Don't you mean "KPGC110 Skyline"??? "Ken and Mary" were a 60's and 70's singing duo who were chosen to appear in the early 70's Skylines ads on TV, in magazines and newspapers and that meant that the KPGC110 was nicknamed the "Ken Meri" after the advertisements.Guys in Japan know don't even know who Ken and Mary are, yet they call the KPGC110 the Ken Meri... go figure.

Luvly pics there mate! I'll do the same soon...

Troy: Just you wait... she's 45kg's of Pool shark grunt. Dave: Sorry about the mess up, I've just about got my hands on the V35 so it shouldn't be long now... your right about the rainy season though. Bleeeegh!

Quick!! Someone snap it up before it gets shipped off to, god forbid... the US of Ghey... Save a poor R33s life.

This reply is WORTHLESS without pics!!!! Bloody Aussie tourists...

Shall do... but I'm only gonna do Impul filter and steerring wheel, the kit will be "R-Spec Datasystem" y'know the one? Oh and some gunmetal Work Emotion CR Kai's...

Thats what I'm doing with my one, keep it for a year here and then ship it to AU.

Brian, check out the latest "Japanzine" (you know the one?) theres a pic of an old Japanese dude asleep on the floor of the train... a tourist took it.... and heres Andrews mate thinking he's found a way to out do the Japs/do something funny!!!

I'm now officially in the process of getting a V35 Skyline 350GT Coupe... I luv em.

Mmmm, good facts there... I still can get over the cars left running on the side of the road withe A/C on while the driver ducks in to a konbini to get some ciggies. DEFinately a different world!

You know, you can really damage the wheels, hubs etc if you do that too often... tsk, tsk.

Hahahaha! Look at all you "Otaku" coming out of the woodwork!!! About 4 years ago I got some Initial D goods... and my Japaneses girlfriend at the time (this is in Japan remember) LAUGHED at me and said that shit was for kids. ... never underestimate the power of a Japanese hottie laughing at you...

You tryin' to trip me up there man? I said "The Japaneeeeeeeeeese" wouldn't care what Race Bread meant ... if anything, the guys (there you go mate ) at Nissan would've thought the "R" meant "Refined" and the "B" meant "Benelovent" or some shit.

He's sleeping... I thought they only did that on country trains, but I've been enlightened.

Heres some different shots I took on Saturday. I only 3x optical zoom on my Canon Ixy 500, but I tried to make good use of it with these "spy" shots...if you can call them that! I didn't go after the big modified cars (Troy can attest to the abundance of modified cars going past my house on Route 2) but I went after every day cars instead, and a suprise car... Thats the big bridge down by Sushine Wharf where SuperAutobacs is. Just a typical Saturday morning in Settsu Motoyama. Same as above but looking west. This is the Bridgestone (pronounced "Bu-ri-ji-stoe-n" in Japanese! There you go!) Gasoline Satnd directly across the road from me. Just shortly after this pic was taken, that dude creaning the windscreen ran out onto the middle of the road, and waited there, holding up traffic long enough for the March to come out and drive off... can you imagine that happening in AU/UK/NZ/US??? If I'm not mistaken.. this is a CITROEN 2CV!!!!! WTF??? ... and you thought Japan was high-tech! Theres that dude again holding up traffic... A Celica and Civic just cruising along... the ZZT231 Celica is pretty popular around were I live, theres no less that 3 mildly modified SS-IIs on my block and adjacent blocks. Alright! This is more like it... Stagea 2.5 25RS that had a nice burble to the exaust. Mitsubishi Grandis van, and a DC5 Integra Type R (the good JDM version... not the barebones AU version!) At first I thought this was a "Honda Legreat", but now I'm not sure... anybody know what it is? I think the fact that you can get a carbon bonnet and decent kit for it must mean it's at least mildly popular. Toyota Landcruiser 4.7 "Cygnus" (the Lexus version in AU?) with all the fruit. That dude on the little motorbike thingy are a dime a dozen too. One for Troy... Evo 7 in it's home environment... chugging around at 50km/h stopping every 100m for the traffic lights. Sweet, I love 'em though. Probably the only other car I'd look at other than a Skyline. What are the chances of seeing a Y33 and Y34 Gloria side by side on the street? They weren't friends either... the Y33 came up real quick the overtake the Y34 on the right side.

Another thing too... I can ASSURE you, the Japanese guys at Nissan who designed and R+D'd the RB series of engines wouldn't know (or even care) what "Race Bred" meant. They're Japanese for christs sake!

Btw Megga love the pic... definately *devoid* of american hype... Japanese style!!!

Yeah, for sure... but I meant on a widespread national level. Almost like something isn't "legit" until some doofus american dude says it is?

I think it's entirely ghey how heaps of Aussies knew about drift from the mid-90's (where I lived anyway) and yet it doesn't get popular in Oz until some freakin' yanks hype it up...

A concept that hasn't been perfected yet? I know we're talking about the SW20 and AW11, cheap MR cars, but it sounded like you're being a little critical of the chassis layout itself. Are you of the same line of thinking with the oh-so-inferior (on paper) RR layout? I mean, we all know how Porsche suck... ;) Agreed. I drove a 300kw SW20 once, midcorner feathering the throttle on/off boost, THAT was scary... but a mildy modded Turbo version would be quite sweet IMO.

That ain't no 3 Series BMW... look at the centre crease line on the BMW, the crease goes right through the door handles. That "thing" with the R33 lights, bumper etc has a similar crease line, yet the door handles are positioned below the line.

It says it's just a "drink switch".... hahaha, so much for that!

Almost! The Nur spec was produced to commemorate the R34 Skyline GT-Rs involvement in the Nurburgring 24hrs endurance race. Engine goodies and "extras" as you say were icluded, but yeah, it was also the last R34 GT-R...

Haha, I didn't even look at the buildings in the background with all that malaysian writing... Opinion still stands though.

Americans trying to outdo themselves in the "Gayest/Inexcusable car mod of the Year" award. God I hate it when they defile Skylines.
