This was a dream car for me when I graduated high school. This car also really killed whatever excitement there was for the LFA back when it released. If I remember correctly the LFA was expected to release at the same time but that's when they went back to the drawing board for a carbon chassis. The GT-R came out, and the LFA was forgotten about until later on when it was recognized as being slept on.

I can't begin to thank you enough for this.

I bought it with 33,500 miles and I've already racked up just over 1000. This video seriously hit the nail on the head of why I am head over heels in love with this car. It absolutely smashes everything I've ever owned or driven in my life (including some very high end exotics on the track in Vegas).

My god. I love this video. The start is how you talk about boxing fights in Japan, then transitioning to a GT-R, even mentioning David and Goliath as a reference for what this is.

I have seen one or two tributes to this car over the years, but this one is magnificent! Over the years since I bought it in 2009, I slowly took it for granted without realizing it. Driving it but forgetting why somehow. The kids wanting to race me suddenly making me remember what I’m driving. You never want this to happen as a car fanatic your whole life, but life has a way of wearing you down. Thanks for helping me remember why I did it and why I still do it. These days I stay in the upper rev range every chance I get, and I still look for excuses to drive across multiple states. Mine is 620 crank hp and feels as great at 110,000 miles as the day I bought her! It’s like a tank and has rarely had an unknown issue in all these years. I will never part with it. What a car!

@PFYT88 Yep, totally agree, he didn't come into the Holyfield fight with the same do-or-die energy that he had when he dismantled Tyson (losing his mother just weeks before), but it also has to be mentioned that if Tyson had been fighting Douglas with his typical ferocity, Douglas most likely would have been just another notch on the belt (even though at the time, Douglas was ranked 3rd in the heavyweight ranks if memory serves, and fought a brilliant strategic bout against Tyson). Would have been really fun to watch Buster with clear mind and purpose possibly becoming a dominant force in heavyweight boxing of the day because he was talented. Definitely an amazing time in the history of professional boxing.

What a way to open an automotive documentary - that Tyson/Douglas fight was a shock almost beyond comprehension in the boxing world at the time, I still remember seeing it live at a pub and the place nearly erupting into a riot; the bar staff couldn't work out what was going on. That is the perfect emphasis for the GT-R here - that's some writing. Outstanding.

I rarely comment on videos - but this documentary, if I may call it like that, was very awesome. It had drama, history, was well written, super informative, great assembly with video and audio, and a great analogy in the beginning (and also ending with it). Love it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

First video i've ever seen from this channel. I was so impressed i had to subscribe. The production & editing was impeccable, the research to support the story very thorough. It was on par with what's being put out by major TV networks having several times its budget. Surely the channel must have a few million subscribers to its name, right? I was surprised, mildly shocked even, that i had to squint & do a double take. It doesn't even have a million subs. In fact, it's well below half a million, sitting at 302K as of this writing. To me, that's so insane it's almost a crime. I must say that if they keep putting out quality videos like this, that subscription number will steadily go up. It's just inevitable. Thank you for this video & if you'll excuse me, i'll be checking out some of his older ones.

After seeing this, i think it's high time for the next GTR to grace the world

@@UnderTheBarI envy u LoL. I'm all in if the hybrid beats everyone else's ass tbh. I mean the Porsche Spyder is still talked about today and it did that with cutting edge hybrid tech right. But the acura NSX hybrid wasn't the best was it? Sure it had fast laps in some place like the top gear test track but in a vid by best motoring it was beat by the old NSX in touge. Not to mention GTR is already a heavy car and a 4 seater car too. Hy rid tech might make it too heavy since attesa will be there for sure. Goes to show that it's the handling but of that car that makes it so legendary and not just the raw constant torque. I heard recently that Nissan won't release the next GTR unless they can prove it's the fastest car which obviously means its nurburgring time were it has to beat the amg one by Mercedes and idk if that will work out either. As for the ones now.Maybe it's just me but if the GTR could lose 100Kg from what it is now. It can reach the less than 7min mark for sure especially after reading the Wikipedia page on its unofficial times made that didn't reach the record books all of that with 255mm front and 285mm rear wheel tyres makes it an achievement IMO. But they just doing small changes these days right? Makes me fear the worse that they r getting lazy. What do u think as an owner if this beast car?

This documentary is so well structured and the excitement behind the unveiling of each storied segment of the development of this modern day GTR was so beautifully articulated. This is by far one of my most favorite car documentaries ever.

Truly amazing documentary. So very well put together.

The hype the R35 brought to the other GT-Rs when I was growing up was insane. I didn't really care for or about Nissan's history until I saw the TG test for the R35. Really a master stroke from Nissan.

Amazing documentary! This is my first ever car documentary and I was completely blown away! An Awesome car that I always got excited to see on the road but now I have context for just how awesome it really is! Thanks for all the details! Especially about how it was affordable and beat the competition and was inspired by video games and Japanese popular culture! That made it so much sweater for me, that it beat the competition but was affordable and reliable for the everyday buyer but was a super car that pulled no punches! I loved the hit about being able to hold golf clubs and handle blown out tires! Amazing job!

Your documentaries made me appreciate cars, I'd grown up looking at them as chunks of metal but now you've made me excited in purchasing my very first car that I hope to modify and take joy in for years to come.

@@the.squidd absolute legend mate, and thats about the highest honor you can get from someone down under

Hands down the Hardest intro I’ve ever seen. I was ready to pay for this doc in the movie theater!! Take my $$$$ ..

Carlos Ghosn is, or was, probably the most capable and imaginative automotive executive in history, and this GT-R a remarkable achievement by any standard. But for all that, Ghosn ended up having to engineer his own escape from Japan, which reflects poorly on everyone except for him and his team. A real lost opportunity for Nissan. Anyway, this was a fantastic video! I really enjoyed it!

Can’t believe I got chills from watching a free car documentary on KZread. What a time to be alive.

I was asked by my father what 2 cars I would drive if I had my choice, and they had to be the cars I stuck with for the rest of my life. I told him I'd have a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS for the weekends, and a Nissan R35 GT-R. I've loved this car since I first heard of it. And to this day, 16 years later, I still long to get one in my driveway. Squidd, your car documentaries are unparalleled. From your passion and enthusiasm for the vehicles you write about, to the presentation and the information you provide. I get a little depressed after every video I watch because I just want more. But this one was a little more special for me, because you paid tribute to a car that released when I graduated high school, and has been my favorite foreign car since, bar none. I can't wait to see your next creation. And thank you for this video.

@@pLAST3RdISAST3R Nissan and NISMO have a GT-R restoration programme in recent times, from remanufacturing the cars' original parts (small consumables, bumpers and even the RB26 engine block) to restoring a whole Skyline GT-R back to factory-stock condition. So far, I know the R32 is included, but I'm not sure if it has reached the point the R34 is included yet. The restoration costs a bomb and takes a very long time, but having the car feeling as stock as possible again should be good. And yes, I'd love to drive a Bayside Blue Skyline GT-R R34.
