Fun fact: Larry Chen did tour Top Rank a few months ago and asked why they don't use stackers for storage. Simple answer: it's Japan! The warehouses have to be rated for strong earthquakes - they don't want to risk that one car falls onto the one below when an earthquake hits. ✌️
Spending the price on these cars is absolutely worth it. The ones that are buyers are paying $150k or more are going to triple in value in the next few years.
It's not really scalping it's just a curated brokerage service where they find good/rarer examples for u to buy. As they said most of the inventory shown on screen is pre sold. They are not hoarding it there to jack up prices but just waiting for the regulations in the owners' countries to allow these cars in. U can definitely find more of these cars in the local auctions that need more work done to them. I much rather see these pristine examples in the hands of people that take really good care of them and sell it to others who have the money to maintain and keep them around as long as possible. Versus them being cheap enough to be bought and bastardized by young dumb kids as they did with 240sx
Yooo you met the founder of Kaido House. They are the best in JDM diecast im pretty sure they make a c10 also. Now its really clear why they are the best lol.
Not sure if you'll ever see this comment or not. But I figured I'd tell yuh of something. You say that 400r skyline was the most valuable jdm car you've ever seen. I recently went to the Lemay auto museum here where I live. And saw what my brother called the holy grail of cars from Japan. The grandfather of the supra in my opinion. A Toyota 2000gt. It gave me chills!
This is why r34's are so expensive because they have all the supply so they control the price and mark them up like crazy even though they bought them from auction for pennies on the dollar
Hella sweet Walk thru, these Japan vids are epic af. Expensive trip but go more plz ha.. what is the guy measuring on the strut tower and headlight housing on that gtr with blue wheels? Never seen that
It's cool that you got to visit them. I only wish theirncars weren't so expensive. Toprank seems to have the most expensive cars. I also saw a post recently about their sales manager that was questionable.
Great channel. I was so close to visitingJapan at one point myself. I had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to visit Asia. All the best!
Japan is going to be raking it in straight through 2027. The prior thought process of this year and forward for R34 is going to be mind-blowing for the market.
matt theres never too many hotwheels, found all my childhood ones in storage and have been adding to them for a few years now! i have most the skylines and farelady cars too!
Iv been seeing alot of auto podcasters, US and UK, talking down on how expensive these JDM cars, particularly the R34's have been selling for lately. They moan about how ridiculous it is that a Japanese car can be 150K. I wonder why they applaud and celebrate the wild values of EU cars from the 60s 70's and 80's, that get bought as asset investments and parked in garages, then get upset that culturally loved JDM cars are getting bought, built and USED.
Bought, scalped then built and used. The reason why people are moaning about it is that they used to get these cars for cheap and now companies like toprank and others bought them all up to sell for highly inflated values to the states which just now are starting to be able to get them imported.
@@wreak3ryup 2010's you could get a whole 240sx front end for 1500 now the SR's are 4-5k for a swap if not more and the sr doesn't even make good power unless built
Because investors and collectors got in the market and they’re literally bidding $100k-$200k on the first day on BAT or Jap Auctions just because they wanna feel like ballers and big boys. I’ve been looking at prices for these cars almost daily for a long time and it’s always the same 15-20 people doing that, i recognize their names all the time on bids. They just want their cars to be worth a million dollars already even at the expense of ruining it for others
It’s a GTT lol, anyone that has a GTR knows exactly that they have a GTR. Most GTR’s in the U.S are just GTT’s with GTR panels or aftermarket panels and they slap on a GTR badge for likes. I wanna get a GTT with OEM GTR panels not to say it’s a GTR but because i wanna run wider tires
That right there is the difference between learning English for business purposes and learning English because you have friends overseas that you chat with all the time. :D
@@mattthemorningafter The r33 is the worst of the 3 generations. Its the least aggressive, least sought after, and has the smallest racing history. Nothing about it is better than a 32 or 34. Majority of people of can agree that the kouki s14 looks more sleek and aggressive than a zenki, but theres diehard zenki and r33 fans that love the watered down regular traffic looking cars.
Sure. Mind blowing for us here in the U.S. But to them, it's like a warehouse of really nice Mustangs. 😂
Would still love to have only one
@@larrymills4019 I'd be excited just to have the engine. 😉
Not anymore! They're all coming here.
Really making it seem worth the trip !
@@larrymills4019 best to buy a gtt or gtst and build a gtr out of it it'll cost way less

I know Masa from Dustin William's TH-cam channel. He is a legend, a walking car enciclopedia. And a super nice and chill guy
I was introduced to him on Albo's channel. He sure is an abosolute legend!

