$380k Mine's R32 GT-R: The Modern-Day Interpretation of the Godzilla
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Built By Legends partnered with the legendary company Mine's to create this beauty. Torn down to the bare chassis and built to what it is now, this thing is otherworldly when it comes to perfection.

I just put up four prints from Pikes Peak on my store. Two of Ken Block, two of Rod Millen's Tacoma larrychenprints.com/
When the answer to "what's your budget" is "yes" you get this immaculate gem of a car. Love the whole idea of built by legends and look forward to seeing more of their work! (Also wish i had the money for one of these lol)

Quite impressive for their first build, doesn't go too extreme and retains the look and feel of a 90s JDM car. Also love all the small details that you don't quite notice at first like the carbon bumper and lip actually being one piece and the logo integrated in the seat fabric. Looking forward to seeing how they develop with more builds in the future 👍.

Refreshing to hear an R32 build that is staying true to the essence of what made the car so great and not shooting for unusable HP numbers. Please share more of these perfect executions!
Thank you Larry for an awesome video and beautiful photographs. In the video we said the wrong parts were on the car. Apologies for the mistake. Here are the corrections. ★correction★ - Suspension system is Ohlins. - Brakes are F Brembo F50 with 355mm RDD rotors, R Brembo F360 with 343mm RDD rotors.

Masa’s voice is legend. As you stated, I used go the DVD store and buy the latest version of BMI/ Hot Version. He was very detailed in the translation I can see that same dedication in this R32. The scene you mentioned in which the Tsuchiya drives the R34, is in the “six straight shoot out” Amuse A80 vs Mines R34

That R31 where the tuner made her own intake manifold by hand from a block of aluminum was impressive also, lots of good cars in that one, I still have it in my collection!
Thanks for what you do Larry, it’s so good to be able to nerd out to this content with someone that appreciates it as much as you do. And seeing it through your lens is that much better
Nice seeing my car at 22:24 haha, the black 32 in the middle, I never realized I parked next to such a special vehicle until seeing this video!
Great content! Love builds like this. The R32 is a legend in race car history here in Australia. It eat up the V8 super cars.
This car is pure gold, the extensive build when the chassis was bar is all the details most will never know. Then the motor and interior kept blowing me away. Mines Legend 🙏 BUT-stop talking and have some in car shots. Gear shifts, maybe a RPM camera and some beautiful speed and apexes shots. Even a lap of quiet RB engine “sound”. Here ing the soul of these is half the experience. Many thanks guys 👊🏻
this man has a great point Larry when he says that everyone has thier own opinion of what ... we also see this in every "hotrod" show you or anyone else ever covered.....
5:07 To admit this is testament to the vision as well as the awareness of their own limitations. It's refreshing to see.
Thank you for this. Been a fan of the Mines philosophy since the early 2000s (same best motoring video). It's awesome to see other enthusiasts that stay true to their concept for street cars. Would love to see more manufacturer cars from the 90s built to this caliber, not over the top or built for a singular purpose (especially stateside)
Epic... Yóu were scaring the bgeezus out of Di 😂😂😂
I really hope to experience these cars before my time is over. I grew up obsessed with Nissans and watching option drift videos. My first three cars were S13’s but I would love an R32, and an S15. The dreams of my childhood and even into adulthood.
I Love Every Video You Post Larry Thank You So Much For Everything You Do Larry Chen
Love this whole idea! I rebuilt an 89 firebird formula and a 98 cobra but always had this idea in mind.
These Built By Legends guys need to get with Amemiya-san and do an RX-7 pronto. That dude's gonna retire soon.

