Sadly the car community is starting to pop off and jdm cars will star going for thousands more and the car community will turn out like the sneaker community
Bruhhhhhhhh
@@cm392 am I speaking facts ? What happened with Travis Scott I think he just made a music video with jdm cars not to long ago, now everyone gonna hop on the trend and fuck everything all up especially the price
@@6av1d8 that’s exactly what i thought about, the one with the rx7 etc somebody a while back said they made it too popular so ig they were right smh sad
facts
Ikr. I fell in love with that black s13, until I saw the price. I'll just stay with an automatic s15 instead
These cars aren’t even worth it anymore. The USA made prices skyrocket. 10 years ago you could get a gtr for 12-15k in Canada.
I think about that a lot now that R33 GTR's are common in my country mint condition examples are the equivalent of R35 GTR's. personally I cannot justify the driving experience of the R33 for the Cost of a R35
The white CKV36 out front of the building, that he didnt mention, is the way to go (aka G37 Coupe). Or a nice Z.
@@icedoutshef prices shot up pre covid. Was looking at a manual jzx110 fortuna around 2 years ago. Before covid you couldn't even get an auto irv for the same price.
@@michaelgreco4813 I mean if your in the market for a r33/35 you most likely will be able to through another 40k at it to make it fast which is why I would pick a r33 cause when those cars are built properly man you cannot beat it
Yep.. totally correct. I was getting a Vspec NUR for 20k.. You could get a 1992-1993 FD for $2500-3500 in decent shape.. not anymore thanks to these markets that have opened up and to the kind of prices that are being charged for in the US & Australia
Passed over a nice Z32 300zx too... But that was super clean
IKR IM SO MAD THAT HE PASSED THE 300ZX
No price on it
@@Cyaotic u can do a walk around atleast 😪

I Dont know if i can watch your videos anymore after passing up a Z32 TwinTurbo! COME ON SAM!!!
Right with u and he skipped the r33 but looked at dumb shit no one with sense would ever buy
It's ok, I still won't be able to afford a JDM car even after the market becomes normal again ;D
if you say that it will be your reality. change your thoughts and words and work hard. save and dedicate you'll be sooner or later able to own your dream ride.

@shinobu you got it! I have 2 jdm cars, work hard and itll happen my dude
$30,170 for that 180sx type X here in Australia. Damn.
It's not a type x, as a former owner of a real type x, that was just a kit.. Proper type x has sunroof and digital dash / heads up display and different fenders / flares. Interior also doesnt have the standard type x markings or trims.. Sorry not a type x just a kit..
John Doe not true at all, there is no difference in the fenders.
Too much bro
maybe 5000 in japan
These prices seem pretty damn high
Speedstar lmfao😂
Thanks Sam for the updates.
When I think that I almost bought an 200sx two years back for 1500€ in Slovenia but with no more place for an additional project and 2 kid's and I wife I was rather going safe. Until today I am still banging my head against the wall because I made the wrong idea 😢.

@Stan Smith In fact I always somehow managed to search for an appropriate BMW. But I will try to get an rear wheel drive Jaguar XJ V8 build from 1997 to 2002 and make it an automatic drifter 😅. Weight reduction is therefore a must and a tow hook is already mounted on the Mondeo ST220 to tow the drifter 😎.
there is a autech stagea on sale in austria for a reasonable price (plattform: willhaben.at)

@@scerrow8329 Thanks I know it already because I am using these carsell platform all the time 😅 . If I wouldn't spend so much money already a would definitely buy it. Let me think, in one year I already bought roughly 80% of all my new project cars except the Mitsubishi 3000 GT, and let me tell you the bank is not happy at me in the moment 🤣.
ayeee a fellow 3000GT (GTO) owner!
The easiest way to remember Japanese Heisei is to add the H number to 1988, e.g. 1988+H14 = 2002
Black 180sx - that's not an auction sheet but a 3rd party report, XX is panel replacement on the rear left and front right not paint blemish. Notice the A2, those are scratches, U1 is a dint on the roof and W1 is wavy paint. It has accident damage.
Silver s15 - R Grade does not mean it has to have been in a large accident but due to insurance being involved, a panel respray will acquire a R Grade and so will a car with fender/guard/body modifications that has never been in an accident. The 3rd party report is showing the bonnet was taken off/replaced. It's a Spec-R not a Type-R.
Purple s15 - As Above, the R Grade could be due to body modification and not necessarily an accident, the front guards are aftermarket hence the XX on either side of the 3rd party report.
Red S15 - R Grade again could be due to heavy body modification. Those are not auction reports...
Stagea - looks like a 260RS, the one with GT-R running gear
Bro you from Japan?

