Imagine buying a brand new top Spec’d Tommykaira S13 Silvia for just over 20k… I need a time machine.

[kahlialynch]

Wow I had no idea Tommy Kaira had so many models!

[septanos]

The R31 looks gorgeous with the tommykaira touch

You actually missed the Tommykaira B4 Legacy's / BE5 and BH5 models. I owned a TK built M20b B4 with the full 2.2l engine package - insane car thats now been lost to time and careless owners. Probably one of 10 made in the exact spec it had, with 300 legacy's of that generation being built (including both wagons and sedans)

Regarding the gentlemen's agreement, it wasn't disregarded. Tomita told in his blog posts how he had to work with the homologation office and create a car safer to drive with 70 extra PS. That must be why it took two years after the announcement.

Great chronological overview of Tommykaira's early models. Looking forward to seeing part 2 and also an M30z feature if you get around to it!

Regarding the transmission types in the M30z, it appears as though there were about the same amount of autos made versus manuals (50/50 based on around half of the total 43). Although the power figures for the auto were lower, the torque specs were 470Nm compared to 456Nm for the manual. If Tommykaira tuned the auto for 350ps, the torque figures would've been much higher again.

Given the significant price increase of these car's compared to a standard 300zx, they weren't purchased by your average boy racer. The customer chose the colour, transmission, body type (2+2 or 2+0 targa roof, or 2+0 slicktop), and choice of tuning options (not all car's received the full mod list).

Due to these various choices it makes all of the M30z's rare in some sense. The photo's of the red slicktop you featured is car number 23. It was one of 11 built in red (black being the most popular), it received all of the upgrades including Recaro seats, and is one of very few 2+0 slicktops.

Owner of an R33 M25, brill vid man, its hard to information for these

[jeeves_uk]

I love the Matiz it's such a goober

[jakewetherill]

One very minor correction, the Nissan Cima was built to compete with the Toyota Crown Majesta, not the Century. It slotted in between the Cedric/Gloria, and President in terms of price. Love the video though! Saw an original R32 M30 at a show when I lived in Okayama and it was the coolest thing there

[edh]

Guy who lived near me used to have a Red 2 door TommyKaira GC8 Impreza M20B on white rims, had the twin element wing. That thing was cool and intriguing in equal measure to a teenage car enthusiast, he wasn’t likely to pull up next to another one of them at the lights in Plymouth England.

Great video, sub earned 🫡

T top roof is a targa with a centre longitudinal reinforcing bar going from the roll hoop to the windscreen frame, resulting in a roof made of two removable glass panels. A Z32 with T Top was driven on Top Gear's affordable sportscar challenge and Clarkson threw the driver side glass panel in a ravine

[cheharrison]

Hey man, another cool video. Have you heard of the Juicebox YT channel? He found some Tommy Kaira bits for his March. Look forward to your next episode dude. 🤘

[artoodiitoo]

Holy poopoo, Tommy Kaira merc would be so cool

[hexgraphica]

Very good video, hoping part two is coming soon

[manekun_]

I was lucky enough to see a R33 Tommykaira! It was amazing. Also thank you for the videos, I recently found your channel. Super happy, subbed!

[fossilfueled]

Great video. Looking forward to the next!

[HueWave]

man i loved your channel, please catalogue as much of these tuned cars as you can because theres so many from so many tuning shops, most of which are completely forgotten like the r32 GTB (which is essentially a 4 door gtr made by autech) and the autech NA RB26s as a example on the r32 autech version (gts-4)

[JDMArchives]

Thanks to everyone who subscribed in my last video! It was great having all the comments come in.

If you spot any extra Tommykaira information on these cars I missed, comment it, so I can try include it in the full video!

[claudiobizama]

Can't wait for you to cover the beast that was the Tommykaira M08.

Interesting seeing their Z32 model offered in slick-top variant, I wonder if it was a naturally aspirated car or if it was one of the few Japanese Z32’s that were slicktop and Twin Turbo. If it was a factory slicktop Twin Turbo car, I would assume that it would probably be one of the rarest Z’s out there.
