Hey guys, this thread got started on carolinanissans.com, I thought it was cool so I'm starting one here too. So what other "old skool" (like '80s or even '70s) import cars do you think are cool? Pick as many cars as you want and post pics if you have or can find them!
Besides #1. S12, of course, I'd have to say:
2. S110 (1980-83 200SX)
3.280ZX
4. Mk II Supra
5. 1st-gen Celica fastback
6. 82-83 Celica (love the stare-at-the-sky headlights)
7. AE86
8. TE 55 Corolla hatchback and LiftBack (77-79?)
9. Z31 300ZX
10. 1st-Gen. (79-82) Prelude
11. Datsun 210
12. 1st-Gen. RX-7
So, with the exception of the 'Lude, anything that's a RWD hatchback I guess!
And now for pics:
Here's an S110 200SX, this one's an '82:
I owned one just like it as my first car, mine was pretty rusty though.
There's a bunch more S110 pics here.
And if you want to go even earlier than '80s, my Dad had one of these from 1978 to about 1992:
1978 Corolla (TE55) Liftback .... I would love to get my hands on one of these to restore it, there's still some around, I saw a white one the other day.
And how's this for old-skool? A JDM TE-55 Levin hatchback!
And a side shot of a JDM TE-55 hatchback:
Oh and here's a first-generation Prelude if you've never seen one:
Here's a 1974 Datsun B210 ad:
And if you need a really good laugh, this mid-'70s "Datsunworld" ad is too big to post but here's a link:

Check out the clothes!
I've actually thought of starting an online club for enthusiasts of '80s imports, to try and get owners of all these great cars together. I don't know if there would be any interest or not, since many of the models already have their own clubs.
