The "R34" Nissan Skyline GT-R is one of the ultimate Japanese cars -- and it's the most desirable Nissan model ever built. My entire life, I've dreamt of driving the R34 Skyline GT-R -- and today I'm reviewing this R34 GT-R, which is one of a handful of R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R models legally in the United States.

I wanted to hate this car, because then I would feel better about not being able to legally import one until 2024.
I did not hate this car.
Doug DeMuro daddy pls
Wow you finally washed your knees
I love this car.
This Nissan skyline gtr is made with concentration,love and hard working.
Please make a review about Mercedes Benz s600 kompressor model 1963.Jay Leno has one s600 kompressor model 1963.
Doug is the type of dad that reads owner manuals to his kids for bedtime stories...
450Ripper and, then the superhero said “Only use Premium fuel”
450Ripper ... Doug is the type of guy to insist that his kids tuck him in and read him bedtime stories!!
So?
Ok that's actually funny and not offensive
450Ripper that would be great they would fall asleep in 1 minute
I was in Japan for the rugby World Cup and rented one of these. Completely lived up to the hype.
You're my new hero 💪🏼
@Kristof Alexy thank god
thanks for this now i can cry even harder.
@jasper426 was like $180 usd for a day. But gas and tolls there are insane. From Tokyo to mt. fuji and back was about $70 in tolls then a full tank was like $65.
@@BadBrad61169 that being said I wouldn’t pay more than 30 grand for one. Unless it had like 10k miles or something and was compacted mint, but even then wouldn’t pay more than 35.

Orange Man Bad NPC would you turn gay for this car ?
Dont let this distract you from the fact that Hector is running 3 Honda Civics with 3 spoon engines, 3 t66 turbos with NOS , and a MOTECH system exhaust.
Oh shit, spoon engines! That movie is hard to go back to if you really dig into the minutiae of tuning.
Like; what model spoon engine? What's the forced induction setup and size? Why is nos so hyped? None of this performance shit means anything without a quality gear system and performance rubber but nobody mentions that.
What on earth is a spoon engine?
I only drive and repair german cars(since I live in Germany), so forgive me not knowing anything about jdm cars..
@@rolux4853 it’s not a specific formation of pistons and cylinders, but rather a name. Spoon was the name of Honda’s racing development team, and as such “Spoon engines,” as they were called, were a bit better to use and were the standard for racing Civics
@@rolux4853 Spoon is basically an external performance division of Honda, Spoon engines lightly refer to the engines used in their race Integras and Civics. You could compare them to M-Spec versions of BMWs
Umm isn't the performance division of Honda Mugen?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Doug uploaded an R34 Skyline GTR video on the 4 year anniversary of Paul Walker's death. Seeing this in my sub box this morning made me so happy.
I was pausing the video when he showed the wheels, hoping to peep the date code on the tires :/
Revitalyzed R.I.P ARRONI PEEPERONI. But seriously though, R.I.P Paul Walker.
Fake fan boy.. lol okay then.
Takuro Spirit Speaking of tires, that shit threw me off so much. Fronts look meatier than the rears. Even though the car is RWD biased. Like bruhh
Nigel Mansell No shit, but the car is biased towards the rear wheels. Did you not watch the video?
When I see those tail lights on the freeway at night I chase after it to realize it’s just an impala lol
Dee Preme 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂A 01 model at that.
Bruh 😀
haha. But you cant missed these tail lights
And in Japan you can find the unicorn of the lot
a GTR R34 Cop car for highway patrol
Lol here in Australia everyone has these and I’d love to see an Impala but GTRs are more common in America than seeing an Impala in Australia
lmfao
Whether you absolutely love this car or aren't into JDM at all, you must admit this car is one of the coolest cars made and people will go crazy if they see one in real life.
Yup. #2 coolest car ever
Just like the Supra.
Id just think its a box on wheels
It's a piece of crap. Understeers like crazy.
Two rolled up to a local car show here that had a Divo, Huayra, Singer Porsches, Carrera GT, and more. And ya people go crazy for them.

