I'm bring back this thread to mention this. I haven't seen it posted yet. This Tom's JTCC AE92 Sprinter Trueno livery.

The stripes on it remind me of the 1997 MR-2 G-Limited RM in GT2:

Car in question.

One wierd observation, the 1985 Corolla Levin RM. I kept thinking it was like the #86 N2 Endurance Levin that I see a replica of on Speedhunters. But outside of the number, it looks more like this one.
