It came equipped with pop-up headlights until 2002 when Honda made the worse decision ever to kill it off. This beast is powered by a 3.0litre V6 engine with Honda's VTEC system and was praised for its superb handling. The NS-X NA1 Japan's first supercar had gone through multiple tests before release and was set to rival Ferraris.

Honda NS-X | Chassis Code: NA1 | Years: 1990-2005 The FC2S and FD3S are highly sought after, with a price tag of over $100,000 in some used car listings sites. The RX-7 uses a unique turbocharge rotary engine that is now very hard to come by in other cars. Even today, the RX-7 looks so satisfying with its timeless design. ![]() The FC2S was intentionally designed to follow the Porsche 924 and 944 trend, where pop-up headlights were popular for sports cars. (Photo Credit: you are a fan of the classic Initial D series, Ryosuke Takahashi's White Mazda RX-7 FC is definitely iconic by its own right. The R32, R33, and R34 are the rarest models right now and can't be easily found on used-car websites. The Nissan Skyline is a cult favourite since it has appeared in many video games and films. But what made this model so famous was the Nissan Skyline GTR (R32), dubbed "Godzilla" by the Australian press due to its Japanese origins. (Photo Credit: thinking of Nissan GTR, the current R35 comes to mind. Without further ado, here are 9 of the most iconic JDM cars in the market today. Some enthusiasts also suggested that the increase in value was due to pop culture, mainly from the Initial D or Wangan Midnight manga series. JDM cars are regarded highly because many were ahead of their time with regards to technology and design. The 00s-late 10s were practically devoid of cars that would enjoy the kind of scene that the 90s import cars had.Īn emerging trend is the proliferation of 90s RHD 25+ year cars that have been aged-in for importation, at prices that narrows down the client base to be either the really die-hard import fan(who are willing to give up other things if they don't have access to the kind f disposable income required), or the I missed out on it during my youth 35+ crowd that now may have the funds, and time to enable such a lifestyle.(Photo Credit: Pinterest) These superb Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars are popular in the automotive scene and have won the hearts of many petrolheads. Sentras? Do people even remember the SE-R? Corolla? Will the US even get a GR Corolla that's remotely similar to the GR Yaris that's already available elsewhere? Civic? Anyone seen recent model Si's knocking on 300whp+ yet? The 90s Civic was a popular engine swap platform, don't see many 01- up SOHCs getting K20 swaps from the RSX, or better yet K20 Type R Civic builds, SOHC turbo retrofits, mild street turbo or Nitrous K20 Civic/RSXs at all. Seen any builds of any recent model import car with a build that replicates or resembles the madness of the tuner scene of the late 90s or 00s lately? It's mostly bagged, and/or stanced when it comes to cars introduced in the last decade. The jump in prices of the cars from the 90s to early 00s, as well as the lack of the type of mods that the golden age of imports enjoyed in the 00s has driven the scene out of reach for most of the younger crowd financially, and perhaps out of mind inspirationally. ![]()