1999 - The PS2 comes out and this car was also nick-named "Playstation on wheels" because you could re-program virtually anything in its computer.
back on the rocks
The reason why the interior of the car is so normal is becouse nissan wanted to make an afordable sports car,
so they skiped on all the luxury options and just gave the car a monstrous performance.
It wasn't cheap in my opinion. Including inflation and converting from yen the car new in Japan was $135,000 AUD or approximately $100,000 USD
@@Dacommenta yeah but considering that pretty much any other superar with similar performance are no where near that price tag I'd say is much more affordable than say a 500k Ferrari or a 700k Lamborghini
These are just examples they would probably be more expencive than that
@@JXTalks26 yeh very true.
@@JXTalks26 Corvette was way cheaper and much faster.
@@robertoj8296 well I just said they were trying to make a cheap sports car I didn't say they made the cheapest
On another note the gtr now has speeds that rival Lamborghini and Ferrari and its still much cheaper than them
Also I wouldnt say that the corvette isn't really a sports car as much as its a muscle car but opinions varie
That's just mine
8:40 : There's nothing wrong with the gauges, Doug, they're in 2 different units.
Screen is reading 1.8 kPa (kilopascals), but if you notice the (x100), it's times 100, so it's actually 180kPa.
The gauge on the cluster is kg/cm2 (kilograms per squared centimeter). So if you go to Google and type in: "180kPa to kg/cm2" you get *1.83*, which matches the screen pretty perfectly. So nope, everything appears fine, just a small detail you missed there.
EDIT: Some people pointed out that the gauge shows 2.8kg/cm2 opposed to 1.8kg/cm2 as I said - you're right, not quite sure how I missed that. I imagine this is because one of them is or isn't taking into account STP, as there's a 1.03kg/cm2 difference between the two values. So def. looks like they screwed up.
Thank you!
wrong
Very small
OOOF! R34 kicked in Doug.
Was about to point this out. Doug doesn't seem to math well. *shrug*
This video is so bittersweet. Its incredible to see an R34 up close and personal to appreciate so many of their subtle design brilliance, but its saddening knowing I'll never own one.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You don't know that!
Be like me and buy the 25GTT Or 25 GT And do a turbo conversion, may not be the most authentic but still a lot of fun
@@jrey1 yes he does
Okay this is a joke but fr these things will be ridiculously expensive
Eh i bet once they are legal to import they won't be nearly as expensive don't give up on your dreams lol
For 1999, that screen looks amazing! Can't believe it looks so crisp. Cars from the late 2000's/ early 2010's didn't even look that good.
That was an insanely special car though.

Doug! The numbers for Oil Pressure don't match because they're in DIFFERENT UNITS. The digital is in kPa, or Kilopascal, and the analog one is in Kilogram per CM squared. Come on doug! Details!
i was looking all thru the comments for this. I can't believe nobody has noticed this.
valleylax5 I looked through the top 3 and then said f it, and commented lol
LamborghiniReven1000 i am so relieved that i see this comment :p
So one measures volume and the other pressure.
Cuz most people watching this are tools. Why else would you watch Dougie talk about cars? Wait...
15:08 me trying to convince my mom this is a good practical car.
@@6thgear914 reddit moment
Someone make this a meme
My brother when he got his 300zx😂
I wish I could like this more times, that's funny
That means: 4 door skyline r34 to the rescue
Oil pressure in the center screen is reading in kPa while the oil pressure in the gauge cluster is reading kg/cm^2. Their reading will always be slightly different from each other due to the fact that they are measuring pressure in different units but they shouldn't be that far off since 1 kPa is about 0.0102 kg/cm^2 resulting in something that should look similar and not off by a couple of intergers as seen in the video.
Babycow knowledge
It's still wrong. It's the same. It even said kPa x100 and when you do the math it's 2.9 still from the guage, not the screen. I just got done with the math and trust me, I wanted him to be wrong because I didn't want anything to be done
Sy Tran, Here in my Garage
I think Doug took the readout from two separete moments, as on 10:07 you can see on display bar it says 2.7 kPa and on analog gage, needle stays at 3 kg/cm2, so it makes about correct. Still quite impressive tech from a 99' car.
GarciaCompany I noticed that as well but already posted my comment. Another possibility is that there could be multiple sensors at different points where its pulling the information from causing the difference at first start up. Don't know enough about mechanical engines to come up with a hypothesis of where the sensors could be located.
I've been waiting for this review!
And you even got a clean, blue one with a carbon hood. Damn.

Me: ...why would i want to see the peasants so far behind me that i cant see??

