Man I'm so happy you came to RUclips, what an amazing and diverse content you provide video after video ! Legendary photograph, excellent journalist and now the coolest channel, what can't you do ?
The stainless steel rear diffuser replacement brackets you are seeking are manufactured by 2 different shops; 1) Midori Seibi 2) Garage Yoshida. Both versions are made of stainless steel and I believe black powder coated on top. We met during Tokyo Auto Salon week when you and Larry Chen came out and joined our 5 bayside blue R34 GTRs for a quick night drive. I enjoyed these R34 revival videos and I’m looking forward to more R34 upgrade/restoration videos 👍
I love the way your shots emphasise the Bayside Blue peeking out from that green. Couldn't believe it when you wrapped it in God-aweful Green.... That blue is simply the most perfect colour for the R34.
what a huge difference a new set of tires and some freshly cleaned wheels make! I really enjoyed the chill music during the first ride out and the shop b-roll in particular. Now i can't wait to see the headlights shine again!
Really enjoying this series. It’s very satisfying seeing the car being restored to her former glory! 🔥 There’s nothing I love more than a car with a good story behind it.
Love the gtr episodes! Can't wait to see the car fully restored and back to looking as good as new. Removal of the wrap and a front gtr badge will transform this from good to perfection!
Re: Brake master cylinder, get a new assembly. Dont just change the seals, the bore (aluminium) gets worn too. Great car you have there! Looking forward to the other videos. Cheers!
Woooow maaan what a great car you have , Keep it forever, and let the little prince own it after you , Start from now to teach him that this is a priceless treasure and must be taken care of .
the brake switch on the pedal can open and clean the contacts. easy fix with some sand paper. inside it is really simple it just continuity of 12vots when the pedal is mashed
I would LOVE IT if you removed the wrap. It would set those gorgeous wheels off PERFECTLY. Do it! Lovely, lovely car by the way. Preventative maintenance is the way forward.
Beautiful GT-R 34. Love the metallic green wrap there very unique body color from the usual white, black, purple, blue, black. If the headlight could be added with a layer of Yellow adhesive lighting protection film that will add some aesthetic to the whole look. But I am not sure if that's allowable on Japan roads.
Don't get tired of saying it, the editing, music selection and overall content is the best. Great to see the GTR getting to it's former glory. 🔥 I'm not driving my cars so much last couple of years, buying batteries like a dumbass, antigravity batteries are not a thing where i live, what would you recommend when looking for them? Thanks
Enjoyed the video, good to see your car coming together and back on the road, hopefully it motivates me to get my old car out of the corner of the garage.
Loving this series on your 34 Gtr and the history and content 🙏🏽 can we get some feedback on the yokohama ad09’s And yes get that bayside blue out to shine
Was that KW suspension with the Hydraulic lift a one off solution? I'd love something like that for my 33 and they dont seem to sell kits for Skylines.
I'm glad that I stumbled across your channel keep up the great work and I did not know it was a one owner car that it's a beautiful thing question for you Is it better to go over there to pick one up or look and see if you can find one where you were located vagina and ontario but they are heard defined what do you think ?
I realize this video is a year old. But man that’s a beautiful GT-R, really like that green color. Is it still painted this way? Hopefully you were able to fix all its issues. Thank you for showing the tag/insurance process. Many tuners here in the states like to install the old jdm plates on their cars lol and I think it looks pretty cool. 😎
Nice. When I bought my Autechversion the brake pistons were seizing slightly in the calipers. Had to get them blasted to resolve it. PS do you know of a tuning shop called WAIS racing? Possibly closed now….. they tuned the itb’s on my import.
I will be moving out to APAC region in a few months, specifically Singapore. I will most likely be coming to Japan to pick up a few Akiya. I don't speak Japanese but want to buy a GTR R34 v spec II if the price is right.. What should I expect as fara s price range from Bad to good? I realize there are alot of videos, but it's difficult to determine for me at least, what the true prices are and what my options are.
Hey I'm wondering if you know how I could find my original km's. Garage Saurus replaced my cluster with a 320km speedo when they rebuilt my engine. Any advice would be appreciated 🙏
Hi Dino, I have a question to ask about how strict Japan is when it comes to car inspections, what are the things does the inspector look in the car in order to pass it and make it road legal? Also, what about those tuned cars that has a semi- gutted interior with bolt-on roll cages how does shaken inspectors manage to pass those cars? By the way its nice to see your 34 again being driven in the streets.
