Hey, that is serious Nissan history. I luv the English translation.

My kids get mails from Japanese students who have stayed with us and they write exactly like that.

I think this info should be in Sky History Stickey.

Seibu Keisatsu.

You're right, it was a Japanese Movie & TV Series that lasted a long time! The first episodes had C10 Skylines... I think it ended with the R30 and S130. The show was sponsored by Nissan, which is why all the police cars are Nissans. That convertible Gazelle and S130 with gullwing doors are from the same show.

Some videos are on YouTube ... here's one

The R30 was called "Machine-X"

Wow thank's DR JOSH ... this info just filled in a huge gap for me and a friend of mine ...

I have spent a fair bit of time in one of these in the mid 90's ( 2000RS-X TURBO C Twin cam turbo engine of 4 valves DOHC ) and we never knew what it was... We had suspicions it was a track car of some sought when we bought but had no real idea...

It had freaky performance to anything we had every encountered before!

he ended up putting a huge turbonetics and EMS on and to this day that car is one of my all time favorites to have driven

    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
