Well we've got successors for the R34 and RX-7 in the GTR and RX-8, and it's rumored that Toyota is making a Supra successor. Tough luck for the S15 though. It's a beautiful car.
shakybones007 Let's not forget about the 350z/370z. I mean sure the R35 and LFA are fast, but those are considered super cars. These were just middle class sports cars with lots of potential.
It's called heel and toe downshifting. They use their right foot to press the brake pedal and blip the gas pedal to give the engine some revs while it downshifts so the engine is spinning as fast as it would be in the lower gear, so they don't lose any speed by forcing the engine to engine-brake like when you downshift normally.
I would say the RX7 is the best car there, lightweight balanced and poised chassis with the perfect engine combo. Got to be one of the best FR cars ever made... Then the S15 also light weight, good engine, The S chassis is so good when it's setup right, With more appropriate tire width and abs it would of been a monster...
+Christopher Mohamed No this is just a H pattern transmission, its just the way that Keichi changes gear.Sequential doesn't use H pattern only forwards and backwards, it automatically cuts the engine when you change gear and pushes the throttle on downshifts to eliminate heel toe technique.
+Alexand21 Have another look, he is definitely not H-shifting but moving the lever forwards and backwards just as you brought out. If you don't believe that, then look, he is not using the clutch pedal for shifts but letting go the throttle instead (which might indicate that this gearbox does not have ignition cut-off).
The GT-R is a great tuner machine, however; it's not king of the touge. It will still spank cars, but the RX-7 will spank it in the corners and very tight narrow turns. That NSX will also give a GT-R a run for its money with it's great balance. The designer and engineers had different goals in mind than with the GT-R than Honda and Mazda. GT-R is supposed to be a powerful fast machine that's heavy giving it a well planted feel with good corner exit speed. It just comes up short in entrance.
The FD is still running the stock twin turbo's lol... 350HP is a good tune for the standard turbo's and engine (non ported etc..) I'll be happy to get that sort of power out of mine.
Yes it was. Remember...EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE IN JAPAN. What might be $2000 in body work here(the U.S.A), is around 5000 over there...and vehicle damage piles up lol. But yeah. I'm chilled brah lol
did the GTRs brakes fade? He tried to brake on the first corner of the last lap and it seemed like the brakes didn't exactly slow down the car like it should...
respect for the rx7 . only 350hp . the other cars have 500+ ..
+Leonard Kurki Just think if it had a better racing setup or even a 3rd rotor!
It’s not about power. It’s about balance!
in this case. it was about power and balance.
red88alert i agree
This track is small, even if there is a car with 800hp but doesn't have a excellent controlability, it won't win over these cars
is it just me or is watching them drive is pure ecstatic?
Car went out of production but I think they are as popular as ever now
funny how that happened huh. classic jdm are the best cars ever imo
Lol, they are probably more popular than recent made car.
4 cars that we need back
Well we've got successors for the R34 and RX-7 in the GTR and RX-8, and it's rumored that Toyota is making a Supra successor. Tough luck for the S15 though. It's a beautiful car.
no i mean we need these exact cars back
I've got an S15 so im happy :)
sharms888 I hope you don't live in the U.S. or else that car will go bye-bye
Why what do you mean
And that's what tuned race cars are for - track racing, not that dumb street accelerating.
Ksensei41 well you have to kinds of guys.. People fighting on the autobahn and the crazy guys on the backroads
Damn Kawasaki pulled a Shingo on poor keiichi
R00ZBAY86 *Shinigami technique*
KANSEI DORIFTO
*[ N A S T Y S I D E O P R E S S O ]*
Lets face it with perhaps the exception of the R35, ALL 4 of them are way better than ANYTHING Japan is making now.
LF-A?
trvsball
Ah forgot the LFA, Certainly the LFA is an exception.
shakybones007 Let's not forget about the 350z/370z. I mean sure the R35 and LFA are fast, but those are considered super cars. These were just middle class sports cars with lots of potential.
