Appreciating Japanese performance cars

[ODB]

Yeah i know we all appreciate them....but im talking value here.

Ones i have seen over the past few years:

-Nissan 180sx type X

-R32 GTR

-Any old rotary Mazda

-Most RWD Toyotas, particularly the ae86s

-RX7 series 6 and 7

What else you guys got??

Is the GT/RS legacy about to be added to this list? Seems like it might be!

[WRXER]

I do agree with the ol Legacy Rs getting on that list, especially with it's rally heritage.

[D-Style]

Ive seen a few mazda GT-X/GT-R/GT-Ae prices getting back up. The odd GTi-R aswell.

EVO III and EVo 0 always seem to hold there prices too

[Guest boostcut]

not that theyre my fav cars but s2000 and supra also should be on that list.

[nt_a_foz]

Yeah tidy EVO III for sure..

Probably in 10years a tidy STI coupe also given they not so much dime a dozen as your 4 door counterpart and most will be stacked by some useless fucks who cant drive no doubt...like the older turbo cars we have none left of

They seem to have one small problem, I cant say I have ever had one brake but the center diff is ment to be the weak point

I owned a silver and purple one with 18" valuts when I was 17 ;D

[Guest]

2005 nissan skyline bnr34 gtr z-tune ;D , favourite car of all times !

[Guest boostcut]

Yea I have seen build number 51 and 52 side by side of the first MR2's at a car yard in nelson, They were white and still had the factory mags

They wanted 12k each!!!

[slystiguy]

for 12k id rather a good car haha

I'm with you!!

I understand if you can keep if for a few years then sell it making a profit but with a MR2 will just rust away ;D

[ODB]

yeah Evo 6.5 for sure. Still seem to be sitting about 25k.

Supra turbo i guess.

NSX...mean car would love one!!

[madmike]

Isuzu Piazza Turbo FTW!!!
