I drove one of these once. This car isn't all it's cracked up to be. The joysticks were vague on center, and the parking brake modulation was very poor when pressing the circle button.
Yup. This, the MK IV Supra and the old Datsun Z car will always be (to me) THE timeless shape of Japanese performance cars. Nothing else that's ever come out of japan has even come close to touching those 3 iconic shapes.
awesome video and really motivates me to finish mine. I just started an R34 GT-R project build on my channel if anyone wants to check it out. Any support is appreciated, cheers!
PVMTERROR awesome video and really motivates me to finish mine. I just started an R34 GT-R project build on my channel if anyone wants to check it out. Any support is appreciated, cheers!
No kidding, I was originally about to watch a video about GTA 5, but I see this one take amongst the recommended and quickly forgot all about GTA 5 and watched this instead. THIS, is my ultimate dream japanese car, alongside a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback.
what do you think i mean, the gtr didn't come on super hard coilovers and he said himself he put an aftermarket exhaust and intake on it and had it tuned, he also clearly has an aftermarket carbon fibre bonnet and the r34 didn't come sitting on volk te37 rims, this is a modified vehicle not a stock vehicle
just got off work, working a 12 hour night shift.. thought i was going to bed right away.. nope had to watch this video. 11 mins well spent. #longlivegtr
Canada registered, loved internationally. Watching this in Guyana South America. We have a few of these Godzillas here but more GTR R35 models than the others. JDM for life..my own machine is turbo MR2 sw20!
Still the king of JDM that RB26 is legendary but Moe you should definitely think about doing a motor swap this skyline should have a gallo12 or if you can afford it a gallo24 man
Mike Arredondo please don't listen to this guy. Keep it original and get some softer suspension because that looked like driving on steel shafts not coils.
I have to say I feel that Matt did miss an opportunity to go in to more detail about the R34. For a car that so many people are extremely interested in, and a car that few people have real life experience of seeing let alone driving, he didn't mention anything about the steering, controls, interior, handling characteristics, downsides, none of that. I totally get that this was more just a fun video, but there was definitely more to say about the R34, at least a 15 minute video. Maybe Matt felt that the suspension was actually so bad that some aspects of the car had to be glossed over as it wasn't going to be a good representation of the R34 in general?
Gorgeous R34 in proper colour. Perhaps the only Japanese car other than the original NSX I would consider buying. Have driven an R34 before, and wow is it just a well-executed machine.
ChaosphereIX really? No other Japanese cars you would even consider? Are there more bullet points you forgot to mention like "classic", or unicorn version? Yes I am biased but I can think of a lot of old Japanese cars that would easily make a consideration phase. Sorry I'm not hating on you I just got a little triggered thinking of all the non Japanese cars you could be thinking of instead of the Japanese options. Just want to hear more of the thought process.
Nope, none. I am an Italian / Swedish car guy [own and Alfa Romeo and Saab currently]...but the R34 and NSX have always held my interest. Other than that, no other Japanese car has ever done the same. I am mostly not a fan of their engine notes, but especially their styling...not for me. Oddly enough, my Alfa is still huge in Japan - lots of collectors over there. Mine is actually an imported Japanese limited edition [under 100 made]. But that is the beauty of the car market - there are cars past and present that suit all tastes and preferences...so when you are hunting for your perfect JDM import, at least you know I won't be fighting you for the keys ;)
The engine itself is what he meant. The rest is bolt on parts. No big cam, internals, bigger turbo, etc. I think guys say that to be a bit modest and not sound like they're bragging.
Stock except its making 75-80hp at the wheels more then what it did at the crank from the factory haha sounds like my old man, " totally stock except the $4k i spent on go fast bits
My parents bought me a gift experience to drive an r34 on track, and this video has made me so much more excited for it, that road and that car look perfect
I'll agree with him there on the bit about HICAS, it is a surreal feeling when it kicks in, you feel like the rear end is going to break free, but it just digs in and finds more grip! I have a 99 Stagea with all of the R34 GTR drivetrain (trans, awd setup. subframe, suspension diffs) except the 2.6, and it handles way better than it should!
its stock and runs hi-cas on its suspension i doubt hes "that guy" that would be the guy with the blitz body kit and a 800 hp build that cant drive it bc hes a hard parker with an entire parts list of "sponsored...or not" parts used. Idk after the tomei build but its his "dream car" much like it is mine...hes going to have like infinite builds in the lifetime of this car if i know anything about how much these people get caught up in the obsession of continuously changing the car, while enjoying it in every form every mod every tune.
