TURBOS & TEMPLES 2 // JDM Feature Film 4K

washed because the car is in very good condition. I don't think the old one would have been driving like that, so I'm going to put some fancy wheels on it. these stalls just to get my handcuffs off absolutely um well I'll figure out where there's something we can go buy some stuff photo box that's it garage we'll end up visiting all of these places if they're outside of this trailer. Worry, we'll go to all of them and buy some crazy stuff for you and us. Driving in another country can be quite difficult, luckily for us, Japan and Australia drive on the left side of the road, use kilometers, not miles, and drive from the right side of the car, road signs have it too. what is known as Ramon G, where Japanese words are spelled using an alphabet that we can read and understand with this and a good GPS, getting your bearings is much easier than before, as long as you have an international driver's license.

We're ready, so we arrive at Super Auto Beck's, the Creative Car Life store. I want to go to technical service. Pete is amazing, it's you. I don't know, I've never seen anything that big. It's like the size of throwaway Bunnings, but. this is the biggest one i have ever seen in my life this is crazy it's like the supercharger valve doesn't plug on these everyone does it's everything isn't even connected correctly but that's the bypass control valve and that's the vacuum line that's supposed to go in, but it's been there, you can see by the mark, it's more like it's been permanently disconnected, but you can see, yeah, yeah, you know it's not connected, but also like you're vacuum lines would have disappeared.

Yeah I suggest if we can get vacuum lines it's like replacing all the ones we can see it's definitely not going to hurt it was an easy thing to try so vacuum lines spark plugs yeah make the oil because we can yeah , try to find some. Skinny your tires so you're not scrubbing, that's a start, man, and then we're gone just so we can't get any more water. Sadness in Japan if we fail, probably a lot. Oh, so many, come on, so many cars for sale. I have never realized how many second-hand cars, cars and bikes, and I made little lunch boxes that looked like nuggets.

This place is huge. It shows that car shops in Japan are brilliant and full of parts and accessories to modify your car. Customizing and personalizing cars is a big deal. here, so there are endless ways to do it, as there are so many different models of cars, from VIP cruisers to small wrecks, the parts store has items in stock for almost all of them, there is less stuff available for older cars like the The idea of ​​novelty is attractive in both cars and modifications. There are fewer mechanical parts available on the shelves as retail is more segregated, but we've managed to find a vacuum hose that will help fix some of the issues with our little car.

So we even went to a 165 at Bridgestone, I mean, that's great and it's still a good size for the car up to 165, although it will only be tall but it will also lower the profile, so we lose 10 millimeters of width, yeah, and 50/50 more. It's still better than nothing, even if it's still worn out, at least we're not trying to fit huge tires on it. Said 15 mil is quite substantial for having a lower rolling diameter. Hopefully, they'll get us out of trouble. We had to cut the arches, Martin, going up, yeah, the width is like 5% less with less side walls and less circumference, so this aisle here is basically some of the crazy stuff we found when we bought cars in Japan, They have many strange things. things like these cans down here that say this is not an LED ashtray, please smoke in coke form.

I mean, it's like who thinks about it and then who makes it and then who actually makes it and then who buys it by smoking it. It's a really big thing in Japan since people smoke everywhere and this whole hallway is filled with smoke. I think this instead of a funnel, I think it's meant to connect to the top of that, so instead of using a funnel, it just connects. That big long hose and then you just tip the other end in, that's not something we get in Australia, that's why I'm going to buy it, so down here, shoot and lift something else that you don't see in Australia.

You can take your shoes off before you get in the car, keeping it nice and clean and crazy, and there's loads of different sizes, loads of different types, something you never see in Australia, because well, because this isn't Australia, so here. obviously you have your spare flares just stay here casually and we won't be able to get back to Australia but it would be fun if we could but we should get some to like while we're here in case there's an emergency all kinds of crazy lights your block shot of course whatever it is I just need an oil drain pan and now I think we're ready to go so tires we found some tires so they asked me to drive the car.

I found some bridge stones, it will feel a little better. Someone has put spare wheels on this thing, which means we're having some scrubbing issues, which is a pain, but we should be fine if we can downsize our tires a bit. A little bit, the rims are actually a lot thicker than necessary, so we're going to use a smaller size and the rims are very easy to get. There are tons of them and unlike a TRAI, they have a cake in our sizes which is amazing. amazing because trying to get mirror tires next to impossible tires, particularly high performance ones like the Rawi three, I just want to say that people don't have high performance kei cars, they are actually like the cars you drive to the stores, so I'm going To take our super turbo to the service pit, you can come with us.

