Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R (C110) – The Rare “Kenmeri” Legend When it comes to rare JDM legends, few hold the mythical status of the Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R C110, lovingly nicknamed the Kenmeri GT-R. Produced for just one year from 1973 to 1974, this coupe wasn’t just a successor—it was a symbol of a bygone era and a pinnacle of Nissan’s motorsport engineering before emissions and fuel crises changed the game. A Brief History of the Kenmeri GT-R The C110 Skyline followed the celebrated “Hakosuka” (C10) generation and was named after a clever marketing campaign in Japan that featured a young couple named Ken and Mary—thus earning the “Kenmeri” moniker. Debuting at the 1972 Tokyo Motor Show, the GT-R version of the C110 was aimed at continuing the racing dominance of its predecessor. However, stricter emission regulations and rising fuel prices cut its production short. Only 197 units of the C110 GT-R were ever made, making it one of the rarest GT-Rs in existence. Sadly, the Kenmeri GT-R ...

JDM Legend: Nissan Skyline KGC10 “ Hakosuka ” Before the GT-R badge became a global icon, there was the Nissan Skyline KGC10—better known to enthusiasts as the legendary Hakosuka. Launched in the early 1970s, this boxy warrior marked the birth of Japan’s performance car era. With its sharp lines, aggressive stance, and naturally aspirated inline-six, the KGC10 wasn’t just a looker—it was a racer at heart. Dominating circuits and stealing hearts, it laid the foundation for decades of Skyline greatness. Today, the Hakosuka stands as a symbol of pure, analog driving—an irreplaceable piece of JDM history. Meet the car that kickstarted the Skyline legacy— the iconic Nissan Skyline KGC10, affectionately known as the “Hakosuka” (a blend of “hako” meaning box and “suka” short for Skyline). Born in the early ‘70s, this boxy beast is a true JDM classic, boasting sharp lines, a lightweight chassis, and motorsport pedigree. Whether it’s sitting pretty on SSR wheels or tearing up touge roads, the...

Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R : A Legend Unleashed When the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R roared onto the scene in 1999, it wasn’t just a car—it was a beast, bred from the racetrack and unleashed onto the streets. Dubbed “Godzilla” for its monstrous performance and Japanese origins, the R34 GT-R became a global icon of speed, precision, and raw, unfiltered driving pleasure. Building on the legacy of the R32 and R33, the R34 was a refined evolution—tighter, faster, smarter. Its heart was the legendary RB26DETT, a twin-turbocharged 2.6L inline-six engine, capable of pushing out 276 horsepower (officially, though the real number was much higher). Paired with the advanced ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system and the Super-HICAS four-wheel steering, the R34 gripped the road like few others could. But it wasn’t just about power—it was about technology ahead of its time. The R34 introduced a multi-function display (MFD) on the dash, giving drivers real-time data like boost pressure, throttle position, and ...