Valerio Felice awesome video and really motivates me to finish mine. I just started an R34 GT-R project build on my channel if anyone wants to check it out. Any support is appreciated, cheers!
Valerio Felice 7 or 8 years ago i visited Australia and all i can remember was looking at R34 or R32, R33. 2 doors and 4doors. even saw a shop that fix GTR. made my trip 100% perfect.
yuenming qiu I would ignore this because i assume you are trolling but screw it. Many people younger than 30 were introduced to the car scene because of that movie franchise and it grew from there. His personal love off camera for the R34 was well received by many of his fans here in States. The states were never blessed with the GT-R respectfully until the R35. We are just now getting the R32s legally and soon the R33s. I am very well aware of gozilla's history as well as many other iconic JDM cars. Many people get there inspiration or spark differently from how you may have got yours , so have some respect from for that troll. Does it even matter? Cars bring people together and that's all that matters.
The Nissan Patrol engine is the TB48DE 4.8 liter straight six like the RB engines but physically bigger I believe, and as Matt said, many Patrols are modified in Dubai. For example, probably the most powerful Nissan Patrol in Dubai at least has 2000 HP and went on to hit 205 mph to speed before the passenger door blew off the car. So yeah it can produce serious power.
Matthew Leach buy one from out of the country, import the power train and chassis separately; then reassemble the vehicle in the states and register it as a kit car👍
I'm in love with Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and italian cars in general but a Bay Side Blue R34 Skyline GTR is one of my dream car since I saw it in Gran Turismo.
lel , someone doesn't know a canadian imported skyline when he sees one. oh , and their a dime a dozen here too. got 15k to spend ? get a gtt r34 , or hell 20k and an r32gtr up here. well r32's are now more like 30k becuase Americans want em all .
This one is just a regular GT-R (or as regular as a GT-R gets, I guess), but I think the VSpecs and other higher trims may be eligible under that same loophole they were bringing some of the rarer R32s in before they hit 25. I've also heard rumors that some of the Motorex R34s survived.
William Mills - your idea of good coilovers and mine must be totally different. I've driven on many types of Tein suspension over the last 15 years, and non has impressed me. All either bouncy or harsh. Matt's first comment was about the suspension, I'm not surprised. This is the normal mindset of most people. Spend money on expensive wheels, carbon parts and uprated power, then spend peanuts on suspension. The suspension makes a huge difference to the 'performance' of the car, as well as making a massive difference in ride quality, and how nice the car is to drive.
He recently imported the car, and most japanese "average" tuners put basic tein coilovers to lower the car ..most of the cars i've seen imported from japan came with tein flex z
He means the feel of the car. See you are ANOTHER example of so fuckne many stupid internet nerds that WANTS to be cool but just isnt cause his ass is always talking.
Christmas came early... really, really early. I was hoping you'd do a stock R34 GTR for the One Take videos one day, and I'm so happy that day has come. Nothing compares to an R34 GTR with slight modifications.
Matt, as crazy as this sounds the R32 has got the cornering capability so long as the stock suspension setup is properly maintained and the 4 wheel steer is on and functioning you will experience oversteer at the very limit of the tires, which means you don't want modern sport cup 2's with a stock R32. If you can find the right tire that doesn't have too much grip then you'll find that the R32 is highly adjustable at the limit and is not all that different from the R33 which was like 30 seconds faster around the 'ring because it's turbo setup achieved better low end grunt allowing for better power access on such a technical track, but that R32 is excellent for 3rd and 4th gear corners sweeping bends and so on. If I owned one I'd mess with the turbo's and gearing to provide more similar powerband behavior to the R33 but with the appeal of the R32.
Bar Gym the car and its owner are from Canada and he probably did a bunch of research ahead of time to figure out his exact route to not get in a bunch of trouble.
