Eh, honestly a lot of the stuff I had and worked on as a kid is now ridiculously expensive, and often priced for big budget restorers in far worse shape than we ever would have bothered with in the 80's or 90's. I mean, about twenty years ago, my s30 literally cost 250 bucks, a flatbed, a battery, and a locksmith. Sure, the motor could have been seized but I could have gotten that back in parts. :) And the dash wasn't even cracked.
I've seen a grand total of 2 real ones in the states. Not that I mind the replicas, I've seen some will stuff done to those that you obviously couldn't do to an authentic one.
@@bfdtyper That's the one thing that made me contemplate whether or not the car itself was real. In general you just never know with Japan, some incredibly rare cars have a strange habit of showing up at obscure meets and events.
That was a 427 cammer under the hood of that cobra!!! Those engines are extremely rare and extremely powerful. Japanese people do American cars better than Americans.
@@noriyaro The second car with the gumball light even had the show logo on the dash. Can't be right all the time, sorry if my comment looked aggressive, it was more surprised.
Hey Alexi, that Esprit Turbo at 14:20, besides the AE86 tail lights, it also has Citroen CX side mirrors. Which were also used by Mclaren in their early development F1's.
AC Cobra replica with a 427 SOHC Cammer engine.. be still my heart. That's one mean machine, since the 427 SOHC was conservatively estimated at 700+ bhp.
12:04 Always thrilled to see my beloved z31 300zx in such a pristine and rare trim. I dropped everything as soon as I saw the thumbnail : ) Thank you for sharing! Also the attention to detail on those Shelbys....my goodness
im JDM car fan i found ur channel like 5/6 years ago and i still in love with ur channel, keep like this .You envy me with the cars you see and test there
Love it every time you're filming when everyone's getting ready go home from these meets, hearing all the illegally tuned engines (everywhere else in the world) sputter to life and go brapbrapbrap on cold idles. Thx again for yet another super sweet video!
Man those old Mitsubishi's bring back memories. My dad was actually hired as a teenager during the first round of dealership openings in America in the very late 70's. All my baby/child pictures from the early 80's have old Mitsu's like that in the background. None are really left here in the states anymore. The only old ones people kept going are Starions of which I had one and regret selling it every day of my life. Also, I once worked for Bridgestone/Firestone and always found it amazing that in America Mr Firestone started to manufacture tires then 30 years later in Japan Mr Stonebridge (Bridgestone) did as well. Fast forward 50+ years, a world War and hundreds of different tire companies appearing the two companies merged to become the biggest tire company ever. The names sound like they were always integrated (most people think they were) but that's just a wild coincidence.
I’m in love with my z31 I just did the timing service and have been dailying it and I’m in love the digital dash and interior is a amazing place to be and it’s a lot of fun Needs coils and turbo ASAP
DarkVoltageBCA hell yeah I’m na atm I have a spare block and trans to rebuild , and a fresh terbski I’m also making a custom turbo relocation pipe and I’m thinking about selling them to all the na Z owner who don’t wanna swap everything over from a turbo Also wared you get your ecu?
The Mitsubishi "MCA Jet" (5:49) was a tiny inlet valve in the cylinder head that was operated by the same tappet that operated the main inlet valve. The idea was that the velocity of the charge coming through that valve-port would create turbulence in the combustion chamber, hence giving a better air/fuel mix for better combustion. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
At 1:28, the three wheeler is a Daihatsu according to the badge on the front and not a Mazda. Mazda did have a three wheeler which looked just like this thing.
Thank you once again for a great video! I would love to know what are the wheels on that white Sunny wagon that left while you were next to it at 07:42 mark?
Very nice to see someone preserving an S130 (280ZX) especially a Turbo model! Most people think of the 280ZX as not a real Z but love to swap the L28ET into older models. They keep the L series engine but get more power, best of both worlds. They're very desirable engines!
8:50 : "Its like early 1980 personified in a car" Have you seen a mint Celica Supra A60? Thats early 1980s personified. I know its not that exiting as a sports car, but im surprised its so overlooked with its aesthetics.Would love to own one one day.
Great video👍 lived in Nagoya from 1981 to 1984, when I graduated high school. It seems like such a small, insignificant amount of time, just under four full years; but it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. While I was much more into motorcycles at the time (cars now), this video is a great nostalgic trip👍😂
So glad to see some of your content again, is it true Mitsubishi got in trouble for making those jeeps? I’m a VW guy myself so it was cool to see some splits!
use those outer sprung walls cut down to 3 feet with touch sensors triggering different lights for how deep u go for drift competitions....instead of opaque, hard walls, lol
LMK if you found out, I was struck with a memory of seeing them, and after 2 days I finally found where I saw them in this video, but I still cant find any info on them.
I realized its a japan only thing and put all of my N5 language skills to use and searched for [旧車 テレビアンテナ] which yielded similiar tv antennas, I think the model in the video may be a panasonic TA-CA33DP
The 50th anniversary Z is goals for how I want mine to end up looking like, Pristine as all hell, though not silver! Ill keep the original brown for mine, I think.
7:34 I feel like it'd be worth pointing out that the sedan right there is a PB210 compared to the regular B210 wagons next to it. Elongated front end and longer wheelbase to fit a SOHC L series (L14 I think, may have also gotten the L16) out of the bigger 510 Bluebird instead of the stock OHV A-series. Only Japan and South Africa got these, and it (in PB110 guise) was probably the smallest chassis they raced with the the 4 valve DOHC LZ20 works engine (which was later turbocharged and powered those fire-spewing Group 5 Super Silhouette cars everyone loves like the Coca Cola Bluebird and the Skyline RS-TURBO) in
I absolutely LOVE those old school japanese little cars, got that "lil muscle" aura, some of them got sick designs. Maybe if I get a small and sporty kei car I finally can feel an advantage of being a short guy, YES!
My friends dad was the local Nissan dealer here, remember when he had the 50th anniversary Z like the one at 12:03 came out... how i lusted after that car ! We had never driven a turbo anything back then.
My aunt used to own a Suzuki Servo. They were badged as SC100GX. Her car had a black vinyl roof with a glass aftermarket sunroof. Very rare car in Europe, even back then.
this guy living all of our dreams
fistingendakenny facts
fistingendakenny get out there and live life. You can do anything you’d like
What I was thinking today...
And is so real it’s not even funny :) he’s down to earth and chill :)
Its always nice to see the old American cars being restored and used over there instead of rusting away in someones yard here in the states