Savage
Exactly!! R-34, why would you need to look back.
Omar Avalos true😂😂
I have a normal fwd Lancer EX GT that has a fairly big wing stock from the factory. You get used to it in around a week of driving. 😂👍
I still remember seeing one just completely randomly in the wild. I was driving a friend back home after college and it just backed up out of a driveway in front of me. I followed it for a few more blocks in complete awe that I wasn't dreaming. My then GF (now wife) said I was blushing and still makes fun of me to this day. I'm okay with it.
Edit: Happened in 2006.
Wow
David S hmmmn...sounds bs.
I saw one in the wild too once while out of town working a shutdown at a GM plant in Dayton Ohio. It just screaming down the highway north of downtown. I was a big gran turismo fan at that time (2000) so I immediately recognized what it was. Somebody obviously had shipped it back here from Japan. Driver was on the right hand side of the car... pretty sure I remember it having some kind of Canadian-dealer type tags on it
The oil pressure may be right. The one on the screen is in Kilo Pascal and the other under the rev is in kg/cm^2
I'm guessing Americans have no clue what either unit means
I did the math and indeed it does read wrong, 1.8*100 Kpascal is equivalent to 1.0197 kg/cm^2
Dont the Japanese use watts to measure torque
Andrea Botti yup, im American an i had no idea what that meant 🤔 im an idiot 😁
@@andreabotti99 Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of our space program.
I would kill for this car...
US Military: "did you say sum?"
Doug is the type of guy who doesn't show off the engine in detail
Doug the oil pressure units are different on the gauge cluster and screen. So that's why the numbers are different. Silly to have different units but not inaccurate. The engineers would never let that slide!
Yeah, noticed that myself too. How naive of Doug to think Japanese would make such ridiculous mistakes.
Yes units were different but should have shown same values.... 180kpa IS 1.8kg/cm2....doug was intelligent enough like my cat
The units are different but go convert them, they are equal. kPa*100 is kg/cm^2. They should read the same but don't as he appropriately points out.
Beat me too it lol
In an old car it's more likely a faulty gauge than the japanese engineers fucking up tho.
By far one of the coolest cars you've ever filmed!!!

Crown Fedora it’s very nice design. 9/10
The digital oil pressure gauge uses kilopascals. The analog oil pressure gauge uses kg/cm^2. The values displayed on the two gauges do agree, but they are expressed in different units.
Yeah! Science, Bitch!
Stephen Braddy exactly what I noticed, you cant beat japan at science dude.
Actually they should both basically be the same. 200kpa = 2 kg/cm2.
No
Ben C Yes roughly
The front of the car is one of the most beautiful things I've seen
IKR? Creds to Paul Walker from 2F2F for owning one too.
GTR is ahead of it's time

If you can't buy a R34, then buy a Evo X
For me it's best car ever made,design,performance,tunning potential,awd,everything is perfect,i swear i will buy it one day,i must have one
18:21 “im not a fan- i feel so cool!” nice cut there 😂
underrated comment
The car is a pop culture icon. How is it not a 10 out of 10 for importance?
discodench not just pop culture. The car was chosen in the movies for a reason as well.
If you had been watching Doug for some time now, you'd know that 10/10 is reserved for only the few very best of the best.
In short, it doesnt get 10 out of 10 because there are very very few cars that deserve a 10/10, so this one gets a 9, according to Doug's opinion.
discodench what would be a 10/10 for importance?
Benz patent motorwagen, model-t and beetle.
jjustyyn_ this car would be a 10 out of 10. It's been iconic since it's come out and it's been every JDM fans wet dream since day one. It's been in movies, video games, everywhere JDM car culture appears.
This is THE car we can't have in the states. he admits that he can't even drive the thing around without everyone noticing it, and that's 15+ years after the Gran Turismo and Fast and Furious. Even though there are under 20 of these in the US it's still iconic and still recognized.
Just because it isn't a super car doesn't mean it's not a 10/10
The reason that the oil pressure values are different between the center screen and gauge is because they use different units, kPa for the center screen and kg/cm^2 for the gauge.
those numbers are so close to the same thing (3kg/cm2 = 2.94kPa) that the gauges should pretty much match
REPLY
I think your math is off, 3 kg/cm2 is about 294 kPa. However, I just noticed that the screen displays kPa x 100, so it's showing about 180-190 kPa which is still way off.
I have no idea what fuck you guys just said. I've never been good at math.
@@podgehog looks like the car just has uncalibrated sensors.
8:40 one is in 100kPa which is pressure, the other is in kg/cm² which is a unit of surface tension.
I was about to comment this. Not sure how he missed it... the units are literally right there.
Was looking for this comment...
www.google.com/search?q=190%20kPa%20in%20kg%2Fcm%20squared
180 kpa is roughly 1.8 kg/cm^2. The digital kpa is reading 180 kpa and the analog one is reading 3 kg/m^2. Therefore they do NOT match. Doug was right.