Honestly, all I can say is that the R34 is and has been my dream car for a long, LONG time. When Matt said "If you have to ask, then you already know the answer", he was referring to the fact that this car is NOT legal in the states. there was an incident several years ago that made not even a dozen of them legal in the states, but as of now it is illegal to import these cars, and if you do and the government finds out, they give you the same sentence as a smuggler, because you smuggled in an R34 GTR. With time, we will get these cars soon enough!
3:00 "Look at this thing turning it's like a 911 turbo!"
"...don't push it mo" LMAO
thecamlog I wouldn't call that pushing, since the r34 is really a great machine handling wise.
DoubleC it would be like comparing f1 cars to another f1 they both are fantastic
Best comment! I get this car in a lot of ways is the holy grail of japanese cars... but it is no comparison to a 911 Turbo performance-wise.
DoubleC lol how do you know? have you driven both?
Lol yeah for its time, it would smack a 911 turbo.
I drove one of these once. This car isn't all it's cracked up to be. The joysticks were vague on center, and the parking brake modulation was very poor when pressing the circle button.
funkingitup you drove a crappy r34 then.
Omar Garcia how did that joke go over your head?
Well played
Nestea Iced tea I'll admit I didn't get the joke but now I feel stupid 😂
Rudy same ! That game was the SHIT. PS2. I miss those days
Engineering ahead of its time. Styling beyond its years.
garf117 the styling is forever futuristic
garf117 the pinnacle of Japanese engineering and design
Yup. This, the MK IV Supra and the old Datsun Z car will always be (to me) THE timeless shape of Japanese performance cars. Nothing else that's ever come out of japan has even come close to touching those 3 iconic shapes.
Silvia spec r the same
Silvia Spec R, FD Rx7, MKIV Supra, R34... Japan had it going
"its stock"
10 seconds later "Tein coilovers" lol
anthony mcgrath Stock engine. Lol.
Coilovers is still stock dude smh
anthony mcgrath don't forget intake and exhaust
anthony mcgrath I’d rather have this than that guy that was like, “It’s stage 2... It has intake, exhaust, and a tune.”
This is not stock... the guy's a liar
I love the owner's enthusiasm. It's exactly what you'd expect from someone given the massive following of this car. Nissan for life
i want to be his friend
I did sales for like 3 months, fucking hated it haha
awesome video and really motivates me to finish mine. I just started an R34 GT-R project build on my channel if anyone wants to check it out. Any support is appreciated, cheers!
Rado Radovan so i havent looked into it, but how do i get an r34 in the states??
huh? I never said it didn't lol
I love that line "its stock" followed by "except exhaust, intake, suspension..."
J F and tires an a tune
Bolt ons
never clicked a one take so fast!
PVMTERROR awesome video and really motivates me to finish mine. I just started an R34 GT-R project build on my channel if anyone wants to check it out. Any support is appreciated, cheers!
No kidding, I was originally about to watch a video about GTA 5, but I see this one take amongst the recommended and quickly forgot all about GTA 5 and watched this instead. THIS, is my ultimate dream japanese car, alongside a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback.
PVMTERROR never clicked the thumbs up so fast😍 Oh... the color. my absolute favorite stock color😍😙😚😘
PVMTERROR I
Holy crap.. I love this... nicely spec'd for sure and the owner got it right!
The owner is hyped more than Matt
looks like they hit a few bumps before filming
hahaha it's his dream car man
Martin Quin I would be too if I owned an R34
if I had my dream car I wouldn't stop smiling either
"Look, it's even got a lap timer! You press this button and it times your laps!"
It sounds like the dude is trying to sell the car to Matt lmfao
Steven Benitez in Matt's dreams.
Ikr lol XD
Of course he has the shirt to go with the car.
I would too if I owned it! No shame.
Wish we had roads like this in my country. Man, it's beautiful.
Still looking good. What a car. My dream car too.