The service areas are super well equipped to quickly serve hundreds of customers who arrive at the workshop all at once. There may also be a lot of attention to detail. For us, because our wheels are not factory size, we can't actually fit the factory specified large super turbo tires on the car, which worries the technicians as they may not change our tires because They won't want us. put the wrong size even though these are not the right size anyway let's see what happens although the current feeling is that we are still not sure if they will leave us the tires we want on the aftermarket wheels, it is in largely a decision. -the book thing, yes, we don't want to put tires that aren't supposed to make the car fair enough for insurance and everything else, except this, they are already aftermarket wheels and the sides will go, it's better, I think we're I'll get there.

I feel good. It feels like a test, but I feel good. Well, we'll leave the car here. Hopefully we'll get it back with some new tires if you don't. I'll have to try it somewhere else, so one of the options you have here with four trumpets is 400 Hertz 500 Hertz 600 Hertz, which gives your tonic a major third or a fifth and together you get a pretty good major third. Hey, then. Before Marty, when he was looking for an oil pan, he was talking. I wonder what you say oil pan. I was thinking maybe I'll just add like a root at the end, oh oh, I'll be ascending soon or ooh, pen for these digits and then I looked at the translator, it's a ceiling hand, oh yeah, cool, awesome, so we just grant a couple of bridge loans for these are for compact cars and this is a compact car.

You can see the fit here, they're in at one point and they're down about 15k so I'm hoping that fixes a scrubbing issue we're having in the back because we really don't want to go down the road scrubbing the aisle. I know some people think that scouring their life in bad life and all that. That kind of rubbish, but that scrubbing sound is like the sound of your tire ripping, so that's not ideal, so we have two in there, we put two more in and then we'll hit the road and go down to the garage. We're going to buy some other parts, then we'll service the car and then we'll be on the road and the road trip can begin.

We're lucky they agreed to change the tires considering how strict friends they can be sometimes. One of us in Japan needs a new battery for his key fob and the dealership refused to provide it because the car had spare wheels installed that did not meet the company's specifications. This is one of the strange paradoxes of Japan. There is a real sense of freedom in how people express themselves and how they modify their car, but this is in stark contrast to what is often a very conservative and rule-based society. hubcaps that you would have put on your car back in 1992, regardless of whether we managed to get a new set of tires that are now installed on our crazy little mission so you can see from here because they are going into the On the car, they put a bag over the seat and there's also a wrap around the steering wheel that looks like a hair net or something to keep everything nice and clean, that's so much better.

They will also check the torque which you don't often see in Australia a wrench like that, they often set their tools that way, yes they don't go through a second check and they do it in front of the customer as well. Yes, our conversations are correct about that adjustment. It's much better, it doesn't look like vegan grease, but considering that we won't get scraped when driving down the road and that they are actually the right size tires for those wheels, you can see why they don't stick out. Since they have to do with the actual width of the wheel, which is probably like a six-inch wheel.

You really don't go, especially if you have such a big tire on a small wheel. I think that will be a good thing. I think we're ready to go, people think they're ready to hit the road, we can't say if it's clear yet, but we're about to be able to say it, I hope not, it can't. scrub the same no, we have like 15 MLS with no tread diameter, these are the correct size tires for these wheels, from what you are looking at, this cut has been reduced, so yes, I review them as owners, what a legend, I will descend so polite , so legend friendly, amazing, change some lives of vacuum cleaners and then hit the road with some tools and parts in hand from the backs of cars, it's time to try to solve the mystery of misfires on our little March super turbo crazy car owners and enthusiasts.

The years have shown that the Achilles heel of this otherwise tough car is the vacuum system. It controls the way the supercharger and turbo work together and if something is wrong, causing you to hesitate to misfire and generally slowing you down, it's usually due. At the age of rubber parts they have a limited lifespan, so replacing them can recover all the lost power. It would be amazing if that fixed it, it was as good as it fixed it, it's idols and putts very well, so it's difficult Tell him until you really get up, yeah, but let's see, we just go around the block, no scrubbing, no scrub, man, we could fix that burski feels good, it felt good, family, you think it still has a slight hesitation, but I can't quite.

