The Sha'ken.
It's a taxed inspection procedure that requires you to maintain your car. It's paid every 2 years and gets more and more expensive the older your car gets. It's why there are so few older cars in Japan now.
It's another reason why you see front clips of RBs and SRs with less than 60K miles because people will start to get rid of them around the 40K mark.

The 280ps agreement was just a gentlemen's agreement between the Japanese automakers, not really a law, just something they held to.

No it's not followed anymore, especially with the advent of the GTR and top end models that the Japanese automakers are producing.
I believe they called it quits in 2003 or so.
