GAME CHANGER
Don’t just browse the car.
Explore it. Drive it.
The garage is a decision tool, not a wall of cards. Move from a car to its full profile, jump sideways to a rival, then bring the final three into the battle arena.

02 / FOLLOW THE BLOODLINE
Generation Explorer.
Context before hype.
The catalogue view still has a job — just not as the whole Garage. Use it as a compact lineage map, then dive into the generations we have built out properly.
NISSANSKYLINE GT-R → GT-R
Next expansion
More complete generation paths will be added only where we can give them the same depth as the full profiles — not as thin SEO filler.
03 / MY GARAGE
Pick your three.
Then make them fight.
Change the angle. Switch the comparison lens. Swap a rival without leaving the arena. This is the part of JDM4U designed for the decision, not just the scroll.
Swipe the comparison table to see every car →