2jz engines have jumped a grand or 2 in the last 6 months.
We’re 1800 now their 3500
@@kevinmorelikekevout3639 look at the vvt-i ones on ebay the are like 5-6k
Classy S-Chassis from what I have seen you are right but I know places like jdm or Orlando are selling them for about 2500
this hurts because the same is happening to 1jz's aswell.. had to sell off an A70 supra project i had because i could not for the life of me find a good 1jz under 3k anywhere near me up here in the northern states.
sidsyz85 from what I have seen to get good prices on jz engines you have to go down to Florida or California areas to pick it up than drive back and maybe make a trip out of it

Worst thing is he owns one!!!!!
In Australia there is a 200sx spec s going for 50k and crazy prices like that, contemplating importing an s15 cause the prices here are just so unjustifiable
Welcome to the p plater tax
The prices went up a lot after grey imports were banned. Now most of the manufacturers don't even produce in Australia anymore, they should really lift the ban.
I KNOW WHAT ITS WORTH. NO LOW BALLERS.
Absolute wankers.
@@fiisho P platers can't even drive them. These guys are the same sad cunts who bought all the stock of masks and hand sanitizer and sold them for a stupid amount and called themselves self made. wankers

I'm from Australia, and these are basically dream prices 🤦🏽♂️ I remember growing up wanting to buy a supra (back in 2010, going for around $10k-20k)... Now they cost $60k + !! 93' SZ with 170, 000kms Manual going for $80 000 AUD 😩 Guess it'll just remain a 'Dream Car' 💔
Grade R also can just be “modified “ .... , doesn’t always mean it has been crashed !

Yep i imported a perfeect Sileighty Type R because its a conversion...
Grade R not Type R ...lol
Grade R can be anything that has even had a good swooped on it... Doesn't mean accident damage
@@the_JDM_fanatic can also be a cluster change.
Some auction prices have been absolutely nuts lately, so they're definitely skyrocketing depending on the car
Low km r33 gts25-t 3 milion yen
Really appreciate these pricing update vids, Sam!
Honestly once COVID kind of dies out we should start seeing the prices go back down. In Aus, s15 owners truly believe that their cars are worth 50k+ and its fked
Covid has nothing to with this, you can still import cars despite covid.. Prices will only continue to soar in price as the states are becoming legal and more sought after.. Jdm is high demand and little supply.. Sold my Type x a while ago now good deal
@@JohnDoeC78 Well clearly you don't know the impact Covid has had on the economy.
@@LucaBrasi125 oh really? Didn't know 17yr olds knew so much about the economy.. How's your mortgage going? How's your job?? Hmm? Mate you've got nooo clue, the demand for these cars has always been high, esp here in Australia, and now thanks to our laws CHANGING HERE, we can no longer import anything that's not 25 years and older.. But go ahead do your fortnight shuffle. The states have now allowed all the cars we've had forever and Japan is running out of jdm cars which everyone is buying.
Spec r 1.8 milion yen in Japan + shipping costs + custom fee 5% + compliance costs + taxes = $35000 in Australia
"Im not going to lie" I like that CKV36 sitting out front. I learn more from what it is NOT said on these vids than what IS said. btw none of those Z's are HR. HR's have a hump bonnet.
One of those Zs had a R35 bumper
im sure modded cars are more normal than stock cars there
@@alexander1485 yeah
And none of those Zs were HRs you can tell because they have no bulge on hood ...plus HR has dual intakes so pretty easy too tell even if engine cover is on you can tell ,,,Its easy two intakes eqauls HR single intake is DE or RevUp
I lived in Japan back in 03 and I had I a 1990 r32 GTR. I paid $4,500 for it and absolutely loved it. I moved back to the States shortly after and have been waiting patiently for the 25-year rule. However the prices are just crazy! In the beginning R32's were going for around 25k. I thought I would wait and the price would come down but now they are up around 35k! FML! Fingers crossed they will come down in price one day.
$4,500?!?! Damn son!
I can’t wait to go to japan for the sideways experience
that moment when youve wanted an s13 forever and the prices gap your wallet

