In Japan, the month of March is a special time for Skyline owners...especially the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

As in Tyndago's post about 3-2, in Japan it's three full on days of Skylines. The usual meeting place is Daikoku Futo parking area under Yokohama Bay Bridge, and it's also the place where all the cars from Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Nissan get shipped to their final overseas destination.

Since I own a Skyline, I thought I'd give you a bit of a sneak peak of what goes on. Unfortunately...this year's events were pretty small scale due in part to the weather. My friend and fellow GT-R owner, Dino, is a very well known and well respected photojournalist for websites like Speedhunters and some pretty big name tuner mags. So, since Dino was covering the weekend festivities...or lack there-of, I'll let his blogs do the talking.

There will also be some other blogs by another well known Speedhunters journalist named Mike Garret


I would like to acknowledge Dino and Mike for their blogs and photos from Speedhunters. I hope you don't mind me using some of your pictures for my post here.

Enjoy!!!

This makes me happy in the pants. If I had an R-34, the only thing I'd change would be the ride height and exhaust.
