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 →

The beautiful Box Art and history of Aoshima model kits

Posted on August 30, 2012 by Ben Hsu

Friday Video: Return of Seibu Keisatsu

Posted on November 11, 2011 by Ben Hsu

It’s been a long while since we’ve seen a car chase from the most famous Japanese cop show of all time, Seibu Keisatsu. The plot is simple — actually, who needs plot? This funk-era free-for-all is all about C210 Skyline Turbo … 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 →

Friday Video: Hakosuka vs Cedric in Seibu Keisatsu

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Ben Hsu

We just got done watching the North American premiere of Fast Five in Los Angeles, and yes, there is a hakosuka in it. No, it’s not this airborne one with the rally lights and giant roof rack. It’s hard to … Continue reading →

Pre-Digital Camera Kobe Kyuusha Meeting

Posted on March 30, 2011 by Ben Hsu

Friday Video: Cedric 330 Wagon Full of Carnival Freaks

Posted on March 11, 2011 by Ben Hsu

Friday Video: Nissan Cedric 330 vs Jeep

Posted on December 31, 2010 by Ben Hsu

Nothing goes together like a funk bass and car chases. Seibu Keisatsu has been known to pit its various Nissan products against Detroit iron before, often to disastrous effect. This time, the Nissan Cedric 330 puts up an admirable off-road fight … Continue reading →

In this short but action-packed chase from Seibu Keisatsu, a Bluebird 810 sedan goes head to head with a 330 Cedric. A flotilla of Nissan black-and-whites give chase, and a particularly brave yonmeri Skyline patrol car sets up a pick … Continue reading →

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

A black police-spec Cedric 230 on steelies sure looks like a mean machine. Too bad it, along with several other rarities, bites the dust in yet another car chase in Seibu Keisatsu. Video below the fold.