Hi Sam, looking to import an Evo 5 GSR to the uk soon, love these videos you do and would really appreciate it if you can hit up a place next video with a spot selling some evos? Just to show the condition and retail prices compared to what I’ve been quoted for import. Cheers mate
How is it going with the evo? 😊
There is a Evo 5 GSR right now selling in UK with no rust at all in mindblowimt good condition for about 18,5k£ but its expensive i dont know just to help you i could give you the link too i cant afford it anyways
Video content request: Japan shops take used cars, convert them to left hand drive and sell them to lhd markets like my country of Cambodia. I'd like to see the shops that do this and the quality of their workmanship.
I would prefer walking around that car lot. It was always my dream seeing all those cars ❤️
Man, that Midnight Purple S15 reminds me of my friend's Prelude (The last year, as the model code currently eludes me). Basically, the dealership tried to rook him because he had a body kit and rims on it, so they went on and on that they could only sell it for $4k. He later went back to sign some papers for his RSX that he traded it in for... And saw that they were selling his Prelude for $12k and using "Custom bodykit and rims" as the selling point to charge three grand more than what his car would normally go for.
"XX" means that particular panel HAS ALREADY been replaced. "X" would mean NEEDS replacing.
Thanks for going through what the label says was helpful, occasionally looked at car yards I Japan and it was a bit hard to work it out. Cheers!
Thats what I have. A V35 Skyline 350GT
Same with the red s15. It has the x marks on front fenders, hood and bumper parts of the diagram to show that those parts have been replaced. Doesn’t necisarily mean it was in an accident.
These videos are very interesting. I like the mix of content you have been doing. And good luck in the big comp coming up!
Crazy to think when I was learning to drive 8 years ago s13/s14s were £2000 r33 skylines for £3000 and now look 🤦🏻♂️
I remember in 2014 r34 skyline was like 7-13k before being exported now it’s ridiculous
So glad i got my FD there in atsugi for only 7500 bucks! Nothing was run with it! My buddy was very generous!
Dammm glad i picked up my 34 sedan (manual/turbo swapped) for 9grand AUD 2 weeks ago.....
The red s15 is badass, respray, new headlights and new wang will bring it back to life
That Stagea is a 260Rs Autech, the gtr version you talked about Sam, it was the only series 1 Stagea that came as manual. man i would love one, i've got an S1 R2four Stagea and i love it, but the Autech would be the dream for me
Hell yeah man same here🤘😎🦄
Sam, the easy way to tell a DE vs HR 350Z is the DE is single throttle body, HR is dual throttle body you can see the dual/single intakes even with the engine cover on, also, the DE has those two "slits" going down the hood, wheres the HR has a "bump" or raise in the middle with no slits. Google some pics you'll see what I mean. Super easy way to tell.
Wow the z32 gets no love 😞😌
right😔
Such an interesting business model. How are they staying afloat not selling inventory. Guess I have to buy the dip after covid when there will be an over abundance of inventory and plenty of selling competition.
Uhm no, COVID has nothing to with it, these cars are so sought after now the supply and demand is out of whack.. Everyone in the USA wants one now and prices are adjusted..
The prices changed a lot since Okachan was there with his used S15 comparison video! Many more modified S15s as well.
Sold my 180sx 13 years ago for 10k. Sold my s14 12 years ago for 12k. Sold my S2000 8 years ago for 18k....I'm crying. (AUD btw)
Easiest way to check if a Z is a DE or an HR: if the hood has 2 lines going down the middle it’s a DE. If it has a bulge hood, it’s an HR.
23:00 that's a 2+2 so values are lower than 2 seater versions. It's likely 1976 model if its showa 51.
I feel like the prices have inflated because of the lack of modern inventory
I think prices will keep climbing then level, not likely to come down much since its a supply thats not being produced and lots of demand in US when they become legally importable
"there's some pretty unique cars here"
*walks past a Fairlady Z32 and points at station wagon*
"we have this stagea"
European Petrolhead's JDM Dream's shatter immediately watching prices of japanese cars. Prices for some JDM cars look like this: S15 Spec-R 35'000$, R33 & R32 GT-R's 60'000$, Turbo Supra's & R34's 70'000+$ and there's an OEM Supra with 22'000km for 150'000$ and an R34 Midnight Purple GT-R for 120'000$. But yeah, i'm from Switzerland and these cars are extremely rare😅
People need to realize it all comes down to how many cars and engines are available. With how many are being used in Motorsport or your normal enthusiast with a build in his garage.
These parts and cars over time end up broken or crashed. That takes more items off the potential market. Over 20-30 years, that’s a quite substantial amount
That means the price will only keep going up, if you can find a deal now and hold onto it for a bit. You may not regret it financially down the road
Sammit an idiot
