Posted March 6, 200619 yr comment_158270 About a month ago I did a photo shoot for a Japanese magazine special edition on modified Japanese classic cars in the U.S. Well, I received my copy on Friday. I took some pics of the article. Tell me what you guys think. Brian Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/19119-my-15-seconds-of-fame/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 6, 200619 yr comment_158272 Wow, nice one Brian. It would be great if you have a few copies so you could frame it with all the pages open. Do you have a translated version so you know exactly what was written? - of couse it would have all been good!!!

March 6, 200619 yr comment_158361 Congratulations Brian. I'm curious about the seats and steering wheel in your car. The wheel looks like one I've seen on MSA's website. Also, for those interested in Skyline's of all vintages, Sports Car International has a feature in the current issue (#174 May 2006) on the Nismo Festival of Speed in Japan. And I noticed on their website - http://sci-mag.com/ - that they offer a free trial issue.Gary S.

March 7, 200619 yr Author comment_158456 Thanks guys. I really enjoyed doing the photo shoot. Unfortunately, the car is still not running. I had completely pulled it apart again when I got the e-mail from them. They asked if I could put it back together and make it look as though it was finished. So, I reassembled it and made a few other improvements at the time. I'll pull it apart again soon to actually finish the motor. As for the article, I have not yet been able to get a translation. I hope to have someone translate it eventually. As for the question about the seats and steering wheel, the seats are Sparco Torino's and the steering wheel is a Nardi that came with the car. I went to Mitsuwa to try to get more copies but they did not have this issue. I expect they should have it by the end of this month. I plan to get more copies to do exactly what 74-26Ounce suggested. I'd like to get it framed to put up with the rest of my posters. The issue itself is very impressive. As someone mentioned, there are other well known cars and their owners in this issue. Ron Carter and Mario Lozano both have very clean cars. And I would love to have been able to read what was said about Les Canneday's shop. I hope to get the car actually running here shortly as I have been contacted by a few American magazines that claim to be interested in featuring it too. Not to mention the feeling of driving the car under it's own power as opposed to my friends pushing it.
