This is a really interesting video on 3 classic JDM cars (240Z, R32 GTR and FD RX-7) hosted by Jay Leno - the appreciated values of the cars in the US compared to AUS is eye opening because in Aus, the GTR has far outvalued the other 2

What's the craziest OEM part you've seen for sale second hand? Mine has to be genuine R34 GTR seats - prices vary from $15,000 to $30,000 😮
(last pic is a set of 2 with rails for under 3k here in Australia for those not keen to spend a house deposit)

Toyota are allegedly planning to release new 1.5L and 2L engines with up to 600hp in race spec. While it's unknown what vehicles these powerplants may end up in, this does seem to indicate Toyota's commitment to Internal Combustion Engines. We are excited to more of this #toyota #engine #cars #jdm

Check out this Bayside Blue R34 GTR V-SPEC being sold by Trust Kikaku in Japan - only has 19,000kms on it. Be prepared to spend though - $315,000 AUD ($218,000 USD). This has to be the cleanest R34 I've seen for sale

Something you don't see everyday currently going through the Auctions in Japan - an 04 Commodore SS Ute with a low 51,000kms on it. Would you buy this?

Anyone fancy an #ae86 shell brand new for just $9,500? 2 catches: 1) It’s made in China and 2) you need to buy 5 of them per purchase. This could be game changing, what do you think?

@googlemaps.bsky.social vs. Waze regarding GPS speed accuracy is an interesting insight. Despite Google owning Waze, their apps are wildly different and this recent video by CarExpert showcases this. What do you think? Do you Waze or Google or something else?

What do you think of this HKS livery on this beautiful R34 GTR? While I prefer the traditional livery, this one actually looks sick - a little less busy. Sometimes less is more #gtr #r34gtr #gtrfestival #hks #godzilla

Just seen a clean R34 GT-T on auction for 5.4 Million Yen (37,000 USD or 54,000 AUD - with 100,000kms. It's a lovely example of a car, fairly stock but showcasing the unfortunate decline in affordability as they become ever more scarce. #skyline #gtr #r34gtr #nissan #import
