COOL JAPANESE WHEELS

2011-11-18T09:00:00.001+08:00

It's no secret that we talk about wheels a lot here on Speedhunters. I mean they are probably the most important component in how a car looks, right? Some people say that wheels to a car are like shoes to a person, but in my opinion the importance of having decent wheels on a car is more important than the shoes someone is wearing. I came up with the idea of doing individual posts about our favorite wheels from all over the world, but before we do that, I want to just give a quick rundown of some of the most popular Japanese wheels from the early days up until now. What better to start with than the iconic vintage wheels that have remained popular from their introduction all the way to the present?

While a lot of people might have the impression that used JDM wheels are much cheaper in Japan than elsewhere, I don't think that is necessarily true when it comes to the original vintage wheels. Unlike some of later wheels which have not aged well, the old school models continue to be popular and they will only grow more valuable as the years go on. The classic car scene in Japan is booming and strong demand for these wheels has kept prices relatively high. There are still a lot of nice wheels to be found, but don't expect to walk into your nearest Up Garage and come across a set of flawless RS Watanabes on sale for dirt cheap.

Another good thing about these old wheels is that the bolt patterns of nearly all vintage Japanese cars is 4x114.3 which makes searching for wheels quite easy. Just pick the style and sizes, and you're good to go.

Keep in mind that this isn't supposed to a be a definitive wheel guide, just an intro to some of the popular models for those who might not be familiar.

RS Watanabe
How could I not start things off with the RS Watanabe? There is nothing that even comes close to these in popularity for vintage Japanese cars. There are many different variations on the original eight-spoke design, but I will save those details for a later post. It's not just the classic car guys that love Watanabes, I have seen them on nearly every type of Japanese car you can think of, and plenty of foreign cars as well. Whether you have an S30Z, an AE86, or a Mazda Roadster, there is nothing that these wheels don't look good on. I even see minivans and kei cars with RS Watanabes when I go to the grocery store. Heck I recently bought a set of Watanabes for a car that I don't even own yet! That's the appeal that they have.

Hayashi Street
The Hayashi Street might be the second most popular vintage Japanese wheel. There are a few different types of Hayashi Street wheels, but the most popular one is the CR type like the ones seen above. The CR's come in the most aggressive sizes like the radical 15"x10J -25. Even with the recent surge in popularity of classic Japanese cars worldwide, it is still pretty rare to see Hayashi Streets on cars outside of Japan. Fortunately, if you have the means you can still order brand new sets today direct from Hayashi Racing in Japan.

Hayashi Sakura
The Hayashi Racing Sakura wheel is one of the hardest to find and most desirable on the secondhand market. As the name suggests, the design of this wheel was inspired by the famous Japanese cherry blossom leaves. Although used sets are extremely hard to come by, Hayashi Racing has started reproduction of brand new Sakura wheels. I have been to a lot of classic car events in Japan, but the red Kenmeri Skyline seen above is one of just a few cars I have seen sporting a set of Sakuras.

SSR Mk.1
The Speed Star Racing name is legendary when it comes to vintage Japanese wheels and the Mk.1 model was one of the most popular. A lot of kyusha-kai guys in Japan will run Mk.1's in ridiculous widths on their cars. The design on the Mk.1 is quite notable for its lack of any vents or spokes on the face of the wheel. They remind me a lot of the original Centerline wheels in the United States. You can usually find a pretty good deal on a set of Mk.1's on the used parts market.

SSR Mk.II
Another popular SSR wheel is the Mk.II with it's distinct four-spoke face design. Like all of the other original SSR wheels the Mk.II can be had in some extremely aggressive sizes. Mk.II's can be still be ordered brand new direct from SSR along with the rest of the original SSR wheel designs. I really love the way the Mk.II looks on small cars like the Mini or on Roadsters like the MX5.

SSR Mk.III
The Mk.III is my personal favorite of the SSR "Mk. series". Just look at how great that looks! Of course these wheels look fantastic on classic cars, but they also look great on newer compact cars and I have seen quite a few done-up kei cars with Mk. III's. This is truly a timeless wheel design, and many other people must share the same view judging by the prices these things sell for on the used wheel market.

SSR Formula Mesh/Reverse Mesh
Mesh style wheels did not become popular until a little after some of the other wheels in this post, but when it comes to Japanese brand mesh designs, the SSR Formula Mesh and Reverse Mesh is king. These don't pop up quite as much on the '70s era cars, but they are very popular among AE86 and S13 Silvia enthusiasts. You will even see them on a fair amount of front wheel drive Hondas.

SSR Longchamp
Not only is the name "Longchamp" very cool in itself, but the wheels also happen to look cool with their simple six-spoke design and multi-piece construction. The Soarer in the photo above is equipped with a very aggressive set of them. Longchamp wheels are quite common both in Japan and elsewhere and sometimes I am surprised how affordable these wheels can be when you consider how cool they look.

