    Hey guys thank you for all the support, I tried my best to get the info as accurate as possible, it’s hard because there’s not a ton of information on the club. I did pronounce“Wangan” wrong it’s actually ‘Wan-Gan’ not ‘Wagon’ also all the money I talk about is converted into current day $USD. Thank you again and if I get anything wrong PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

      I'd still be cautious about saying that. While they may have had interest in public safety, they were still disliked by the majority of the population due to the potential danger they posed on the street. Yoshida Eiichi ended up committing two acts of fraud and spent time in jail. The Japanese population attributed this to karma.

  • @ozdunder
    @ozdunder 2 ปีที่แล้ว +322

    0:18 wasn't a law, it was a gentlemen's agreement between the Japanese manufacturers. They all came together in a meeting room and agreed upon 276 advertised horsepower. Some cars, to name a few, r34, supra, etc. could make upwards of 300 or more horsepower stock. Most had boost limiters that were relatively easy to remove, ECU's that were easily tuneable, and highly capable and over engineered engines.
    tl;dr Basically, 276hp was just what they were obligated to advertise for specs and brochures, when in fact several cars were way more capable from factory, pushing upwards of 50 more horsepower with little electronic fiddling.

    Yoshida's 911 is famous as a works tune that was customized twice by Porsche headquarters in Germany to compete with the GT-R.
    Smokey Nagata did not join Midnight Club, but one legendary tuner joined Midnight Club midway through. This is Isami Amamiya from “RE Amemiya” who is famous for modifying the RX-7.
    Even after everyone else left the Shutoko race, he remained active long after his 60th birthday.
    The Shutoko“Meaning: capital highway” has a maximum speed of 200 km, and it has become difficult to drive at speeds over 300 km. It's not just a police problem, but the 3.11 earthquake caused the Shutoko to become distorted on an invisible level. Even though the car would not bounce before, it now bounces at such high speeds.
    I'm Japanese, so I'm sorry if my English is strange.

They also have movies called the shuto trials (only released in the US and JP hmu). They're also very vocal on instagram and you can meet a few of the members at the same restaurant/bar place. Currently team mid night has their current head '5th' leading at the moment while the older generation still meet up yearly and go for cruises. They have also expanded to Hawaii if you did not know.

    Great video but at the start of the video you said that Japan put out a law limiting all cars to 276hp while the law was actually put in place by the manufacturers themselves I assume to stop the Japanese government putting in there own law which could limit the HP more and as far as I know the first company to release a car under this rule was Nissan with the 300ZX so mabye they started in but I can't find any information to confirm Nissan started the rule.

I always love seeing the classic Porsches loved in Japan.. the Ferraris, and Lamborghinis all seem more appealing in these Videos.. you have guys racing everything from Honda civics. To STI’s, Evos, Supras, Skylines, Rx7’s, classic porsches, 240’s, 300zx’s, lambos, ferraris, american muscle.. it just seems like a video game in real life.

    Rather than a 13B, this car actually uses a turbocharged, 2 rotor 12A engine, which produced 265 PS. Modifications on the engine are just like the Europa, simplistic and very OEM based. The turbine on the turbos itself are from the FC3S RX-7, stentako feet made by Trust (don’t know what the hell a stentako feet is. Could be derpy translation or maybe something related to a stainless steel exhaust), Trust sten muffler (i think it’s supposed to be stainless steel muffler), flywheel from the FC3S RX-7, intercooler and radiator also came from the FC3S RX-7, and wastegate made by Trust.

    Japan never made a law where cars were limited to 276hp. The 276hp figure was a "Gentleman's Agreement" between the Japanese car manufacturers to not exceed 276hp. I believe the Nissan GT-R was the first car to break the Gentleman's Agreement when it was released in 2007.

      There was no law but authorities were all over japanese manufacturers. Hence the agreement.