Discovered your channel just few weeks ago! Love your content man! I was just wondering, feels like your main 'talking' shots are filmed with a gopro and for the 'beauty' detail shots you use DSLR? ;)
Glad to see the R34! One question, Is the shaken a hard test for modified cars? Here in Spain is a hell, you'll need to do tons of paperwork and you'll need an homologation to make a mildly modified car road legal.
My wife and I are massive fans of you and your channel . We have been in Japan 4 weeks from Canada and will be back in Tokyo on Aug 26. Is there any cars and coffee of shows we can get to that you will be attending? Would love to meet up to say hello? Cheers mate.
@@dino_dc yes we will be in Tokyo from aug 26 to sept 03. Can’t seem to find a way to get to Daikoku without having a car. Do you know of anyway to get there without a car? Thanks mate.
@@dino_dc either way I have stumbled on your yt channel last week and even tho I knew you from SH articles, I can´t stop watching your content right now. It´s really a breath of fresh air and I´m sure a lot of people here really enjoy it. Keep it up its great!
Can you do a video around the truths and myths of imported engines from Japan. In the states it’s assumed that all the states it’s assumed that all the motors coming from Japan have 100k km (60k miles) however there’s never a way to verify if this is true
Back with another GTR episode! Things should be ramping up from here, time to pull the wrap off and get the car mapped and driving properly!
Digging these updates mate!
why do you wear such ugly color frames, so triggering
Nothing like a 1 owner car, let alone a R34 GTR.
So good right, the full interior etc you know is clean af
Man I'm so happy you came to RUclips, what an amazing and diverse content you provide video after video ! Legendary photograph, excellent journalist and now the coolest channel, what can't you do ?
Thanks so much, really appreciate the feedback.
The moment the grime comes off, it still looks as stunning as you left it. The joy of restoring your pride and joy can definitely be felt here.
Yes it does! Satisfying every step of the way
uhh nice finally an Ep for the R34 .. its been some time since we got the first . nice nice

If you watch the video you’ll understand why I chose the God-awful green 😉
That colour is amazing Dino. Really nice colour scheme. Works very well.
what a huge difference a new set of tires and some freshly cleaned wheels make! I really enjoyed the chill music during the first ride out and the shop b-roll in particular. Now i can't wait to see the headlights shine again!
the kid actually held the camera pretty good hehe
good to see the restoration started!
First time seeing your R34.....that color ❤

Looks so nice after a litte wash! I think there are so many beautiful spots around there,to take cool photos of the R34!
True example of a timeless work of art 👌🏻
Fresh rubber is an outstanding feeling. Nice.
Re: Brake master cylinder, get a new assembly. Dont just change the seals, the bore (aluminium) gets worn too. Great car you have there! Looking forward to the other videos. Cheers!
Loving this series and can't wait for the next one. Been a big fan of this car since the build updates on Speedhunters. Good to see it back!
Glad you enjoy it!
Love how you take your kids to shops and just hang out with them. Keep up the great work. Greetings from SoCal
Thanks! Yeah I try to involve them as much as I can
Possibly my favourite looking wheels. Loving the vids, the atmosphere is kinda soothing.
Soo very happy to see picking back up on this beauty! I cant wait to follow your progress and see where you take this car!!!
Been looking forward to the next installment in this series. Great editing and filming as always. Thanks for the treat this Sunday morning. ✌
Glad you enjoyed it!
thoroughly enjoy your vids dino, the laid backness to them is refreshing.
Thank you! Heath to hear that!
Love the video Dino. If I ever come to Japan. I will definitely tap in. These GTR’s can be achievable.
This series is what I have always wanted.
❤️
I can’t believe you only have 50k subs. You’ll get 1M subs in no time! I love your content man
Thanks man! 🙏🏻
Those are my top 3 favourite wheels of all time for the skyline, your R34 looks so sick with this wrap holy shit!!! More content with it please!!!!
Awesome stuff brother, she's looking great
such great story! wish i still have my 91 accord to restore and play with.
Colour is awesome 👏🏻
Woooow maaan what a great car you have , Keep it forever, and let the little prince own it after you , Start from now to teach him that this is a priceless treasure and must be taken care of .
For a 20 plus year old car it looks mint on the inside, best of luck with the restoration!
