Best JDM Cars of All Time

Top 8 JDM Cars of all time:

1.    Nissan Silvia (S15):

There are no new variants to import because manufacture ended in 2002. The FR layout with the SR20DET (2.0L 4 cylinder turbocharged) engine up front driving the rear wheels makes Silvia’s popular in the drift community. Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R comes with a reworked engine that produces around 250 horsepower, as well as chassis and suspension upgrades and larger 4-piston front brakes. It also comes with a helical LSD and HICAS as an option.

 

2.    Toyota Supra (JZA-80):

The Toyota Supra A80 ditched the boxy design in favor of one with more curves and a huge wing. Out of the box, the 3 litre twin-turbo 2JZ engine developed 276 horsepower. It's known for being able to be tweaked much beyond stock. Auto or manual transmissions were available, with non-turbos getting a 5-speed and turbos getting a 6-speed. The most sought-after twin-turbo manual variants command a high price.

 

3.    The Nissan Skyline GTR (R34):

Skyline is a fan favorite, having appeared in video games and films such as the Fast & Furious trilogy. The R34 variant has been available for a few years and has quickly grown in popularity. Production ceased in 2002, and there will be no additional models available for import. This GTR had a new body style, more power, and improved fuel economy (as if that's why you'd want one in the first place). The brake size was raised, the suspension was changed and stiffened, and it was available with a 6-speed manual transmission. You might also have a TV screen with an engine data display that you can customize. V-SPEC, V-SPEC II, M-SPEC, V-SPEC II NUR, and M-SPEC II NUR were among the special versions available. If you want one of them, you'll almost certainly need a lot of cash.

 

4.    Subaru Legacy (BP5/BL5):

The Subaru Legacy is now in its fourth generation. It was first presented in Japan in 2003, and it was a total makeover of the previous model. The twin-turbo was replaced with a twin-scroll turbo and AVCS in this model's EJ20. The automatic EJ20 had around 250 horsepower, while the manual versions had 280 horsepower. The 3.0R and 3.0R spec were equipped with the new 6-cylinder EZ30 engine, which produced around 250 horsepower. The 2.0GT, 2.0GT Spec B, 3.0R, and 3.0R Spec B are all popular models. A computerized gauge cluster, fuel economy, and a backup camera might all be added to the navigation deck. Because of the electronic throttle, the regular cruise control stalk may be plugged directly in, with just slight modifications to the steering wheel shroud.

 

5.    Honda NSX-R:

Honda NSX-R is a sports car produced by Honda. In 2002, the NSX-R received a facelift designed specifically for Japan, with a focus on weight reduction. With a ventilated hood and deck lid, carbon fiber was used throughout. Audio, insulation, air conditioning, and power steering were also deleted. All of the changes resulted in a weight loss of roughly 220 pounds! The engine's power output remained unchanged at 290 horsepower, but it was hand-tuned to improve rotating assembly precision by nearly 10 times that of the factory NSX engine.

 

6.    Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8:

The Evo 8, the second iteration of the CT9A model, was introduced in 2003. A six-speed transmission linked to a 280hp engine with electronic all-wheel drive and Mitsubishi's Active Yaw Control was available. The regular GSR model features Brembo brakes and Ricardo seats, while the MR variant features a redesigned front LSD, 17-inch BBS wheels, and is lighter thanks to the usage of aluminum and carbon fiber.

 

7.    Nissan Skyline 350GT (V35):

The FairladyZ was first released in Japan in 2002, and it is a relatively new model to be imported. The coupe model was only released in 2003. It has the same basis as the Skyline 350GT and the Infiniti G35, with just minor variations in appearance. It's nothing like the Skyline GTR R34, which used the identical Skyline name. Because it was intended for the North American market as the Infiniti G35, greater emphasis was placed on making the car feel premium. It could be equipped with either a Triprotic automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission. The most popular engine was a 3.5L v6 with 280 horsepower, but other engines with 260 and 215 horsepower were also available.

 

8.    Mazda RX-7 (FD3S):

The Type RB, Type R, Type RS, Type RZ, Type R Bathurst R, and the Spirit R were among the models available. The majority of models do not differ significantly. The Type R Bathurst R featured adjustable suspension and carbon fibre panels, whilst the Spirit R was available in three different models: Type A, Type B, and Type C. The Type A and B had recaro bucket seats, the Type A and B were manual, the Type B and C had red leather seats in a 2+2 layout, and the Type C was an automatic. Interior cosmetic tweaks were unique to the Spirit R variants, as were the 17-inch BBS wheels. Stainless brake lines, Bilstein struts, and cross-drilled rotors were also standard on Type A and B vehicles.
