![]() The term “Affordable” now means paying 6-7 figure money for what is essentially basic performance of a 300hp car. If you’re looking for performance out of the box from these JDM cars, I hate to burst your bubble, but you ain’t finding it without taking your expensive JDM to the next performance level. Anything below 4000rpm, an R34 feels pretty slow not just by today’s standards but even back in the mid-2000s in comparison to the equivalent in-line 6 of BMW’s S54 engine. If you’ve owned or driven a stock BNR34 with it’s RB26, you will realise that the car feels heavy, slow, and honestly pretty clunky and gutless to drive. They’re all the same – the market has lost it! ![]() Skyline GTR 34 V-Spec II Nür going for RM2 million. I’m writing this right now because things have gotten a little too crazy. It’s brought a whole culture to the world through automotive and this made the experience of owning these cars different, and ultimately defined the way we love our cars today too.

I’m utterly disgusted by how the market has gone completely upside down in the last 12-18 months.
