Japan Holiday

Post by zzr81 »

Here are the pics of my Trip to Tokyo. I meet a great bunch of ppl from the BLACK and BLUE club.

btw this thread was seen on OZGEMINI but I got it removed because of the stupid comments..... I believe this forum is little more mature.

Firstly ZZ/Z are only Australian. Japanese Specs ZZ are /R /T and /L (never seen one of these)

What sort of close up pics do you want. I have some of the guards - which are from a Datsan. The engine is stock.

The Black (no.51 60) sedan is the car we cruised around in all day - firstly this car purrs like a kitten, the engine has been rebuilt by the owner. It has some custom intake before the airflow sensor.

I also meet the owner of this car

his the guy with the red shirt and demium jacket

prior to the meeting I meet Oku, his car is pretty crazy, he offered me to drive the car through the streets of Tokyo but I had a 3 beers so I didnt want to cause any problems ;)

[EDIT] Instead of making a new post due to requests for more photos of the yellow gemini I have edited this post with most of the images of it I have. Didn't want to spam this topic with another reply. Now who wants to give me a twincam for all my effort?

Thats most the images I have. I'm new to the forums (as you can tell by my post count) so I hope I haven't broken any rules or anything, Just trying to be helpful.

Admin Edit:
Just to keep the posts as short as possible, I have reorganised the rows and columns of the images. Thumbnails can generally be places in rows of four. When you add the URL, just put a space then add the next URL till you get four in the set, return to the next line and do the same again.

Any idea on what the side badge says? I'm guessing something along the line of gemini or Isuzu

Hmm... two of them look a bit far gone. Salt corrosion maybe by the look of it. Probably been sitting on the edge of the rim with flat tires for some time. Not bad even getting two at the current price. Just AU$75 but I'd hate to imagine the freight costs. Have you ever lifted one of those wheels up? Lightest alloy rim I've ever come across yet strong. Used to be very popular in race/rally circles.

Damn it!

If you want poida I can put you in contact with some one that should be able to import them and he will give you a quote on how much it would cost.

Geez look at the back of them, they're in terrible condition... The front looks ok but structurally and balance wise that could be a problem.
