In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we dive into one of Japan’s most fascinating automotive subcultures — their love affair with vans and wagons. From the performance-packed Evo 9 Wagon to the ultra-luxurious Toyota Alphard and Vellfire, we explore why these practical rides have such a massive following in Japan.

We break down what makes JDM vans and wagons so special — the craftsmanship, comfort, styling, and over-the-top customization that turn everyday family cars into status symbols. Plus, we share which models we’d import in a heartbeat and how the van culture in Japan compares to what we see in the U.S.

🎙️ From track-ready wagons to VIP vans — discover why Japan does “family cars” better than anyone else.

In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Charles Wong, founder of CW Collective — a company known for manufacturing hard-to-find and unique parts for Nissan Skylines, as well as restoring these legendary cars to factory-fresh (and often better-than-new) condition.

Charles isn’t just the man behind the brand — he’s a true Skyline enthusiast. With multiple R34 GT-Rs in his personal collection, he uses his own cars for R&D and prototype testing, ensuring every product meets the high standards these cars deserve.

We talk about how CW Collective began, the challenges of sourcing and reproducing rare components, the art of full restorations, and how Charles keeps the Skyline spirit alive through modern craftsmanship.

🎙️ From innovation to restoration — CW Collective is redefining what it means to preserve Japan’s greatest legend.

In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we dive deep into the revival era of Japan’s greatest hits — from the legendary 90s icons to their modern-day counterparts. Are the new versions of the NSX, Supra, and GT-R worthy successors to their golden-age roots, or are they watered-down nostalgia plays wrapped in tech and marketing?

We share our honest takes on what each brand got right (and wrong), debate whether modern engineering kills soul or saves performance, and talk about which cars actually carry the torch of that raw 90s spirit. Expect passionate opinions, plenty of laughs, and a few unpopular takes along the way.

🎙️ From analog heroes to digital titans — are the reborn JDM legends still legends? Tune in and find out.

What’s better — owning the real deal or building your own tribute? In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we dive deep into the world of clones vs. originals in JDM culture.

From million-dollar legends like the Nismo 400R and R34 Z-Tune to painstakingly built replicas and tribute cars, we break down the pros, cons, and controversies. Are clones a celebration of passion, or do they cheapen the value of the originals?

We’ll cover:

• Why clones exist (rarity, price, accessibility).
• Respect vs. “faking it” — where’s the line?
• Market value and ethics of selling tribute builds.
• Purists vs. builders: who’s really right?
• Examples from Skylines, Supras, RX-7s, and beyond.

 We want to hear from you! Would you rather daily a perfect 400R tribute or keep it real with a stock GTS-T? Drop your takes on Instagram @RHDGUYS — we’ll feature some of your answers on the next show.

🚗 Grab your wrench, grab your wallet, and let’s get into it.