Compared to a RX7, S15, R34 and a Supra a 350z and 370z is in a class below. The Hairdresser class.
shakybones007 How do you figure? It comes with the same HP or more stock. It has great handling. Tons of potential.
"Some folks are wondering if the spirit of Japanese supersports cars is going to fade.." 😭😭😭
Best all round engine gearbox Chassis Performance S15 ALL DAY EVERYDAY
I have watched this race 100 times and it still gets me pumped!!!!!
I agree on that. But it shows just how good that FD is. Holding position for so long just with it's cornering performance is truly impressive.
The GTR turbos tho 😍
The s15s gearbox tho 😢
Yeh i think the sequential made the S15 faster...
that s15 is so sexy
That BOV on that Supra is sick and that S15 with that sequential trans.
even though they been out of production they're still so many left just sitting in japan. damn you american customs!
We get them all in Australia
Antifaith29 Hate you guys XD
As of 2015 you can legally import R32s and S13s. The time of the American Skyline and Silvia are upon us!
@@pokemaster123ism well in it's 19 and I've seen a few R34s
the s15 greatly impressed me
S15 so impressed me by speed
2002, the end of an era...
I wish I was called Kawasaki
i wish i was called supra
+Julius Reed even if you are the worst driver, and everyone calls you a p**k?
I feel the fd was slightly underpowered. If it had 450 to 500 hp the FD would have been able to fight in the straights or possibly won.
+Jetstream7271 would have fight in the straights and would have killed them all in corners, just like it was doing it.
bobagopaaa rofl.
bobagopaaa are u stupid ?😂
Bobagobaa are u stupid? haha
@@jiunnweipoon7686 imagine the lag it would have at 550
I mean lets be honest, the S15 had it
Its rx 7
''At least we know you can't beat me straight up.''
''I didn't know there were any rules.''
the golden age of japanese sports cars

Tsuchiya Is Just Too Beast...
Jdm legends
these are the best tuner japanese super cars a collector can have.
They are all gorgeous and special in their own way - I've owned all of them!
lucky youu :D
Avinash Rawoteea late question
which do you think is the most fun?
Avinash Rawoteea post videos or it didn't happen
In Need for Speed or Gran Turismo?
That supra sounds like it's giggling lol
he sounds like the same commentator for Iron Chef
we need cars like these 4 back
Good aggressive driving. Shame about the hit.
he used the technique I always use in gran turismo in the end LOL
I would say the RX7 is the best car there, lightweight balanced and poised chassis with the perfect engine combo. Got to be one of the best FR cars ever made...
Then the S15 also light weight, good engine, The S chassis is so good when it's setup right, With more appropriate tire width and abs it would of been a monster...
this race makes me wanna cry...
Was the S15 manual transmission? It looks like it might be sequential.
Christopher Mohamed I think you're right
Christopher Mohamed yep sequential
+Christopher Mohamed No this is just a H pattern transmission, its just the way that Keichi changes gear.Sequential doesn't use H pattern only forwards and backwards, it automatically cuts the engine when you change gear and pushes the throttle on downshifts to eliminate heel toe technique.

^ Thanks for noticing, Mark
When Keiichi says "a prick who brought 600ps of GTR(34)" i already figured out which idiot it is LOL
@44Swager They WERE scared because the rx-7's rotary engine uses power so well. Smooth like marmalade.
Fd3s FTW
Agreed
Nissan needs to bring back the Silvia!!!
Love how the s15 just luched when he got spun out
The GT-R is a great tuner machine, however; it's not king of the touge. It will still spank cars, but the RX-7 will spank it in the corners and very tight narrow turns.

What is this from? A DVD?
Very good driver Tsuchiya...! :) love it... very poor GTR kawasaki emotional driving....
GT-R confidence so much in his ABS and couldnt stop at the right time !!!