Loved this behind the scenes look at the GTR revival!
the brake switch on the pedal can open and clean the contacts. easy fix with some sand paper. inside it is really simple it just continuity of 12vots when the pedal is mashed
It’s the rubber grommet that broke, easy fix
Awesome, looking forward to next episodes.
Cool Videos Bro, Amazing Car the Sound by Starting makes me Happy xD
I miss the Bayside Blue under that wrap...but as always, your car is always amazing
I would LOVE IT if you removed the wrap. It would set those gorgeous wheels off PERFECTLY. Do it!
Lovely, lovely car by the way.
Preventative maintenance is the way forward.
Nismo plenum! Big spender. Enjoyed this and looking forward to seeing what you do with it next.
Still thinking about it…
Clean GTR man❤
Best video to watch on a gloomy Sunday evening. Thanks Dino!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can hear the Mines equal length downpipe on this one, music to my ears
Good ears!
Been waiting for this EP.
Great to see more videos on Your R34 and it's journey
might be my new favorite series you do 🫡 can’t wait for the parts to come in!!
this is such an interesting video. really enjoy these type of contents. thanks for sharing
I really missed your Japan videos. Glad they're back!
More to come!
So much respect to you my man, keep enjoying you're beautiful car.
Great video! Looking forward to more of this car 👍🏽
Beautiful GT-R 34. Love the metallic green wrap there very unique body color from the usual white, black, purple, blue, black. If the headlight could be added with a layer of Yellow adhesive lighting protection film that will add some aesthetic to the whole look. But I am not sure if that's allowable on Japan roads.
Your R34 is the most beautiful one I've seen.
Thank you!!
I remember when you wrapped your GT-R and posted it up on Speedhunters all those years ago.
Yeah it's been a minute! Hence why it needs to come off!
Reminded me of my r34 GTR vspec 2. I bought it brand new in 2001. Sold it dirt cheap in 2005. Regretted ever since. I wished I had kept it.
No need to regret, nobody could have predicted it. Hope you enjoyed your time with it
Don't get tired of saying it, the editing, music selection and overall content is the best. Great to see the GTR getting to it's former glory. 🔥
I'm not driving my cars so much last couple of years, buying batteries like a dumbass, antigravity batteries are not a thing where i live, what would you recommend when looking for them? Thanks
Thank you!! I’d say try to find a battery that’s fine to sit on trickle charge and you won’t have issues 👍🏻
Enjoyed the video, good to see your car coming together and back on the road, hopefully it motivates me to get my old car out of the corner of the garage.
What car would that be?
1973 Porsche 914-2.0 litre. I’m the original owner and car is all original.@@dino_dc
Congrats bro it's a stunner
Thank you 🙏🏻
Just needs headlight restoration 👌🏼
You should cover Festa Mille Miglia this year.
Dayum that's a beauty 🔥🔥
I wonder if your kids will like cars same way as you. It would be awesome to see them behind the wheel of the GT-R :)
Hard to say, don’t want to push them so much right now. Plus for them cars = daddy not home so potentially not good lol
This is the type of GTR video we need to see from Japan. Keep up the great work Dino!
Will we see Aki’s car on here soon?
Thank you! Yes definitely!
Loving this series on your 34 Gtr and the history and content 🙏🏽 can we get some feedback on the yokohama ad09’s
And yes get that bayside blue out to shine
Green just pops
Was that KW suspension with the Hydraulic lift a one off solution? I'd love something like that for my 33 and they dont seem to sell kits for Skylines.
It was at the time but they may have listed the kit now.
Might have to send KW a email, but probably a long shot. Thanks for the reply!
I'm glad that I stumbled across your channel keep up the great work and I did not know it was a one owner car that it's a beautiful thing question for you Is it better to go over there to pick one up or look and see if you can find one where you were located vagina and ontario but they are heard defined what do you think ?
If you can, definitely better to check one over in person or pay someone knowledgeable and trustworthy to look over whatever you do find remotely
Maybe a road trip after everything's done? This is too awesome
Definitely!
Hey, wasn't this at TAS 2018? I think I saw it having BBS wheels at the time
Yep on the Brembo/KW booth 👍🏻
I realize this video is a year old. But man that’s a beautiful GT-R, really like that green color. Is it still painted this way? Hopefully you were able to fix all its issues. Thank you for showing the tag/insurance process. Many tuners here in the states like to install the old jdm plates on their cars lol and I think it looks pretty cool. 😎
Thanks, no the wrap was pulled off last year
keep up the good work bro!
