I’m not even a 34 fan but these Mines gtrs are quite possibly the most beautifully built jdm cars of all time. I just love the mindset of the company. Just amazing.
Can I just say, the R34, when modified properly, is one of the very best looking cars of all time!? I don't mean beautiful in the way a Miura or E-Type or 250 GTO is, but it's one of those cars that just looks so bloody perfect that you can't help but stare at it for minutes, hours even, and feel a sense of joy. I certainly do. These two are two of the very best looking R34s I have seen! Whoever decided to cosmetically keep them standard and only put that front bumper, and not put a hideous widebody kit and stanced wheels, is an absolute legend. Whoever it is, thank you!
@@uptownsamcv R34 being boxy is what makes it better than the R33 IMO and others opinions too. I think most people would agree, and historical price trends could reflect this opinion too.
“It has a conservative 650 hp” 😂😂 Larry I’m old enough to know 650hp isn’t conservative but I know what you mean given today’s power. Muscle car guy my whole life, but I do love and respect these builds, almost concours builds with extremely tasteful/utilitarian modifications
I definitely remember Best Motoring driving the R34 Mines car back in the day, it's burnt into my memory forever. I also think it did a 56 seconds lap at Tsukuba which is insanely fast.
Ya but they madr sure the japanese cars were faster. Hard to judge how fast it really was based on those videos. Short shifting, sloppy driving, lazy lines and acceleration, thats how they kept other countries from beating them.
The start of the video what it looked like if I’m seeing the finest Katana swords side by side!!! The level of details, art and beauty of Mine’s and Built by Legend!!! I love the philosophy of Mine’s and the Art of Built by Legend 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼❤❤❤
$700k nissan aint my thing but big respect to MINE'S for dumping this much passion into old nissans. props to anyone who buys this and actually uses it as intended
Essentially he understands that these two Mines are like tuning shop take on limited edition Z tune Nismo R34s that are worth $1mil. True cost of Z Tunes could even be higher since collectors hodl.
Two beautiful & cleanest R43 GT-R I have ever seen. They sure do know how to keep it well maintain. And for sure anyone who buys these 2 cars are not going to be driving them weekly but rather storing them away to raise their values and resell them again. Honestly, I would never spend $700k on these 2 cars just for them to be show cars. I like to drive my cars, show them off, rev them up and track them!
This is a comprehensive art that embodies the uniquely refined aesthetic and the extraordinary perfectionism towards craftsmanship that is characteristic of Japanese.
Love how they designed the front based on the last JGTC Skyline GT500 contender that Nismo used because that was the last time the RB26 engine was used in the series. The one that followed it received a V-engine and got a more sculpted front (because the banked cylinders meant it can sit the front lower for better aero). However, the V-engine means it doesn't have the heart of a true Skyline GT-R anymore. All it was was just a silhouette with matching headlights and taillights and windows. They could have just put a 350Z body into it (which happened the following year) but it wasn't ready until next season. The "last" Skyline GT-R to ever race in JGTC was early-season-2002.
Read the title to the video and was like, "How on earth could each of these cost $700k to build? As the video kept progrssing I kept saying to myself, "Oh, this is how!" Stunning cars.
Man I am an Evo guy and I am very envious about how these GTRs getting restored and pampered while Lancer Evos withers away with time....damn you Mitsubishi 😢😢😢
@RumblesBettr Why be jealous of the car? Just appreciate it like a piece of art 🤷♂️ As for the money, people who've earned it can spend it however the F they want. And actually they make it possible for you to be jealous of the car😉 Without their money these cars wouldn't probably exist.
The Mines R34 from Best Motoring is one of my favourite cars of all time - not sure it’s $700k favourite though…. These restomods are getting crazy imo.
Out of this world how JDM car culture is breathing new life of appreciation into old cars like the R34. These two examples are far more superior than when they were first released. Incredible!
Wow! Such attention to detail on the whole build! From the extra reinforced spot welds to the bespoke interior touches! These definitely are the bang for buck compared to a 5 mil+ CRS price tag. Also side note, why are the transmissions so noisy when at idle in the pits? Love the coverage, hope to see more in detail videos!
Everytime I see content on the R34, I die a little inside, cause I passed up the opportunity to buy one back in the day. It was a Plum Purple R34, that was already imported into the US (Still right hand drive). At the time the asking price was like between $34K to $36K. This was around 2006 ish. It was a pretty clean example too.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I want one badly! I get why somethings are discontinued, however the market is strong for this! Nissan/Nismo imo should continue producing parts, they need to account for cost changes

In my dream one of them is a track built. My favorite racing buckets, rear seat delete, and a clubsport type of cage. My other dream is with it at the Nurbourgring. I envy you.
What amazing content - keeping the GT-R & Mine's name plate going. Lovely photo @15:05 do you have this as a downloadable .jpg for wallpapers and backgrounds!
I wasn't aware he'd left? The playlist for his stuff on the Hagerty channel shows a pretty consistent flow of videos averaging I want to say 2 every 2 months or so?