Work Equip
The various models of the Work Equip line are still seen often on cars all over the world. I don't recall seeing a ton of "classic" cars with Equips in comparison to the other wheels seen above, but the Equips are still very popular even among people with later model cars. All of the Tec-Arts AE86 demo cars are "equipped" with aggressive sets of Work Equip 03's and they look amazing with their gleaming polished wheel lips.
Well, that finishes up the first part of my look at iconic Japanese wheels. Next time we will get a little more contemporary.

Greetings,

I came across your website and it brings back a lot of memories of my childhood in Brunei. My name is Ven Rao and I lived in Brunei (Jalan Ong Sum Ping) from 1973 until 1984. My dad had an orange 1968 Hillman Hunter (Plate: B7329) and my mom had a mustard yellow colored 1974 Morris Mini 850. (Plate: BA5631) The Hillman was completely written-off in a rear end collision in 1979 and the Mini was subsequently sold-off in 1984. (Hopefully, the car still survives!)

The "muscle cars," of that era in Brunei were the Valiant and Valiant Charger, (Australian) Holden Statesman, Toyota Celica, Datsun 280 ZX, Skyline, (4 DR) Colt Sapporo/Galant and the Chevy Impala. (3 Australian built known of in BSB circa 1981) There were other odd "muscle cars," such as the Morris Marina TC, MG Midget, Opel Commodore A GSE & Rover P5B. I wish you enthusiasts continued success in your website along with the maintenance of your respective vehicles.

Warm Regards,
Ven Rao

Ahli keluarga kelab kereta lama beriadah bersama

Oleh Mohamad Asyramisyanie

Kumpulan kereta lama buatan tahun 70-an memeriahkan hari keluarga hujung minggu di Kelab Polo dan Tunggangan Kuda Diraja Brunei.

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, 8 Mei - Sebanyak 17 buah kereta klasik buatan Toyota, Nissan dan Mazda pada sekitar tahun 70-an hari ini memeriahkan Sambutan Hari Keluarga Hujung Minggu Kelab Polo dan Tunggangan Kuda Diraja Brunei selepas menampilkan kelab Mercedes dengan jayanya pada minggu lalu.

Media permata berpeluang meninjau pameran kereta antik itu dan mendapati kumpulan pemilik kereta terdiri daripada sekumpulan rakan-rakan yang berkongsi hobi yang sama iaitu menyimpan kereta-kereta lama. Mereka yang giat dalam banyak program sejak 2007 hari ini cukup mesra untuk ditemu ramah dan mengalu-alukan penglibatan sesiapa sahaja yang berminat untuk bertukar-tukar pendapat mengenai pengetahuan berkaitan kereta klasik itu.

Suasana dimeriahkan lagi dengan pelbagai aktiviti seperti menunggang kuda, persembahan kereta, permainan pantulan bagi kanak-kanak, makanan dan minuman serta promosi minum petang dengan bayaran $15, yang membolehkan pengunjung kelab berkenaan menggunakan kolam renang secara percuma.

Aktiviti hujung minggu itu diadakan pada setiap minggu bermula jam 10 pagi hingga 5:30 petang. Pengunjung juga berpeluang menggunakan lorong Boling 10 pin di sana.

Pihak Kelab polo dan tunggangan kuda diraja Brunei menasihatkan orang ramai untuk membuat tempahan awal untuk mengelak kekecewaan.

Koreisha mark

IN JAPAN
• The Koreisha mark is an orange and yellow teardrop-shaped statutory sign that is set up in the Road Traffic Law of Japan to indicate "aged person at the wheel".
• Its official name is "aged driver sign" (kōrei untensha hyōshiki).
• It also called "momiji mark" (autumn leaf mark).
• Some people call it "kareha mark" (dried leaf mark) or "Ochiba mark" (fallen leaf mark), but they are not pleasant words(for Japanese).
• The law decrees that when a person who is aged 70 and over drives a car and if his/her old age could affect the driving, he/she should endeavor to display this mark on both the front and rear of the car.
• Drivers aged 75 and over are obliged to display the mark.
• Conversely, the green and yellow shoshinsha mark or wakaba mark denotes new drivers.
• Both marks are designed to warn other drivers that the marked driver is not very skilled, either due to inexperience or old age.

OUTSIDE JAPAN
• Outside Japan, owners of Japanese classic cars have adopted this symbol, regardless of the driver's age.
• Japanese car enthusiasts overseas also use the Koreisha mark to indicate that they are an experienced driver as opposed to the Wakaba mark which indicates that they are new or a learner type driver.

