With Skyline week now under way, we figured it'd be cool to start off with some classic Skyline "Best of" galleries. To start off, here's a selection of Hakoskua shots gathered from the Speedhunters archive. Enjoy!
Had to kick this off with Dino's "Ultimate KPGC10".
One in the garage at the 2008 Nismo Festival.
A fully restored GT-R clone put together by East Car in Ibaraki-ken. Shot this when I visited their shop in the fall of 2008.
A wicked pair spotted by Len Clarke at this year's New Year Meeting.
A simple and clean look for this four-door.
Star Road's GT-R at TAS 2010.
Rare Hakosuka I wagon found at the '08 JCCA New Year Meeting in Tokyo.
On track during the 2008 Summer Meeting at Tsukuba Circuit.
The famous UK-based GT-R race car, spotted by Jonathan Moore at the Goodwood Revival.
Beefy sedan at the '09 New Year Meeting.
Three relics randomly found on the side of the road by Dino. What a find.
A couple of Hakosukas right here under the warm California sun. This was at last year's JCCS.
It may be virtual, but it had to included here. Speedhunters was in large part responsible for getting the famed Hakosuka into NFS Shift.
This is the way to do it folks. Aggressive and functional at the same time.
Rocky Auto's beast at the 2008 Tokyo Nostalgic Car Show.
Not one for the purists, but C&Y's 2JZ-powered Hako is all sorts of cool. Shot by Dino at the Exciting Car Showdown.
Nothing like a few Hakosukas under beautiful January skies in Tokyo.
And finally my Hakosuka Drift shot. Still one of my favorite pictures ever…
OK, back with some Kenmeri action later!

Man these will always be one of my favorite cars. way to start off the week!
Classic
until i started following this website i never knew about any of the skylines older than the r31, love the older hakosukas, fell in love after first sight
lol nfs is garbage. what a lame plug.
turn ten rapes the n00bs ea pays to make nfs
LOVE THEM ALL. ALTHOUGH THE 2JZ POWERED ONE IS JUST WRONG!!! IT SHUD BE AN RB26 OR AN RB30 N/A OR EVEN A VH45DE WOULD BE COOL AS LONG AS IT WAS NISSAN IT WOULDENT BE BLASPHEMY. ONG LIVE THYE SKYLINE/GTR
beautiful car, when i have the time and money i will have one, and fully restore it....minus the L series... haha.
By far my favorite generation of the skyline platform. I think the skyline is one of the greatest cars of all time because of its perfect blend of styling, taking inspiration from American muscle and Japan's own sports car scene.
yea that last one is the money shot.
<3
Rad. I'm feelin this.
I love how in the HakoDrift shots you did, the surrounding Tsukuba environment is in somewhat of a virtual texture, making it look like something out of GT4.
the first shot HAS to be a wallpaper~!!!
Nice. One of my dream cars. Can't wait for the Kenmeri's.
What about Kev from JNC's hako?

Dino's "Ultimate KPGC10" FTW!
My Good that is nice as and would love it in the garage next to a R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur in Millennium Jade.
Well Done!
Love the 'Utlimate' plus the one at 'Nismo Festival '08', would've loved to have seen more of the wicked pair with those wide arches... C&Y's 2JZ-powered Hako is looking very too - so many great creations - thanks for this post!!
