About Me

Japanese Motorsport (JMS) was born in 1997 by brothers Danny and Terry Vahoumis, to service the growing need for specialist racing products available only from Japan. JMS built the industry standard model for importing high quality high performance new and used cars and aftermarket parts.

To allow for expansion, JMS amalgamated with Drum Marketing a South Australian automotive marketing company. The enigmatic Danny Vahoumis still remains at the controls as a director and store manager but with a much more secure future, with the backing and business drive needed to succeed in the ultra competitive Import Aftermarket Industry.

Japanese Motorsport is responsible for the motorsport phenomenon of JDM Drifting and Drag Racing in Australia, with Danny's drift and drag projects as early as 1998 gracing the covers of magazines.

Japanese Motorsport has built some of the most respected cars on the Australian scene, from the all conquering yellow 'Onevia' to the now famous 'PINK BITS' Silvia S13.5. Not to mention building some of the quickest GTR Skylines around. This experience & understanding of the import market has allowed JMS to grow in an unprecedented way.

10 years on, Japanese Motorsport is still servicing the needs of the drift/drag/race scene Nationwide. Not only do they sell NEW & used performance/ replacement parts, they fit them in their fully equipped workshop, as well as general servicing/engine conversions & fabrication.

My Interests

THE TEAM Team Japanese Motorsport is a single car Team competing in the Toyo Drift Australia series. Based in Adelaide, South Australia the home of Drifting in Australia.

THE DRIVER Danny "The Godfather" Vahoumis is the man responsible for bringing Drift to Australia way back when and has been at the forefront of developing the sport to the professional level it is today. Feared and respected by his peers Danny is also the paddock clown and is well know for having a laugh or two.

If you ever get the chance to get to a Drift Australia event by all means introduce yourself, he doesnt bite.

I'd like to meet:
