Meeting Smokey Nagata & Mr GTR at Daikoku PA | Japan in a Van Ep. 9
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- A chance encounter with Smokey Nagata and Hiroshi Tamura, otherwise known as MR GTR at Daikoku PA. We also stop at a few legendary AE86 shops and drop the gold bonnet off at JDM Distro.
In 2019 we went back to Japan. Hungry for more after "Japan Without a Plan", we aimed to seek out AE86's, Street drifting, Kanjo culture, tuning shops and much more.
In this twelve-part special, we buy another van and travel up the east coast, documenting as much as we could, getting ourselves into some hilarious situations.
Enjoy our journey through Japanese car culture over the next few weeks. This one has been a long time coming.

Love how Smokey’s like “see him, very famous guy” let alone him being a friggin’ legend himself, true mad lad!
He probably doesn't realise how famous he is outside of Japan
@@Matty.Hill_87 He is absolutely very aware, he's just humble.
@@Klutchylol that makes it even better
when smokey took a pic of the r32 leaving smiling and giggled just shows you hes still a kid at heart and get excited to see another car ...... im glad this popped up in my recommendations i can watch yours videos all day
Yeah man! Loved that bit 😂
glad i found this series today, it’s been a long time since i’ve felt joy and motivation
I’m 1 min in and can already tell this vid is 🔥
Japanese culture is a thing of beauty
Came for smokey, stayed for winds, such a wholesome story I love those two so much.
lol hey mousyy
@@rustydomino694 WAIT! What are the odds, sup rusty!
The winds auto portion felt emotional as soon as you guys arrived..something about it resonates with some of us, just as much as it might have for you three.
Yeah I cried as someone who races for a small only miata shop run by a mostly husband n wife family team.
The last sticker :')
i think it was the realization that they were like the sticker,the last ones left.
I have a small story regarding with a skate shop and me being a wee lad, my parents took me to a little skate shop when I was about 8-10 years old and I was amazed by all the things there, from photos of Tony hawk to signed by professionals skateboards, we spent hours in there just for me to talk to the store owner and his son and I would not stop asking questions and I pointed out one particular board that caught my eye hanging on a wall and asked if I could take a look at it up close, not only did they take it down just so I can look at it better, the owner said they had another in the back that was also signed and had a little bit of the graphic taken off because of storage, he went out of his way and showed me both boards and as I was in awe, he knew he hooked a kid into the sport of skating and said I can have it for free because he never had a encounter with someone like myself at a young age that wanted to learn more history about this sport. I still have it to this day and it’s taught me you can motivate a young kid and give him the passion to “keep on pushing” the store sadly closed in 2012 but the board will always stay with me and the story will never die
@@hunterthompson1497 Thats an awesome story man cheers for the share.
I almost cried at that sticker. People in Japan are truly amazing. The passion towards the cars we love so much. This series has
boosted what was already a love affair for everything JDM. Thank you
Smokey will always be a legend. Just as much as japan its self.
Much appreciated man cheers!
Weekly dose of happiness is finally here!
"Last time we stayed there they didn't really want us there."
*Gets pissed and harrangues the locals*
Haha, in our defence, the shenanigans happened after the frosty reception.
@@juiceboxforyou It happens everywhere! And if you dont know the language that makes it a bit more "complicated!" haha.
I was in New Mexico on a road trip from California to Missouri and my water pump let go. So there I am, spending hundreds of dollarydoos, buying tools and lots of parts to change a water pump in a "parking lot" on my shitbox..er... "low miles and original" 1983 - 17 year old Mustang V6 Convertible (with Cali plates) and on my last trip in to buy coolant, a radiator cap and what not, the cashier of the NAPA goes, "Looks like you fixed the car huh.. We dont like your kind around here, so better get out of town before dark." Of course I laughed... He still didn't change his expression. I laughed again... He just stared and picked his nose, but the expression stayed.. So as soon as I got it wrapped up, I left a big gravel plume behind me and GTFO. He was STILL staring me down as I left. I'm assuming by "my kind" is those where parents are from different family trees! HAHA
@@bustersgarage great story man
@@janeblogs324 HAHA, thanks!
@@bustersgarage cool story bro, keep going
Can we all just stop to appreciate this amazing quality video and the fact there's not a single sponsored name drop or beg for a $1 on Patreon, just pure passion transformed into video form, Any name mentioned is because they have all earned it and not just paid. Proof you can make high-quality content without the need to be a greedy bastard. Appreciate it, alot lads, you deserve millions of subscribers but then again maybe that's what changes people. Never Change.
