Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, Bobby and Aaron leave the pavement behind and dive into a side of JDM culture that doesn't get nearly as much attention — Japanese 4x4s, off-roaders, and overlanding vehicles. While Skylines, Supras, and other '90s performance icons dominate the conversation, Japan has also produced some seriously capable machines built for getting dirty.We talk about everything from the Suzuki Jimny and Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution to the Toyota Hilux Surf, Land Cruiser 70 Series, Mitsubishi Delica, and some of the more obscure Japanese 4x4s making their way into the United States. We discuss diesel engines, short-wheelbase models, aftermarket support, and why these vehicles are becoming increasingly interesting to American enthusiasts.We also ask a question we hadn't really considered before: Do Japanese enthusiasts go mudding? We compare Japan's more controlled off-road and overlanding culture with America's obsession with massive tires, horsepower, UTVs, mud holes, and sending it through the woods. Could imported Japanese 4x4s become the next big niche within the American JDM scene?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we're joined live from Import Alliance by Joshua Travis, a lifelong Nissan enthusiast whose passion for the brand started early thanks to his father's nearly four-decade career with Nissan. After years of drifting everything from a 350Z to a Corvette, Joshua finally fulfilled a lifelong dream by importing a truly special Nissan Skyline R34 GTT sedan built by the legendary Okubo Factory. Joshua shares the entire journey—from searching Japanese auctions and navigating the import process to the excitement of winning the car at auction after it unexpectedly left consignment. We also discuss what makes an Okubo Factory build so unique, the rare June-built 2.6L stroker engine, period-correct Japanese modifications, and why he intentionally chose to preserve the car's identity as a GTT instead of trying to turn it into a GT-R clone. We also dive into the realities of importing a car from Japan, avoiding scams, choosing the right importer, and the modifications Joshua has planned as he carefully modernizes the car while staying true to its Japanese roots. It's an episode about patience, passion, and finally owning the Skyline you've dreamed about for years. 

Send us Fan Mailn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, Bobby recaps an unforgettable trip to Import Alliance in Nashville, Tennessee. From hauling two GT-Rs over 1,500 miles in a stacker trailer to navigating one of the biggest JDM gatherings in the country, we break down the entire experience—the wins, the challenges, and everything in between. A major highlight of the weekend was watching our friend Marq "Squirk" Drenon officially launch Roll Forged Wheels. What started as an idea at SEMA has quickly grown into a full lineup of forged wheel designs, and seeing them debut on everything from GT-Rs and Supras to Lamborghinis made the moment even more special. We also dive into the incredible Nashville car community, the packed pre-meets, drifting, vendor displays, and why Import Alliance continues to be one of the best enthusiast events in the country. We also share stories from the road, lessons learned towing a 74-foot RV and stacker setup, visiting some of our favorite Nashville shops and attractions, and catching up with many of the friends and guests we've met through the podcast over the years.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we're throwing out the rulebook and sharing some of our most unpopular opinions from the JDM world. Some you'll agree with, some you'll absolutely hate—but that's what makes it fun. We debate everything from whether the Autech R33 GT-R Sedan is the coolest RB26-powered car ever built, to why over-modifying a car can actually make it less enjoyable to own. We also discuss up-badging, why tire choice says more about a car owner than most people realize, whether K-trucks are actually overrated, and even question if most '90s cars were really as good-looking as we remember.It's a laid-back episode full of hot takes, nostalgia, and plenty of friendly debate as we challenge some of the beliefs that have become gospel in the automotive community. Whether you agree with us or completely disagree, we want to hear your own unpopular opinions. 

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Alan and Lupe from the J Spek Projekt to talk about the powerful connection between military service, brotherhood, and the JDM community. What started as a shared passion for Japanese cars has grown into something much bigger—a network of veterans and enthusiasts using cars as a way to reconnect, heal, and support one another. We hear how both Alan and Lupe found their way into the automotive world, from deployments overseas and discovering Japanese car culture to building some of the cleanest, most well-known project cars in the community. They share the story behind the J Spec Project, the idea of "Boost Therapy," and how a simple cruise with friends can be just as valuable as any formal therapy session. The conversation also dives into the changing car scenes across the country, from Florida to Utah and Oklahoma, the friendships built through JDM culture, and why preserving the sense of community is just as important as building the cars themselves. Whether you're a veteran, an enthusiast, or both, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the best therapy is a full tank of gas, a winding road, and good people beside you.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we tackle a topic that's been at the heart of car culture for decades — exhaust systems. From the early days of bolt-on mufflers, Pep Boys fart cans, and local muffler shop specials to today's high-end titanium systems, we discuss how exhausts have shaped the way we experience cars. We dive into the iconic exhaust brands that defined generations of enthusiasts, debate canisters versus oval mufflers, and share our thoughts on what makes an exhaust truly great. Along the way, we discuss everything from old-school HKS systems and Mugen classics to modern handcrafted titanium setups and the differences between mass-produced and custom-built exhausts. Of course, we also get into the age-old question: Is an exhaust about performance, sound, appearance, or all three? We share stories from our own builds, compare some of our favorite systems, and talk about why the sound of a car can be just as important as the horsepower it makes. Find us on Facebook groups - RHDGUYS-JDMBOYSSocials - @RHDGUYS Merch - http://RHDGUYS.COMWant a discount on Nissan parts?Use code "RHDGUYS" athttps://nizmopartsplug.comNeed An ECU?

