I was dead ass about to say the same thing, he don't even work there, hes just there with TJ as film crew and he hopped on the grinder and was using he hand to shield the sparks from the bottom of the car, a part that no one will even see
I feel like this build is for all the kids from back in the 90s that would love to build there own r34 the same way!! Living our dreams out and bring it to our screens! Incredible job TJ 🔥🔥

TJ you have my respect! This is legit one of the most special and concise r34 builds out on RUclips. P.S.: kudos to Tommy and the boys for making this otherwise impossible build a reality.
I stopped watching TJ a while ago but this car has brought me back, I’m happy the channel has evolved and isn’t all about views, it’s more chill and less in your face
Big ups @tjhunt for being a genuine enthusiast and youtuber. For some of us, moments like this are monumental and more meaningful than any feeling of a dollar can attain. Hope to see it one day, Cheers. RJ
I love all of the little oddly satisfying bits. Whether it’s the clicking of the side skirts or the removing of the seal on the glass. Idk if I said this right but you know what I mean. It’s like watching horse hooves be trimmed
This is my dream car too and a a viewer of your channel for around 8 years, im super happy for you bro, i think the addition of the raised nismo wing would really make this car a 10/10
This has got to be one of finest if not finest oem nismo catalogue r34. The level of detail in this is unreal. May aswell go all in if you can afford it. A true forever car. Massive shoutout to Tommy and his crew. His shop is second to none. Absolutely love this series.
These videos really make me miss ol’ Mr. FYeah. Hopefully he gets back to uploading regularly again someday. His level of sweating the details on the cars he builds really does hit different.
After finishing my '99 R34 only this past July 14th after 18 months of work and only owning it since June 2021... there's no better feeling. Awesome yours got done and EXACTLY how you wanted it. 👊😎
You guys need to come to Australia and see some gtr builds. You guys sadly didn’t get them but we have been playing skyline since day 1. Great job tj and Tommy. You guys built a piece of art together ❤
@@allenrice-cw8dc The R69 is such a super cool build, I would love a 34 or 35 and think the vr38 is the ultimate swap... but something about this "factory new/OEM+" just leaves me in awe. My inner perfectionist/ocd is so satisfied with obsessives builds like this.
Tj went ahead and built a brand new r34, 10x what it was from the factory and literally everything has been played with/ upgraded/ or swapped out. A true beauty man and worth every penny knowing it'll only go up in value too!😊
Tj, you came a long wayssss brotha. And to stay consistent and always keeping your subscribers hooked and locked in through out the year is wild! CONGRATS BRO 🎉
I was thinking about the lugs right as he gifted them to him. And yea bro that’s shits fire idgaf that’s a flex with the branding on the outside face too !! This car is so damn clean !!!
Such a beautiful build, I love the overall vibes of everyone. Thank you for documenting this build, it’s beautiful. So beautiful it makes grown men cry🥲 Can’t wait to see it in person❤️
BRO!!! I want to say something cool or funny or total awesomeness. But really the only thing I can say to you TJ is congratulations. Really. Congratulations. You work hard and been through so much with your wonderful wife. Always staying positive, always moving forward. I’m so happy for you nine never been someone that says “Oh must be nice”. But it it it it’s so nice. Even my texts are stuttering in the beauty of this build. And I’m a MK4 guy. Obviously love the 34’s but it’s normally not my favorite JDM. But this is OH-MY-FU&$ing GAWD SHES SO BEAUTIFUL. From my heart and soul of heart and souls. Congrats to you and the team. But really to you. I hope you let them all experience from being behind the wheel of you BRAND NEW 2000 in 2023 R34 Masterpiece. That’s the only true way to describe it is masterpiece. And that’s from the shitty view through the camera. I’m not saying it’s shitty camera work. I just know that it has to be exponentially better in person compared to what most of us will be able to see. 98% of us will never see or hear this in person. I love it. I love all you guys. You made the best decision making a “quick” series for us to watch. So anyone dogging on you for “lying” to us and not telling us while you built it are stupid. I’m so happy I got to watch all of these within a matter of a couple weeks vs being tortured, having to watch it over the length of time that I took you to build. I have so much more to say but it doesn’t matter. I love it. I know you love. And congratulations to you and the rest of the team. And thank you for sharing this with all of us. Chefs kiss💋. Time to show us what this beautiful new R34 can do in the canyons. Oh one last thing. I vote you bring it to Las Vegas and I’ll show you the best mountain twisties we have here to drive it on. Go you. Go team.