Loved the energy of this one, Matt. It's good to see the owner beam with pride the way he did and he seemed very genuine.
what does stock mean to these people? oh just stock with intake exhaust dyno tune coilovers rims tyres blow off valve carbon fibre bonnet
cars come stock w ith an intake, exhaust, springs, rims, tyres... I don't get what you mean
Well the last R34 video I made the car had 1,000 HP, so....
logan he changed those components that's what he means
TheMrMurtle He means that other than the exhaust and intake, the motor is stock. No AM cams, internals, turbo, etc.
what do you think i mean, the gtr didn't come on super hard coilovers and he said himself he put an aftermarket exhaust and intake on it and had it tuned, he also clearly has an aftermarket carbon fibre bonnet and the r34 didn't come sitting on volk te37 rims, this is a modified vehicle not a stock vehicle
just got off work, working a 12 hour night shift.. thought i was going to bed right away.. nope had to watch this video. 11 mins well spent. #longlivegtr
xl3erry amen brotha
Canada registered, loved internationally. Watching this in Guyana South America. We have a few of these Godzillas here but more GTR R35 models than the others. JDM for life..my own machine is turbo MR2 sw20!
Still the king of JDM that RB26 is legendary but Moe you should definitely think about doing a motor swap this skyline should have a gallo12 or if you can afford it a gallo24 man
Mike Arredondo please don't listen to this guy. Keep it original and get some softer suspension because that looked like driving on steel shafts not coils.
MOG Cleric it's a inside joke it's not a real motor 😂
Mike Arredondo I didn't know pizza places sold motors
MOG Cleric *woosh!*
The best comment in RUclips history
Matt: don't push it Mo!
crazythedon I updated the comment?
Still says Mou
thejerg are you happy now? 😜
crazythedon now do you want a candy or a chocolate? 😂
The line you're looking for is: Do you want a cookie?
Note to us people. Get a friend who can let you tag it in Canada and park it in the states. Perfectly legal
R34 is the best looking GTR
nah R32
KrazyDayZ191 nope, r35.
I like the Kenmeri.
KrazyDayZ191
I'd say in looks
1. R32
2. R33
3. R34
And the current GTR is last
KPGC10 is better looking
Just two Car enthusiast enjoying a ride, this is what RUclips was made for.
"yeesssss a skyline"
*Clicks video*
"Aaaaaahh sounds so good ^.^"
This was a super enjoyable video to watch. you seemed genuinely excited to be driving this car, Matt.
"I've been trying to keep these videos under 10 mins". "that shit ain't happening today"
makes video 11 mins long...
Bob The Bob Well he wasn't lying lolol
I have to say I feel that Matt did miss an opportunity to go in to more detail about the R34. For a car that so many people are extremely interested in, and a car that few people have real life experience of seeing let alone driving, he didn't mention anything about the steering, controls, interior, handling characteristics, downsides, none of that.

logan86123 I think he doesn't want to coment because suspension really ruins it
Easily fixed with coilovers, which 9/10 R34s have that are here in the states.
Matt likes to live the thug life.
Owner sounds like salesman on a test drive. 😒
He's just iin love with his car
It's a "stock" GT-R
Buck Futter screw you man. Butter is awesome.
So sick to see a buddy of mine on a One Take finally
read the description
Came out 1999
-"its like a 911 turbo"
-"dont push it... " 😂
Gorgeous R34 in proper colour. Perhaps the only Japanese car other than the original NSX I would consider buying. Have driven an R34 before, and wow is it just a well-executed machine.

Try an FD RX7.
flacjacket it will break down before it gets anywhere
Amongst a ton of automotive RUclips channels, yours is one of the VERY few that is actually good.
Mo: This car is stock. Then he says this car has an intake, exhaust and coilovers.
That is pretty much stock for an r34!
TheDestroyer321 not really
like craigslist bro lol grandma owned never driven hard garage kept 100% stock only has coilovers slammed, full intake, tuned, straight pipe exhaust
The engine itself is what he meant. The rest is bolt on parts. No big cam, internals, bigger turbo, etc. I think guys say that to be a bit modest and not sound like they're bragging.
Stock except its making 75-80hp at the wheels more then what it did at the crank from the factory haha sounds like my old man, " totally stock except the $4k i spent on go fast bits
My parents bought me a gift experience to drive an r34 on track, and this video has made me so much more excited for it, that road and that car look perfect
I've never clicked a video so fast...
devandev Me too
I thought I was dreaming.
oh please its an overrated car
overrated? LOL no... the car lives up to every bit of its hype dude.
even a civic is better and civic's are crap n slow lol
I'll agree with him there on the bit about HICAS, it is a surreal feeling when it kicks in, you feel like the rear end is going to break free, but it just digs in and finds more grip! I have a 99 Stagea with all of the R34 GTR drivetrain (trans, awd setup. subframe, suspension diffs) except the 2.6, and it handles way better than it should!
