    The All-Japanese Car and Bike show hosts Canberra's slickest metal

    By Corey MitchellCorey Mitchell

    It's that time of year again - Japanese car and bike enthusiasts from Canberra and the surrounding regions get together for an annual mega-meet.

    This is the third All Japanese Car and Bike Show and if you are a die-hard Japanese car enthusiast like myself, this event is for you.

    Skylines galore. (image credit: Corey Mitchell) Skylines galore. (image credit: Corey Mitchell)

    Drift cars, stance cars, high power builds and everything Japanese-flavoured in between were on show at Thoroughbred Park.

    Highlights included this immaculate MA61 Supra. (The owner representing OS with his new hat in the windshield!)

    This Evo 9 was also a stand-out car, with it’s uhhh.. Not so subtle turbo and screamer install.  It produces a massive 600+KW at 50psi. Not bad for a ‘street car’.

    There were also some impressive engine swaps on show, including this RB26 Nissan Stagea...

    Unfortunately, this years turnout was not as big as the previous event, we suspect race day for Bathurst 1000 and the cloudy weather played a role in the numbers not being as strong.

    Regardless, Mr Che Davey held an awesome event and we can’t wait to return next year!
