopher]

He took it back about the GT-R the other day after going in one. Same with Jason's Evo, he loved that once he'd been in one.

He needs to sell the canoe and buy a Hako.

 

[Gaz.]

Probably one of the few on here who could afford one!

i don't own a canoe! Or are you being rude about the hippo!!!

For the record i didn't change my mind, it just opened my eyes a 'little' - And realised that i needed ALOT more power in my life. Even Jason's evo at 440 felt slow in comparison! I'm going to get a blast with Stoddie, to show you the difference between a fastish car and the GT-R. Should amuse most.

 

[Christopher]

They are ridiculous, especially off the line.

 

[Ali]

Quite jerky around town. Similar to the E63 M6...Around town it pulls away in 1st, instantly into 2 and cruised in 4 before 30! Seamless when moving! incredible thing! They should of made it a 2 seater tho as there is less rear room than on the RS4...

 

[ForceIndia]

A hooked up GTR will make most things look slow. One obliterated me in the AMV8.

 

[Ali]

On par, if not a touch quicker than a 991T

Ali your old mans Z looks amazing. I actually read an article about the Samuri's not so long ago. It will be worth holding on to for sure.
Do you have any pics from the side? Is it on Compomotive minilites? I have only seen them on watanabes so far. But the Comps are awesome wheels.
