Some more vintage goodness from the Nissan archive here. This shot was taken in the rain at Fuji Speedway during the opening round of the Fuji Grand Championship Series in March, 1972. By this point the GT-R race cars had switched from the four-door PGC10's featured in yesterday's post to the newer and sleeker KPGC10 coupes like this one. This #15 car was driven by the legendary racer Kunimitsu Takahashi and is probably the world's most well known Hakosuka Skyline. The KPGC10 in the UK that appeared at the Goodwood Festival of Speed is a replica of this car.

Yes.
So cool.
The Taka bros are elite!
Ah... Kunimitsu Takahashi - the REAL father of modern drifting.
Also, that hakosuka's pattern is just legendary nowadays. Most hakosuka models and toys i've seen have at least a variant with this pattern (which is really cool in a retro kind of way).
Is that a wheel-whores.com sticker on the C-pillar?...
...if only it were true.
ah old skool japanese racing at its finest!
Heart Skyline!
???? ???? KPGC10
Is this the one that Rod has a small super-deformed model of? the one that came with 'spin tire unit'? lol
Alright, I'm sorry this off the topic, but I've been trying to post my cars the the forum and none of my posts will show up, I don't know what to do! Any help please?
