general cars in 90s japan
since there's a supra thread why not everything else
doesn't have to be 90s just 90s cars

habitual reminder that the mr2 sw20 is the pinnacle of the automotive industry and every car since has been a disgrace
>>17363926
wouldn't say pinnacle but sw20 is an amazing car. I want one.

So stacefagging is actually older than I thought. And actually came from Japan.

Stance in Japan goes back to the early 80's. People used to thow on 13 and 14in wheels on and in some cases completely remove springs and weld struts in place.
https://youtu.be/aEnK4Hywj2k this video is obviously not from the 80's but the car is about what you can expect.
>>17366191
not really stancefagging, the camber is for drift cars so when they're at full lock they're completely vertical. If they didn't have any camber they would have positive camber at full lock, which is undesirable for drifting

Reminder that the Cayman is now everything that the SW20 wanted to be.

Bosozako and Shakotan style cars are secret guilty pleasure of mine. Also that horn is GOAT.
>>17363903
where can i buy that mid night sticker
>>17368153
You don't.
>>17368159
but i am in fact part of the mid night club
>>17368153
>being a fucking poser
Midnight used to to vandalize or destroy people's cars who had the sticker and didn't earn it
>>17368169
see
>>17368167
>>17368169
Was that actually true? heard that was just urban legend.
>>17368182
Was smokey in it? Always wondered seemed like he'd be the sort, plus plenty of other companies seemed to be involved in someway, Abflug has literal demo cars with the Sticker, and I've seen allot of RE Amemiya stuff with the sticker.
>>17368251
surely he was in it

I really hate when kids first find out that Mid Night Club was a real thing and not just a video game. Then fell the need to be a 'part' of it by getting slaps with the name on them.
>>17363903
dont think this counts as 90's since it was designed and produced starting in the 80's.
>>17368282
>>17368289
Like I said he'd seem like he'd be the sort because of things exactly like this.
>>17368293
Anything neat, that aligns with someone's interest is going to draw poses sadly.

Looks just like a Skyline, right?
>>17368355
Yea, it's a DR30 of I'm correct. I love these things
>>17363926
reminder that the SW20 is perfect and the amount of salt i generate by not having one can soak up a swimming pool.
>>17368169
>>17368251
They used to but Mid Night are no longer a thing so these days it's more of just a tribute.
Surely no one is going to think your shitbox is actually in a 90's street racing group that was officially disbanded?
I'm going for period correct mods.
>>17369842
I know it's still just on there as a tribute, and Well obviously no one is going to think that put putting it on a shitbox is still a pretty stupid thing for that Anon to do.
>>17369842
Doesn't matter, by putting a mid night sticker on your car now, especially a shitbox, you're blatantly disrespecting the club and what it stood for; you're spitting on the graves of your forefathers, basically.

>>17363926
I daily drove a 1991 Turbo for about 10 years. The car was a headache. but always fun to drive. I still think about getting another one but I don't think I can get myself to drive a Japanese shitbox ever again.
Things that went wrong during decade:
>hose under turbo blew out unexpectedly (hose from hell)
>plastic coolant filler neck exploded
>wires running from body to door cracked rendering the windows useless
>t-tops leaked on driver/passenger anytime it rained
>underbody plastic panels falling off
>oil level sender crapped out
>automatic antenna crapped out
>front sway bar mounts crapped out
Not too bad for a car that was >10 years old when I bought it.

Is it just me, or do the headlights on these cars look a little off?
It's as if they were supposed to be pop-up headlights but Nissan decided to just make them modern headlights and didn't bother which changing the position or shape of the headlights.
>>17371185
They are cool imo and fit perfectly
>>17371185
Yeah, they're awkward, but i think they give the car a more distinct look and feel. I kinda like them
>>17371185
Pop-ups were never considered for the Z32.
>>17371296
>muh Diablo headlights
INX
Modern photo, but I'm pretty sure it's a fairly faithful 90's Scoot RX7.
>>17372059

Weird question, is the Y plates only for cars licensed on the Naval base, or is it people originally from elsewhere in the world in general?

300zx Twin Turbo?
>>17378598
It was available either two or three rotor engine, both variants were twin turbo, and was available automatic only. When I last lived there (2010) they were hard to come by, but not too expensive (under 10k USD, prices usually settled around 6k-8k), and were commonly picked up and cannibalized for the 20B with intentions to swap it into something else.
I found none for sale on Goo-Net, and none on my old prefecture's car website either. Only one on Yahoo Auctions right now and they're asking about 20k USD.
I hope that helped.

Y plates are assigned to any personnel under the Status of Forces Agreement stationed in Japan. This applies to people from all branches of service and all contract workers who are employed on the base but not Japanese citizens.
Also, you can be a Japanese citizen and have Y plates if you have SOFA connections (ie: work on base and obtain the status) because it makes entering (and sometimes exiting) the gates go a lot smoother and you don't have to keep your car's base pass constantly up to date because the plate proves you're already certified to be on the base.

>disrespecting the club and what it stood for
being rich, buying a fast car and driving it fast at night?
I like the stories behind mid night but the only difference between them and other street racing gangs is a much larger wallet.
>>17376360
Rota has replicas of them, but I don't know what the originals are called. Look around for a bit.