He is "that gtr owner" at the car shows
chanceificatin I thought I was that flame shooting lambo owner?
its stock and runs hi-cas on its suspension i doubt hes "that guy" that would be the guy with the blitz body kit and a 800 hp build that cant drive it bc hes a hard parker with an entire parts list of "sponsored...or not" parts used. Idk after the tomei build but its his "dream car" much like it is mine...hes going to have like infinite builds in the lifetime of this car if i know anything about how much these people get caught up in the obsession of continuously changing the car, while enjoying it in every form every mod every tune.
Mo is the man his excitement made the review that much better
I'm a simple man: I see a blue R34, I press like button
Same here
Valerio Felice awesome video and really motivates me to finish mine. I just started an R34 GT-R project build on my channel if anyone wants to check it out. Any support is appreciated, cheers!
Was going to make this comment too.
Rado Radovan likes are coming 👌👍
Valerio Felice
7 or 8 years ago i visited Australia
and all i can remember was looking at R34 or R32, R33. 2 doors and 4doors. even saw a shop that fix GTR. made my trip 100% perfect.
I don't think I'll ever not like the R34 GT-R...
Absolutely gorgeous and the sounds are friggin insane.
I feel like I'm playing Gran Turismo 2 when I watch this.
JP & Co. If there was a C4 Vette, then yes for me. But best game ever
Brandon Herrera I couldn't tell you how many hours I spent endurance racing to get every single F1 car. It's always been my favorite racing game.
There's no F1 cars in GT2 tho
David Glazer ah man, that was GT3 wasn't it?
sleepybird09 400R
Videos like this make me happy. The owner just loves his new car. Good for you dude
At first I was like "why is Matt not driving?". Then I realized because right hand drive. 😬
vabeachsux lol
Chris Ostapovitch there's always that one "stupid american" guy lmao fuck out of here
same lol
lmao I felt so dumb when I thought about it
What an entertaining owner - the best one takes are ones like this where the owner is confident, enthusiastic and chatty.
Cant you fucks just be happy for this guy, Its my dream car to. Cant help but make you smile
R34 design and styling is simply timeless. Great piece of machinery!
Everyone's fav car with everyone's fav reviewer!
enuff said
Love the Road America frame on the wall, the best track in the world. Though I might be biased living a mere 20 minutes from it.
Thank you Paul Walker for my GT-R obsession.
Deiondrick Roberts what it got to do with Paul walker , it was way famous before Paul got one .
yuenming qiu I would ignore this because i assume you are trolling but screw it. Many people younger than 30 were introduced to the car scene because of that movie franchise and it grew from there. His personal love off camera for the R34 was well received by many of his fans here in States. The states were never blessed with the GT-R respectfully until the R35.

Many people get there inspiration or spark differently from how you may have got yours , so have some respect from for that troll. Does it even matter? Cars bring people together and that's all that matters.
You are my new hero. Hope you'll get an R34 someday
for me it was gran turismo 1 and the best motoring video series
Except Paul was a Porsche guy..
The R34 has always been my dream car... Most people don't understand... This car is a beauty..... I envy this guy..
its not gonna take a lot of time to hit 1 mil
Mahmood Sadek 1 million what currency?
Mahmood Sadek I love this car, but it isn't some limited edition Ferrari.
6 years it will cost 100k in japan
The Nissan Patrol engine is the TB48DE 4.8 liter straight six like the RB engines but physically bigger I believe, and as Matt said, many Patrols are modified in Dubai. For example, probably the most powerful Nissan Patrol in Dubai at least has 2000 HP and went on to hit 205 mph to speed before the passenger door blew off the car. So yeah it can produce serious power.
Was it a "don't ask, don't tell" on how it's in the states?
Matthew Leach its from Canada
Matthew Leach buy one from out of the country, import the power train and chassis separately; then reassemble the vehicle in the states and register it as a kit car👍
Mine and many other peoples dream cars. This car is so timeless and beautiful. R34 over R35 ANY DAY.
The nismo plate is a bit too much but hnnnnnngggggg I love this car
I'm in love with Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and italian cars in general but a Bay Side Blue R34 Skyline GTR is one of my dream car since I saw it in Gran Turismo.
