It was at Auto Gallery Tokyo 2006. The show is not as full on as Tokyo Auto Salon, but a few places like Show Up, MASA Motorsports and Meister have cars there usually.

Justin, you are a MASTER!!! I'm guessing having lived so close to the action has given you good exposure to where all the strange and unusual stuff Japan has to offer is hidden.

Thanks Goldzilla... but I wasn't at the show ;) I'm on Response.jp's mailing list.

Hers MASA's M35 Stagea:

Hmmmm, I've never been a fan of the M35's huge headlights (although the whole car looks great in the metal) and those headlight surrounds are drawing attention too them... I'd rather get some eyelids to make them smaller/slimmer.

Heres something not fpr sale in Australia, but a Nissan wagon nonetheless:

Evo 9 headlights and lambo doors on a medium sized station wagon... it's a Nissan Wingroad.

big fan of the ute - pity you cant drop the gate down but it obviously isnt made to haul hay. Much nicer than the silvia utes you see at drifts. would like to see one with the stagea front end though...

Its the same one that gojira posted from the show a while back.

I remember finding a few pics on the Dear Motorsports site (different to these ones) while looking for a supplier of R34 fender conversion kits for the WGNC34. Had a look at a couple of the non ute wagon conversions and we decided that the Masa fitted ones looked better... although Dear seems to be simply reselling Masa fenders.

Still... very cool ute conversion.

Excuse the thread bump but I noticed this for sale on Iron Chef's page

However it's current life as a drifter has left it a little battered and of course it can never be registered.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