Great video as always Larry!! Hope to see this out on a track soon, it makes me sad seeing it in our garage all day,lol
freakin rad car. As always, thank you sir! So cool, and how lucky you are to be allowed to drive it (lucky is 100% the wrong word; obviously the result of years of hard work) :::I can only imagine, every time you compared it to your stock car, dude's thinking, "yes, but again, this is a $400,000 example..."
Mine’s is such a legendary company we need more of their cars featured
I drove a Mines R33 GT-R many years ago, looked stock, but went like hell, they build an amazing street car
Heard that chill music and saw a beautiful r32 . Nothing is going to stop me from clicking and watching
This R32 is basically my dream R32 I love the content :)

This type of build is exactly why I’d try to build myself, any type of build, this level of quality
Immaculate restoration work 👏
Kudos to Larry for remembering the video of Keiichi Tsuchiya driving Mines R34. I saw it like 10 years ago and once I see "Mines" logo I totally remember the fragment of video where you can see the tacho and how RPM just jumping from 4000 to 6000 to 9000, not "moving", but JUMPING, epic moment! "It is something else" (c)
Great video, the passenger keep remanding Larry to be careful, Larry Smile and keep having fun!! that's the way!!!!
Everyone who says its not worth the price. Don't understand basic economics. It's supply/demand. Hence why nismo is charging almost a half a million dollars. You cannot get a brand new BNR32 gtr brand new in 2022. So guess what if you want to have a brand new bnr32 gtr in 2022 that is the price. Since no one else does full restoration of an vintage 90s car they can choose the price. Same thing with if you have something that no one else has you can set the price. Mine's is a legendary shop. If you know you know. Instead of bitching and complaining its not worth it etc. How about you just enjoy and brace something that is legendary and probably not many will be made.
sublime, The sound is gorgeous. Mines are the Gods of Godzillas, Nothing comes close
Oh my!! This is so stinkin cool! Used to drive by Mine’s a lot when I lived in Yokohama. I have friend who lives in Miura. Oh, what is the outro music for your videos??
6:55 - Battle of the Straight 6's (Amuse vs MINE's) "It's so fast that even a dead man will scream!"
unreal car wow sooo much amazing detail and perfection
Currently got a big RB engine build at mines - those guys are awesome - big shout out to Aki & Dino @ speedhunters for helping
the R32 is so subtle and understated, that's what makes it so appealing to me.
I wish I could be an apprentice at mines.
That is the exactly the right ride height and the rim size for that 32 👌
Ugh! What a shape... reminds me of starting off gran turismo 2. Memories...
work of art.
I've been JDM fanatic since a teenager playing GT2 & watching VHS tapes from Japan in the late to early 2000's. My favorite GT-R is the R32 hands down, the og Godzilla. Now, this car is INCREDIBLE....Having said that, I'm going to get some heat for this comment BUT... I feel Singer-level is a higher level than the treatment this GT-R received. This is not a "re-imagined" R32 GT-R, just improved to perfection (many of the parts are off-the-shelf i.e wheels, brakes, suspension, etc). Honestly, The Singer cars are Porsche's re-imagined and unlimited potential custom built from the ground up.
What a fantastic car !!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
So sweet, and shiny!!!
Awesome feature, love this R32. I recently featured a build with a Toohey 1000 inspired livery at an event I covered. A really clean build that just looked right, simple and tastefully done. Just like the one you featured, simple and slightly modernized while maintaining the original feel is the best way do build these cars.
Great review Larry! - Taro
Wow wow wow 😯 just amazing
So perfect. R32 is the best looking GTR in my opinion.
I’m 37 and I still can’t afford it 😩
Just perfect
so sick
It’s a work of art
Should’ve seen the title, got suckered by the thumbnail. Got all the way to dog, which has great taste by the way, to get crushed when I heard the price. But geez louise what a car.
These types of restorations, like Singer's, are my favorite. They leave the original essence untouched, but augment the rest to modern times without deviating from what made the cars special. 🫶
I'm into the straight 6 turbo cars. I drive a BMW M2. Anyway the R32 is a high-water mark. A guy two houses down the block from me, has a R32 in a really cool red livery. It looks boss. At some point I'm gonna go and talk to him.
Cars we couldn't afford when we were younger... and even harder to afford now lol... i want one so bad
That setup is mean !
god dam brilliant car love it
I like how he mentioned Cosmo, hopefully a few of those get the restomod treatment.🔺️🔻🔺️

The mines 34 was one of the most responsive and impressive cars I've ever seen.....this thing is just as pretty!!!
Larry says they are building these for the people who couldn't afford them when they were young. Yeh $380k is so affordable nowadays, I might have to buy two of these now I am grown up with all this disposable income. Excuse me while I go flush some more of my money down the toilet because I have so much I don't know what to do with it. $380k for a restored R32 that looks like they spent most of the build budget on pointless custom plaques, badges and stickers. Nice car but they need to calm down. *Literally drives the car 10 feet then stops from 5 miles an hour* "wow it is so easy to get going..... even the brakes are so good" like wow a $380k car has a working clutch and brakes capable of slowing it down from walking pace.

