Top 5 Japanese super car under RM100k

These are the top 5 Japanese super car under RM100k from my opinion. Most people dream on having Japanese sport car in their house porch. For some people who have lots of greens in his/her bank account may have no problems to own one of these babies. So those who work hard and earn hard cash to fullfill their dream, we can say these cars what you should consider.















Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-T
The R32 GT-R was introduced in 1989 and continued the very successful racing heritage of its famous GT-R predecessors with several championship titles. This car was built to fit Japanese Group A racing specifications and only hit the road, because the rules demanded its street homologation. So in reality, this is a race-car for the street. For the GTS-T model, the Nissan skyline's silky smooth RB20DET engine suits the car well but lacks a little torque down low. The 158kw is produced by a 2 liter, twin cam, inline 6. Air is forced into the engine via a turbocharger with a ceramic exhaust wheel for quick spooling, air is cooled via a side mounted air to air intercooler.
Now market price: RM60k - RM80k



























Mazda Enfini RX-7 (FD-3S).
Mazda announced the released of the Enfini RX-7 (FD-3S). The car is known as the FD (with FD3S for the JDM and JM1FD for the USA VIN). The FD RX-7 is a pure sports car, and borders on supercar status. The touring FDs had sunroofs and Bose stereo systems. The R (R1 in 1993 and R2 in 1994-5) had stiffer suspensions and an optional aerodynamics package, as well as Z-rated tires. While the Japanese version received several more versions to cater for the many tastes of their fussy buyers. The RX-7 is powered by the improved 654cc x 2-rotors sequential twin-turbo 13B rotary engine with intercooler that makes 255 horsepower and 30.0kg-m of torque. The 13B rotary engine is mounted 50mm lower in order to lower the center of gravity. 2002 was the final limited-production series of the RX-7, the Spirit R series was introduced in Japan . The Spirit R type-A is a two-seater model fitted with the RECARO exclusive red full bucket seats, and the Sprit R type-B are fitted with leather seats. The FD RX-7 was Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year for 1993. It also made Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1992 through 1995.

Toyota Supra
With the exception of minor styling updates, the next major redesign occurred in mid-1993 with the fourth and final generation of Supra -- when the Supra entered the realm of "supercars." available in both Turbo and non-Turbo guise, the new Supra was a radical departure from Supras of old. Performance was now the name of the game, and many weight saving measures were employed -- Toyota went so far as to equip the vehicle with hollow carpet fibers and make the rear spoiler (optional on Turbo models) hollow. The Turbo model was hailed by many major magazines as a true worldbeater and in '94 won Popular Mechanics' "Design and Engineering Awards." The new Supra was completely redesigned, with rounded body styling and featured two new engines: a
naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE producing 220 hp (160 kW/220 PS) at 5800 rpm and 210 ft·lb (280 N·m) at 4800 rpm of torque and a twin turbocharged 2JZ-GTE
making 280 hp (209 kW/284 PS) and 318 ft·lb (431 N·m) of torque for the Japanese version. With 280-horsepower, this was the highest level of performance, and the strongest commitment to performance, Toyota had ever placed in one vehicle. Unfortunately, production of the Supra was halted in 1999.
Now market price: RM80k - RM100k




Mitsubishi GTO
The first generation incorporated many of Mitsubishi's contemporary performance-enhancing technologies, such as full time
all wheel drive, four wheel steering, active aerodynamics featuring automatically-adjusting front and rear spoilers, a tuneable exhaust and electronically controlled suspension (ECS). Visually, the cars featured pop-up headlights and noticeable "caps" on the hood to accommodate the ECS controllers at the top of the strut turrets.Under the hood, the DOHC 24v V6 twin turbo engine can produce 206 kW (280 PS) at 6000 rpm.
Now market price: RM50k - RM60k

Introduced 1993. New styling. Pop-up lights disappeared in all markets. SR20DET engine gets Nissan's variable valve timing. HICAS restricted to Japan only. Coupe styling only. Rear badges are highly polished and on the right side.The S14 in the guise of the 200SX, SuperHICAS, the Garrett T28BB and of course the jap spec SR20DET, 225-250 PS. There was a mild styling update to the S14 during 1996, which added aggressive-looking projector headlamps and tinted taillights to all models. Fascias and other exterior trim pieces were also revised. The turbocharger now used a more efficient
ball bearing center section. This updated version is popularly known as the kouki (後期, literally "later period") S14, or by enthusiasts as the CS14. This car was sold as the second generation 240SX in North America from 1995-1998. The final model year of S14 production in all markets was 2000.

MR WANKEL ROTARY'S ROARS!!


MR WANKEL ROTARY'S ROARS!!




Vehicles are manufactured for a reason: For commuting and some of us got one step further for customizing. The car for customizing have carefully choose, the car should not be a daily driven car. This is why this sleek RX-7 FD3S be the chosen one.


The FD RX-7 was an engineering marvel, too, heralded by many publications and revered for its vanguard design, pure sports car feel, and its technologically advanced 1.3L twin-turbocharged rotary engine that helped push the FD 255 hp out of the box and onto many an enthusiast's garage floors. It featured a 0-60 sprint within the 5-second range, limited-slip differential, antilock brakes on all four corners, and extra-tight suspension.


Underhood is a 13B-REW motor, which was also the first mass-produced sequential twin-turbocharger setup exported from Japan. In stock form, it runs as high as 276 hp. The 13B-REW engine is force fed through the factory twin turbo setup. Cooling the intake charge is a OEM intercooler, which then shoots up the RE Amemiya twin intake. With the shift of each gear comes a burst of air that from an HKS SQV blow-off valve. Twin turbocharger intakes can barely been seen on each side, with HKS Super Mega Flow air filters fit on to their ends.




The (loud) exhaust system consists of a OEM manifold, and a 3.5-inch down- and mid-pipe that leads into an HKS Super Dragger 3.5-inch titanium exhaust.


One of the things makes this monster differ from the norm is a setup he describes as "lightweight and responsive." The former quality benefits from a OEM front bumper, rear bumper, a RE Amemiya GT2 fiber rear GT wing and Scoot fiber hood. The obvious transformation was the custom angle eye head lamp, it is believe that made by some unknown japan tuner from japan


Afterwards, it focused on getting the Rx-7 to rolling chassis status so that it would be readily transportable. The stock struts replaced with koni fully adjustable soft/hard Sport shocks and Dobinsons springs


Hanging from them are a set of Racing Beat wheels-17x7.5 , 235/40/R17 Yokohama S1-Z up front, 17x8 the rear-wearing Bridgestone Potenza S02 tires.




In interior department, this rx-7 does not have any special treatment. It does not have a fancy ,colourful gauges, gizmos or electronics, it just have one simple RE Amemiya boost meter ready to monitor the heart beat of the engine. To entertain the driver and passangers, Kenwood KDC-MP239 headunit, Rockford fosgate tweeter, mid speakers and crossover installed.


It garnered double takes on the road, accepted roles on various films, and heroically took its call as Mazda's most legendary ride.
