One of my favorite events in Japan. 👍👍

Very great video👍🏻 I am a big Nissan fan

Not gonna lie, i kinda like the new skylines wish they came to Europe/Scandinavia

The close up shot at 8:53 is the high flow motorsports grade catalytic, basically Super GT doing their "bid" to control emissions. Not sure if there is any info floating on the internet if it actually works or how much though.

Definitely recommended stop if you're in the area. My girlfriend was downstairs in the book section while I had free roam through the car section. Don't skip on the clothes section!

18:40 Finally! A proper Evolution V featured, best is spotted in the wild. 👀 Looks like mine, except for the white wheels. Very cool to see! 🙌

Thank you for continuing to showcase some of the lesser known/recognized shops in addition to the bigger ones. Know they may not always get the views/loves that they deserve, but it's definitely appreciated!

The road Cosworth road car was a LUX spec with leather interior. The rally car has the cloth interior, with the smaller turbo engine fitted which can be easily identified with the rocker cover. Both 2ltr

Great tour and what a interesting character and career.

Since I'm a rally nut this is the best video you have created, thanks, I do appreciate your other work as well, thanks again

What's your opinion on the GR Yaris, Dino? Haven't heard you speak much about it in vids.

Nice video Dino, a truly amazing guy, shop and cars👌👋👍 was the Castrol bonnet off a celica GT4? Gotta love a Cossie! I think the roller wheels on the competition car might be the road car's 5 spokes-minus the centre caps, as the white ones on the domesric escort RS are after market.

Hello Dino, Iwase-san is definitely a legend and an important figure in the Japanese rally scene. Not only did he compete numerous times in the old Safari rallies (which to give perspective to you readers, the total distance of the current Safari rally would have covered only a tenth of the Safari rallies back in the 80s and 90s), he also set up shop to be one of the few people who can maintain Ford Cosworths in a country where Ford RS models are fabled creatures of fantasy kind. I'm very glad that you are able to get up and close with a man that is one of Japan's underrated national heroes. I hope he will have a good retirement. Excellent content man!

W video

Lol, I want one RS Cosworth, he has two.

Hi dino, he vents on the integrale are Aluminium and pretty Heavy. Not that i whant to p…you off. I only know that, because 30 years ago I repaird one in italy

Thanks for sharing this with us, Dino. Sad to think his time with cars will come to a close soon but at least you were able to chronicle it.

nice bro 🔥💯💪🏻

I’d imagine the wheels on the rally Cosworth are off the road Cosworth sat next to it, they are certainly the standard wheels for the road version.

Dino da GOAT 🐐

io metto il like prima di guardare

Miki Biassion talk about OG

Beautiful once again. Deltas are always special

I would love to import an Escort and then Max Power it

i like the Ferrari with the busted hood.

The Ford Puma looks so cool

4:40 - That's the second generation YB Cosworth engine called the 'YBP'. That is why it's having a 'rounded' cam cover. The first generation is the 'YBT' which you see on many Group A Escort rally cars. And the YBT unit have bigger turbo than the YBP.

Hey Dino, the Ford Puma outside of the shop is the Ford Racing Puma, not a regular one - it has considerably wider arches than the standard. It's become known through time that the original Puma was actually very overlooked. Here in the UK is was considered a bit of a "hairdresser's car" whereas it's actually developed quite a cult following now as being quite a driver's car with very good handling. Also, the wheels on the Rally Escort Cosworth I believe are the wheels that were factory issued for the road car variant. I remember seeing a few of these on the road in the UK back in the day, but personally I preferred the subtler looks of the Sierra Sapphire Cosworth. Cheers for another awesome video and congrats on your RWB kit btw... It's great to see people being able to achieve their dreams!

I always say that Japan has every car you can possibly think of but London taxi took me by suprise!

Rally content is always a win for me (that's probably pretty obvious given my own channel 🤣). Can't believe there is a Ford Racing Puma there. I wonder how many of those there are in Japan? A very interesting car, with some special bits fitted (along with some not-so-special ones!) Similarly, I wonder how many Escort Cosworths there are out there? Can't be too many. They were a 2.0-litre turbo, using an evolution of the engine fitted to the Sierra RS Cosworth, with the same five-speed gearbox and differentials. That comp car is an interesting one. It looks kind of like a Group N shell, but appears to have road-car seats (non-factory), and the engine looks like the later, small-turbo unit fitted to the 1995/96 road cars that were produced after the initial homologation requirement had been met. The smaller door mirrors also come from a small-turbo car. How big is rallying in Japan right now? Have you noticed any growth since it started hosting the WRC again? From the outside, it seems like it's not very popular, which seems crazy in a way when you think about how many iconic rally cars were based on Japanese cars.

It's interesting seeing so many Deltas around the place in Japan. I've seen a couple whilst working my way through Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Tokyo over the last couple of weeks. Interestingly, I caught up with a guy I used to do grass roots motorsports 15 years ago at a recent Cars and Coffee in Perth, Australia just before we left for this trip and he told me had an Integrale that he'd imported from Japan. Apparently Japan is the go to for Australian Delta enthusiasts looking to source a car.

Absolutely fantastic 😎🤙

Your love and passion for these cars clearly translates through this video. Nissan will always have a place in my heart ❤

Initial D 魔

I love the design, very underrated platform. 1:50 Is it a VW-based engine? Makes me think of the EA827 which is the absolute tuners' favorite over here

My 1st Tamiya model was this car. The 6 spoke front wheels and 5 spoke rears is still a combo i want to copy on my Gts25t.

a Hannover 96 logo, interesting

It’s good that you keep those beauties covered. That sunlight coming in will eventually start fading paint.

You didn't mention that this was the fastest car in Gran Turismo 2 game!!

So much truth about GT500 v. GT300. The 300s are the far more interesting class these days, and I'd argue that the simple fact that individual shops can build their own cars in GT300- something not possible at this performance level anywhere else aside from time attack and hillclimbs - makes the JAF GT300s about the most interesting racing cars on the planet. EDIT: Sumo Power GT-R GT1 spotted 👀

If you did start it and take it outside it didn't happen f****** hate it. Super cool car and we don't get to see dick f****** s*** f*** this

I need a project car, the Japanese are inspirational! Kind of want that blue hako from a couple episodes ago

What's the grey car @28:10?

😮

Yes the fairlady z has been for sale in Australia for awhile through their dealerships. I was at the Yokohama showroom last week and we feel in love with the nismo note aura and the v37 400r. Unfortunately they're not available at the dealerships in Australia, fortunately we can import them .

Man this was cool.

The 90's were the pinnacle era for JDM performance vehicles and raw natural racing car design. Great coverage as always Dino and it is good to see the R33 getting the attention it deserves

Fascinating, truly amazing what they were doing 30 years ago. Did they move the engine back as well as the driver to give it a mid-front layout?

14:34 … I always liked the GT-R R33! Even all stock with its double-5-spoke wheels. It’s more "bulbous" than the other Skylines but it’s not a bad thing. So is the A80 Supra and FD RX-7! Yet they’re lovely looking cars!