1999:Nissan doesnt flex having four wheel steering
2020: Mercedes S Class: Revolutionary system, 4 wheel steering
Also Porsche had 4 wheel steering in the turbo 1996, Honda had it on the Prelude 1996-2000
I had a 1991 Honda Prelude that had 4 wheels steering. Mitsubishi 2000 also had 4 wheels steering in the early 90's.

Me too lol
Hahahahahaha
baldings a bitch
He's talking about the original not the sequel he just said the wrong movie. I think the original came out in 99
Dude, by 2024 the prices for R34 will go so high it might be cheaper to buy a R35. This is a future classic. Actually over here in Europe prices already start to rise, especially for stock mint condition.
why 2024 exactly?
Chickens because they are not legal to Import in the us until 2024
Already is cheaper mate.
So in 2024 you can just import a 20 year old GT-R from Australia for 50,000 USD. Yea mint ones in Japan are expensive as hell, but they are factory new condition
Thats why you buy them now and import later
This is literally the ''CAR'' for me. The car I dream of having one day, it to this day is my most favorite Skyline EVER! I would absolutely lose it to drive one one day, let alone to even see one with my own eyes. And Doug, I so agree with you at 1:04 about Gran Turismo 2 and this car. :)
Same here, It's my dream car.

The oil pressure is diferente because the units are diferents:
The center console - kPa
The dash board- kg\cm2
I love your videos and a huge hug from Portugal!

But those units are so close that you cannot make out the difference on an analog gauge with that low resolution 100kpa are 1,0197162129779282 kg/m2
It still doesnt add up. 190 kpa is roughly 2 kg/cm2
Nerds.... Wgaf?
I do, which one is showing the correct pressure?
Holy shit my eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw the thumbnail. Never clicked so fast on doug's video's!!!!!!

Death2508 it's Motorex R34 !! You have any idea how rare those are ??
Even the most basic cars here in Japan, have the folding mirrors and the headlight height adjustment. I'm guessing it's something everyone here needs to have or maybe it's mandatory.
ALSO those swapped turn signal and wiper levers, I always activate the wipers when trying to turn! Kept happening to me during the Japanese drivers license exam!
How tough is Japanese driving school? Heard they way higher to get a license.

Richard's World Traveler nice
do you still have it?
At 8:49 the reason for the different readings is because they are in 2 different units. The screen is showing Kilo pascals while the gauge is showing it in kg/cm^2.
Actually the conversion is pretty much 1:1...

Doug, the type of guy who kept track of his "500 FREE hours" of AOL.

Your welcome Doug. metric units are kind of our go to in Zimbabwe.......
your have fans in Africa Doug, keep it up on 8:35
on 8:35
The problem is, 190 kPA = 1.93 kg/square cm. So the center console is correct and the dash gauge is inaccurate. Maybe a bad sensor?
kPAx10^-2 is roughly equal to kg/cm^2.... the dash still should be showing around 2.

This is my childhood dream car, ever since 2 Fast 2 Furious, the exhaust note is just perfect in that movie. I remember playing Need For Speed Underground 2 and specifically not upgrading to the top tier on the engine and exhaust, because it made it sound to much like a rice grinder. The mid tier upgrades gave it the nice throaty sound like the movie. I put blue paint on it like this with no decals or any skins and put blue under glow on it and just drove around.
Ugghh I love this car so much.

Styling a 6 ?!?! That’s insane . Easily a 9 . One of the most unique and influential looking cars ever made.
Yeah a 6 the styling isn't anything good since the GT-T is basically the same without the big wing and aggressive front bumper unless you're a car guy you wouldn't look twice at it, the (R32) is more influential imo since it took inspiration from the 959 and made it cheaper.
Because of all the non GTR variants that use the same body shell, and they imported them by the bucketload here for years, they are common as fuck around here - literally see one every time I leave the house - most of them are the 1.8 litre and 2 litre 4 door variants but the basic styling is still the same. I'd have given it a 3 - but I guess familiarity breeds contempt.
micro christ I agree
Ehhh no, a 6 is just right. The car was never that good looking anyway.
If I were to look at it withut knowing the car, I'd only think the rear lights and spoiler are cool, but yeah as a completely biased idiot this would also be an easy 10

The 3000 GT VR4 had it in 1990, and the Skylines have been using it since the late 80s
*The 3000gt had it in 1990*
The prelude had it back in 88. I wonder what car did it first? >.>

