POV - Driving a SKYLINE R34 GTR on the WANGAN in JAPAN!

Did you hear the turbo spool when you were driving? Cool vid dude btw

[@JapboxJacob]

It's a stock twin turbo system with blow off, so you don't really hear the spool up since the turbos aren't too big, but you do hear the pshhh with the windows open 😄

First 😊 Are the cars cheaper there to buy ? Or is it a myth ?

[@JapboxJacob]

Ummmm not entirely, just dependa on how much you're willing to spend on the condition Export is the big price killer though

[@RanenPo]

Depends on what car you want. All the popular JDM enthusiast cars like GTRs, Skylines, Supras, Evos, 180sx's, Silvias, Land Cruisers, etc, not really, prices are similarly (high) anywhere in the world. But for less popular (non-enthusiast) cars like the Honda Jazz/Fit, Toyota Crown, or really any bland econobox, then prices can be quite cheap. For instance Honda Fits can be under 200,000 yen ($1,100 USD or so) at auction, Toyota Crowns are like 400,000 yen at auction (and then sold at twice the price once exported elsewhere), many generic kei vans are like 120,000 yen in running condition, etc.

​@@RanenPoI saw Toyota Prius and echos at dealerships for around $5500aud approx And with way better kilometres on them than the ones at home for $12k 🤯