Talk about perfect timing, meeting the Legend that is Smokey, Ruben close to tears when he was pulling off in the Skyline 👌.
pulling off in the skyline...ooooof
@@simond7582 come on now.. haha
I wish I could of seen Smokey when he did the old uk speed runs... he’s a true legend
The Supra? Didn't he get a 6 month ban for that?
@@FelixIsMyName I read he only got a uk driving ban for 28 days
Smokey was jailed for the night and forced to pay a £190 fine. He was subsequently forced to leave the country the next day and banned from driving in uk for 28 days. Thats from the top secret wiki.
@@upurkilt7246 yeah that’s what I had read... not on wiki though
@@AxlMetcalf i read it max power years ago but couldn't remember exactly what it was so Google had the answer 😄
Smokey Nagata Button: 16:34 .....legendary father of JDM
your a legend yourself for that
@@nikolszar1519 ong
35:50 MICRAAS!!!!! haha amazing
This is the best jdm channel ever made. Reflects what we all love about japanese car culture. Peace and love from sweden
Seriously appreciate that man cheers 🍻🍻
Juicebox makes Monday the best day of the week.
@31:35 just a businessman on his way to work in his commuter skyline. Its so cool seeing the faded paint, probably has a ton of miles on it. Just his daily driver. Also, i hope you guys get to do more traveling. Its impossible for me to not smile my way through every one of these Japan videos. Thank you, guys!
Yeah man cant wait to get back out there or somewhere else again, loved seeing these cars doing normal things
Daikoku is always insane, I visited on a random Friday night and it was better than any car show or meet I'd ever been to in the UK, absolutely unreal. The people with cars we dream about just meeting up and grabbing a coffee as its just a regular day for them.
Blows my mind.
Smokey. You guys are the jammiest bunch I've ever seen!
Pretty wild aye!
Lads, this series has been the best thing on my TV, nevermind just on RUclips. Seriously awesome to watch. Doing what you've done in Japan is my dream!
Seriously appreciate that man cheers
Wangan Blue from "Wangan Midnight" Its based on his FLIPPIN Childhood! Good on you lads
I hope this series never ends, I'm yet to find anything close to this level of quality on YT that lights a candle to this level of JDM culture. 11/10 Seriously, I mean taking recommends but I'm already on like my third or 4th watch through of these, and ill probably watch through them about 10x more if not more.
Cheers man really appreciate the kind words 🍻
As Neil said, that's "the trip of a lifetime". This episode is very impressive for so many reasons, and to see your faces, reactions, interactions, the way to explain what's coming seconds before we can see ourselves... Don't know. Every week is different, but better than the week before someway. Once again, thanks for sharing and congratulations for the trip and for the experience. So much people never will feel half the emotions you had on this experience even on their whole life...
Appreciate that man! It was hands down the best trip of our lives, I had a pretty rough month before hand, and this entire trip meant so much to me, couldn't have asked for a better journey
2:57 3:39 Ive seen initial D, I know that road. Best part of the series imo
Fc3s vs R32
Alphard vs brake pads
@@philipmorrissey9795 considering what happened in the show, its pretty apt I think
Correct, that place is Hakone.
The place is where the race between the FC and the R32 was settled on the manga//Fifth Stage.
@@0fujiwarajealous psycopath vs F off doctor
man hasnt aged at all
Spends so much time near the speed of light so spacetime distorts hahaha
Waiting for my friend so we can watch together. Can't resist temptation xD
I'm here dude
@@MaryjaneKush Hey buddy
Hope it was worth the wait
damn, when smokey waves at you it really got me emotional... might teared up yo
That coupe Quattro is as rare as many of the cars you’ll see. For it to be in Tokyo.. even rarer. Audi enthusiasts would pay an absolute arm and a leg here in Ireland for that car. This episode I think is the best one. A humble episode with unreal GTR’s.
How can anyone hate you for pronouncing a name different ?
You gave everyone an amazing Gift with this docu-series , we should be thanking you !
👌🏼
The Midnight club sticker on the Red Porsche... that’s a legit car
It sure was
www.juiceboxforyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/juiceboxjapaninvan8-2.jpg
the Winds Auto feature is my favourite thing on the internet, such cool videography/cars with even cooler owners, class.