The reason the screen and cluster for oil pressure is different is because they are different measurements one is KPA the other in KF/CM^2 still don’t know why they had to do it
The readings are still different though. 190 kPa is 1.937 kgf/cm^2.
That's why Nissan displays the electronic gauge as X.X x100 kPa. The "X.X" part of the value is essentially the same as the reading in kg/cm^2. For example, 1.9 (x100) kPa = 1.9 kg/cm^2. I don't know why the gauges are reading so differently, though. Perhaps the analog gauge is slower to react to changes in pressure?
It's bar and psi. 1.93=28
Was just about to comment about this, but then I realized "someone else is gonna notice." And here that thread is.
johnnykache1000 He probably recorded when the oil pressure was higher for that second shot lol
I never in my life saw it in person. Even seeing it would make me happy.
Beautiful car - the US really missed out on them
RichieT5 no completely but yea but soon we will get them to be legal.
Yes we did miss out ..and thanks to the lobbyist assholes from every other auto maker who was afraid of this beast kicking they shitty cars please tell me what 1999 American car could beat this?
Good example of why we need less government.
RichieT5 prettt soon we will be able to import
Gabriel Rojas ugly as fuck
6 in styling? That thing is beautiful especially in that iconic blue
snakexpert552 Yeah but you can’t argue that it looks rather basic. He rates it on how unique but good the design is. I think it looks amazing as well but many cars have the same exterior features.
xuav Rice wdym theres no car like a skyline r32 r33 r34
@@Doormatte It is not really interesting or beautiful.
It's only awesome looking because we think it is awesome. Only thing that's particularly awesome looking are the tail lights

I gotta say some cars just have epic names. "SKYLINE" Common man that sounds cool.
Toyota Isis !
De Tomaso Pantera !
lilyusi how bout the roadrunner is that name cool
*come on
Agree! Skyline is very cool name!
They're pretty rare in Australia, I saw the gtr r34 v-spec the other day and like Doug said, people who weren't car enthusiasts saw the car and didn't even lay an eye on it. But when I saw it, I immediately fell in love.
A Dodge demon is street legal but a R34 isn't? Haters
unbelievable hey! It was likely due to motorsport concerns. The R32 actually got banned from australian motorsport in 1991 and along with it fell every other JDM from our motorsport to local cars only. I imagine that America saw the impact it had on Australian cars and economy and didnt want a repeat. Interestingly the Mitsubishi GTO or as US calls it the Dodge Stealth was meant to take the place of the Dodge Viper but concerns for the local business led to the racing of the Dodge Viper instead back in 89 I think I recall!
It’ll become legal to import in 2024
@@Dacommenta Nissan didn't want to go through the ropes of American highway safety and emissions standards for a car they didn't think had a market here. Nothing to do with racing in the Americas.
@@balcyvr6 nope, definitely not, that was the excuse for sure on paper but they saw the damage it did to gm holdens reputation in Australia. It was the same with the dodge stealth (mitsubishi gto), it was originally meant to be the NASCAR for dodge but they ended up going ahead with the dodge viper, which ultimately was a good decision for the economy and racing obviously.
@@Dacommenta Nissan made the excuse that they would dominate racing so they didn't want to race here? Does that make sense? Nissan has said they didn't see a market here. We didn't ban it.
Dude your so lucky to even stand next to it!!!! I'm jealous
Lol, in the Philippines just go to random car meets and you'll see ton of these.
@@joenelbausing4678 Yep, true. There are R34s here and they're not that rare cuz I see em in roads and car parkings sometimes
@Rafaelul Go to the Philippines then, there's a lot of JDM cars here including R34, Supra, RX7, S15, a bunch of cool cars including my dream car (R32 GT-R)
Except in the Philippines, it’s gonna be impounded 😞😔
@@EbilEnemyofBurgerTown why?
This car is absolutely beautiful, one of the best designs of all time
over the summer I saw an R32 in person for the first time in my life and I was so happy. It's going to be crazy when I finally get to see one of these in person one day. It's such a cliche, but it is seriously my #1 dream car - my others being the S14, NSX, 370z, and bugeye WRX. But sadly it is by far the least achievable on that list, but I will continue to hold onto hope
Do long haul trucking and you’ll have one in a year 😂
@@Peugot905 Yeah trucking is starting to pay pretty well. Trades in general (I think at least) are gonna start paying more cause of not many people going into them
If this doesn't get a 10 for importance & cool factor I'm going to lose my mind
Doug, you've been warned
GOD DAMN IT DOUG, A _NINE_ ???
My faith in the Doug score has been shattered
Alex Hutcheson The r32 skyline will be like " You have failed me son by only getting a nine. You are not important enough!!".
Typical Asian Dads.
Alex Hutcheson that's actually accurate. I would even give it a 8/10. Because this skyline is extremely overrated and it's heavier than R33 or R32
Josuke the Shitposter more famous maybe, but overrated nopee. This thing is godzilla.
Anmol S it is as overrated as bad as supra. Maybe even worse. You can find a V-SPEC II for 60-95K in mint condition. And that's not normal for a fucking 90's sports car. Supra situation is a bit smoother. 40-65/70K