I mean, it still runs here in second and I'll say it's there, but it's not that bad, no, it's not that bad, not that bad, so that could be maybe when we get to the garage, throw out that spark plug that's probably never been changed in the last decade or two, that valve, if my memory serves me correctly, also that valve when it's worn out behaves like this, yeah, okay, it flutters and kind of doesn't work properly, so the first place to buy another one is the first key feels good either way I can Excel feels good yeah I probably couldn't speed up before and now I can so I'll call it a win okay let's continue to the upper garage he's a good man he has to be the Pope, now let's take some curry first, in fact let's add some curry so that it makes capers and curry, let's do it.

Oh, what's that STI, look at that, look at that thing? There's so much fat that's fat, so good that it would possess, so we're here in our Coconut Curry House this is like a staple down here, it's a little bit of rice, a little bit of fried things and happily, I eat fried things and Tasty, our car feels a little better. I don't know, he's 100%, but he feels like he's better, he feels like he's ready to hit the road, hurry up, then we'll go to the garage and then we can start our road trip. I guess, for example, Caesar salad, corn salad, super, that means amazing, oh, right after lunch, our next stop is.

One of our favorite destinations in Japan on this road for about 25 more days and of course it wouldn't be a proper JDM road trip without JDM snackssuitable. We haven't done a full snack haul yet, but I had time this morning. to get a couple of snacks, I have seaweed flavored peas and I think what's going to get Martin a little more excited is the meat flavored pizza, yeah look at it, no it's pizza, meat, flat crust meaty delights , pizza flavored fries, I don't know. why they exist or the need to exist, but I'm happy that they exist, that someone made the effort to make them.

They are amazing, can you open them? Japanese chips are a hard life and try to open them like you/lz1 watch how you do it. Do it, I just punched you in the face with the spice, give me an oh, it's not Japanese, they say that like tingle, tingle, tingle, look at them, look how big they are, man, look at the pizza on them, ah, you know to pizza. Yes, in Australia you buy a chip that tastes like yesterday's pizza, right? That doughy, meaty, fatty, really strong cheese you like mmm ah, but it tastes exactly as it looks on the packet, which is both terrifying and surprising, unlike the Australian ships. come on let's roast paprika and your tasters like that's the Stairmaster in salt hmm I was in Japan what you see is what you get like the super turbo look at that car what is that?

What is that thing? I've never seen one of those in the wild before I didn't know they actually drove right? That's how excited you are. I'm not actually driving.Wow, someone is spinning around is that stance, the revolution, that camel is like that, it was Ben, it was like the things you see on the Internet, yes, but usually in carboxyls. Robbie, it's no surprise we're about to enter a tunnel. Martin, yes, time will run out. time, try it on man, well I'll just put it on and proceed well, you should celebrate with pizza. It was so hot, I'm not lamb, would you like to have a masturbation session?

Yeah, oh, do we need the? Today's Coco topic is man, there are so many second-hand cars, let's do it at dealerships. I'll go first. Yeah, did you hear about the guy who walked into a commercial vehicle dealership and said I want a free vehicle and they turned around and said? No man no trucks given that was pretty good 10 look it's not a really huge c7 movie seven it's a give us six for the setup but like Pape the punchline that averages seven oh that's pretty good , I think we should both rate each other. - Joe cough skill Why was that?

Why was the truck delicious? Why was the Toyota truck dealer so good at poker? Because, oh, what a robbery, he stole everyone's money, no, because he knew a lot about Ohio. Oh, okay, I'm going to give another four out of ten without brutal uh not only that's because I want to inspire you because you have, you have, you got better, you got better let me see ah, did you hear about the car that went to the doctor because his leg was numb, my leg was numb 5c Why was the ship's captain disappointed when he tried to buy a car because it was full of semen?

I'm sorry, what's the answer? No, I really want to know because he was a dealer. Ideal. A boat that is quite good, thanks friend. It's pretty good. It's like a five. and a half, okay, I'll make a really bad one to finish, don't do it, no, it's not even funny, come on, why did Nissen keep playing a drum like blue to get a guitar? Because it was a Nissen March. Don't talk about anything else now, so this next stop will be my favorite place in Japan to buy used car stuff. We go there every time. No wonder this is the garage.

This is where you get angry. Second-hand JDM mods for your ride. And we hope to get here Martin, we want to hear the horn, right? This is real so I hope we can pick up some annoying style air flow meter/quad filter adapter yeah and this they just have so much stuff and they have all the stuff or when you're modifying an old car yeah this is a place to go because all their backs are flashy and shiny and good for new things this is the kind of hardware and you your um your girlfriend for a long time and she hated the old honk didn't love the honk so they have it but we have to bring the honk that's why we may or may not have been Cheryl let's bring back honky Cheryl comes to your head let's go to the garage for life so angry look at it look at it mate I can't believe it that's there.

