I agree with all you have said above but if you get a chance drive a good G50 Infiniti Q45. I bought this as a daily driver while I was getting the bodywork done on my Y33 Cima but this is so much more fun to drive. Designed at the same time as the R32 GTR and Z32 300ZX and like them and the Nissan Primera was part of Nissan's push to build the best driving cars in the world. I still have my Cima and this but this hasn't come out of the shed in a few years. Had too much fun on a race track. I won't ever sell it though. It is just waiting for me to get time to work on it.

The Underrated JDMs

Sup everyone. Some JDMs get the spotlight on Movie Posters, some in Video Games, Some on Merch, and some in our hearts (insert gagging sounds here).

But far down the cave of hype and glory lie some pretty sexy JDMs just waitin' for their Prince Charmin'. I am gonna be the Prince.

Honda Prelude (4th Gen)

That, my soakin' panties supra-droolers is THE GOAT. The Honda Prelude 4th Gen.

Everyone’s busy talking about the Civic Type R and NSX, but the Prelude? This spankin' hot bag of cheetos thang had four-wheel steering in the ‘90s (WTF, Shut up and take ma money). Sleek coupe lines (mmm), comfy AF interior, and a chassis that begged to be fuc- I mean pushed to its GODDAMN limits. Basically, the friend who doesn’t brag but still wins every single-god help us all spankin' hot grease monkeys-game.

🤓👆🏽 “uH wTf, WhEre’s tHE 2jZ?” Nah, babe — this is a nimble corner-carver with actual steering feel. No endless straight-line bragging for Supra Airlines, its handling you actually have to work for.

Nissan Silvia S12

Oh ma gawwd, now we gettin' to the good stuff (insert crystal meth here)

🤓👆🏽BuT ThaT's JuST a MIaTa

Goddammit. Frickin' 2JZ suckers.

That's THE S12, not that you would know of, because all you do is finger those tiny-ass japanase exhaust tipples (tips+nipples) on yo Glorified SLOW af S13, and probably slammin' it every 2 blocks (I wAs DriFTiNG 🤓👆🏽) on a random ass grandma because she "looked at your car wierd"

Yeah, I mean coverin' yo lame-ass S13 in 17 layers of rocket-bunny plastic surgery to cover up rust spots and stancin' the wheels so low they look like they're sufferin' from arthritis, Anyone's gonna look at you wierd.

But the S12, hell yeah, Rare AF: check, Miata's Granddaddy: check, Actually good customs: check.

Toyota Soarer Z30

Now, that is True Ar-

BUt ThaT LoOk's LiKE SuPRa In A TuxEDo 🤓👆🏽

That's Supra’s refined older brother who wears a tailored suit, drinks expensive whiskey, and still knows how to throw hands if needed.

bUt-

Its got Inline 6, V8, and 2JZ options.

Supr-

Yeah not a 1500 HP undrivable stupid af I WANNA EAT FLESH kinda lookin monster straight outta frankenstein. Its got class, luxury, and power too. It aint a street fighter, sure, but its got srickin' machine guns under the hood. Wanna say anythin' shithole?

uhhh-

mmhmm

I mEAn SupRA hAS CarbOn Fib-

Yeah shut it, it ain't factory, you know it too, and nobody's gonna spend 150k on stupid ass mods when they can have a classy, sexy, JDM legend.

Mitsubishi Galant VR-4

Evo’s older cousin who taught it everything it knows. (insert proud grandpa moment here) AWD, turbo power, rally DNA — yet somehow, just FRICKIN' somehow, it’s treated like that uncle who shows up at the family BBQ with crazy stories everyone gonna take for crap's worth.

EvO LoOKs BeTteR 🤓👆🏽

Sure, but the genetics are all because of this ONE legend standin' in the parkin' lot down the tech store's basement probably thinkin' bout how ya'll rookies don' know bout the good ol' days.

Mazda Eunos Cosmo

uH ANal what? 🤓👆🏽

The Eunos Comos, dumbass.

Triple-rotor Wankel (insert side-eye) engine. Factory touchscreen in 1990. Twin turbos. It was too ahead of its time, so it got buried in the footnotes while RX-7s hogged the fame.

Tell me it don' look classt af. Sure the RX 7 looks amazin', but you got no reason to hate on this bad boi.

I mEan You'Re KinDA RigHT-

I am right.

So shut it.

Never left Japan officially — most people outside hardcore JDM circles didn’t even know it existed.

Rotary fear factor: People scared of maintenance costs and rebuilds avoided it.

It didn’t fit in the Fast & Furious drag-strip fantasy — it was too refined, too subtle, unlike some sreamin' 2000 HP builds out there (jus' sayin')

Honorable Mentions

Toyota Chaser JZX100

Four doors, 1JZ-GTE twin-turbo, rear-wheel drive. Looks like an accountant’s car until it smokes you in third gear.

Subaru Legacy RS (BC/BF)

Before WRXs ran the streets, the Legacy RS was Subaru’s rally weapon — AWD, turbo flat-four, boxy ‘90s styling. The WRX gets the fame, but the Legacy was the OG soldier.