I used to watch this video when i was a kid
They reduced the BHP of the FD3S so everyone has an equal chance :P
In my opiniom the crashe's fault was od Tsuchiya because he didnt saw the Kawasaki coming so he closed. But after all, this guys are amazing.
Tsuchiya is such a fuckin' hardass. "You know some douchbag brought a AWD, 600hp car to this battle" hahaha.
The FD is still running the stock twin turbo's lol... 350HP is a good tune for the standard turbo's and engine (non ported etc..) I'll be happy to get that sort of power out of mine.
Fuckings low this era. The Supra, RX-7 FD and R34. What a great machines. Which I had all of them. Seriously.
Silvia s15😍😍
i like them all because they all redefined the tuning world annnd they all have different characteristics. that make them ALL attractive
All these cars are great. I want to have them all !!
Yes it was.
Remember...EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE IN JAPAN. What might be $2000 in body work here(the U.S.A), is around 5000 over there...and vehicle damage piles up lol. But yeah. I'm chilled brah lol
Great machines!!
@44Swager
all personally owned cars, they worked with what they had - it was a battle between friends =)
did the GTRs brakes fade? He tried to brake on the first corner of the last lap and it seemed like the brakes didn't exactly slow down the car like it should...
Where can I find the whole video? I know this one is about an hour long.
best drivers best cars
I'd like any of these cars. For real.
So far only R34's successor R35 is currently in production
That intro music got me
4:40 That shifting was pure jizz!!
Can I ask something, why he doesn't lift his left foot while shifting or am I missing something?
they said it has a GT spec trans. im guessing its like a DogBox trans or w/e they use in rally cars.
Its tsuchia's ultra lightening fast shifts. It can only be seen in slow mo
Why do the drivers brake and give it gas while pressing the clutch? I've seen that a lot.
which episode is the re-race of this where all cars had around same hp.
What's Tsuchiya's transmission? He's not pressing the clutch, only when he downshifts?
oh man what a shame, you could see he was coming in way too hot with that heavy skyline... good race though :) SR powa
Could I use a clip from this in my Skyline review? Thanks!
I would take any of these 4. They all good.
hmm, no they removed the abs. a common mod to save weight. all s15s came with abs as standard.
R.I.P Drift King.
forgot about all 4... if i had 1 of these life will be complete
Which gearbox is used in the Silvia s15?
What model is that R-34 with the center console?
I like FD3S^^
S15
If you can't beat-em
CHEAT-EM!!
ahaha that's hilarious Kawasaki's GTR "I'm Coming" BUMP! Tsuchiya S15 "what a Prick!".
what's transmission in the s15,,is that sequential???
@Keiichitsuchiya6 the silvia is using a sequential gearbox. no need to use the clutch... that explains it... if you're not sarcastic though. lol
wish these videos were in HD
dont forget the NSX!
lol perfect end he was like screw this hits the silvia s15 XD
Epic battle
2:34 check out what they are doing in the back... hahaha love these guys!
what does PS stand for? I'm assuming its something like horsepower?
Rx7 killed considering it's way underpowered than all the others, killer on those corners just not the straight aways. :p
Rotary ftw!
That guy should never be let near a gtr again.
Rx7 ♥♥♥♥♥
very good race hey...
When I heard the GTR and S15 hit each other i was like OHH SHIIIIT!!! but then the other two didn't hit them and im like HAHA HOORAY!
These are awesome, but the cars are so tuned up it doesn't really say anything about the stock versions of the cars...
Wouldv been better if the RX7 was as tuned as the rest of them
Silvia fans?
SR20 FTW :))
Savo GTR33 isnt it a sr22?
what gearbox is the S15 using
Kawasaki did the classic Shinigami R bump technique
Tsuchiya so had this!!! what a great race.
@AtzengamerMemphis well it was Tsuchiya driving. Keiichi 'Dorikin' Tsuchiya (drift king)
S15 is the best balance of power, agility and good looks.
