More T-shirts featuring old Japanese cars are popping up all over the place. Normally they’re all the popular models from Nissan and Toyota, leaving kei car fans a bit left out. But thanks to JNCer xemoto, here’s one of a Honda N600! It’s part of a series that also features a Subaru 360, BRE Datsun 510 leading an Alfa Romeo, and a whole host of other European microcars.

We were browsing the web for images of nostalgics and stumbled upon this great series of T-shirts with pictures of our favorite cars on them. Then we realized that they were drawn by a JNCer who goes by the name lisasdecals! Check them out on Zazzle.

Being the graphic designer type, Van runs in some pretty creative circles. That’s how he spotted this series of positively righteous artwork from NoCarNoLife. However, we’ve locked the Vanster in a dungeon until he finishes the layout for JNC Issue 2, so he can’t post on this news himself.

Apparently, these beauteous renderings are intended for appearance on shirts, though the links on website seem to be dead. However, you can see the rest of the collection on NoCarNoLife’s Flickr Photostream. Let’s hope they get the site sorted soon, cause where else are you gonna get a T-shirt with a Datsun 610 or 710 on it? Of course, standard fare like the Celica, 510 and TE27 Corolla above are also available. For you 80s fans, there’s designs like the R30 and A60 Supra. If you like what you see, why not show them some support by letting them know how eager you are to order one?

UPDATE: Check out deadflo’s comments to this post. Be careful when ordering from this seller. We will give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was not ready to deal with orders yet. Thanks for letting us know, deadflo!

Someone over at this T-shirt site must love Land Cruisers because they have at least 3 shirts dedicated to the old Toyota workhorse. Our favorite one is this one pictured, even though we’re not really sure what it says. The second of the big words on top is “kuruiseru” (though the actual Japanese should read クルーザー) but we’re at a loss for the others. We were simply sold by the tag line “Which way to Mt. Fuji?” The creator sure knows his Cruisers, which in 1951, were the first vehicles ever to reach the sixth stage of the famous Japanese mountain.

UPDATE: We got an email from the T-shirt’s maker, Tim McGrath, who writes that the shirt is meant to say “Fuji Cruiser” and “Japan” but found out later that the Japanese was wrong. He laughs it off, though, telling us, “Oh well. I thought it was kinda funny like those bad English shirts you would see in Japan.” There’s more coming too, including the FJ45 short bed, and FJ43. Thanks, Tim!

Our JDM friend and Mitsubishi Delica Space Gear Super Exceed 24-Valve V6 3000 with Crystal Lite Roof helmsman was in town for a few days and he brought us this rad present. It’s a surprisingly comfortable USB optical mouse in the shape of a Subaru 360. Last month was Subaru’s 50th anniversary and the company came up with a bunch of spiffy little trinkets like this for its loyal fans and customers. Come on, Nissan USA, how about some love for the fans?

Hey Sugarteats, check out this replica badge from Japanese company M.F.P. Clothing. Remember the the Main Force Patrol? It’s the post-apocalypse Australian police unit Mel Gibson’s character served under in the 1979 movie Mad Max.

Along with The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome, this has always been one of our favorite trilogies, because what’s not to love about over-the-top violence and desert car chases tied together with an actual plot? Dialogue is kept to a minimum too, which probably explains Gibson’s lack of an anti-Semitic rant.

The only drawback is a distinct lack of Japanese iron (although a Mazda Bongo van does bite it in one chase). We always felt that if a fuel shortage had wiped out most of civilization, a 70s Japanese sports coupe would be a wiser choice than a supercharged V8 for mowing down biker gangs. Plus, their mean looks would still provide that crucial rear-view mirror intimidation factor, and Lord knows Australia has plenty of them. We think this Celica or this Laurel would be perfect candidates for Mad Max 4.

M.F.P. Clothing also makes jackets and other accessories that look just like what the characters wore in the film.  Too bad the site’s all in Japanese.

Will the madness never end? The Nissan Skyline’s 50th birthday party is still going strong, and throughout it we’ve had minicars, CDs, a reproduction Ken & Mary T-shirt, and everything in the Nissan Heritage Collection. Now, the company is releasing a collection of commemorative pins. There will be only 62 sets, given out randomly to those who enter the contest. The entry deadline is February 18, 17:00 Tokyo time. And oh yeah, you have to live in Japan. Nuts.