Mitsubishi FTO

A baby sports coupe with big attitude. VR-MIVEC V6 that sang to redline, tight handling, and looks that screamed “I should be in Initial D but I’m not."

Honda Accord SiR-T (CF4)

VTEC + manual + understated sedan vibes. Pulled like a Civic Type R but looked like you were just going to pick up groceries. Perfect sleeper energy.

Nissan Leopard F31

Luxury GT coupe with a straight-six and ‘80s/early ‘90s elegance. Basically Japan’s answer to the personal luxury coupes America was obsessed with — but better.

Conclusion

What I'm sayin' is these cars deserve some love too, take away your waterin' sore eyes from the flashy hyped-up af JDMs, and put 'em on these beauties for a min, sure they don' be screamin' 2000 HP and definately don't do 400 kmh, and for sure they don't cost a million kissin' bucks. They are good lads who just got forgotten in the Rush World of flashy JDMs, 0-60 timings, and fake buffs.

Give 'em some love ya'll, give 'em some love.

Tommykaira M30Z and Styling Z32 Z wagon

This is the Tommykaira way! An officially certified complete machine that impresses with its total balance.

Tommykaira M30Z

Tomita Auto 075-461-6290

High power and total balance in a high-dimensional mixture

Tomita Auto is not bound by domestic regulations and is producing one certified complete car after another within the framework of global import cars. As a coachbuilder that mainly focuses on Nissan cars, they have already delivered 11 models of cars and have just released another Nissan tuned car, which is their specialty.

The base vehicle for this project is the well-known Fairlady 300ZX Twin Turbo. As this model already boasts high potential, the engine itself remains untouched. Instead, it's boosted by an actuator (0.8 kg/cm²), an original intercooler, a dual muffler (made by Fujitsubo), and ROM tuning, resulting in a 70 PS increase to 350 PS/5800rpm and 46.5 kg-m/4700rpm. (5spd MT).

"If it breaks, there's no point. It's not a horsepower competition."

Based on Tommy Kaira's policy, the focus of tuning is on durability rather than power, and there is no emphasis on the figure of 350ps.

As a result of pursuing a total balance of durability, reliability, and fuel efficiency, the best power spec was 350ps.

The suspension is equipped with original dampers to handle the big power, and the brakes are equipped with calipers and discs from a Skyline GT-R, with fade-resistant sports pads, so no effort has been spared in terms of brake tuning. The wheels are the familiar 17-inch Tommykaira.

The body color will be the same as the standard color, and all aero parts and functional parts (except for the seats and computer) will be sold separately, so it's something to look forward to.

Vehicle price for pick-up at Kyoto store

¥6,200,000 (2 seats 5MT)

2by2・5MT・T-Bar roof ¥6,500,000) AT specification increases by 150,000 yen

▼The side view is captivating with the exquisite matching of the aero parts. The side stripes are a testament to the Tommy Kaira.

▲ The original Recaro SR, available only to the "M30Z" complete set. This is an item you can't get except through the complete set.

▲ The VG30DETT engine has been fine-tuned to 350ps with the 5MT and 330ps with the E-AT. It is also comparable in reliability and durability.

A comfortable wagon that combines the sportiness of the Z32 with the charm of an RV

styling z wagon

STYLING 06-568-0043

All you need to do is replace the tailgate. There are even complete cars available.

The Fairlady 300ZX is Japan's signature sports car. With its flowing style, powerful power unit, and multi-link suspension, it is an internationally renowned sports car. There are many ways to enjoy this Z, from tuning to dressing up. Styling, a familiar name in software and coachbuilding, has built a unique machine based on the 2by2 twin-turbo. This styling Z wagon retains the sportiness of the Z while adding an RV-like appeal.

By replacing only the rear gate without modifying the body, the rear space is greatly increased. Of course, the rear gate is openable and can be used to load toys and luggage, just like a wagon. The style also retains the image of the Z.

This creates a rear view that is full of volume.

There are highly sporty wagons like the Capella Cargo and Legacy Touring Wagon, but it's hard to find anything with Z-level performance. I'm sure there are many people who have been wanting a wagon like this.

In addition to selling just this rear gate, Styling also plans to sell the Styling Z Wagon as a complete car. The exterior is enhanced with sharp aero parts to enhance its sportiness, and is finished off with I-Speed HRX DISH aluminum wheels. In terms of functionality, increased boost pressure and computer tuning have been implemented to achieve a more powerful ride.

The styling of the Z Wagon promises a more active car life.

Rear gate panel replacement (painting included) ¥780,000 Styling Z Wagon complete car ¥6,800,000

▲The complete car is computer tuned and fitted with I-Speed HRX DISH wheels.

▲The rear view has a more voluminous feel. The tail end is now higher, so the driver looks at the rearview mirror as if they were in a wagon.

▼The rear gate is of course an openable hatch.

It opens like a back door, so it can carry more load than a wagon.

