The hype will die down especially when ppl spend ridiculous amounts of money for 25 year old cars and then have to repair the body or deal with an engine that wasnt well taken care of the headache wont be worth the premium being put on some of the cars and the whole thing will implode

Japan literally has EVERYTHING. 6:57 bed dancers?!? What?!?! I haven’t seen that in YEARS over here in the states.

Look at USA R32 prices. GTRs in 2014/2015 they were 18-22k now theyre 30-35k. GTSts were 10-12k in 2014/2015 now theyre 18-22k. Theyre not making any more of them. mid 80s to mid 2000s JDM cars are the new 60s-mid 70s muscle cars. The bubble will pop but not for decades.

"it looks like a squished skyline" bro almost made me spit out my drink 😂😂😂

I've been talking with my friends about the possibility of the bubble bursting with car prices. It's a tough call. There's quite a few variables to consider. I've always kicked myself for missing the boat on JDM car prices. A lot of it is hindsight. Obviously JDM prices are driven up by the US rule eventually. Here in the UK its supply and demand. Rust kills a lot of older cars and they got scrapped. We also had "the scrappage scheme sending some nice cars to the crusher. With nostalgia, when people get a bit older and can afford what they couldn't, the demand rises. In the future, things like tax, legislation, restrictions, environmental issues, fuel types and the economy could all put pressure on the bubble. On the flip side, people with capital are still buying rare or limited number cars on a waiting list for investment purposes. Bit of a role of the dice really.

Imagine flying to Japan for that behind the scenes action.....would be so cool.

I don’t see the bubble popping. The r34 has been my dream car since I was a teen. I’m 39 now and have an 11 year old son. The r34 is ALSO his dream car now. There will always be new generations of enthusiasts that will LOVE this legendary car. With such limited number that have survived till this point I feel it will only become more of a rarity. Just my 2 cents.

If you just type in "r34 gtr record price" or something similar in a search, you'll get a bunch of crazy news headlines.

I agree to a point about the "bubble" ...but more that it will shrink but not "pop"....they will probably do like Camaros, Chevelle's etc, always wanted, but get hard to find in good shape. Myself, I would want stuff to make my own Kaido style car, and that would keep some stuff rotating for what would be wanted a bit more than a r34 etc...just my thoughts

More markets with Jdm cars like Malaysia, Thailand will start selling them, and prices will even go higher. Like 2 months ago we tried to sell a BNR34 Vspec2 for 100K usd, and the car is in Malaysia. Now sellers from Malaysia and Thailand are starting to backup their prices. Due to the demand. There’s not end in sight

It was a E92 M3 and next to the blob eye is the Hawk eye

The demand will continue to rise but specifically with clean examples of cars. Even in the states it is so hard to find clean 90s cars that have not been hacked up. The price of all Japanese cars is similar to what happens with muscle cars from the 1960s-70s

Hi Sammit just love the car Meets great stuff great channel🇦🇺✌

The Subaru "eye" that you were wondering about is called a "hawkeye" and yes you were right on the "blobeye"👍👍

Those wheels are from a Mustang 4 cylinder Fox body 👍much love from Detroit 👍 THANX Great content

Yes,the want of Japanese muscle will gradually wear off here in the states.we had the typhoon,Buick grand national, Chevy cyclone, t-type,gnx, which are icons but not many sold back in the days.

11:13 E92 M3 Sam

@7:30 the black car is a C210 Skyline. And the S30 is not just a S30 but a Z432! With the S20 engine.

The Subaru eye names are primarily for the GD chassis years of 2002 - 2007 in the US market. Starting with the bugeye with the big circle headlights, Blobeye which you correctly identified, and ending with the hawkeye that has the sharper headlamps. Each model year has minor changes elsewhere on the car with each facelift.

Are subarus big over there? Never see much of them in your vids besides those, first was blob, other two were hawk eye

Subaru models u seen: The first one is blob eye and the other 2 are hawk eye also there's a bug eye model (older then them 3) with just 1 round light on each corner hope that helps wrx base model and Sti is the uprated one.