R33 wins hands down

@@skelebonesdr3836 I still think it's ugly compared to the R33. most people just like the R34 because it's the newer car
R33 is a mixture of R32 and 34 best of both worlds🦎
I never get tired of Larry's GTR content. I always learn so much and his enthusiasm makes it so worth watching.

Conservative compared to what you can make from an RB28 engine 😅
the novelty of 1000+ has worn off on me, 400-700 seems like the sweet spot
Stock R35 makes that with just coming out the factory!!!
650 is less than bare minimum, you're just old
@@soflojitMaybe you are too young?)
That Mt. Fuji sunset shot was goated af, what a time to be alive when you could relive those moments endlessly on the Internet.

These are hands down the Most BEAUTIFUL R-34’s I’ve Seen in a long long time!!
the sounds these cars make... eargasm. exquisite builds.
I love my LS, but damn, nothing sounds better than an RB at full tilt!
Incredible builds and spectacular photography at the end.
Insane collection of goats between the R34s, BBL, Garage Yoshida, and Larry himself
Thank you guys for watching, checknout my personal channel for more automotive content like this!
@@LarryChenPhoto Huge props for taking that Mt. Fuji photo! It looks other worldly! Thank you!
Hopefully, we can buy one of those pictures from your website soon. Count me in if we can! I already have the blue R34 in the tunnel!
These car culture segments are great! Always bringing the best automotive content
is there anyway to get those photos as phone wallpapers?
I have a lot of respect for your work. Keep doing what you do and I'll keep my eyes wide open.

People with this kind of money don't enjoy things. They just buy them as investments and lock them up in some garage until it's time to sell.

If I was rich I would pay even a bit extra if they build one with the steering wheel on the right side (the left side) ;)
Beautiful ending, amazing cars, works of art to be treasured for generations to come
I've always love the Mine BNR34 when i first saw it for the first time. It's my preference style if I decided to by a GTR34 one day.
Larry is a man's man. He is one of the goats in the car culture community but he replies to everyone like a friend!

14:48 you GOTA make a poster of this one!!!
I was wondering it the front bumpers were impul, cool to see mines inspired by the impul front bumper
Hope to catch you on your next visit in Japan, your materials inspire us and the generations to come. Absolute beauty!
Imagine dailying this to work. So sick
My brother. If u daily this… u don’t work

Sweet looking GTR Nissan’s love the turbo’s They generate so much power to the road. Beautiful! 💯👊👍💕
This is insane, the amount of detail work is just out of this world. This are perfect Nissan GT-Rs , great video 😊❤❤
These were both at Pebble Beach Consourse yesterday! I’m not a big R34 fan, but they were certainly an eye catcher!
I wish I had more thumbs ups to spare because this video was incredible. Thank you!!

Hard not to compare them to a singer.
Larry because of you and Dustin Williams I’ve now seen 2 different MASA’s thank you both 👍😂
R34 will never go out of style
Haters: "GT-R 34 is overhyped/overrated."
Nah you just don't about them my guy. If you know, you know.
6:48 hey I’m in the video! 😁
Aside from the fact that these two cars are beautiful and brilliant, I just love the fact that Larry dailies a Google Pixel mobile phone😁

When Nikurisan cold revved it… warmed my soul 😅
Pure Art I Have a R34 GTR Vspec in Bayside blue myself and ya that color is so hard to match or get right so many variations of it
Front bumper is beautiful.
honestly. that’s a clean front end. so many kits and designs. this one is simple effective and looks damn good and modern
8:30 nothing like a multi plate strapless clutch and some bigass cams 😁😁♥

I want one badly!
I get why somethings are discontinued, however the market is strong for this! Nissan/Nismo imo should continue producing parts, they need to account for cost changes
This channel is so good it makes me want to subscribe to their drivers club and i don't even have a car.

anyone know where he uploads his pictures? looking to make 14:49 my phone screen.
Is this what Heaven looks like?? I need a print of the GT-R’s with Mt Fuji in the background.
I wanna see Mr. Yoshida and his wife's Daily drivers. If you could please help out with that. Thanks.