Just the whole "last Winds Auto sticker" was fuckin emotional man
I remember that Smokey Nagata clip of him getting arrested in UK for driving insanely fast. It was the weirdest yet coolest shit 😂
yea he let the cops catch up XD
ruclips.net/video/X-Vcx3zRE-0/видео.html
Yeah man! What a clip, so honoured to have that encounter at Daikoku.
Your Japan in a van videos give me chills. They inspire to plan to return to Japan and stay and attempt to make a life there. One life.
Definition of right place, right time. I am living vicariously through you lads.
What a great way of ending the month, by watching an episode of japan in a van.
Appreciate that man thanks 🍻
Love the UR Quattro!!
Best Video Series Right now....greetings From Germany
Cheers man!
These videos are nothing but amazing. Like you could not even plan a trip this insane and you gave US the experience as well. FOR FREE. My mouth was practiclly dropped for the entire series. I felt so motivated to get in the garage and keep working on my R32 and now I know that whenever I feel abit unmotivated, i'll just watch these videos. BIG THANKS
Much appreciated man! Yeah this was the trip of a lifetime! The stuff of dreams
Unreal to meet them , unplanned trips turns out to be the best
Deffo!
Didint want to comment cause there was already 69 comments haha Just came in from doing body work on my EP Starlet and BOOM inspiration and entertainment from da bais. Nice one lads. Hopefully soon i can spin up and meet ye lads in person? Sound lads
🍻🍻
I can't watch this episode today, becasue I have an exam tomorrow, but when I get home, oh man am I going to be happy to get to watch this in peace !
I just finished and this episode made me tear u twice, also what the hell was that at the end, lool !
@@RobertMilat Glad you enjoyed it man!
The absolute biggest grin on my face watching this. LEGENDS I’m telling you what
Cheers Blake
It's almost 6 o'clock. Time to get down to your local Merceedes dealer and ask about test driving the new Merceedes. Prices start at 59.000 euros
Theres been a bereavement
The Winds Auto Couple is probably one of the most heartwarming things i have seen in a long time, it was really heartwarming!
And Neill, at some point, are you ever gonna get a Levin with your Trueno?
The prices of 86's at the moment is a bit much to have two of them
That would be the dream! A Levin coupe, maybe someday...
Priceless moment meeting a legend like smokey sugoi hai and mr gtr
So awesome you got to stop and see Okachan and Yashio Factory!!
What's a mob to a king?
What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer?
I just get those videos from that smokey meeting ahahhaha 😂
Amazing episode as always!
You guys are so bloody lucky Jammy buggers timing that so well to meet smokey!
keep up the quality content
The Hako backing up into the lot next to the Wangan Blue R35 (36?) is EPIC
Yes, yes, and more yes
Favorite japinavan episode yet. ✌
Itsuki in the background with the high pants.
Ahhhhhh yes, my favorite part of Monday! Grabbing dinner and watching this!
Compared to you lads I am like 14% as invested in all this and have a fraction of your knowledge; even then I am just 100% cheek-hurting smiles from the first second to the last, shaking my head in disbelief.
Unfathomable stuff, and every episode keeps on surprising. At every turn you think you've seen it all.
Haha great to hear man glad you enjoyed it
YESSSSSSSSS, I was JUST going to give up finding something to watch
Smokey is an absolute legend.
I like how you guys appreciate the culture this much. Smokey is the man he even came to nz in his supra to do some high speed runs on the motorway lol
Beautiful to see the whole reason the twincam blew up in Ireland. Every Monday is the best monday pal
Chees man 🍻
The legendary Smokey nagata the Legend of JDM cars
"Wont be having a poo here"
What a line
😂😂
The quantity of amazing stuff in this episode is too much to comprehend
🍻🍻
I love Monday s to watch jucibox 👍👍
Class boys 😉 got to be one of the best playlist/channels on RUclips.
I don’t want this series to ever end!
You fella's are mad! Much props!
"This is fookin' Gran Turismo."
Yup.
It's excellent.
this episode gets me every time. so damn beautiful.
How does this channel only have 113k subs. Madness
Great series lads. Have to say, this belongs on Neflix its that good. You's motivated me to go out and buy myself a Starlet ep91 and modify it. I can't wait till its finished. 😂 Keep the videos coming, loving them as always. 🤙🏻😃
Much appreciated Nathan
I think this has been the best car series Ive seen. You guys rival and are better than some of the other bigger youtube car channels.
