i didn't know nothing about Weld bodykits... and like a designer i got REALLY impressed how they can solve a lot of "visual balance" issues on that models that i never seen at other bodykits brands! amazing!

I think since Ryusei looked after you guys so well you should return the favour and get him over to drift masters

Thank you very much for this video. Finally something different than every KZreadr who flies to Japan. It is always a repeating pattern, drifting on ebisu, life in the city and so on. It's terribly boring. When you see it again and again. You even see the same cars every time you come to Japan. Visiting Tsukuba or other tracks and showing time attack - which is an increasingly popular field - you can count on one finger the number of times someone showed it, as well as visiting such workshops. Everyone always shows what everyone has already seen and what "clicks" well, e.g. hks Thank you very much for showing these little-known places, because they usually work in silence, and the effects are amazing.

If you are used to the Yen prices over the years these cars are still soooo expensive. For the locals it must be wild to see an NA s14 considered cheap not too long ago a turbo one would have been half the price. It will be interesting to see what happens once the Yen starts to go the other way. International demand has to be keeping these propped up.

Thank you guys for these Japan videos (in general aswell not just the Japan videos) and showing us the local car scene and smaller workshops. It's awesome to see.

Always love the quality and passion that goes into every single video, possibly my favourite car channel on KZread

This is crazy!! Love seeing all these parts of Japan that nobody has really seen before. Love these types of videos!!!

This channel has the best JDM Drift history and culture iv ever seen

Dave and drift games are incredible at networking love to see it

You guys are my go-to for car media along with the boys from Donut media keep up the great work

I love this video and seeing all these different garages in Japan and the world. Love all the content yall give us ❤ keep it up.

Absolutely epic Dave!! I cant imagine being in the weld shop bro. So inspiring

this is the content we love.

this gives me hope, i sold my r32 gts4 that i imported from canada a couple years ago. i loooved that car, but for reasons too long to share i sold her. i absolutely adore the r32 gts4 body and would love to have the chance to build one (or a r33 gts4) one day. thanks for your hardwork on creating this video and channel

I love that you guys put the RC drifting stuff in there, love it!

Totally agree… I reckon one of the best or the best informative videos about Jdm life and culture.

I really enjoyed this video. Really awesome content. Shared to Facebook

This absolutely awesome the history you are showing and amazing people that are behind these builds 90% of your viewers don’t and Wont even get it

*cries in US market prices*

Love your garage tours,keep up the top notch work guys! :D

Drift Games with the fire vids and awesome japan content keep up the great work 👍

thank you so muxh for this type of video! this is the stuff we need!! motivating and helpful!

Amazing video ❤ thank you guys to show us these garages and a little more of the car japan culture 🙏

The 33 4dr is slept on.. i miss mine like crazy! Good room, good power, doesnt stand out. Mannnnnnn.

making short video is a good way to advertise the channel, great work. so much content

Really different but very interesting video guys, fantastic videos as always 👌

Wow some of those car prices really cheap compared to ones for sale in uk listed as”fresh import “ also Dave so humble I’m sure they’ve watched some of your livestream events and herd you commented , 👌👍😜

Silent Bob in the thumbnail! That’s rad!

I think you guys should definitely get a drift car made by all of these shops in Japan and then ship it to Ireland like a driftable souvenir from your trip and a car that will tell a story different bits from the shops you visited and graphics ect all from Japan ect that would be a sick car

@12:05 That's one of the sickest JZX kits i've ever seen!

Pulling the trigger on an s14 in a few months super hyped!

great video!!

Fun Fact: RC Drift Drivers are somehow like sim driver. The crazy thing is that i've done a lot of RC drifting and then i bought a miata AND a sim.. The first time i tried to drift it was so natural 'cause i knew exactly what was goin on. Also Mitto Steel was into rcdrifting AND drift (you can see in the Outsiders doc). Also Tetsujin is a RC Drift company that now has a JZX that runs in the formula drift jp.

🤣🤣 Crazy to think I bought a 180sx for £1500 ten or so years ago. Had it for about a month before the bottom end expired. I just left it where it was... never saw it again😂

Everything in Oki is overpriced due to so many US military people overpaying for everything. If it's a good price, more than likely it's a rusted turd that none of the locals will buy out there. We lived there 2020-2022.

Booters dont sell for more than 15-20k euro here really id be interested in a hatch price 😅

after my research the price felt even more, 1,6mio yen is now equal to 9.945€

The thing that sucks is being american its hard for us to find a car worth buying n having it shipped here so most just pay the huge markups that importers charge for ones already here. Like stateside Aristos n Jzx100s are 20k+

I'm a brit (who might be moving to my wifes home county of Donegal in the next 5 years) so i don't really know how the whole VRT thing works other than you guys unfortunately get screwed on seemingly everything except electric and phev cars. But Dave was saying the AE86 was €15-16.5k on the road? Do you not have to pay VRT once the car is beyond a certain age? I thought it like doubled the price, is that onl modern, high emissions stuff?

@@bigfatnick Its a rolling 30 year rule. So if you import a 1994 car next year (2024) it will qualify for classic/vintage VRT. And just something else you might want to consider, since I'm assuming you are living in the UK? You can take your car in without having to pay VRT, once you can prove to Revenue that its your own personal car, that you've owned it for a while etc. Have receipts and invoices for old MOT's, service records...You will also not be able to sell it for a defined amount of time, could be 6 months/year. I would look into the specifics as its been a while since I've dealt with that whole VRT system/payments. So if you happened to have a Lamborghini Aventador for example, you could take it into Ireland, register it and not have to pay any VRT 😉

@@driftgames_life and then you have the insanely narrow minded, inefficient, scarily overpriced, some might suggest corrupt Irish insurance industry which will bend you over and go in dry without buying you dinner first(if they did, they'd hand you the bill). Then you have SIMI (Society of the Irish Motor Industry) who have a lot of lobbying power. They largely drove the massive VRT price hikes in the mid 00's because Japanese imports in Ireland were huge from the late 90's on(not just the 'cool' stuff) and many wanted to buy higher specced, better condition cars than the local all too often "Paddy spec" versions the SIMI members were flogging. They pushed stories in the media about how they were unsafe, easy to steal etc, couldn't be traced, linked to organised crime etc. They tried similar when folks then started importing UK cars. SIMI members likely orgasmed en masse when Brexit happened. There's been a more recent uptick in Japanese imports of 'ordinary' cars and already the same media stuff about traceability and "all are easy to steal" is trickling through. TL;DR? Ireland has a _lot_ of true blue petrolheads with a load of remarkable cars in sheds and garages throughout the country, but the car industry and the government are anything but car friendly.