I usually sit down and watch a video all in one sitting, but this video I’ve split into 4 parts to watch so that I can see every detail in person! It’s so amazing to see this come all together in all its perfection🥹
The carbon Z-tune kit, the Rays LM GT4s, the brembo brake, the Ohlins and a special motor....... this IS one of if not the greatest, only XRX's build can compare to this.
I'm so confused. Was Tommy Fat Yeah cleared by the car community? I stopped keeping track of the drama pretty early on. Was the other party at fault? I hope someone can fill me in so I can decide whether or not I consume content with the perceived scammer featured within some of my favorite car youtubers.
TIP: when you stuck those carbon fiber add ons to the pillar, the best way to do it is peel just an inch or two of the 3M red backer off, let it hang outside the pillar, line it up and stick the spot you started peeling. then you can just walk up the pilar pulling the back out as you go. this makes things so much easier.
That vehicle is my favorite car of all time. In the video when you first got that beauty delivered, I totally felt for you. When she first fired up (although not running right) I got goose bumps. I could only think of how I would feel if one was delivered to my front door. I absolutely LOVE the work you have done and the machine is a fine piece of motor car history. My hat's off to you for being able to achieve something that some of us can only dream of here in the U.S.❤❤❤❤
first series of videos that I didnt fast forward a single time. That I think means a lot since nowadays with our short attention span from tiktok. Awesome stuff TJ
Tj is on another dimension, I can see it in his eyes, this car is the dream of 90% of car people, this build is exactly what I would do if I had the opportunity!!this thing is 🔥🔥🔥
I want to see this in person so baddd. I feel like I would take 100s of photos of this car and just stare at it for hours. It’s literally one of the best cars you’ve built, so I understand why you would never sell it. Congrats man, you deserve everything that you have for sure
The craziest part will be his R34 next to Miley💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👑👑 The start of it all right next to the HIGHEST PINNACLE 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I've been here since day 1 and I'd cry FOR him
Your mean, living my dream 🤣🤣 no but in all seriousness. Im super proud of you. This is a part of history that should never be forgotten. I truly hope that our next generations can appreciate this car, and so many more the same way you, your friends, and us do. Much love TJ!
Watching this video and it blows my mind to think I have one of these masterpiece’s! Lucky enough to have one of the few active red GTR’s here in the UK. 😊
I can’t believe I saw this Masterpiece in person 😍 Best R34 out there by far. Thank you TJ for talking with me and taking a pic with me! It was a literal dream come true and I’ll cherish it forever! Hope to see you at Lime Rock in the future! Also I hope everyone and everything is all good when you get home. And make sure to get a clip of coming home to the doggo’s 🦮🐶 they’re always so happy! And as always, Peace out ✌️ and Keep Moving Forward 🫡
GOOD GOD this car is amazing and so incredibly beautiful. It’s awesome to be able to watch all the effort and care that is being taken to put together this car.
Okay... the brake colour idea hit different. *goosebumps*. OEM+ car for real right now. what you said at 23:30 is exactly why i like these era of JPN cars, and why the 34 is the JDM GOD
This is the best build in the history of the Internet!! I would be soooo anxious and paranoid driving this car though. I can't imagine how it feels to own something so special!
Honestly super impressed. it's so difficult to make a car like a skyline look modern, yet refined and timeless whilst retaining it's essence and you've done that with an ungodly amount of finesse. Gratz TJ and the team. Super jealous 🎉
I know you are trying to pay homage to the original R34, but this build deserves special wheels. Epic. Perfect color choice. A car the public won't understand but defines what enthusiasts eat and breath.
I’m counting myself as part of history watching this become one of the best skylines builds.

Busted so many times seeing this car
To match the aggressiveness of the front, you should do some wing risers!
Yes here to say this is whats missing
I prefer R34's with stock wing stands, don't know why but makes it flow better
I strongly agree the wing risers make the gtr look perfect in my opinion
@@DiegoHH7I think the paint makes a difference between each gtr like on a ar2 34 it looks better with risers
@@ssultaan6746 you're kinda right, active red or like millenium jade are more fitting for risers, on midnight purple OEM is the way to go imo
BREMBO KILLED IT!

I am in love with this series man, I don’t ever want it to end
I can't believe Brembo agreed to respray the original gold color on the brakes, what a historical piece.
What an absolute piece of artwork
One of the coolest builds TJ has done. It's beautiful 🔥🔥