am i in heaven?
Doug the type of dude that farts in the toilet and then flushes
When I fart I usually have to wipe, so flushing is appropriate.
I love these comments.
NotAnother RUclipsChannel What do you mean
Its crazy to think that back in 1999 to 2006 motorex were getting these R34s from Japan for just under $50K and spending about $16K on them. So many of these cars were probably sold for something around $60K back then, which in todays money was a lot, but NOWHERE NEAR what those same cars go for today with some breaking the quarter million dollar price tag at auctions.
Guys today I actually read Doug's column
and your thoughts ?
It's actually OK....

Wow, want a fucking cookie?
No thanks
You explain a tag on the floor mat but you don't even pop the hood and explain the engine???!!
It's an engine. Pistons go back and forth, a thing turns, stuff happens. It's not really a thing that needs a ton of explaining. ;)
25:44
Ask an 12 year old who likes cars lol
its one of the most known engines in the car community -.- it needs to be talked about its like talking about a supra and dont talk about the 2jz, and thats what make the car DRIVE so i think it deserves more attention then a floor mat
Daniel Duque it’s an in-line 6 that pushes around 300hp, if someone doesnt already know that, they probably don’t care enough anyways. he just reviews the cars and i understand why he didn’t talk about it.
That little paint fade on the wing😰
Still needs to be kept in good shape. That's a classic car.
nitpick
@@keithbridges2144
Some people forget that the GTR was never a car that was supposed to sit still and look perfect.. Its a driver's car. Like men at work...
Exactly. Not only does it perform the part, but it looks it as well.
how about that ghetto batt tie down
“Wipers goes off”
Real GTR fans- he’s turning
*Doug, the type of guy to iron his cargo shorts*
Doug, The kind of guy who delivers mail in a R34.
Paul Dacus that'd be sweet
I'd do that
Hahaha. I just got back from delivering mail. In a 1991 Firebird. In England, where it's about as rare as this is. It was... uneconomic :)
I'd freak out if that happened.
I need tofu though
8:32 That's measuring in KPa, or Kilopascals but the analogue dial is reading in KG/cm2, or Kilogram force per square metre.
That's why they don't match ✌
yeah thats the first thing I thought, so i did the conversion and 180KPa = 1.835kg/cm^2. So, doug is still right. the values dont match. Another commenter mentioned that the values seemed to match better after the car warmed up. Yet another commenter says that the scale is not linear, but it is not labeled.
James Baggaley I thought the same but I did the conversion and it doesn't Match either lol
You don't own this car. The car owns you.
Doug the type of guy to film a video with your cool car
Don't spam beaaaaatchhh
Shantanu Sharma what if it was a hot wheels 😂
Silverado 316 lol 🤣
Doug the type of guy to do a tour of an R34 and not even show the engine.
Joell Mabe everyone know what a rb26dett engine looks like.
If you watched the video in its entirety he shows the engine.
Watch the entire video dumbass
Joell Mabe you do gotta point. That does get annoying. And it's hard for me to get through his videos with that nerdy accent
When you the type of guy to upvote this without watching the whole thing.
I would be so scared of crashing it or someone trying to steal it
No one would dare steal it for one reason... how many R34's do you see around, Cops would be all over this within seconds of getting a "My car's gone" from the owners lmao.
D4RKHOUND yeah but that shit fast asf, gon leave cops in dust.
There are many cars that are "Fast" but they get caught through 1 simple thing.... tactics, the moment a helicopter is on your tail you aint EVER gettin away.
No one steals sticks in the USA
you guys obviously dont know thieves not some random car jacker is going to steal this a car guy is and when he steals it he will part the car out for easy money.
the fact that Doug had an R32 makes this man a true legend