Thanks, will do!
I am about to bring back my ride on the street after many years if sleep...
Fiat coupe turbo limited edition.
Whish me luck!
Best of luck!
Nice. When I bought my Autechversion the brake pistons were seizing slightly in the calipers. Had to get them blasted to resolve it. PS do you know of a tuning shop called WAIS racing? Possibly closed now….. they tuned the itb’s on my import.
No sorry never heard
awesome video! what camera did you use to film this! such clarity!
I shoot on an iPhone 13 Pro & Alec on a Sony A7S
I will be moving out to APAC region in a few months, specifically Singapore. I will most likely be coming to Japan to pick up a few Akiya.

I realize there are alot of videos, but it's difficult to determine for me at least, what the true prices are and what my options are.
Not sure anymore, seems to be hard to gauge with so many trying to make a quick buck. Best advice is to use reputable resellers
@dino_dc yeah, I hear yah. I will have to research that as well. I'm not sure if you've made a video about that. it might be a good idea.
nice wheels!
Hey I'm wondering if you know how I could find my original km's. Garage Saurus replaced my cluster with a 320km speedo when they rebuilt my engine. Any advice would be appreciated 🙏
You’d have to look at what was recorded on the original cluster, did they get rid of it?
Hi Dino, I have a question to ask about how strict Japan is when it comes to car inspections, what are the things does the inspector look in the car in order to pass it and make it road legal? Also, what about those tuned cars that has a semi- gutted interior with bolt-on roll cages how does shaken inspectors manage to pass those cars?

I plan to do a full episode in this once the car is ready to go into the inspection! 👍🏻
@@dino_dc thanks for the reply Dino. By the way I am looking forward for more video updates on your 34 and other car stuff in your YT channel.
beautiful car
Super car you wrapped the car to preserve OG paint
Too many of these are re painted or color changed
awesome color
Hey Dino, do you ever have mold issues with Tokyo being so humid?
Yeah of course, everything gets mold in this place! Have to make sure you put moisture-absorbing packs everywhere around the house, cars included
Hey Dino how did you get the drl mod done ? Trying to do it on my 34! Thanks
That was documented on Speedhunters back in 2016:
www.speedhunters.com/2016/03/project-gt-r-gets-led-upgrade/
@@dino_dc thanks Dino ! Appreciate the reply
Nice WIP
I love the fact, that you are still the first owner
Yep same but fixed with the right extensions
i see that wasp! ❤
It was the same size of a remote control drone 😯
What camera was used on the very first shot of the GTR?
Alec’s Sony A7S
What is that brand a d cord wrap good sir?
Avery Dennison
@@dino_dc lamo. Thank you. My keyboard is crap. Meant brand and color. Want to wrap my track hawk the same. Thank you
Diecast shop tours please.
Haha will get to those too 👍🏻
Discovered your channel just few weeks ago! Love your content man! I was just wondering, feels like your main 'talking' shots are filmed with a gopro and for the 'beauty' detail shots you use DSLR? ;)
Thank you! IPhone actually
🍀Beautiful Car love the colour🍀
Have not seen your gtr before...unfortunate I probably won't be able to afford one given the timing and collectability now
It’s all gone pretty crazy with these cars…
high beam adjustment?
Yep that’s the only thing they look at when it comes to lights
Glad to see the R34! One question, Is the shaken a hard test for modified cars? Here in Spain is a hell, you'll need to do tons of paperwork and you'll need an homologation to make a mildly modified car road legal.
Not really, the biggest issue is getting it through emissions and noise.
My wife and I are massive fans of you and your channel . We have been in Japan 4 weeks from Canada and will be back in Tokyo on Aug 26. Is there any cars and coffee of shows we can get to that you will be attending? Would love to meet up to say hello? Cheers mate.
Thanks for the follow! Just the usual Daikoku meets I guess. Did you mean September?
@@dino_dc yes we will be in Tokyo from aug 26 to sept 03. Can’t seem to find a way to get to Daikoku without having a car. Do you know of anyway to get there without a car? Thanks mate.
鮫洲の車検場の近くのローソン写ってたな
What color is that wrap?
Should be pearl dark green from avery dennison
Nice GTR 34,good 💯.this is your car dino ?
Yep 👍🏻
that wrap needs to go 😅
It’s going, it’s going…

How much is a r34 in Japan
Prices vary a lot