Bienvenidos a un repaso profundo por una de las rivalidades más apasionantes de la historia del automovilismo. Hoy en Garaje Hermético analizamos dos coches que nacieron de una carambola del destino. Ni BMW ni Mercedes-Benz tenían planeado crear estas berlinas deportivas tal y como las conocemos, pero la competición los obligó a superar todos los límites de la ingeniería de los años 80. El origen: De los rallies al asfalto La historia del Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 comienza con una obsesión: demostrar que el chasis W201 era el mejor del mundo. Mercedes quería volver a los rallies y encargó a Cosworth el desarrollo de una culata de 16 válvulas para su bloque M102. El resultado fue brillante, pero la irrupción de la tracción total de Audi cambió las reglas del juego. Mercedes, entendiendo que la propulsión trasera no podría competir en el barro, pivotó hacia el DTM (Campeonato Alemán de Turismos). BMW, al ver el despliegue técnico de Stuttgart, no se quedó atrás. Bajo la dirección de Paul Rosche —apodado "Paul Árboles de Levas"—, BMW Motorsport desarrolló el motor del M3 en un tiempo récord de dos semanas, adaptando la arquitectura del motor del M1 para encajarla en el vano del E30. Mercedes 190E 2.3-16: Sobre-ingeniería alemana Mercedes invirtió una cifra astronómica para la época en el desarrollo del "Baby Benz". Querían un coche indestructible. Para demostrarlo, antes de su lanzamiento, llevaron tres unidades a Nardò (Italia), donde rodaron 50.000 kilómetros sin parar a una media de casi 248 km/h. En la pista, el 190E destaca por su innovadora suspensión trasera multibrazo de cinco brazos. Es un coche que "pisa" de forma impecable, filtrando las irregularidades pero permitiendo ritmos inconfesables con una nobleza absoluta. Su motor Cosworth de 185 CV es elástico y lineal, ideal para cruzar continentes con total confianza. BMW M3 E30: El purasangre de Múnich Si el Mercedes es un guante de seda, el M3 es un bisturí. A diferencia del 190E, el M3 cambió casi todos sus paneles exteriores respecto al Serie 3 convencional por motivos aerodinámicos (solo comparte capó y techo). Su motor S14 de 4 cilindros y 2.3 litros entrega 200 CV con un carácter puramente de carreras. Es un coche más ligero y directo; su tren delantero muerde el vértice de las curvas con una agresividad que el Mercedes no busca. Es un vehículo que exige más del conductor, pidiendo trabajar constantemente con el cambio Getrag de primera hacia atrás para mantener el motor en la zona alta del cuentavueltas, donde el aullido metálico de su admisión se vuelve adictivo. La escalada de los Evolution La rivalidad no se detuvo en los modelos base. Para ganar en el DTM, ambas marcas lanzaron ediciones especiales cada vez más radicales. Desde el Mercedes 2.5-16 hasta el imponente Evo II con su alerón masivo, y desde los primeros Evolution de BMW hasta el Sport Evolution (Evo III) de 238 CV. Fue una lucha por la supremacía técnica que nos dejó algunos de los mejores coches de calle jamás fabricados. Conclusión: ¿Cuál interesa más hoy? Ambos son historia viva del motor. El BMW M3 E30 se ha convertido en el estándar de lo que debe ser un coche deportivo: ligero, comunicativo y rabioso. Sin embargo, en el mercado actual de clásicos, el Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 (o el posterior 2.5) se presenta como la compra más inteligente. Ofrece una calidad de construcción legendaria, una fiabilidad superior para el uso real y una experiencia de conducción que combina la sofisticación de Mercedes con el picante de Cosworth, todo ello a un precio que todavía no ha alcanzado las cotas prohibitivas del M3. Sin la existencia de uno, el otro no habría llegado a ser tan perfecto. Son dos formas distintas de entender la velocidad que nacieron para batirse en duelo y terminaron convirtiéndose en leyendas inseparables.

We talk about what it takes to keep these cars running at a high level, the evolution of the Skyline scene, and what separates a good build from a truly great one.From day-to-day shop life to high-end builds and problem-solving on rare JDM platforms, this episode gives you a real, behind-the-scenes look at one of Florida's go-to Skyline shops.

Send a textIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we take a look at the cars that officially became federally legal in 2026 under the 25-year import rule — including icons like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII and the Honda Integra Type R (DC5).While these cars are still exciting additions for enthusiasts, this new class of imports raises a bigger question: are we reaching the end of the JDM golden era? Compared to the flood of legendary cars that became legal over the past decade — R32s, Supras, FD RX-7s, and eventually the R34 — the pipeline of truly must-have JDM cars seems to be slowing down.We discuss what makes the Evo 7 and DC5 special, why the early-2000s era feels different from the 90s boom, and whether the future of importing will ever match the excitement of the golden years. Is the best behind us, or are there still hidden gems waiting their turn?

