We’re in with Skylines, Chasers, Autozams, and Delicas now flooding not only into American garages, but also into our rental fleets.

Your dreams are troubled by the whispers of a . Your waking thoughts are haunted by a Hakosuka Skyline. These JDM ghosts—when will they leave you to find some peace?

Your time is now. Las Vegas-based is getting in on the JDM wave, a new wrinkle in the scene that is mostly full of full-on dealers, like or . The idea of a JDM rental operation is more than a little convenient for anyone who has always wanted to know what it’s like to drive slices of the forbidden JDM fruit we never got here. Also it lets you try a right-hand-drive car for a hot second before committing to buying one. (It’s really not that bad.)

This isn’t the only JDM rental fleet in the world. I can think of another one right off the top of my head, though the only complication is .

As fun as it is doing these driving road adventures in Japan in fancy sports cars, I realize not…

Thanks to the pesky 25-year import rule, we missed out on a lot of key Japanese enthusiast specialty and performance cars when they were first released.

The company’s current inventory, according to its website, includes:

1972 Nissan Skyline Hakosuka1993 Toyota Supra JDM1992 Nissan Skyline GT-R1993 Suzuki Cappuccino1990 Nissan Pulsar GTI-R1993 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution II1992 Mazda RX-7 JDM1992 Nissan Skyline GTS-t (automatic)1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R

That last Skyline is particularly interesting, as you’ll notice it’s the R34-generation and therefore not yet legal to import. A Rent JDM from Jan. 31, however, claims that it is actually one of the very few MotoRex R34 GT-Rs that were imported and legalized in the United States.

“This white R34 GT-R was imported by MotoRex in 1999, and it was a one owner car. It is one of approximately 15 cars imported and legalized by MotoRex in the early 2000s,” the blog reads. That alone is worth stopping by for a look.

Rent JDM officially opens in April 2020. If you need an excuse to pay Vegas a visit, this is it.

When first came to the United States, it sold small funky cars that were decidedly un-American. As the company grew its own identity and became more established in the U.S., it became the first automaker to offer an all-wheel-drive passenger car in 1975. Subaru was also an early-adopter of...

I have two automotive loves: The first is the Miata, the second is off-road racing. For a while I raced air-cooled Volkswagens in the deserts of California and Nevada and I was lucky enough to co-drive in a class 11 stock bug in the Baja 1000 a few years...