They don't drive them much around, but it's sure nice to see them!
It's not for sale, i'm gonna fix it up someday
It's been three days since the last video and there's already a new one? Is this what heaven feels like?
2:39 rule of thumb is that every single one is a kit car
Yeah no legit cobra is.just sitting outside at a small Japanese meet. They are worth millions
I've seen a grand total of 2 real ones in the states. Not that I mind the replicas, I've seen some will stuff done to those that you obviously couldn't do to an authentic one.
Agreed! Unless it's at a concorse or Goodwood Revival I just assume they are all kit cars.
It was also a 427 SOHC "Cammer" engine, those are SUPER rare as well, haha!
@@bfdtyper That's the one thing that made me contemplate whether or not the car itself was real.
In general you just never know with Japan, some incredibly rare cars have a strange habit of showing up at obscure meets and events.
I had a spare 20 minutes before I had to leave for work,
This is so perfect.
That was a 427 cammer under the hood of that cobra!!! Those engines are extremely rare and extremely powerful. Japanese people do American cars better than Americans.
i actually saw one down the road from me some dude has it in a old truck bad ass
And that is f---ing sad.
Glad I'm not the only one to notice the cammer!
was just about to comment about it, thats incredible
You should get out more if you think Americans dont have nice/rare classic cars.
8:08 NO NORIYARO!! That's Seibu Keisatsu, not Abunai Deka!! Abunai had the Nissan Leopard/ Infiniti J30.
Well there's today's mistake.
why so agressive lol
Nissan Leopard was the Infiniti M30

