Bosozoku-Bippu-Kyusha-Shakotan-Zokusha Car Picture thread

[datsunfreak]

 Ive  never heard of anyone importing from Africa though. Could be fun. 

 

FWIW, a buddy here has imported several cars from Johannesburg, South Africa. 

 

And the SA cars are RHD.   B)

Heck yeah they are. What did it cost him, do you recall? Id love to have an e20. 

[Rhapakatui]

I had been wondering what bippu meant. Now, if someone could explain to me kyusha, and zokusha. Then I might fully understand this thread I love so much.

There are lots of variants of Japanese car styling... 

 

Shakotan translates to "lowered car" which is the slammed cars, maybe a smaller wing, and the larger exhaust.

Kyusha translates to "old Japanese classic car" so its common to see a slightly modified car with some smaller flares, lowered and pretty clean. 

Garuchan would be a step up from kyusha and would be cars that look a lot like the racing cars of the 70s. Wide box flares like Super Silhouette racing. 

Bosozoku is the extreme level of the wide body kits with ridiculous front lips, 9 foot star exhausts etc. Its the most wild faction of all this. 

 

 

Help?

[Rhapakatui]

Yes. I now know kyusha. I knew the rest of those. Still don't know what zokusha means.

[Tristin]

Oh I missed that one... zokusha is mostly stock bodied, chin spoilers, low... you see a lot of C210s in this style.

[captaingamez]

huh, thats badass Tristan, those vans are REALLY badass, what kind are they??

Datsun e20 kombi.

[datsunfreak]

Datsun e20 kombi.

 

aka Nissan Caravan  :thumbup:

 

But the important bit is the E20. That's the chassis code.  ;)

[Tristin]

Yep.

[Tristin]

Oh look, a c210! (with c130 markers)

[datsunfreak]

 (with c130 markers)

 

'Cause those are the best markers.  B)

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Tristin]

I wish they were smaller... I may or may not have a pair Id like to run instead of the arrows. They would be a good square marker replacement though.

[Just Joel]

I'd run em

[Tristin]

I'd run em

 

I would too... thats why I bought a set. Too big for my tastes though. Like I said, good square replacement. Would look really good I think. 

[Radim]

I should totally snag a set for my 620, and delete the rear markers..... GENIUS!

[Tristin]

I understand that not everyone can get into the minivans [...]

 

 

I would drive this one... 

 

[q-tip]

OK, the f1 powered minivan doesn't count......it is badass though...

[captaingamez]

I think anyone would drive an f1 engine powered minivan.

 

but I wouldnt drive a Renault.........

[Tristin]

I would... its an 800hp carbon bodied minivan that seats 4. I think most of the features and specs would override the fact that its French. 

[datsunfreak]

[captaingamez]

lmfao, thats kind of what I was thinking.

[q-tip]

In the end its all designed by the Germans anyway....