That millennium jade GTR is to DIE FOR! So beautiful. My dream car.
GTR’s are cool. But they’re kinda getting boring because so many channels show them. There’s a lot of other awesome JDM cars that as cool or cooler.
always think the same. It's always a GT-R these channels gawk over. i'm sick of watching them and feeling any hype
OMFG 1320 thx Loving all the JDM videos lately ,and drifting finally getting a showcase
Seeing Jun Imai and Rich Trujillo here was unexpected, gotta check out their lineup of Kaido House collector diecasts 👌
hakosuka GTR in Thailand that Kyle mentioned is probably owned by Heng's Garage. It is such a beautiful car. 🤍
Thank you for video bro🔥🖤
Yes it is :)
@@1320videolove you bro 🙏🏻
😍 the best cars in the world! GT-Rs
This is why r34's are so expensive because they have all the supply so they control the price and mark them up like crazy even though they bought them from auction for pennies on the dollar
Incorrect. Have you ever been to the auctions? Even there they sell for 2x to 4x the price of r32s and r33s
Kaido House 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It’s going to be really cool when these R34’s are imported and Kyle’s like “no shit I saw this car in the warehouse before it was shipped”😂
Hella sweet Walk thru, these Japan vids are epic af. Expensive trip but go more plz ha.. what is the guy measuring on the strut tower and headlight housing on that gtr with blue wheels? Never seen that
My guess is he was measuring paint thickness, but it's just my guess, and I hope someone smarter can confirm or correct me.
yeah paint thickness device, just to test if the car has been resprayed at some point
Dear Santa....😂😂😂
that black stagea yes sir, and the white Autech 260 inside.
It's cool that you got to visit them. I only wish theirncars weren't so expensive. Toprank seems to have the most expensive cars. I also saw a post recently about their sales manager that was questionable.
What was the post? I’m genuinely curious
Damn these guys are gonna regret getting all of these out of Japan lol

You could have just said you missed an opportunity to go to Japan, lol
@@VS666I'm sure I've seen him comment on the same thing in other videos 😂
who asked
i think id have to take a bayside blue lol. no need for that jade. but when i saw that ef9 crx, i lost it
That white Spec II is DOPE! Come see my 33 GTR anytime in Oregon.
Japan is going to be raking it in straight through 2027. The prior thought process of this year and forward for R34 is going to be mind-blowing for the market.
What I would do just to be able to own a r34 skyline gtr, that literally is my dream car
Totally insane!!
Too bad masa hasn’t made any more TH-cam videos, watched him on albo and Dustin’s channel also has his own channel as well.
When are you going to get yours Kyle?
What a dream. I'll never be able to afford my dream car. I need that winning lotto ticket.
All the JDM dream cars 🔥🔥
Were can i buy the diecast cars
Anyone know if Matt gives mustache rides? 9:27
Cool video I love the r34s and I love the die cast cars also
matt theres never too many hotwheels, found all my childhood ones in storage and have been adding to them for a few years now! i have most the skylines and farelady cars too!
That WRB Forester at 10:43 ❤
Fujitsubo exhausts are awesome.
Why would the world go with electric vehicles when we can have rides like these🤦♂️
I’ve painted 1 car midnight purple and just having the color made was a whole process, I can’t imagine paint matching that spoiler lol.
A lot to choose from!
I SO LOVE ALL JDM CARS 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
i remember when i saw a millenium jade vspec 2 nur for $90k nzd/$54k usd. in nz in 2012/14. lol. tf happened. theyre all 1/4 mill + here now
Now you gotta find a warehouse that’s filled with mk4 supras/ 1st generation NSXs
Still not Florida
Anyone know if Matt gives mustache rides?
that last r34 i love that color never seen one like it watw as it vermillion jade ?look sick
I wouldn’t be able to leave 😂
Huge fan of the mini gt kaido house R33. And I'm getting that pink r33 in a few days
I don't think all you left without buying/ordering a JDM hotrod
Great video but good god holy grail gtr’s,I’ve never seen that many epic cars all together.
How many came from swamps and scrap yards I wonder
what an honor
Masa!!!!
Los rojos son los más raros dice!! Por tu cara tenían 3 jejeje q loco Japón
Have you met Dino?
Nothing more than a hyped up cars.
A slice of heaven right there, I dream of driving the Wangan at night in an J style R32 😌
Masa a cool dude
Kyle tell me you left with either the white 74 series 1 and or bought an R34 OR contracted for delivery of an R34

Masa wtf ???? From Dustin channel
Wow super cool beans
Bro if you know you know who Masa is. So dope you brought him on the channel, sorta been waiting to see a wild Albo appear too haha.
Me casually waiting for the CL1 Accord Euro R to become legal
Check Garage Defend, used to be the best kept secret for importing “reasonably priced” jdm cars .. Top Rank is awesome tho✅✅
i remember when it just took 40-50K lol but also homes were under 200K lol
They store them to sell in the USA when the legal limitations are lifted
not me only staring at the WRB FXT in the back lol
Did the COBRA GIVEAWAY EVER HAPPEN?????
Yeah we know what the midnight purple is I had a convertible notch back the same color no big deal
I want drag racing
Coming soon!
@@1320video let's gooooo, I like the JDM stuff but drag racing is what I love😎
There’s a red R34 here is Ohio for sale around 60k. If that car is the same spec he doesn’t know what he has and it’s a steal.

I have a car from there, I recommend that you spend all of your extra money before leaving 😅
Jun 😮
Okok, you got me. I take one. They have so much of them, they must be cheaper. 😅😭
Damn... it's so wild how much these are going for now. They just have warehouses full of them lol it's like the mustang of japan.
Come on Kyle! Just buy a white GT-R all ready! We know you want one! Hahaha
Not worth what they cost, it saddens me, I’ll enjoy other people’s for now.
@@1320video get an AWD GTT they are very close to a GT-R and cost a fraction of what they sell a GT-R for.
What a gold mine they have there of G-34 GTR’S.

No way he just runs into the owner of Kaido House. As a die-cast nerd that's insane
We ran into him 3 different locations after this, super chill guy
jdm heaven
The only thing better than this
would be a garage full of mint condition toyota trueno's
Insane!!
