The first of a few special cars we got to shoot at Ebisu, enjoy!

This particular S15 is definitely part of a handful of legendary Japanese tuner S15's: - TOP SECRET S15 built for Ryuji Miki - KEI OFFICE S15 built for Yasuyuki Kazama - HKS / GENKI S15 built for Nobeteru Taniguchi - SCORCH RACING / Under Suzuki's Time Attack S15

It's wild how a car that old can look thoroughly modern. You can really see the bones of new car design in some of these legendary builds.

Glad to see that a true JDM icon is in such a good shape and going to be preserved. Great work!

Couldn't agree more!

Great feature Dino! Not sure if you knew but this specific S15 had won the first D1GP season and it was actually Kei Office’s first R&D S15 (yellow car) before they got the blue car (which incidentally became the 2005, and 2009-2011 D1GP championship winning car).

Besides DK Tsuchiya, NOB Taniguchi is one of my most favorite JDM pro driver, every car build he develops exudes a sense of style, smoothness and power, just like his character and driving skill! His early D1 days driving the HKS S15 and SXE10 were such iconic moments for me, would be absolutely incredible if you could feature these two iconic drift machines! This T&E kit is the best looking S15 kit in my opinion, so simple yet elegant, the previous gull wing doors looked kinda tacky though, but again such an iconic NOB street S15 that is so instantly recognizable!

I like the subtle stickers and how every person has a different style. Japanese style goes above and beyond to attention to detail because they care so much more than other people do about aesthetics

What an iconic car. I remember reading a feature on Super Street here in the US magazine along side NOB’s S14 and 180.

I’m so glad you’re not afraid to take a step back in your past content to share in video detail with us.

Great format Dino. Keep it up!

A truly timeless build in my opinion..

the hero car in Kaido Battle 1 opening!

i read it somewhere that taniguchi asked the new owner if they can keep the car as is.

I do not care, im 5 seconds into the video and im already giving it a thumbs up lol! Hopefully it doesnt get torn apart when it gets here to the states like most other og icons.

goddddd I remember buying drift tengoku magazines and ripped dvds from ebay back in 2002-03 and seeing him rip around in a red S15, not sure if this is the same but god it brings back memories

that was THE s15 way back when this was a sorta fresh build that got me into JDM cars. I always loved this thing. And I just hope it wont turn into yet another rocket bunny built... And I still hope you'll eventually find the red Tamon TDC-047 (from the old 7's day) :)

Saw this car in old drifting videos as well as in many Tokyo Xtreme Racer games

Best looking S15 on planet earth, hands down.

Just like Drift king AE86 I really like this S15 because it is super well put together even in the smallest details

Oh look. It's literally the car of my childhood.

Silvia S15 is so underrated. The true street fighter is still the Silvia

Very cool car. Any chance you could put in a spec sheet showing the parts that are on these cars? I find it really interesting looking at what parts these cool demo cars ran in the 90 and early 00s.

Is there any chance to do like short interviews with drifters like Ken Nomura, Nob or other guys involved in drifting, about how was it in the early years the competition from their perspective? Tks for the videos! Keep it up!

i had pictures of the red 180, kouki s14 & of course this s15 on my bedroom wall back in probably 2005 maybe this was my absolute dream build. I can't believe JDM supreme is getting yet another piece of Japanese tuning culture history I don't know wether I love JDM supreme or hate him lol there's a big part of me that truly thinks a majority of these legendary status builds & shop/demo cars should stay in Japan where they belong in a museum or some type of public collection say at a track on display & to run demos to inspire & motivate future generations of Japanese tuners but I really think taking basically all of most famous JDM builds out of Japan is a bad idea

@@dino_dc no doubt and I'm sure some part of me is just jealous beyond belief lol but also something I can't quite put my finger on that makes me feel like all of these legendary builds I grew up idolizing belong w/ their original owners / shops even tho I'm sure they had their reasons for selling I sometimes wonder if they realize just how iconic some of these 2000's era builds are. Like I struggle with anyone other than NOB driving this s15 or Smokey & the top secret Supra/GTR or Daijiro Inada & the Option/Jun 350z & so many others I've seen sold & shipped overseas. I do agree & am thankful that at least JDM supreme is keeping them in their original state because it's physically painful to see builds that are just as much works of art & of historical/ cultural importance as any painting or sculpture getting parted out or rebuilt like most recently the endless drag s15 by the idiot at auto finesse. And sure if I had the money would I love to own one of the builds I drooled over for years, that shaped my taste to this day, absolutely but like I said for reasons I can't exactly explain I feel I guess guilty seeing Japan loose so many of its legendary builds. I was watching an interview w/ the guy that ended up buying the HKS r33 and he said something similar along the lines of when it was finally in his possession that he had so much love and respect for build with its he felt almost guilty for it no longer being in Japan that when he dies it's going to be sent back to HKS

Why are you doing this to me Dino? 😆 Another one that sends me down the memory lane.... Sidenote: 2005 i visited Taniguchi in Yokohama (his home) together with my gf and Ueno T. I remember he gave me a NoB Mascot Charm that can be attached to a Keitai. And Ueno had the exact sameone on his Phone. That was kind of a cool moment for me. 😁
