Japanese Performance Magazine

Japanese Performance Magazine

Japanese Performance is the UK’s longest-running and most respected magazine dedicated entirely to the culture of Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars. Since its launch, it has been the bible for fans of high-performance imports, covering everything from 1000bhp drag monsters to precision-engineered Time Attack weapons.

Riding the wave of the import boom fueled by Gran Turismo and The Fast and the Furious, Japanese Performance became the essential guide for owners of iconic machines like the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota Supra, Subaru Impreza WRX, Mitsubishi Evo, and Honda Civic Type R.

Key highlights for collectors include:

  • The Ultimate Builds: Exclusive features on the UK’s fastest and most powerful Japanese cars, with detailed spec lists and engine bay breakdowns.

  • Tuning Guides: Expert technical advice on how to extract more power from legendary engines like the RB26, 2JZ, and SR20DET.

  • Import Guides: Step-by-step advice on how to buy, import, and register fresh metal straight from Japan.

  • Event Coverage: On-the-ground reports from major shows like JAE (Japanese Auto Extravaganza) and the burgeoning drift scene.

Whether you are a tuner, a drifter, or just a fan of Japanese engineering, Japanese Performance captures the golden era of the UK’s JDM scene.
