Obviously they are all skylines, but what is this look called?  The added on small flares, the dark wheels, a serious front air dam...  

anybody know?

I think the lowered older cars with wheels and sometimes flares are generally called "kyusha" which if I remember correctly just generally means old car. JNC is a good resource for photos of those cars and some explanation to the terminology:

I miss this forum. Their site is so troubled now that it won't even let me login to my account.

I was thinking takeyari style but I think that it refers more to the exhaust nowadays.

I'm still a member but I haven't posted in years, I still appreciate the blog. 

If any of you want to burn countless hours staring at Japanese cars of that era on really cool wheels, Park Baker's blog is the place: https://high-top-fade.blogspot.com/

I never got into JDM stuff but lately have been loving it,

what was the reason that the Skylines mounted their oil coolers externally?

.

 

One thing that cracked me up after reading a bit about the old days of Japanese racing was the origin story of those OK stickers that many of the cars always had...

...was actually a condom company! LOL

I had been thinking "I'd like to see a pony car done up that way, maybe a Mopar A body" as I was reading this thread.

Glad to see I'm not the only one whose thoughts went there.

I have a garage full of JDM goodness so I obviously like 70s Japanese cars.

I've had the idea for a little while of something like this sunbird I saw today, or a mustang II or some such, done in this style