I love the garage with all these wheels. Look, Fit Garage is a must-visit destination every time we come to Japan. There is nothing. Everywhere else in the world we can browse a great selection of second hand car parts for your Japanese high performance car and best of all it is usually very cheap, unfortunately from time to time in a workshop, due to the Since they are second hand, you really can't. We depend on the type of material that will be here because it changes so often that we cannot get a capsule culture. There is a stand-up filter and it's for a dyed hat suit, but there's no way it will fit our car, so we're probably just on our own.

We'll try it next time we see or any other auto parts store we see we'll stop by and try to get some parts. By the way, I didn't find anything either, whatever policy we are moving forward with. Prefecture in India, about two hours east of Osaka, the roads along the rivers and lakes are impressive and if the engineers couldn't hug the mountain when they made the road, they would dig straight through the side of the hill, which would which would result in some huge tunnels. nothing stands in the way of a great road so we were driving down the road on the way to Iger prefecture and we saw this place that I had to stop at and in a second you will understand why it also gave us a chance to stop and take a look because we're going to try to disconnect the supercharger because the little March still isn't running properly and Marty is looking at a diagram that a Japanese friend translated for us 10 years ago of his last Super Turbo and it was a Japanese diagram that we got and we used that translation to fix something, so he's on the net looking at some old Mighty Car Mods to figure out how to fix it, but why are we here?

Well I was driving and by chance we came across this, we usually associate the classic mini scene with Britain, but in Japan minis are huge, I mean they are small, these little cars are absolutely everywhere, while in most Of the countries the mini market decreased in the 90s, in Japan it completely disappeared. through the roof and they continued to sell these minis in the Japanese market, all these JDM minis until about the year 2000, that is before the newer BMW minis aka Maxie were made, but they sold many of these minis in Japan and this is where I got my JD and my Mini I have a green British racing one that has since been converted with a B 16 B which is a 1.6 liter engine from a Civic Type R but this is not something you see , it's just a playground. of crazy mini things, I mean I've never seen anything like this and you just wouldn't expect to see something like this in Japan, look how many there are, look at them and this is just half of them, there's another one completely up there. just minis minis minis as far as the eye can see there are crazy ones that are abandoned they have big wheels someone has mini lights I have other rare JDM wheels there are some like more British inspired ones this is just amazing part of the reason these cars are so popular in Japan is that from the beginning minis were always cars that people wanted to customize and modify, it is in the DNA of the design and this fits perfectly with the sensibility of the Japanese who want to personalize their cars in the mini scene.

It's so big here that you often see more modified Minis on the road than some of the more traditional Japanese performance cars associated with this country, such as Amata Supras and Civics, but like the R34 GTR, the Prices for these minis have recently gone through the roof. A few years ago, a clean example like this could be had for around five thousand dollars, now prices for a similar vehicle are closer to $25 thousand. What an incredible pleasure to see all these crazy old minis here on the outskirts of Osaka, Japan. Meanwhile, here the car is getting a couple of stickers to celebrate that we fixed our intermittent stuttering type of problem, not by doing anything amazing but by bypassing the supercharger.

Now I feel a little bad that I bought him a car that doesn't quite run, but these are just the small inconveniences of buying an old JDM car. Everyone who owns one knows that's how it works, but for now we're getting down to business as we slowly modify this car. Oh no and we got a blowout oh he's good he'll fix it there we go awesome so the supercharger was overlooked just so we can drive a little bit on the highway because on the way here we had to do some hills and those things and upload them.

It was really starting to be a burkha and now we've taken it off which means the cars lag a lot but when you start singing it somehow keeps going because it's still running on crazy boost on the turbocharger but we could get past it. our mate Rob's garage at Import Monster and that will give us a chance to do some stuff and have a look around with some proper tools. We don't have everything we need to do it right now, so the next step is just get back in the car, hit the road and let's go eat Opie, imagine yourself driving or I'm driving.