PMSL When May randomly rips out " Oi Mateee... Why you drinking coolant?!!" Lmoooo

On the Subarus, you correct on blobeye and the other ones you ask are Hawkeye

Sammit: No. Prices are going to keep going up. Look at the prices of oldskool muscle cars in australia, in the 90's you could buy them for 3-10k now they are up around 50-100k. Glad i got my little JDM nugget in the bank :D

Epic night in Japan so sick!

that kenmeri with the hakosuka colour on it look sooo good.

Keep it up, amazing footage!!

Tons of cool cars in this one... the MR2 totally looks like it's on v6 SN95 mustang wheels by the way, nailed it. The Subarus you are asking about are considered hawk eyes, and yes the other one is a blob eye or a peanut to some.

you where right about thw blob eye and the other 2 where hawk eyes

I hope your right about the market as it’s getting ridiculous here in Australia. 2006 Hawkeye STIs are heading towards 50k.

I’d love to visit Daikoku again, unfortunately I’m tied to Okinawa for the foreseeable future. Got to enjoy the minor car scene here. It was WAY better back in 2000-2006, my first time working in Okinawa. It’s just so brutal on cars here, and such a small island.

Alright man here’s how the Subaru’s go 😂 -Gc8 we all know that haha -Bugeye is the completely round looking headlights, and the big fog lights -Blob eye is the first one you pointed out, they have longer headlights, and smaller fogs -hawkeye is the seconds ones you didn’t know! They have long thiner looking headlights with a 3 piece grill -then you have stinkeye which started the “widebody” generation of the wrx and sti. They have longer blocker headlights with blinkers on the corners -and the new generation is well there’s a few names, eagle eye, evo eye, mean eye whatever hahaha. But those look more like the evo 10s, big grill in the bumper, and blinkers under the headlights. I hope this helps a little bit with the Subaru naming, I wish I could include pictures for each to make it more clear

Wow - gotta agree, super meet @ DPA. Too many beautiful cars - I"ll take one of those, and one of those, and one of those... just like Sam I have a problem. And good idea on the hard pass, patience will allow you guys to find the right spot with the right amount of space. Good luck!

Hey Sam, 15:45 those Subaru's are referred to as Hawk Eye. Also yes that was the blob eye. GC8 (Like Bunta's Subaru) is called the Mean Eye too.

God! ❤ Japan😍 Nice vlog bro

I miss Japan!!!

Subaru: you were right about the blobeye I have one in Aspen White. The next couple in the line were Hawkeye. 02-03 : Bugeye 04-05 : Blobeye 06-07 : Hawkeye 08-14 : stink eye (08-10 narrowbody) (11-14 widebody) 15- present : Evo eye

Honorable Bunnings snag mention. Nice.

That accord wagon tho! 😍

Idk if the bubble will pop but it might slow down after the r34 gets more readily available in the states. My guess is after people get over the r34, s15 etc the hype will move to euro cars. There were alot of European cars we didn't get here like the rs4 avant.

I'm mildly surprised the warehouses are getting leased so quickly. What, is JP Post rapidly scrambling to lease every available space to store the packages they aren't shipping? 😂

16:13 damn the size of the wheels on that black GT86

Thanks for showing the MR2.

We saw what happened to all the old Porsches. People started liking the cars, everybody wanted one and now they are selling for x times the amount they were originally sold for. Rare cars will probably always be a way of investing and the lately they just realised how good the famous JDM cars are. So the prices will definitely rise

I definitely agree there is an M spec Nur here in south Australia for sale for 555k it's just crazy over priced it has 13,950k km on it but in all honestly no Nissan should be even close to being worth that much all prices have gone up here for the more rare cars

The R34 GT-R V-Spec became legal in Canada since 2014, we aren't behind time. Those cars has been here for 7 years now, we got a 15 years Law for importing cars. They're quite expensive here, I'm talking 90-100 Grand to own.
