Car Shoping in JapanCar Shoping in Japan

As you all might know we do have out first Japan drift experience coming up in May and therefore we need some cars.
Now I do see cars from and in Japan everyday but it is not that easy to find that cherry on a budget.


So I was thinking about a nice D1SL car with some serious power and all the mods it could ever need.
But what about the famous wall at Ebisu Minami?
And what about the budget?
Wrong thoughts then, this would not work.

Then I was thinking maybe something unorthodox, something no one has drifted before.

Would we be gangster enough to drift a Boso machine?
Then I though about the extra short throttle, crazy aerodynamics and super wide wheels (must be a hassle to find tires)
So nooooo that will also not work.

Then all of a sudden I stumbled across a nice R34 Skyline sleeper.

This had a crazy list of mods:
2.8 rb26dett
T88 turbo
Nos
-> lots of power
But unfortunately also lots of JPY.
So another no go.

Right now as you read this I am carhunting at the auctions in Japan. Some candidates i found:


Which one do you like the most?

So let’s see what happens, I will keep you posted.

Should you also be interested in getting a proper car from Japan, then let us know. We can get you basically everything.