@@johnnygee_1991 did I claim to have done so? Also who is daily driving a $380k R32? And what exactly about the mods or anything in the video suggests it’s more comfortable to daily drive? It appears to have coil overs and larger wheels with smaller profile tyres. How exactly does that make it more comfortable?

@@TheRZBM hmm let's see: 2.8 instead of 2.6 for more usable power down low, turbos that are not overly big, no bucket seats but instead reupholstered stock ones, NISMO twin plate that feels like a stock clutch but with a little more bite all completed by 2 of Japan's legendary GT-R shops. All those corelate into a car that can perform with modern day cars and still be usable everyday for the average driver. Also plenty of people drive expensive cars everyday. Cars are meant to be driven and true car enthusiasts wanna do the driving, not keep it garaged up. Hey if you like that sort of thing, more power to you. But johnny makes a lot of good points that you're missing.
Dream car.
Tommy's engine bays look like fine jewelry like a swiss watch or something lol
Man they have to do a RE FD3S RX7 BBL car!
I hope theres more rs day content
I was going to comment that they did what singer does but with a r32 gtr but then you mentioned it lol
Does anybody know what alloys are on the R34 @2:27? They’ve been my favourite split design ever since I first saw them but I don’t actually know what they are. (I) love that colour/finish against the white paint, as well.

MINE's BBS RE-mg Forged Magnesium wheels. Very rare. Used to be the MINE's standard until they started using RAYS wheels.
what gearbox is in it? i think i missed it in the video...
Just came across this vid. I have no clue about this genre. But $380k for a car that looks like an early 90 version of some Japanese car is simply insane. For that money I would buy Berkshire stock, wait and retire 10 years early.
What a feat of engineering
The Singer concept can be used for any car. A first-gen Miata? Singer it. S2000? Singer it. ‘63 Corvette? Singer it. Model T? Civic? NSX? New Challenger? Classic Mini? MGB? SINGER THAT SHIT.
So it's basically a @tommyfyeah spec build for $380k
I would rather finance one of these over any new car right now
just be in the presence of that car must be something 🤤
USD$380k and they can't get the hood and fender to line up

The seats look tacky and the BBL logo looks too similar to the Bentley logo. The wheels aren't doing it for me. The bay is spot on but the rest of the car doesn't flow to me.

Well I'm sure you can spec a commission to your liking but this is their prototype. The TE037 wheels may not "look good" to most people but they're supposed to be stronger and lighter than TE37's.
although this car is old, but still handsome
for the price you're surpassing current 911 gt3 prices. I refuse I love JDM cars but dang
What is the first song🎵🎵🎵
Larry is not shy. Puts his foot in from the get go - Gotta love that.
this is the car
bnr32 is the best gtr in my opinion. pure and simple
I want to see a @TommyFYeah spec GtR featured!
Cool car, I just don’t see how this is worth $380k when The 1/12 V specs are worth under 300k and the 1/4 HKS r32 sold for 400k. This might be a cool build, but it’s priced as if I could sell my skyline for more than a GTR just cause I’m pushing more power than it. But that just ain’t how it works.
How much would this cost? Any other JDM cars on the list?
😎💯👍
Do a video on the Prodrive P25 STI resto-mod.
Where can I buy that hood?
Soooooooo want one...🤤🤤🤤
1st off where are you getting this $380k number?
Clean restomod, but interior could use some more colors. Like on the alcantara stitch or seatbelt.
Everytime I hear that name I hear the seagulls from 'finding Nemo!!!' Mine Mine Mine.....Mine!!!!
I love the evolution of resto-mod builders... Fot me I'd rather a mint 240Z but an R32 would be a near run 2nd.
not 100% sold on the wheels
