This 1972 Nissan Skyline GT is well known at west coast tracks, being campaigned regularly in the two years since completion by it builder Jim Froula. The car is the only race-spec Hako that we have ever seen on track in the USA, and and the build is a nice homage to the livery and details of the cars we see in historic footage from Japan, but minus the twin-cam wail. Find it here on eBay in Woodinville, Washington. Special thanks to BaT reader Kyle K. for this submission.

Racecraft is well known for building and supporting excellent track cars, and this one was the personal obsession of the owner of the company. The 10″ and 8″ Watanabe wheels are the perfect fit, and the big fiberglass flares look excellent in person.

All the the gray metal inside and underneath the car were powdercoated prior to assembly. The shell was fully seam welded, and all rust was removed, which is no small feat in this model. The tach was swapped out for a Stack unit and the steering wheel is a period MOMO item.

The engine in the car is a fully race built L-series based on a Z-car engine. It has 8 hours since the build and provides great power according to the listing.

The underside of the car looks amazing and the R-190 diff looks amazing with the Jimco magnesium cover installed. The seller says that the car is easy to drive on track and that it keeps up with the 3.5CSLs and the RSRs.

Craftsmanship looks to be very good, and there is nothing we would change short of sourcing a genuine twin-cam engine.

Many more pics of the build can be found here in the seller’s Flickr gallery. His metalwork is impressive.
