Nissan Cedric taxis sure can take a beating, but the door hinges could use work

Posted on September 25, 2024 by Steve Chang

The Nissan Cedric taxi was once a staple of Japanese streets. It was also once a staple of Japanese car chases, where cheap 230s and 330s were sacrificed to to gods of Showa Era police dramas. To be fair, Toyota … Continue reading →

Posted on February 25, 2016 by Kevin San

One of the most important (and expensive!) purchases you’ll make for your ride, are a nice set of wheels. J-nostalgics just don’t look right without the right vintage wheels, and so you’re probably already a veteran of cruising Yahoo Auctions … Continue reading →

Friday Video: Nissan Cedrics vs S30 Fairlady Z

Posted on May 6, 2011 by Ben Hsu

Last week we were surprised that we’d never featured a hakosuka in a Friday Video car chase. Even more surprising is the lack of S30s in Seibu Keisatsu pursuits. Although we’ve seen a couple here and there, you’d think there … Continue reading →

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Ben Hsu

Pre-Digital Camera Kobe Kyuusha Meeting

Posted on March 30, 2011 by Ben Hsu

Posted on March 11, 2011 by Ben Hsu

Posted on December 31, 2010 by Ben Hsu

Nissan Cedrics vs Toyota LiteAce in Daitokai, The Big City

Posted on August 13, 2010 by Ben Hsu

It’s odd to see a mixed-marque car chase in the heavily sponsored world of Japanese cop shows. Almost as odd as using a Toyota LiteAce as a getaway vehicle when you’re being pursued by a fleet of Nissan Cedrics. But there … Continue reading →

Friday Video: Massive Carnage in Seibu Keisatsu (Again)

Posted on July 16, 2010 by Ben Hsu