Wakaba mark

IN JAPAN
• The Shoshinsha mark or Wakaba mark introduced in 1972 is a green and yellow V-shaped symbol that new Japanese drivers must display on their cars for one year.
• A driver must display this mark on the front and back of the car for one year after they obtain a standard driver's licence.
• This obligation is only for a standard license, not for motorcycles, large vehicles, special cars and so on.
• Drivers who consider themselves beginners may continue to display the sign, even after the period of a year.
• Its official name is The Beginner Drivers' Sign (shoshin untensha hyōshiki?).
• Conversely, the orange and yellow "Fukushi mark" or "Koreisha mark" denotes elderly drivers.
• Both marks are designed to warn other drivers that the marked driver is not very skilled, either due to inexperience or old age.
• The Shoshinsha mark is commonly seen on topics/tutorials targeted at beginners (whether it involves driving or not), having the meaning "For beginners" or "Beginners are welcomed".

OUTSIDE JAPAN
• The mark is also used as the logo for the imageboard software Wakaba written in Perl by Turku, Finland-based programmer Dag Ågren and by the imageboard index iichan whose indexed imageboards use Wakaba as their software package which also features a markup language called Wakabamark.
• The mark is also increasingly being used by JDM enthusiasts in other countries, such as Australia, the U.K and U.S.A. to show their passion and interest in JDM culture.

70'S OWNERS CLUB OUTING ON SUNDAY

2009-04-27T13:48:00.006+08:00

Retro Info : Colt Galant GTO

2009-04-20T10:02:00.011+08:00

The Mitsubishi Galant GTO was launched in 1970 as the two-door hardtop variant of Mitsubishi `s then new Galant sedan, and was known as the Colt Galant GTO.

Designed by Hiroaki Kamisago, who had previously been sent by Mitsubishi to study at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, it incorporated many stylistic cues from contemporary American Muscle cars like the Mustang, Firebird and Cougar, including a long hood, raised cut-off ductail rear, and rounded quad-headlamps and tail- lamps.

It was also the first Japanese passenger car to have full side windows and pillarless design.

One stop glimpse in Japan!

One stop glimpse in Japan:

Mooneyes Cruise Night by JNCers.

This article was taken from one of Japanese Classic cars website. The writer went to Japan to checkout the nostalgics. I might post others later..

"So despite popping awake at 4am due to ungodly jetlag and traipsing all over the show, I went to check out Mooneyes’ cruise night on Saturday, where I nearly passed out from a mixture of gasoline fumes and exhaustion. Here’s a Mitsubishi Debonair stealing away into the night.

Detroit iron is exotic stuff here. Although I wanted to see more JDM cars, all the machinery present was old school and thus stone cold cool.

The Japanese cars that did show up were, in many cases, nucking futs. Bonus points to anyone who can guess what car this is. If I had taken the photo from the back you would never know. Hint: look at all the other pics carefully if you can’t guess.

The craziness wasn’t limited to cars either. Take this custom chopped Honda Super Cub for example. Look how low it sits, putting your torso somewhere around bumper height on that Nova. I would be terrified to ride this thing on public roads. The owner also has a collection of S40 Crowns.

Then it was time to start the cruise. Here’s another photo of the Debonair. This car looks so gangsta in black. It wouldn’t have surprised me in the least if several pinky-less yakuza henchmen suddenly emerged from the shadows, sat down in this bad boy, and headed out to their next pachinko parlor shakedown.

And look who else showed up, the actual hakosuka-nosed mabo, or Suzuki Mighty Boy! It had some kind of crazy turbo kei car engine and zipped around like a hummingbird.

I wanted to go for a spin in the Chop Sticks Racer, but it was open top and the weather was freezing.

Instead, I hitched a ride in a slammed primer-black ‘54 Plymouth 2-door wagon that scraped over every anthill-sized bump in Yokohama’s historic Motomachi district.

A Classic HINO?

2009-01-28T21:09:00.006+08:00

HINO? Isn't that a truck or bus brand? Now dig this...

I found this article in one of a retro website, it is not in Brunei but I think its an interesting find.

Its a HINO CONTESSA.

"This isn't the rarest car in the world, it isn't even the rarest rear engine car in the world. It is however pretty interesting, or pretty and interesting.

Hino started out in the car market building Renault 4CV's under license in Japan. It has aspiration to build its own cars and entered into that with the Contessa 900, a rear engined car. Essentially based on the know-how from producing the Renault 4CV, Hino started off in their own direction with the engineering. In 1964 they bought in Giovanni Michelotti to redesign the car and stuck a 1300cc engine in, thus producing the Contessa 1300. The car is relatively rare inside Japan, even more so outside of Japan.

The car was available in both sedan and coupe version, as well as spawning a few specials, and competition variants. The Contessa 1300 Coupe L was the pinnacle of the development of the Contessa, although a number of very interesting prototypes were made based on the platform. Hino also developed some cars aimed at the track, but none of these made it into production. In 1967 Hino became part of Toyota and concentrated solely on developing and building trucks.

The whole of the Hino story is interesting and deserves to be covered in more detail than this entry, so I really recommend you to go and visit Hino Samurai where there is a lot more of the back story and details of the racing cars than I could ever hope to cover here, as well as brochure scans and promotional photos."
