Work out the US 25-year and Canada 15-year eligibility month from a manufacture date, then read the chassis code canon and the auction sheet behind it. We never sell or broker real cars — what we keep here is the dates, the record, and the one you can actually own: die-cast and books.

The Chassis Canon／ 蒐集
How this site works／ 手順
Enter a manufacture month and read the US 25-year and Canada 15-year eligibility months. Not legal advice — the chassis paperwork is the final word.
BNR34, AE86, S15, JZX100 — one filed entry per chassis code: engine, production run, grades, sourced from the record.
What USS's grades and map symbols actually mean — and what a grade does not tell you.
The die-cast and book shelf — tied to each real car's chassis code, with as-of dated prices and store links. We never sell or broker real cars.

Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV, 2004) and TLV-Neo (TLV-N, 2006) are Tomytec's display-grade 1/64 diecast lines — TLV covers 1950s-70s classics, TLV-N covers 1970s-2000s JDM, the era most chassis on this site come from.

A Japanese auction sheet carries three separate readings — an overall condition number (S/6...1, or R/RA for repair history), a separate interior letter grade (A-E), and a diagram of specific panel damage. Read all three; none of them alone is the price.

S15 — Nissan's final Silvia (Jan 1999-Aug 2002), SR20DET turbo four (Spec-R) or SR20DE NA (Spec-S). Holds the Guinness World Record for most D1 Grand Prix titles (5). Earliest builds cleared the US 25-year exemption in Jan 2024.

JZX100 — Toyota's 1996-2001 Chaser sedan, 1JZ-GTE single-turbo straight-six, RWD, shares its platform with the Mark II and Cresta. Every JZX100 built has now cleared the US 25-year exemption (last cars: June 2026).

AE86 — Toyota's 1983–1987 rear-wheel-drive Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno, 1.6L twin-cam 4A-GE. Already decades clear of the US and Canadian import age lines; originality (unmodified engine/emissions) is the real question left for this chassis.

BNR34 — Nissan's last Skyline GT-R (Jan 1999–2002), RB26DETT twin-turbo straight-six, ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive. Early 1999 examples cleared the US 25-year exemption in January 2024; later builds clear on their own schedule.
