Larry Chen visits some of the legendary drivers and builders from Japan's Tuning Golden Age, who are arguably the individuals who shaped JDM car culture into what it is today. First, he takes a quick ride along and attends a car meet with Nobuteru Taniguchi, also known as "Nob," which stands for "No One Better." During this time with Nob, they also meet Maaya Orido, the daughter of the legendary racer Max Orido. Naturally, they decide to visit Max's shop. Finally, they have an exciting experience at Daigo Saito's shop, where he has a personal drift course for himself and his friends to enjoy when they need a break from work. Daigo Saito is arguably Japan's most famous drifter and car builder today. It's said that he and his team can transform a complete car into a full-fledged factory drift car in just under three months.

Max Orido, Taniguchi Nob, Keiichi Tsuchiya. The three musketeers who probably impacted and influenced every petrolheads life, especially if you're a JDM fan.

Keiichi Tsuchyia, Max Orido, Nobuteru Taniguchi, Tatsuru Ichishima, Yoshiharu Fujita, Junichi Umemoto, Kazuhiko "Smokey" Nagata, some of the names that really shaped the JDM culture for me, countless hours checking videos, builds, magazines. All together it made me a massive JDM fan.

I love how real they are; no it's a secret hype stuff. You walk in, ask what they are working on, and they get excited, and run over to show you their new cool thing.

@Zoko889 Ай бұрын

The driver I can remember before these three was Kurosawa Motoharu which goes by the name as "Gan-san". His racing history, skills and style had shown how brave and guts he was on track. Tsuchiya Keiichi called him "Jii-sama" in the past for knowing his racing behavior on track. One of the example was suprising brave late-braking overtaking technique which caused other drivers shocked and scared. And other was fierce blocking technique in which the opponent had to brake because too scared to pass on the inside and not enough room to overtake.

@kinotabi- Ай бұрын

The nickname Tsuchiya gave Gan-san wasn't G-sama it was 'jii-sama' (じいさま), basically respectfully teasing him for being an old man (compared to Tsuchiya at the time). A lot of the other BM casters referred to him as oyaji as well given he was a member of the elder statesmen of Japanese racers (along with Moto Kitano Moto, Kunimitsu Takahashi, or Masahiro Hasemi).

Gan San is one of the gods but he wasn't really responsible for JDM culture imo

@rahulsudhir666 Ай бұрын

I wonder if Daigo could've done something else instead of goin TT. Those NA 6.2 AMGs especially in their GT3 form are absolute monsters n sound rowdy as hell! If I remember correctly the GT cars have the engines further inwards compared to their road goin counterparts so that its more balanced. Weistec has a supercharger kit for the SLS which bumps standard SLS's power to around 850bhp. So I'm sure they'll be able to get at least another 100bhp more outta it from the race car. They sound insane too. TTs muffle that glorious engine sounds.

I used to drive from The Bronx to EWA hobby shop in New Jersey just to buy Best Motoring dvds. That was back in 2001 after I bought Gran Turismo 3. I was looking in a car magazine(Super Street or Honda Tuning) and saw an ad from EWA. I then went to buy the Super GT300 G’Zox NSX. Walked around to another shelf, saw the Drift Bible dvd and was like what’s this? Hooked from then on. I moved to Australia back in 2008 and just this year at world Time Attack at Sydney Motorsport Park. Got to meet and take a picture of Keiichi Tsuchiya before he went drifting in the Hyundai N EV! So cool to meet your heros. :)
