I love this. I'd like to know the story behind it - I assume it's been two doored with extended doors and the b-posts moved back, and that it's been done recently, rather than something from in period.

Couple more from the same set,








This is what an s54 Prince Skyline "should" look like.

Thanks! Couple of days ago when I found them, reverse search didn't bring any results. Nice to have some more angles. I too could live with owning that

That looks serious!

Thats even kewler than



Would love to see some engine bay shots.

My GOD thats cool! I couldnt change a thing about that, apart from its location, ie, my drive please. If its a genuine 2dr its awesome, if its a recent conversion its one of the best ive see as far as proportions and finnish go. The arches look like the belong on it an those wheels have got to be the phatest 4 spokes ive ever seen, i do like a 4 spoke.

I bet those wheels alone are worth more than most of us could afford... Had to use a bit of google-foo to find some info about them: www.classiczcars.com/topic/14572-does-anyone-recognise-these-wheels/#entry108215

I don't know why, but this car makes me happy!

I thought it might be a floorpan swap or perhaps a repanel job. This shot kind of backs up my theory:





Anyone know what the original floorpan would look like?

[TurboDieselWeasel]

I guess it might have something to do with the engine in the background (which I can't identify. but looks modern-ish)

There's been a detailed series of build articles for the so-called 'S54R' project running in Old Timer magazine this year. All the answers are in the articles.

Engine is an (Australian) RB30, given a 'period look' makeover to suit the theme of the car. The wheels are RS Watanabe's limited edition aluminium re-pop of the magnesium Kobe Seiko 4 spokes that were made exclusively for Nissan's works race team back in late 1971 (and which have always been nicknamed 'Gotti mags' in Japan...). Complicated!

Awesome.

Now I just need to learn Japanese.



Dunno why but with the 2 doors it looks a little like a Toyota Publica to me

Thank you Internet, thank you Alan

Just had a quick scroll through the link Hotwire provided. I looks like the orgional floorpan with S30 front and rear suspension grafted in and moved b pillars / extended doors obviously.