I'm a American muscle car guy. But its still really cool to see how the Japanese do it. Thanks.
"Always sometimes trick me...." ??
You've been spending too much time with Ruddy..
In spain any random mx5 NA, NB, cost around 6000€. Same thing happens with any car a little bit "special"...
For anyone wondering, Heisei 1 is 1989 and runs up to 2019 which is H31. That would make the MNP S15 a 2000 model. You can figure the rest from that info.
bro, you walked passed the z32 like you didn't even know it was there.
20:00 that looks like a 260rs Stagea. So the GTR wagon. Rb26 etc.. it has the body kit + wheels to be 1. So likely is.
The Z in the garage is a year 1976.
H33 is actually is hypothetical because it would be 2021, but actually, it is R3 year
So this means it is the shaken expiration date...
Glad i imported all mine back in March...Makes me feel pretty good...And prices will not drop until the market dissapears and thats gonna be a long long time from now..As all the young men in USA, Europe, UK, AUS, want these S chassis...Its how it is and how its gonna be for at least 10-15 more years until these young men grow up make enough money too cure this itch for these the prices will continue too rise...Im a car importer a car dealer of sorts... I know the market and JDM cars are on Fire...Right Now and will continue too be for a long time...
Great video man keep up the great work 👍👍👍
That Stagea was the Nissan GTR model.
All the stagea GTR models, the front bumper sticks out 100mm under the headlights.
Where is the best place to find car sales online in Japan? I would love to import 260RS to Australia but there isn’t many around. There is like 2x online in Japan.
I want a 350z as my first car there’s a lot of them in Canada where I live most of them only cost 10 K and have 70,000 km and plus it’s my dad‘s favourite car so he’s fine with me getting one when I’m older 😁😁
I'm one of your biggest fans I love your channel bro quick question you should do one episode with the Mazda RX-7 and rx-3 with the pricing and everything
There's so many s15 I want one 😂
I’ll be going to Japan next month, I’ll be there for 2 years can’t wait to see the cars and what’s around ! I’m excited
8:17 sam you have to understand it's a type x. That's the most sort after s chassis. It is going to be more expensive.
It's not a type x, as a former owner of a real type x, that was just a kit.. Proper type x has sunroof and digital dash / heads up display and different fenders / flares. Interior also doesnt have the standard type x markings or trims.. Sorry not a type x just a kit..
John Doe nope your wrong not all type x come with a sunroof I own a type x and it dosent have a sunroof the sunroof was something you could of ordered them with out they also don’t all have head up Display and all have the 180sx type x has 180sx on the seats
@@jordanneumann9467 what is your trim code, and plant code? These numbers don't lie
John Doe KLO G and plant x
Type X isn't the most sought S chassis lol
Sam with a previous accident history some insurance companies will either up the premium or refuse to insure the car, also this now applies to modified cars well that is the case in the UK.
sammit has an infinte bucket list like mine
I keep watching the background trying to find an 88' 200zr. Still haven't. 😂😂 Gotta get me one of those.
Check yahoo auctions JP has two right now one for 8k and one for 16k usd get in there and check it out
@@Snowaccord_203 shoot man. Thanks! I'll get over there now!!
That Suzuki Wagon R way more cheap than in my country!, really what a heaven
XX means panel replaced. A car may have panels replaced but not receive an R grade if there wasn't an insurance claim on the repair.
I remember when I brought a 92 200sx in dolphin blue for £350 ,best car ever but now they are around £5000.
Great video as always, Sam. ...I started importing parts roughly 5 years ago and start importing vehicles about 8 months ago. I have been wanting to import vehicles for over a decade and have been watching the market since about 2002..
My point...Car prices have definitely changed. R32 GTRs used to be $6,000...but you can't go back in time and it's not just America's fault. All the cars we (worldwide car people) are going on 20+ years old and they aren't making them anymore..If anything, car prices will continue to go up over the years. Americans who complain about American prices, or prices in-general, don't know what all goes into it. You have importing fees, shipping fees, dealer fees, business location expenses/fees, plus the competition of everyone buying these cars around the world, not including JAPAN itself as these were only made in Japan (for the most part) and Japanese people want them too lol..I do agree that some importers are ripping people off though with what they're bringing in. :/
It's sad but that's just the way it is. You can still find good deals through private party sales but prices will also be higher in the states due to those fees above + most importers know they can jack the price up for something basic. A super basic automatic R33 GTS (non turbo) is $11,000 full titled in my state. haha
ridiculous...