*The next video will be "A International blue Skyline GTR R34 gets confiscated by the feds and gets crushed by the crusher. Video included"*
wrong
he drove the car into the states
this car is from canada's gray market import rule is 15yrs or older.
completely legal.
miniTV You tube미니 Motorex. Look it up.
lel , someone doesn't know a canadian imported skyline when he sees one. oh , and their a dime a dozen here too. got 15k to spend ? get a gtt r34 , or hell 20k and an r32gtr up here. well r32's are now more like 30k becuase Americans want em all .
Keegan, here in Australia GTT R34's are less than $10,000 AUD. Who even wants one though?
Greatest King wrong, the car is titled in the US. Not a Cad spec vehicle...
What a piece of art. The styling and sound of the r34 will live on forever.
How did he get around the 25 year rule?
Klasse Act Canadian import car, but it's gray area brought in from there.
that's what I heard so take it with grain of salt
Klasse Act in Canada it's 15 years, not 25 years. We can import anything from 2001 and older. Guessing he drove it down from Canada?
Thanks Scotia, I missed the part he was from Canada, too much background noise here, LOL. That 10 year difference really makes a HUGE difference!!
Klasse Act does it ever, opens up so many options!
This one is just a regular GT-R (or as regular as a GT-R gets, I guess), but I think the VSpecs and other higher trims may be eligible under that same loophole they were bringing some of the rarer R32s in before they hit 25. I've also heard rumors that some of the Motorex R34s survived.
Such a gorgeous car and tastefully modded.
Loved this ❤️
Love You ❤
Sarah -n- Tuned hey what’s up
Always a treat to see these beauties. Its another 7 years wait until this are 25 years old. I'll be holding out until then to get one.
"yeah it's stock... with intake, exhaust, a dyno tune and coil overs... this is a stock example"
Probably one of the best episodes.
Lol 1:15 'this one's stock'.... goes on to describe a number of mods.
What a car though!
Two dudes smiling and appreciating an awesome automobile that is what i love about this channel. Happy 420 Matt.
R32's look the best IMO. But an R34 is an R34! Who would ever pass up a chance to drive one!?
Henry Rodriguez i would prefer the Hakosuka over all of the other ones
R34 is the best looking GTR IMO.
Regardless of how it drives compared to the others it is just stunning to look at.
Why, why, why fit low end, harsh, cheap TEIN coilovers to such an awesome car? Suspension makes or breaks a car, especially on the road.
Tein do some good coilovers on a budget, gotta remember these cars were actually pretty cheap 5-10 years ago.
William Mills - your idea of good coilovers and mine must be totally different. I've driven on many types of Tein suspension over the last 15 years, and non has impressed me. All either bouncy or harsh. Matt's first comment was about the suspension, I'm not surprised. This is the normal mindset of most people. Spend money on expensive wheels, carbon parts and uprated power, then spend peanuts on suspension. The suspension makes a huge difference to the 'performance' of the car, as well as making a massive difference in ride quality, and how nice the car is to drive.
He recently imported the car, and most japanese "average" tuners put basic tein coilovers to lower the car ..most of the cars i've seen imported from japan came with tein flex z
but doesn't harder suspension mean more steering feel and better direction change ability
Mahabubul Hoque - yes, a lot do, as they have the same mentality, but also the roads in Japan on the whole are super smooth and excellent quality.
This is why it's a lot of people's dream Car. Just Look at those smiles! Can't wait to get mine in 2024 when I have enough saved up!
"it's completly stock. And it has an intake. And an exhaust. And coilovers." XD
my favorite car in the entire world. such a pleasure to hear it roar
In this episode, Mr. Farah has a cargasm over an R34 GT-R.
Daaamn Matt you smashed it with this one! Great find and props to the owner for taking the risk! Did he make it back ok?? Serweeeeeeet
"This is what a GTR should be. Lightweight..."
No. Stop. Your R34 is only 200lbs lighter than an R35.
3600lbs is not light.
I agree, good thing they're about ~3440. RWD ones are lighter still. That said, they are definitely still "Middleweight" cars
He means the feel of the car. See you are ANOTHER example of so fuckne many stupid internet nerds that WANTS to be cool but just isnt cause his ass is always talking.
