Speedhunters reader Peter Brueckner recently grabbed a camera, hopped into his Skyline and headed for the Santa Cruz mountains.
Peter's a camera engineer by trade, and his weekend toy is this 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GTX.
Ground Control helped build a custom pair of coilovers utilising Koni shocks. For the rear, Peter has fitted RS Start adjustable perches and springs. Peter's a self confessed Watanabe fan, but he decided on a set of Hayashi Street CRs instead. The fronts are 15×7.5 with a +6 offset, while the rears are a tasty 9.5 wide with a -15 offset.
He may have gone with the Hayashi rims, but Peter still gave some love to Watanabe via a Falcon steering wheel.
Currently the L20 only has Mikuni 40mm side drafts, but one of Peter's new year's resolutions is to drop in a larger L motor.
Keep up the good work Peter!

The car is very nice and clean. But the photos could be a bit brighter, its' hard to see the details (could be the old monitor I use at work, though).
I want to contact him to see how he was able to get one over in the US!
Love that rear quarter - it's like sex on wheels.
I love it. Not overly done, which makes it beautiful.
Nice setup i can picture that car sitting there if i pass through but i wonder where do people get a good working Nissan 2000 gtr like this one cause i wish i can find one in the states
Love these! Hopefully you guys do this more often!
