What is this era or style called with 1970s Japanese cars?

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?

Yea this exactly!!

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:

Yes to all of this.

Also this. I've tried buying this car twice and missed both times. 70s dart with a modern EFI hemi.

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

Kanpeki. 

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.

that is one hell of an idea...

Sung Kang's Project Underdog 72 Maverick.  Described as kenmeri style.

 I um Noticed a thing...

I kinda want a challenger with a 70's style splitter and Fender Mirrors..

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

Only one car has been posted that I didnt care for - the exhaust car.

Gosh, some gorgeous JDM rides here, keep em coming!

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 

Ken & Mary!