R34 feels notoriously lightweight and agile, R35 feels notoriously not these things.
Mitchell McGarvey he's got a carbon fiber hood dude so it's lighter duhhhhhh
Mitchell McGarvey lol
Christmas came early... really, really early. I was hoping you'd do a stock R34 GTR for the One Take videos one day, and I'm so happy that day has come. Nothing compares to an R34 GTR with slight modifications.
You buy an R34 GTR and put in on Tein's? Wow.
Lol
Whats wrong with Teins? I've had three skylines. All on Teins
Yea I like them, at least they're made in Japan.
Roadster's mad he doesn't have a skyline :( Also it was imported with them already on my dude.
He just ruined the handling out of the factory where the engineers sweat over the settings.
I hope these one takes live for a long time. love get the notification in the morning when a new one take comes out. keep em coming.
LOL, its stock but it has coilovers, intake, exhaust, carbon vented hood, after market wheels. etc etc. But its stock!
Matt, as crazy as this sounds the R32 has got the cornering capability so long as the stock suspension setup is properly maintained and the 4 wheel steer is on and functioning you will experience oversteer at the very limit of the tires, which means you don't want modern sport cup 2's with a stock R32. If you can find the right tire that doesn't have too much grip then you'll find that the R32 is highly adjustable at the limit and is not all that different from the R33 which was like 30 seconds faster around the 'ring because it's turbo setup achieved better low end grunt allowing for better power access on such a technical track, but that R32 is excellent for 3rd and 4th gear corners sweeping bends and so on.
If I owned one I'd mess with the turbo's and gearing to provide more similar powerband behavior to the R33 but with the appeal of the R32.
Where can I get those wall track layouts?
Love the Nissan R 34 Skyline GTR! One of my all time favorite iconic cars. Comes next to the La Ferrari. Awesome Video!
If you have to ask, you should have figured it out. I have no idea what he's talking about....
I feel like that is in reference to "how" they are driving on public roads in california with a car not legal for the states
Ooohhhhh
Bar Gym the car and its owner are from Canada and he probably did a bunch of research ahead of time to figure out his exact route to not get in a bunch of trouble.
SAVAGE SOL I missed the Canada part. makes a lot more sense.
if the car is from Canada with Canadian plates you have no problem driving in the States, doubt its from Canada though...
Thank you Matt. Literally the best thing I could have seen this morning
the last r34 u drove was owned by a indian descent fella, now this haha
Lmfao
Always great to see a friendly interaction between Matt and the car owners!
Dis gon be gud
Honestly, all I can say is that the R34 is and has been my dream car for a long, LONG time.
When Matt said "If you have to ask, then you already know the answer", he was referring to the fact that this car is NOT legal in the states. there was an incident several years ago that made not even a dozen of them legal in the states, but as of now it is illegal to import these cars, and if you do and the government finds out, they give you the same sentence as a smuggler, because you smuggled in an R34 GTR.
With time, we will get these cars soon enough!
"just stock with intake and exhaust". And the rest of the parts on the car. Dude. =\
this is the happiest ive seen matt in a one take in a while,needless to say we all know what matt needs to buy next
Hate when an owner tries to outshine their car. Less is more sometimes.
cosign
Geoff for real dude. He keeps trying to put words in Matt's mouth.
Geoff or, yknow, he's just really excited and loves the car...
Dude its a fucking r34... its sooo dank no matter who u are
Why not he's proud asf and he should be
You can tell Farrah is genuinely enjoying the drive. I haven't seen him this happy with a car in a while.
Thats a weird looking Silvia...
4 wheel steering is awesome. If youre looking for something a bit newer, the g37 sedan with 4 wheel steering is a gem.
I like the R34 but I still prefer the R32
JKosloski94 why?
40k cheaper too
GAWDZWAAAA!!! I was living in Japan when these cars came out! such an honor...
Is this the owner or a salesman. Man I mis my gtr 😭😭
Can't believe it was 2 years since you filmed Faizal's R34. Time flies when you're having fun (and driving a zillion cars)
im a simple man...i see a r34...i jizz my pants..
I have never seen Matt enjoying so much in a one take haha. This car is so awesome!
lightweight? nooo. it's heavy
they kept talking over eachother in the begining, gotta love excitement.