Rock, paper, scissors, one, two, three, one, four, seven, six, zero, 21b, double zero, what is that? That's the part number for the feet that will probably solve our problem with a supercharger, make it the bypass control valve, aka UFO, you know. I know I searched a micro forum and found a post of mine from almost exactly 10 years ago that says this is the part number and when it's broken, this is what it does, which is exactly what our car is doing right, and then when you fix it by heating it in an oven or sending it around the world in the mail, I assume it will stay somewhere very hot for a while. a little bit by mistake, rats or whatever and then you get it and then you plug it in, it works again, okay, so we basically get a heat gun and shoot it.

I have the feeling that I already do this part because that's how it was, I mean, they only did it 10 years ago there's no way they can do it this well the ideas get stuck full of things so they can't avoid them because there's junk in them yeah, it's like a little diaphragm on your rubber diaphragm and it gets clogged full of all the oil that's in the old engine you know it's pumping oil through your vacuum system yeah it's going to get clogged so I think we'll try using a Heat cutter, we have nothing to lose, I mean, we have a turbo car now, yeah. which is cool but this is a super turbo and this super means supercharged yeah so we have to try to get it working when will we do that when I'm done looking for parts diagrams in the middle of the roads in Japan but at least I have boost, but since there is no supercharger that is meant to eliminate that eNOS lag, I'll show you how long it lasts.

Look at this when you turn this corner. I'll plant it first, wait for the lag plant to arrive. a big turbo for a small engine it's actually a HT 10 which is too big for a 1 liter force it's probably good for 1.30 1.5 yeah so you have all that extra lag it can spin that, but normally the supercharger, is making the engine more efficient, which makes the turbo come on faster, yeah, well at least we have a turbocharger. It's not better than no turbo. It's time to add all the zoom. I should look at all your posts on the forum.

It's very strange because all the questions. I'm like asking, I go to forums and do the usual advance. I keep looking for it and then my name comes up and some of the posts are really good and some like here's this big head and I realize it's me. Really bad, it's like I need that guy when the sun sets on our first day of the road trip. We passed Eger Castle and the eager IU ninja museum, but across the road there's a big industry, some of the biggest names. in the car scene, there are factories here, often the size of a small suburb, they are located next to rice fields, farms, shops, houses and even castles, so filling up with petrol or gas is slightly different in Japan than in Australia;

It's actually similar to the way it's made in America, which is that at first you have to pay upfront although you don't know exactly how much you need, which can be a little confusing, so what you want to do if you're playing with cash it's hitting this one if you're playing with a card, you hit this one and then you lift the flap and slide your card in, it'll read it and say, hey, we'll read your card, we'll give it back to you, thank you very much. a lot, once you've taken the card it will say matches, which will basically show a bunch of things in case you need any changes.

I don't really understand what that means, it will light up, what is it?past what the 240 set had to do to take on the Porsche 911 now, of course, this one. It was built here in Suzuka, which is close to here, and it has Honda's incredible VTEC, which I'll show you now and just listen to the NSX. I mean, that's amazing. The Honda NSX was produced in Japan between 1990 and 2005. It was a revolutionary car for its time with the use of weight-saving aluminum and in 1995 it

feature

d the first electronic throttle fitted to a Honda and the first production car in the world with connecting rods. of titanium and forged pistons that accelerated up to eight thousand three hundred rpm, famous for its handling.

The suspension setup was the result of Ayrton Senna collaborating with Honda engineers at the Suzuka circuit, all back in the game, yes, and with a capsule filter that is incredible, stolen from a car. drifts from the horizon, it really fits, so the missing supports are all the same. It's the same, there may be a little sticky substance on the gasket, but we have cleaned everything. I just cleaned the air flow meter, cleaned everything and I just need these cable ties on these vacuum hoses to blow them up. of our UFO and I think this is the best it's going to be, but if we do a little test drive we'll know for sure, hopefully we'll have some supercharger back and hopefully we won't have too much stutter, yes the turbo will .

Start faster and with that we should have some epic honks that NSX needs a turbo. Oh, how did it go? I can say their cars have come a long way since the 80's. They are nuggets. This is from the '80s. I know this is a nugget too, yes, but this was amazing. Would you have a super turbo or an intersect? Wow, how cute, you know? NSX doesn't mean new 60-something sports car. ex does it and ex is like the unknown, the mathematical unknown, so definitely the key no, you have the key, yeah, Mike on the key, okay, let's do this, bring the girlfriend who hates the horn, I hope she still works man it sounds pretty good it sounds good the idols a little louder which isn't surprising if we've messed with the whole system it's like 500rpm higher it's not an idiot or it wasn't idling probably before now it is I hear you, yeah, let's do this, bring the pig, ready, yeah, that's awesome, bring it, you go there, buddy, we're back. the game yes, thanks man, do you know what we have won, but what did we win?