Easy to put things in and take them out

Mazda Familia Sport 4 as displayed in the Mazda brochure for the 28th Tokyo Motor Show. Of particular interest here is that originally the car was black but they decided to repaint it red for the Show and these are the only pics I know of in the original colour.

The ultimate in road-going performance.

Familia SPORT4 (reference exhibit)

The Familia Sport 4 is a reference exhibit vehicle based on the hardware of the new Familia 4WD, and aims to achieve the ultimate performance that the next generation of high-performance cars will strive for.

Our goal was to provide an exciting and exhilarating driving experience, and we made some compromises to ensure a smooth ride and ease of handling that doesn't depend on the driver's skill level.

Pursuing the appearance of an ultra-high performance machine designed for road use

The highly rigid body of the well-established Familia has been modified with the latest technology used in cars such as the F-1.

The car is equipped with the same prepreg CFRP bonnet as the F-1 monocoque, CFRP front/rear spoilers and side skirts, and an underguard made of Kevlar and carbon fiber with integrated front/rear spoilers. The engine is an 1800 DOHC turbo. To cope with the significant power increase, a large-capacity intercooler has been installed to prepare for the harsh conditions of motorsports driving. The drivetrain is designed for extremely high potential.

It is a variable torque split 4WD based on the same unequal torque distribution of 43:57 front and rear that is basically the same as the new Familia 4WD.

In addition, the suspension and other parts of the chassis have been tuned to a high level. The cabin is reinforced with a six-point roll bar and is fitted with four full bucket seats with four-point full harness seatbelts. To reduce weight, Kevlar and carbon fiber are used throughout, including in the seat bases and meter panel.

Jiotto Caspita

This super sports car was planned by Jiotto, a company established with funding from clothing manufacturer Wacoal, and developed by racing constructor Dome. It was scheduled for a 1991 launch. It featured a 3.5-liter, horizontally opposed 12-cylinder, 4-cam, 60-valve F1 engine, developed jointly by Fuji Heavy Industries and Italy's Motori Moderni, detuned to 450 horsepower and mounted amidships in a carbon composite frame. Mechanically, it was essentially a Group C racing car, modified for road use. Its production plant was in the UK and it was planned to be sold as an imported car. Fuji Heavy Industries began competing in F1 in 1990 with Coloni, but withdrew from the sport after only eight races, never passing a single pre-qualifying round. This left Caspita without an engine supplier and it replaced the engine with a Judd V10. However, this significantly delayed the project, and with the end of the booming economic times, only two cars were produced in 1993.

Jiotto Caspita was an ambitious super sports car project, eventually disappeared into history after following the short and checkered career. With a financial support from an apparel manufacturer, a company Jiotto was set up, while the racing constructor Dome was assigned the actual development the idea was to mount a F1 engine of 3.5 litre flat 12 co-developed by Subaru/Motori Moderni detuned to 450ps, onto carbon composite frame. Subaru, disappointed by the unsuccessful results by Coloni F1 car mounted with their engine, withdrew from F1, meaning Caspita lost the engine supplier. They chose Judd V10 as an alternative power source, however, as the time of upswing economy was coming to an end, the project could not keep on going just two examples of Jiotto Caspita was assembled in the year of 1993.

Mazda TD-R concept from the 28th Tokyo Motor Show.

Breaking new ground for sports cars.

TD-R. (Reference exhibit car)

I want to experience the joy of becoming one with my car and driving freely on any road.

The idea for TD-R was born to make that dream come true.

The TD-R is not a dedicated off-road model, but rather a sports car with a new concept that can be enjoyed off-road just as much as on-road.

TD-R (prototype Model)

The TD-R was coneived to realize a desire to enjoy sports car driving on every kind of road. This is not an off-road specialist, but an all-round performer which offers fun of performance driving equally both on tarmac and dirt.

The short wheelbase, short overhangs and wide tracks make the fundamental form of the TD-R

The body is composed of a light-weight steel pipe frame and FRP outer panels. The two-seater cabin features unique gull-wing doors

Turbocharged 1600cc DOHC engine Rear Midship and Full-Time 4WD with Viscous-Coupling

4-Wheel Double-Wishbone Suspension with Height Adjustment Mechanism

A unique and functional new sports car form

The car's form, based on a short wheelbase, wide tread, and short front and rear overhangs, is authentic and reminiscent of lightweight sports cars. Its unique style, with FRP body panels mounted on a lightweight steel frame, is also striking. The cabin has gull-wing doors and is a two-seater. To ensure visibility during drifting, the cabin features a large glass surface window.

With vehicle height adjustment mechanism

4-wheel double wishbone suspension

The suspension is a four-wheel double wishbone with long arms that ensures reliable driving stability, and to ensure proper road clearance at all times, the vehicle height can be adjusted by 100mm in three stages.

1600DOHC turbo, rear midship, full-time 4WD

The drivetrain is a 1600 DOHC turbo engine mounted vertically in the rear midship. The full-time 4WD with viscous couplings that pulls the propeller shafts front and rear from the center differential in the transmission ensures extremely high grip on the road.
