How did you get into Japanese cars?

[Prophetic]

Was never really into cars until sisters boyfriend took me for a drive in his Supra, was hooked from then on.

Plus I just like the looks a lot more. No domestics that I like.

Japanese for sports car

German/Euro for luxury car

I didn't say I wouldn't get the attention. Stay inside the box, stop searching around it


I am starting to dislike this forum a tad tad tad bit every time I come on here

remember how everything you say is a joke?













*on a serious note, you need to stop taking this so seriously hahahaha this thread is almost a monologue by you.

[RHDskyline]

yeah well. it was a joke haha





But on a serious note. Every thing either lead back to how I should stop making threads or how ugly my car is. Like seriously. I get it. None of you like my car. I'm sorry I can't make you guys like it


Any who. keep the stories coming

^^^^ Who gives a ****. It's your car. If you like it how it is, then w/e keep it. If you want to "fit in" with everyone else replace your hood and front bumper. It would practically look the same as every other GTS-t on here, but it would have an RB25.

The differences in your car are minimal from others. Stop taking the internetz so seriously.

you do Aaron? I havent heard that very much

Why does it matter?

As long as you enjoy it, you don't need the approval of others. It's your car and do whatever you damn well please with it. (This does not apply to V6 Mustang guy.)

With that said, I like your car and appreciate the effort put into it.

Only thing I would change if I owned your car is some better fitting wheels, and I wouldn't have painted your hood the way it is. Still a very well sorted car and would no doubt outrun many Skylines on this forum. Ignore the negativity, if the car is how you want it, leave it. I guarantee a good percentage of the owners on this site wont like my car when completed as well. Screw `em.

As for getting into Jap cars, was inspired by one ride in a friends gts-t.

When I was a little kid still, my dad had a black 85' Z31 300ZX, and I fell in love with the flip-up headlights lol (anyone notice the resemblance to my 240 ?). I think this was the car that pulled me to the import side (especially Nissan), growing up around one was a huge influence, it was really good looking, was standard, and sounded awesome. I'll always love the Z31 for that. The first FNF came out when I was 9, thought it was epic cool at the time, reinforced my love for the Supra and imports in general, that thing sounded hectic. Haven't ever really been an American car fanatic, don't know why, they've just never really appealed to me, I respect them for what they are, but they're just not my thing I guess.

i gotta say fast and the furious had a big impact on why i got into japanese cars but also this one guy down my street owned a silvia and it was amazing, he showed me lots of cars and i learned a thing or two about them so i guess those are my two reasons why i got into japanese cars

[89Baysideblue]

ive owned nothing but imports since i was 16.

Honda Civics
240z/260z/280z
Celica
Plymouth laser (if you count this as an import with a Mitsubishi engine? lol)
etc...

Then my beloved Skyline which ive thought of selling a few times but dont think i can do it. haha

I "got into" Japanese cars when our family got tired of Fords (our family brand for many years) not starting in the mornings and decided to go to the local Honda dealership and pick up a Civic. That was in 1984.

After that I had nothing but imports:
84 Civic 1500S
88 CRX
88 Prelude Si
88 Civic Sedan
90 300ZX
92 Lexus SC400
92 240SX
90 GTR
01 IS300
92 NSX