@Sam Sonite if I remember correctly, it means good fortune in hindu.
@Sam Sonite yeah and btw us Finns used it in our fighter planes, between Finland's independance and early WW2 until it was banned.
So good to see
I just love these car show walkabouts. Back when I discovered your channel I watched them all back to back. Great to see a new one!
It really is something, isn't it?
at 16:06 the guy uses the wrong turn signal because he's not used to driving a left hand drive the same way we mess up when driving rhd cars
9:05 "Do'nt touch!" someone almost nailed it.

Dude i love these types of videos from you! Your Japanese car culture knowledge is amazing.
That Simpson episode with the tall guy in the small car "Are you making fun of my automobile"
That’s all could afford

Such a cool collection of cars! Thanks for rocking our Team Rowdy shirt!! So cool to see it out and about at events over there.
You know I've been into cars for years, and even owned and modified a few JDM ones and I still see some of these Japanese models for the first time!
12:40 that skyline looks so good
Mitsubishi Celeste is the same platform as Plymouth Arrow here in the U.S.
Noriyaro bringing that og jdm content back to youtube 👌🏾
*Alexi shows anything in Japan*
Me: AAHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Thank you for filming that AW11, they don't get the love they deserve
I've put a 4A-GZE in my '98 Toyota Avensis. Amazing engine for its age.
i just love the look of those boxy old japanese cars like laurels and cedrics
Best era ever!
At 5:45 , the Mitsubishi Celeste was also sold in Australia as the Chrysler Lancer Hatchback
910 Datsun bluebird wagon, b12 sunny,260&280 cedics oh man nice to see them still in japan streets
I love learning about those old Japanese cars ! They are often so unusual and have a certain character to them. Thank you Alexi !!!
I love seeing older people checking it out too!
Killin' it with the vids lately. Keep it up!
First time ive seem my fav car in a mainstream thumbnail and it makes me so happy. (Z31 if hes changed it)
Same. Love the Z31
0:38 The Camaro was also in the Tokyo Sunday cruise in a Hakosuka -video.
That little Mazda carol is like a squished Ford Anglia!
I’m in love with my z31
I just did the timing service and have been dailying it and I’m in love
the digital dash and interior is a amazing place to be and it’s a lot of fun
Needs coils and turbo ASAP
Sadly underrated and forgotten. I have an '86 Z31!
Brandon Andrews hell yeah I’m about to do a build on it “ finish it lol “after I’m done with the s13 on my channel
85 z31 with a very limited production rear wing and all options except leather

Used to hangout here almost everyday when I was younger! Man I miss it
15:12 we have SO many of these in South Africa and they are very over looked. I love the boxy shape of this Nissan Sentra.
Good to see another South African in the comments 🤣
That bright blue interior at 10:28 is nuts. There is no way that came factory right?
We have a lot of Mitsubishi Celestes in the Philippines NoriYaro. Back in the 70s, it’s one of the most famous drag racing cars in the Philippines
Great video. Btw the 2 door hakosuka also had the low fender line like the 4 door, but most people cut it away to put flares on.
I am super stoked to see all the awesome cars that are in Japan. R31 are one of my favorites and I love all the kei coupes.
Wow so many amazing cars. Many of them I'm seeing for the first time. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
Never knew the esprit had 86 tails, you learn something new everyday. also that c35 on watts is epic
That band in the background reminds me so much of the first Kill Bill movie, Japan is a fantastic place for sure !
Fun fact: The 84 300zx 50th anniversary was only a US model. Japan oddly enough didn't receive it.
Quite a rare car.
Thanks for the video Nori!
That’s a 50th Anniversary Edition Z31 300zx. I got an 86 but man, that car looks so fucking perfect. 💯💙
I have an '86 300ZX base.