This isn't a rushed build or a trend-driven project — it's a long-term vision brought to life through research, relationships, and relentless standards.We talk about what drives him to chase authenticity, how he tracks down hard-to-find components, and why details most people overlook are the ones that matter most. It's a conversation about doing things the right way — even when it takes longer and costs more.

What used to be locked behind tool trucks and professional shops is now widely available to everyday enthusiasts, DIYers, and home-garage builders.We talk about legacy brands like Snap-on, MAC Tools, Cornwell Tools, and Craftsman, along with Japanese favorites like TONE. We compare quality, price, accessibility, and how social media, online retail, and global manufacturing have reshaped what it means to build a serious toolbox today.From tool-truck loyalty to modern consumer access, this episode is about how the barrier to entry has changed — and what actually matters when choosing tools in 2025.

No big shop. No shortcuts. Just skill, patience, and an obsession with getting it right.John walks us through the full build process, the challenges of restoring and modifying a GT-R at home, and what it took to bring this car from vision to reality. The payoff? The car was officially unveiled at GT-R Festival in Ennis, Texas, where it didn't just turn heads — it took home Best of Show.This episode is all about grassroots passion, hands-on craftsmanship, and proving that some of the wildest builds still come out of home garages.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we tackle a hard but important topic in the JDM world — cars getting crashed and permanently removed from an already shrinking pool. As these vehicles age and values climb, every loss hits harder, especially when we're talking about limited-production legends.We dive into the recent R's Day crash that left a rare R34 GT-R heavily damaged in the rear, sparking big conversations across the community. We talk about what these incidents mean for overall production numbers, future values, restorability, and the responsibility that comes with driving historically important cars.This episode isn't about blame — it's about reality. Preservation vs. use, driving vs. protecting, and how each crash subtly reshapes the future of JDM culture.

The day has come… Jason's VR6 swap on his Mk3 Volkswagen Cabrio is finally on the road! ….well, sort of. With some frustrating snafus along the way, there's still plenty of work left to be done. But not enough to prevent a first shakedown (and burnout, of course) from happening with the existing stock 12-valve VR6 before it gets replaced by a built motor from Techtonics Tuning. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Derek and Jason begin today's episode with a recap of the swap progress so far - in a matter of weeks, Jason's 1996 Volkswagen Cabrio went from being gutless, to gutted, to glorious - receiving not just an engine swap, but also a full subframe and suspension swap from a VR6 Jetta as well. To top it off, Jason mounted period correct BBS RX multi-piece wheels that really tie everything in together. If Volkswagen had made a true Mk3 GTI Cabriolet, this is about as close as you could get! After discussing hours and dollars spent on the project, Derek circles back on other cars that sound better or worse than a VR6. The Ferrari 512BB comes to mind, even being a Bosch CIS-equipped car. Amongst other CIS cars, Jason also discusses the rich induction sounds of his other cars - including his Mercedes-Benz 2.3-16 Cosworth and Mk1 Volkswagen Cabriolet. And of course, it's not a Carmudgeon Show without critically blasting other lesser-sounding cars - in this case, the S14 in the E30 BMW M3 and all Nissan VQ engines. Was all the fuss worth it?

RHONJ S14 Finale - It's here, but is it the end of Real Housewives of New Jersey??? We recap the S14 finale! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On today's show, I do a deep dive of Vinivia with all of the information that has dropped in the last few weeks all tied together, and I look into Marcello Genovese. Gossip and allegations have dropped over the last few days from employees taking to Instagram and posting receipts about Luis Ruelas involvement and the company is stiffing everybody that has done business with them essentially. Also, there have been allegations that the leadership in the company has used the money for their own self gain and is about to raise more money. We move on to the new gossip about Paulie Connell that I was sent and then looked at. I do a sort of short recap of S14 episode 5 and 6 to do with Dolores and Paulie's relationship, which I find so interesting given the mystery behind him. In this section of the show, we talk about John Fuda, Luis Ruelas, Teresa Giudice, Dolores Catania, and Frank Catania and of course Paulie Connell. You ask me to look into his tattoos and I tell you the result.  We discuss all the different scenarios for Real Housewives of New Jersey that the fans are wondering is going to happen with the show. I tell you about a poll I'm dropping at the same time as this episode, so that we can I can get your take on all this. I hint to some gossip that I found out about Namaste B$tches but can't tell you totally.I discuss some gossip to do with Real Housewives of Orange County reminding us all of the Jesus jugs moment. It's going to become important because Tamara Judge hated Alexis Bellino in the older seasons, but now they are going to be besties on the new season 17 coming out. Sound Credits: @wifeoftheparty on Instagram.For Full episode go here: https://www.patreon.com/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeySupport the Show.Dana is on Cameo!Get Dishing Drama Dana Merch!https://represent.com/store/dishing-drama-dana-wilkeyFollow Dana: @Wilkey_Dana$25,000 Song - Apple Music$25,000 Song - SpotifyTo support the show and listen to full episodes, become a member on PatreonTo learn more about sponsorships, email DDDWpodcast@gmail.comDana's YouTube Channel