We have earned a delicious JDM drink. Now we are supercharged and turbocharged and heading east through Matsusaka to be a Kura where they make machi craft B and soy sauce. Japan is not only famous for its crazy cars, it is famous for all kinds of things, but one of the most famous things is soy sauce, which has been made here for hundreds of years and practically accompanies all meals, so let's go . We headed to a traditional soy sauce brewery to see exactly how it's made and see if we can help. They even make B here, so we might try to get one. a couple of those while we're at it, I think you need me beero Mon Ami Atma without a pet, turns out the reason she looks so confused isn't because she speaks terrible French , it's because they actually make the Beast somewhere else, this is just a place where they make soy sauce, so let's go in and check it out, so here we are at the car door hunting, they make miso beer and also soy sauce soy we are in now not only smells delicious. this is where soy sauce has been made for the last hundred years and these barrels that you can see are over 500 years old and they are no longer made because all modern places use big stainless steel vats and this is made in a way that It's um, it's made, yeah, very similar to brewer's yeast, there's water, salt, and soy beans, yeah, that's right, and those three things that they put in there ferment and the environment they're in changes the flavor. very well in many places making it on an industrial scale in stainless steel, these barrels are from the Edo period of Japan hundreds and hundreds of years ago, so they have a unique flavor and we're going to break some out and put them in our us.

We're not going to trash it, we're going to be Lee deliciously, delicately, tastefully and culturally sensitive, enjoying ourselves a little, but in our meal tonight, oh, that's not what I expected it to look like at all, how does it look? See, not how would you do it? I hope we make it, we still want to eat it well, I thought it would look like sauce. I guess they just have the soybeans, they have the water and the salt and then all these buns must be holding it up. down and then you look at the year so the year is thirty using 30 right now behind us here's 29 and there's a little 28 down there so that's two years so one's been there two years it'll be interesting to see. in the two years it's been covered, so there must be something like, yeah, just doing their thing, it's very interesting, I mean UCB breweries and stuff everywhere, but I feel like soy sauce is what normally it would be done in some factory somewhere, not through this, you know, they're just not old school ideas.

Incredible, this is not a laugh that shakes it all the way, oh look, that's crazy, shake it up, Gentleman, look at that thick hat that smells good, look at this thing stuck to the side of the thing, poor Cheryl, the Soy sauce originated in China, where. Condiments were originally used as a way to preserve food. Eventually, this process was developed and arrived in Japan hundreds of years ago, where the Japanese perfected their own brewing methods. Legend has it that while making miso, Zen monk Kuku Shin noticed the liquid leaking out. Today it tasted delicious, there are bottles of soy sauce on tables all over the world and Japan makes some of the best and here they make it the same traditional way it has been done for hundreds of years so we have to go to search for them. ourselves a little bit of this so we can jdmf I all our food, but we've also always said that every time we buy one of these cars from Japan, they always smell like we, they smell like cigarette smoke, cigarette smoke, swear, swears, and gasoline and gasoline, so that combination of four things with some legit JDM sauce we add a little bit of sweat, a little bit of cigarette smoke, a little bit of gasoline, put it in a little container, spray it all over your body and the second JDM applies his car, we'll find some people to help us smoke and carry newspapers because I don't want to, but I think we can work on the sweat part with a little running around here and gas is no problem and get some soy sauce, we should go find out how good it is.

Shall we take it? Oh, let's go, Mr. Boss, it's just a good job, thank you mom, this is the main control and they give us a job. I don't think they gave us a job, man, but the interesting thing about this is that wow, wow, there are some. Special magical things on the cover happen just like people have these fantasies about Japanese cars. Wow, that's a special cover. This is just plywood. This is just varnish out of a can. There's nothing particularly mysterious here, except what we've seen in Japan. a lot of people came RDR they are making things themselves like someone made this like they didn't contact a factory and say go give us ten of these things.