Look at 70 1/2 Z28 Camaros. They used to be practically given away in the 70s and 80s and even in the 2000s they were ~$20k cars. Now they're $50k cars..Same exact thing with Acura NSXs. They were $25,000 cars just 10 years ago, now they're $50k++. The way I see it, there's no better time than now to buy the car you want as prices will either never go back down in price, continue to incrase in price, and they won't make these cars ever again and will continue to increase in value DUE to being crashed/etc.
easiest way to to tell if the 350z motor is HR is it will have dual intakes instead of single
The double X on the 180 auction sheet means panel replacement. Likely someone replaced the rear centre panel with a later model one xtype or something. Common mod.
Paint blemsih would be noted with a mark. X means this panel/part replaced (could be from damage or could be just a modification - like a GTR bumper on a gtst etc). As you said. If it was accident repair it would usually be grade R though some cars with small repairs will still get a 3-4grade.
Japanese year Heise 12 is 2000 Hope's this helps y'all out.
And Sammit keep up on your drift dreams brother i truly believe you will be a pro FD driver in the nxt yr or so...Your as good as alot of the pros already.. # "Never Give up, never surrender ,Never say die"!!!
Years ago I imported a EK9, DC5 and AE86 to the UK for my own personal use. The EK9 and DC5 were never available here as official domestic cars and the AE86 being 20+ years old were next to impossible to find at sensible money. At the time it was 180-200yen to the pound which made it financially very good to import from Japan. Broke even when I sold the EK9 after driving it for a couple of years and made a bit of money on the DC5 and AE86.
These days its completely pointless importing from Japan. The exchange rate is awful and any cars under 10 years old are now a ball ache to get road legal and registered. If its a car thats readily available in the UK then its actually cheaper just to buy the official domestic version.
One regret I have is selling a GTR33 I had. Paid £14000 back in 2004 from a private UK seller then sold it 18 months later for £12000. Now they sell for £60k+.
The problem in the USA is supply and demand... there's an R34 GT-R in New York City right now being sold for US$125,000. The R32's and R33's are currently going for about $40k-$50k for GT-R. You don't find many GT-T, or GT-S, etc. That last S15 I saw in the states was asking for $65k. It's kind of ridiculous.
Also... keep in mind that 2024 will legalize import of R34 and S15.... so after that the bubble is gone.
If it a gtr v spec
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Hi can some of these cars be converted to Left hand drives before shipment there? Any idea of this and some price ranges?
Imma start using that saying now "chop em"
this is why I shifted my dreams from BNR33 to lesser ECR33
It depends on what you want to get. If you don't get a very sought after JDM car, they are very affordable.
That midnight purple Silvia was pretty nice. Tastefully done.
Those 3 spokes on the red crashed S15 are called Advan SA3R :)
Hi Sammit just love it when you go and look at cars keep it up great drive yesterday🇦🇺😉✌
It used to be that the used market always had a fresh influx of the older models, because of course a newer model was just around the corner, which kind of kept older platform prices in check. Now, assuming you even get a new model once in a while, they're nowhere near the legendary status or have much room for upgrades anymore.
I also believe the bubble will burst at some point. I'm not sure how. I'd say when the cars get less supply they will still climb. It would take something else to make the bubble burst. So, not sure i agree with you when you say "once the U S don't have anything else to wait for, prices will come down" The demand will be greater surely with less available cars for sale. On the flip side, maybe export business in Japan will suffer. The emphasis may change on car type that are exported. Disclaimer, i have no crystal ball :D and these are just my thoughts on this.
That S15 that's 238 had the bonnet replaced, radiator support replaced and cross member replaced. Was looking at it online but importer thinks might not pass RAWS.
Bro. Is there a hidden Cefiro yard. ? A31 are rare here in oz as you know. How popular were and are they there? Not seen many at the car meets you’ve shown us. I’m pretty curious because I have a couple, a missile that’s pretty banged up and my daily. There were a fair few here Gold Coast but numbers have dropped now. AU falcons are the flavour of the month here.
The "my missus told me to sell my car" prices as well lol!
"I know what I got"
Etc
I’m loving the Stagea and the E34 ALOT!!!
Stagea is definitely a great daily, would recommend them!
I'm just glad I got my 93 rx7 before it's prices go insane
for 350 with HR engine u can see a "shield" or superman logo shape n the front hood if there's a flate shape on the hod its a single intake VQ engine.
He went passed the white 300 Z. I would like to know how much that was.
Keep these vids up i wanna be reminded of japan.
That 180sx is not 10 years older than the S15. It’s a late model H9 / 1997 180sx, the S15 next to it is a 2002.
