15:40 its a blob eye the other two are hawk eyes. 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
15:50 the first car is the blobeye then the Subaru With the white rims and the silver one are Hawkeyes
Nah Americans have ruined the cars scene, can’t even buy r31 skylines for 1k anymore and people asking 10k plus for an auto r33

The worst are the older people that don’t give a shit about cars but have money to buy them to fuck other people. Really makes me resent people. It’s been a big complaint in the old muscle car scene for a very long time and now it’s happening to this generation. I saw a guy buy a Supra from auction and post it for double the next day

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.

Yeah, supply is getting worse with more owners holding on, I don't see demand dying off soon. It'll probably plateau at some point. Also people are going to see that they'll be well supported with nissan reproducing parts for their heritage models which the rb26 is one of.

@@keonerawlins5173 yeah the hakosuka and kenmeri fetch crazy prices when once in a blue moon one goes on the market. Less than a year ago, here in New Zealand a hakosuka was sold for 400k nzd. R34's have a much bigger demand right now, although not as rare, but still rare, the prices will still rise maybe reach hakosuka/kenmeri levels one day. If you just type in "r34 gtr record price" or something similar in a search, you'll get a bunch of crazy news headlines.
You're brave getting involved with that John character. He sold those lads from NZ two cars that were absolute nails, seems the sort of guy that can't be trusted.

Nah man, mayhem inc boys knew what they were buying. Jon warned them about the cars. But the cars met their budget & they decided to take the risk. Jon is really upfront & honest with his customers. If the car is junk he will tell you outright!
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
Yah for the .5 sec shot of the gto!!!
I dont think the bubble will pop, I think prices are going to stay high because there is no more supply. it will level out but there is a limited inventory and there is never going to be more

The bubble will unfortunately not going to burst. Once all the jdm cars have depleted in Japan, Australia, NZ. 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
Sammit look two years ago wanting to get a shop an now that dreams been complete with lifts to do videos am build cars just like you wanted your progression has been amazing and I started getting so deeply into the drifting culture of old school Japan back when ebisu was as you could say in its prime days it's really opened my eyes to a whole new style an community that's so almost like a family not a car community your living the life Americans like me wish they could live keep up the great work love your videos an have been watching you for years when you first started driving for Yashio factory you've came along way

Made me smile when you spotted and mentioned that Trans Am. I'm a huge fan and proud owner of Trans Ams. And yeah, that MR2 has Mustang wheels on it. As far as cars to wait for in the USA, I myself would wait for the Honda S660. I wish they would be made available sooner, I think they are cool as hell.
Nice meet there and the weather was so nice
That building was sketchy as and pretty small for two people. Congrats to you and Jeff though for taking the plunge and risk in these risky times. I am sure something will come up that fits both your needs.
That was one of the biggest car meets I have ever seen !!!! In Trinidad the last car....we call them Toyota Royal Saloon ! They came in automatic and they rode sooo smoothly !!!! Great video !!!!
I finally see a Honda Prelude 4:21 those cars are really rare too and a lot of people don’t know about them so they really don’t get that much love
This makes me happy❤️
@09:06, ive been trying to get this style into rudnicks ear for yearssssss. please sammit. get this to rudnicks ears. please convince him... hes been stock body miatas for far too long. time to evolve and progress!! he is the RICER MIATA> he needs to do it big already lol
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
Heey! Welcome!! to our work shop😁

I love the S30s bruh.. there so hard to find here in Australia and with JDM tax I’ll never own one till I’m probably on my death bed.
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!
Awesome meet!!
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.
That red datsun with black fender flares was Fairlady Z432. That is a RARE car.
Sam. The STI you were asking about is a "Hawkeye." Made in 07-11 I believe.... Still have the boxer sooo yeet the feetus.

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
just wondering do you see any Honda CRX cars ? i had a custom 88 crx and i never see them anywhere
Those are mustang wheels on the mr2 Hawkeye is the Subaru lights
Blobeyes you got it right and the one you are not sure with is Hawkeye!

The looked sufficient for just yourself but definitely a no with the condition of the roof. Love the orange RX7. Those Subaru's are known as Hawk eye. I wish when at the PA you'd show more of the cool van's like that black Veilfire.
Wheels with the horse logo in the red MR2 are '96-'98 V6 Ford Mustang wheels.
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.
id love to see a gtr familia in its natural habitat, quite the rarity.