You can see that someone cut it with some kind of jigsaw and now it's being painted all over and this gentleman has three legs and arms while we help and maybe we can exchange it for a bottle of soy sauce, that's a great idea Martin, look at that, well, what is divided? Oh, I missed a place, so this is one of the river stones that they put on top of those big 500 year old tubs, they use these panels that my good friend here was painting to help and then they stack these stones on top and it's an easy way to put them on top to add lots and lots and lots of pressure to squish all the ingredients together so they can finally squish all the crazy sauce after it's been there for a couple of years so you throw in a big pile and you get a some crazy soy sauce with a new appreciation for savory things, it's time to buy some souvenirs and then get ready to hit the road again, where are we going next, so next we're going to the legit Matsusaka Beef Farm because We are receiving help because We like to help because we have skills, right?

This area is really famous for its beef, but the Matsusaka beef farm is so legit that they only have four cows, just like a traditional farm. It's the unicorn. It's like the GTR. In California, Japan, in the Matsusaka cow world, they also have tea, so we can potentially make our own tea, although I think that takes many years, but we could wait there while our teas are ready and there you have it with our mochi. However, for you that's really not having a little soy sauce riding around in our crazy car. I could get used to eating that fresh chili every day, that's delicious.

The problem is that now you heard that you will never want him again. Well, oh, what a good chili. Well, mom, it's one thing to go to a country and enjoy the cities, the cars and the roads, but a country like Japan with a population of 126 million people needs food, so we're on our way to visit a farm in a couple hours. I had never been to a proper Japanese farm before and I really like farms. I think farms are a great thing. I'm glad they exist. They create things from nothing, all kinds of different foods and the best thing is that you can grow crops on a cow or you can grow lettuce, that is what can go into our cultivation and in the case of the area we are in there are a lot of rice and when there is no rice there is a lot of wheat and normally they start going between both different crops depending on the At that time of year, working with rice requires that they can flood the entire rice field, so most of the time you are in the flat areas, but there are also other types of farms that are in the hills, which I have also noticed.

It's just that if it's flat in Japan it generally has something, yes, and if it's mountainous, no. I grew up on a farm, I grew up in a goat area, actually in Ogen Berg, the goats start pulling there, yes, they are a kind of goats. of weapons, yeah, if we weren't in Super Turbo right now, which car would you rather be in if you could choose from the JDM smorgasbord? The JDM smorgasbord sounds pretty good, maybe a mirror that you also own, you really know Suzuki Alto Works would be something cool, but it sounds kind of predictable, doesn't it?

I was going to say a mini, but it would actually be an rx-7. Look, I was going to say on our 34th. Really the only time I felt like I don't really want to. Being in any different car especially for this, but when we're on the highways and everyone likes the speed limit says 80 but everyone just breaks it, yeah, I think there's some kind of rule on some of the highways that require you to be doing a minimum. like one of the ones we saw said 50 and if you go under 50 you will be fine as well as if you go above, which seems to make a little sense, but this car actually handles very well on the road, yeah, but if I had my choice, it will be an RX-7, I think that's what I would look like sitting on that highway like you know, with people speeding past me.

I was thinking the high end r34 GTR divers got into the Super Cub, oh really. good r34 GTR, I think it would be great, especially on those big highways and then, so boss, we were on a section that was probably 20k is long, yeah, I think when I saw the toll go up it was about $15 bucks. to go Metro they are so good, super smooth, no traffic r34 GTR, well part of the problem is if everyone around the world keeps buying them and they're not here anymore, yeah, and I mean I know some people who live here and they're just sitting there's 34 they were just waiting because some car sales are close to 200k they're treating it like bitcoins like it's 34 bitcoins except they won't have them in bronze well that's it. it could mean you never know the import law has apparently just changed in Australia meaning we can bring this home because for a long time we couldn't.

Yeah, I mean, keep in mind that my old folks snuck through some loophole that existed for a very short period of time and then they closed that loophole and now they apparently knew that not even a loophole is the new rules that say yes , okay, just do it then, but the best JDM for road trips, the seven r34 GTR car, the horizon, imagine that man, Bayside. blue in those crazy blacks, well, like this fall, trees everywhere, the highway, everyone goes 160, you just shoot at a hundred. I'm not even disagreeing with you because it's like my grand tourer, isn't it like it was made to do that type?

Driving, yes, but look at the tap, you'd rather be in an RX-7. I know you wouldn't rather be nice, it wouldn't be an rx-7, why should you be on the side of the road? Here we go, burn the behind this, I'll just be there reliable, you know why because this unlikely is reliable, yeah, everything works, I mean, except it didn't work,Dude, I get it, I mean, I'm not even disagreeing with you, everything you're saying is true throughout, except that for this type of trip, the RX-7 would be the most superior driving experience. No wonder you'd experience it if you had an R 34 GTR, whether Bayside blue or black with crazy wheels, right?

