The Greatest Collection Of JDM Tuner Cars Ever?!

There exists, in an anonymous industrial estate near to one of Britain’s major airports, an Aladdin’s cave of JDM wonder.
It’s called HJA (Harlow-Jap-Autos) and is run by two brothers who have grown it into an internationally renowned business that imports specialist Japanese models to the UK.
You’ll find Imprezas, Evos, RX-7s and Supras inside, but HJA’s bread and butter is the Nissan Skyline GT-R. There’s always a full spectrum of R32, R33 and R34s on offer, from untouched standard cars to outrageous tuned models built by some of Japan’s premier tuning houses.
When Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford visited, there was also a rather special NISMO CRS, Europe’s one and only, with a price tag not far shy of seven figures. Look but don’t touch, Tom…

R34 Best Nissan Skyline GTR 🔥🥇🔥💪🤌

[@nogame94]

400r...most skyline fans dont really consider it one of the greats as mentioned but i like underdogs and to me being the first all out nismo product in the gtr family really makes it the OG in my opinion. (late edit) if we leave the hakosuka out of this then id say the 400r is the OG.

[@madmike5144]

Z-tune or CRS, but that autoselect GT-R "yellowshark" is my dream looking skyline GT-R 34, the ones they built GT-R 34 are mental and looks epic

[@MrCraigReynolds]

Got to be any of those Skylines 👌

[@abingeorge3798]

Friends racing r34. Simply an outstanding build! For depth of detail to these cars are produced people undersell the time, effort, R&D tunning it takes to make it drive flawless. When you take into consideration of everything, these cars are a bargain and pretty much run rings around any mordern day supercar.

[@BlueDirector]

i could die happy in that room

[@jaughnekow]

Gimme a good camera and I'm satisfied

[@OMGitzEDD]

[@pauldownsyuen8493]

That red R33 was awesome! Can't overlook a good 33

[@m-ok-6379]

GTR built by Mines, Top Secret, or Nismo are always a keeper.

[@STAG162]

thank you so much for not leaving the JDM guys out in the cold. I'd appreciate it if you could find some of the 80's JDM cars as well, because so many people get stuck in the 90's and stay there, like the GTRs and JZA80s.

[@ShortFilmStudiosLN]

Enjoyed the video and Tom Ford was, as always, brilliant and hilarious. Thank you Top Gear ⚙️

Goosebumps heaven

[@timbonfield3589]

Unpopular opinion...as cool as GTRs are the prices are now just not worth the product, even the special ones are just not that special, just because it has a carbon oil cap and a gold cam cover does not make it special. Its just a nicely tuned GTR no more no less.

[@redeyerob2176]

Nismo tax that's why, i do agree with you though, i have loved Japanese cars since the mid 90's but have started to loose interest due to the stupid prices they are now getting to, one of the biggest draws for me was the affordability for performance, the cars just aren't worth the prices people want for them these days

[@mikmillerrealtor4491]

I think the price people are requesting is due to the nostalgia aspect for those of us from the 90s era, jdm tuning was the pinnacle and some people are willing to pay to own apart of that history. You have to just think of it as art at this point.

[@user-ht4kp7py2c]

Buying a car that you have no idea about for over 100000 when you can buy better cars nowadays is crazy.

[@carltonleboss]

Gotta love the R34.

[@_miffy96_77]

Just as I was thinking this collection could do with a 400R it shows up on the screen in front of me. Great collection and would be really hard to choose one from all of them.

[@davidjohnrees]

Fair play, Wookie, this style of upload rivals a Chris Harris or Harry warehouse walk around. Hearing you sharing your impressive knowledge was very enjoyable. More of these, please. 🙏

[@devd6373]

Yep glad to see them go down a different stylistic route to the rest of car youtube. Fair play to them

Holly molly! That R34 with the 35 engine, is surreal!

[@bluetitan20]

I still have a poster on my wall of that Sunline Racing R34. I remember watching a very early video of it taking lumps out of the Tsckuba track and setting record times...the noise out of it and its dump valves!!! Oh Lord. I would love to spend an hour or two looking/drooling around that showroom. Just a real pity you need to be a millionaire these days to get hold of the keys to some of the Skylines. For me, the ultimate R34, apart from the latest CRS cars and the Z-Tune, is the Mine's tuned cars. They are just next level altogether.

[@AlexReyes]

awesome video

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Oh wow 😳 that's an awesome collection of JDM cars there! I'd definitely take that V6 R34, so cool 😊👍🏼

[@AVV_Beats]

Loving these secret stash videos. Proper geeky stuff.

[@costafilh0]

I would definitely have a small collection of some Skyline and GTR models! All stock looks, with minor mods/restomods to make them better. Nothing as extreme as those, but this is how I would build them!

[@costafilh0]

1971, 1976, R33, R34 and R35.

The Top Secret R33 - I remember having the issue of Max Power with this and the Top Secret Supra as the feature. Both blew me away as a kid and that R33 is the reason why the 33 would be my choice of GTR.

I have been following their social media for years. Sadly for the seven years I was in the UK I always struggled with money and could not afford a proper JDM car. I now live in a country that is not very RHD friendly, and my LHD STI simply do not scratch my JDM itch well enough.
