Fourth monthly Goo-net census of Japan's drift chassis, 21 Oct 2026: the AE86 Levin median rose 5.8% to ¥3.74M and now out-prices every Silvia.

Yes: a Z33 350Z rents from ¥22,000 for 6 hours near Tokyo, but road rental terms ban circuits and drifting. Prices and rules checked 11 Oct 2026.

Third monthly census of Japan's drift chassis: 455 priced cars counted on Goo-net on 21 Sep 2026. Five of seven core chassis fell, the first down month.

We counted all 79 cars in D1's official 2026 rankings: Nissan takes 63%, the S-chassis family 58%, the S15 alone 25%. Counted 21 September 2026.

ORC, Nismo, Exedy and Cusco compared with official torque ratings (340–980 N·m), 247 Minkara owner reviews, and the metal-clutch gearbox trap. Sep 2026.

Our second full census of Japan's drift-chassis market: 470 priced cars counted on Goo-net, measured against July's archive. What moved, what thinned out.

A full census of Japanese retail listings for Silvia S13/S14/S15, 180SX, AE86 and JZX Chasers — every priced car counted, with medians and quartiles.

Same chassis, same 4A-GE, ¥1.71M apart. A census of every priced AE86 in Japan puts Truenos at a ¥5.39M median against ¥3.69M for Levins — and shows why.

The JZX100 Chaser out-prices every Silvia in Japan: a ¥4.38M median across 66 priced cars. Tourer V, the 1JZ-GTE, and why the JZX90 has almost vanished.

What a 180SX costs in Japan — a ¥3.75M median across every priced listing we counted. Type X vs Type II, S13 parts sharing, and the 25-year import clock.

Real 2026 prices from Japan's listings: ¥3.66M median, ¥1.68M cheapest, ¥11.5M top. Spec-R vs Spec-S, production years, and which S15s you can import now.

An S14 Silvia costs a ¥2.88M median in Japan. On 4 Oct 2026 kouki cars asked ¥2.92M and zenki ¥2.79M. Grades, production years and importing one.

What an S13 Silvia actually costs in Japan: a ¥3.80M median across 49 priced listings, and the cheapest cars near ¥2.5M. CA18 vs SR20, rust, and how to import.

Two D1GP titles (2017, 2024), the Emperor's 700 PS 180SX, and 4 S13-family cars still on the 2026 top-class grid — verified from official D1 records.

Every era of the AE86 in D1 — Ueo's 2002 NA title, Hibino's ¥50,000 Levin, Tadokoro's 680 PS Trueno still racing in 2026 — verified from official D1 records.

Only 4 priced JZX90 Chasers were on Goo-net on 21 Sep 2026, median ¥2.08M, the same four unsold since July. Grades, the US 25-year rule, buying from abroad.