Appreciate that cheers
Smokey nagata a true legend I would like to meet him one day
Another adventure of a lifetime to be able to be around and have conversations with leagues of the the original players that is Japanese car culture. Keep up the great content this documentary will be one if not the best of all time. 🇺🇸
Really appreciate that cheers!
I stumbled across your channel today... and I cant stop watching your stuff 👌 hats of to you guys amazing video
I really appreciate that man
Loooove Japan Episodes!!!
Great ending to a Monday 👌🏻🤙🏻
that fiat panda is epic!!!!!
xD
Can’t wait for the next episode.
I’ve said it like five times before and I’ll say it again… this series is amazing I don’t have any words, great cinematography, amazing works guys👏🏻👏🏻
I honestly can’t stop thinking about the part where the song starts playing in winds auto and they show the D1 car, genuinely gives me goosebumps it’s so cool man ☺️
Wow can't believe they gave you that Winds sticker 😲🤜🤛
Cherish it forever
Best thing on RUclips right here boys.
Beautiful film and storytelling! I met Smokey in 2005 and to see him alive and well in your film brings me a lot of joy. He's in good spirits and kept that same energy all this time. I always thought of him as a mad scientist, or the mad mathematician if he wasn't the most infamous highway bandit of all time. Can't thank you enough for sharing your journey with us! 🏎
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story of your recent adventures in Japan, also youtube algorithm helped me get here as I was following stuff on smokey nagata, it is so refreshing to see him and the Nissan boss in this video just alive and well.
Thats cool man! Glad to hear you enjoyed it
These guys have officially fulfilled their bucketlists.
what an experience ..wow
I love this video so much..
Imagine standing next to the guy that designed the r34 and now r35 and also Smokey at a car meet! Insane vibes
Please put this series on a dvd/blu ray! I have a mighty need!
100%
Holy shite guys! Smokey! All those Skylines! Loved the story about Beyside Blue. I will now only describe that colour as Wangan Blue!
Same!
25:46 panda but not trueno! (:
is unbelievable how the most common and non-enthusiast cars we have here in italy are still used and appreciated in Japan
Ciao! (:
I'm total out of words...every episode is total awesome, beautiful, amazing, epic,...i even can't find the right words. Then u guys met smokey nagata, as u said, our childhood/ teenage idol😍 and Mr. Nismo😍....wow... epic. i've even can't imagine how absolutly mindblowing
it is just so good, hope i can visit the wangan someday..
These documentaries are soo cool and fascinating.
Appreciate that cheers
What a completely mental thing to happen randomly at Daikoku, I'd be so starstruck too!
I'm also kind of surprised you're not shipping even more stuff back to Ireland, I'll be there's plenty of stuff around Japan that'd come in handy on the ol' Emerald Isle :D
Shame about the March workshop being closed, it would have been nice to get a closer look at those race spec ones for sure!
Cash was the issue! This trip was expensive so we had to reserve the spending, it would have been very easy to get carried away!
This series is already super legendary
Wednesday night, daikoku P. A.... Smokey Nagata and Tamara San.... Luck of the Irish eh
Don't think wangan blue would of worked as well as bayside blue.
Fantastic episode again tonight lads.
Smile from ear to ear for 39 minutes and 53 seconds straight. What an adventure lads, we can feel the excitement through the screen!
Cheers man! Glad you could sense the madness!
freakin legendary episode. love this.. these people established what we enjoy right now. absolute legends.. it was also heartwarming to see winds auto and the couple having a very lovely relationship
Yeah man! What a couple!
Winds Auto’s - Relationship Goals!
every episode just seems crazy.
Fabulous video again amazing to see such small basic workshops still building and maintaining top quality old cars Japan is so different in every way but has so many fun cars nice to see people enjoying their car life regularly
Wow! Boys you just keep topping every episode. Stellar watch boys. Think I got a little teary eyed watching that.
Thanks again!
Appreciate that Chris cheers!
One detail i acknowledged was the silence in the film when you were at the car meet, this little thing helped me feel the authenticity of the scene, big guys hanging out with fans and enthusiasts, and having the natural love for cars, so special
Yeah man, we were in awe!
I would have cried seeing all those cars in person. awesome video dude !!
The stuff of dreams man