That's just a cliche now, I'm not saying it's not technically awesome, but I'm saying it's like the kid's car of the internet, which is totally fine, but the rx-7 is still like the bad boy of the date for the JDM world. it's still the car you would go in oh I wasn't expecting that and that's what I think you have to do. I can tell you more your salt. I can completely respect and understand where you're coming from philosophically. I think there's something to that, but the r34 is so iconic and the rotary is kind of a weird thing that happened and then didn't happen and then disappeared and then they made it start, they made an rx-8, I mean.

Look, you went from rf7 tonight, no, no, and then we went from 34 to 35. I mean, they're both disasters, absolute disaster, absolute disaster, like we could agree on that weekend and if we can say that the rx-7 is like the definitive version. of what it is and that the r34 GTR is an older version of what it is, we are a big man, if we can agree on that then all we have to do is go back to Japan, take 1 hour and go for a ride which is light. omni-million dollar idea I don't think it's a good one, man, I'm so glad we had this talk.

I really feel good, I feel good, whether it's the waterfall. I feel good. In general, I feel good. I feel good. I feel even better with some meat. on my face i would feel even better if i had my rx-7 it seems i still can't pick it up i bet it falls better the waterfall in this temple has brought a new sense of deep peace and centrality and now we are on the right path, now we know that someday we will have to travel around Japan in our 34 GTR and an RX-7, but for now we are back in the top vehicle and that trip continues to do important work in a little bit.

Japanese farm, so we liked a legit Matsusaka meat farm. This is a really small farm and I'm going to be mad at the little Honda, with postie bike style things similar to my CT 110 I have at home. Automatic clutch and marty has finished his plans and fields in a Kubota how are you? I love this man. I was made to plow things. This is so good. I love plowing things. This is incredible. How is your tractor doing? You have a Kubota at home. but you actually have a Kubota at home. I have a KX 41 v3 excavator, but this is a level up.

I love it. a little arm, well I don't know if I can make this work, maybe I can do a little off-roading with you, how's your bike experience going? Wow, very good man, send a little cruise around Japan, it's a beautiful afternoon here. In the fields everything reproduces and dad is epic. I'd really like to rear-end you. He's got some big blades and stuff lying around. I'm going to play some more. How fast does that thing go? Look at it, you're plowing. I'm plowing, buddy, you're actually plowing. I know it's a strange relationship with me. This is the godfather.

I am contributing to the economy and food growth in another nation. I'm helping. I'm being a useful human being on a tractor. this is helping somehow somehow I'm plowing this field plowing it good I have to pick up the plow now it was going up spinning here come on Marty I'm going to try to get some air out of the edge of this food don't break it are you ready? yes, I will make a race, it stings well, idiot, what are you doing? You're ruining my field, I just planted that and went for a run again, so we'll speed up this time.

I'm in second place. Now I'll have to go more. You're ruining my field. What an amazing place. This is incredible. This is not only what a farm is also. When you look at this place, if you see a house and a little burger, cool burger or whatever, there are several of them, but then it could be like grandma's house, uncle's house and great-grandma's house, more families They lived, even families together. Amazing Wiccans. like there's a lesson in that for everyone and the other thing too is that people farming is hard work, yeah, and it's work that's often unappreciated because people don't really know where their food comes from, how comes to them and Something that we've talked about before and what's also incredible is that these people are not just buying things to get rid of them, buying to get rid of them, we asked before, like who built this wall there, like ancestors, ancestors, they can't even say what it was. grandmother, grandfather or great-grandfather like, oh that was 400 years ago, yeah, at least I've been here that long, it's just amazing since we're from such a young nation and then you come here and say, wow, that's the next level and them!

I've been looking at these mountains for like 20 generations. Is incredible. Is incredible. I've done a good job playing this field and you've done a good job ruining it. Now I have to play again. I've been helping you plow it. My crazy little 50cc Honda, should I jump? I think the only way you can really redeem yourself is to dig a proper dirt path to plant roses for all the seeds because otherwise I have to go and reproduce everything I think we have. We actually have to go, I think we'd probably have to go so they don't get too mad at us for being armed, so we just go, so we do it quickly, a little bit, it just disappears, you know, there are people who sneak away . of the parties, yes, they don't really say goodbye, they just leave.

In the final installment of this story, we continue down the road toward Tokyo, where our little car has a date with destiny.
