You bet!

lol, Watanabe san was stopping you from spilling the LFA secrets with those revs

I've always adored the way Watanabe san at Rocky Auto rebuilds cars, especially the S30, C10 and C110.

By far the best car content on the net thank you so much Mr. Carbonare!!!!! One Love❤️

Get excited when I see Dino DC pop up first thing in the morning. Car candy for breakfast!

Met Watanabe San in 2010 at a Nostalgic 2 Days show and introduced myself to him and he was very nice and cool and humble. We had some language barriers but he was very interested in the car scene in the states as I was interested in what was going on in Japan. Glad he's still doing his thing and you are showcasing him and look forward to more videos on him and his work.

Absolutely 👍🏻

Rocky Auto has gotta be my favorite shop in Japan.

Thanks for taking us to these amazing places we’ll never be able to get to. I wish these places could keep the cars out of the elements to keep them from further rotting away.

Top notch work. And the operation is even bigger than I thought it was.

this is the type of content we love and sets you apart from the rest. thanks dino-san!

Man. What a shop. And great video too as always mate.

Ancora un altro video stupendo sulla cultura automobilistica jdm.. stupende anche le immagini di copertura e le musiche. Grazie da un 40enne appassionato di auto e moto giapponesi da Sempre ❣💥💯

Wow! This place is a treasure trove. I just got back from Sapporo. Seen a lot of specialty shops and workshops. Must escape the wife (and her shopping) when I visit again. All the best Dino.

I absolutely love the subtle culture aspects of Japan that come through the videography of Dino’s vids. So amazing.

Great tour, he certainly is a “hoarder “ but in a good way.

Firstly thanks for presenting all these years car culture that people love. Absolute treasure. Big thanks again. In all these years watching I've only see NISSAN S12 once you visited in museum. Just... Why is so unpopular. It existed, produced in in big numbers as coupe hatchback as sx or silvia or gazele but never see in car meets you visited or at the shops. Why such phenomenal ?

Yep they are super rare, definitely not built in the same numbers off the generations that came after

Amazing! Thanks for the great content Dino

Almost 10 years ago went to a Rocky Auto dealership in Nagoya, haven't been back since but definitely want to check out the cafe they run now

What an amazing place. If I could, I'd love to move there just to apprentice beside that man.

Great video, that 240RS!! ❤ Keep up the great work, love the style of the video!

Thank you, Dino! Another awesome shop tour! Can’t wait for more. 🙏🤙

I really wanted for him to build my car but I'm scared to find out about the cost...

What a place!!!!!! Dino you are the absolute man!

The guy’s a total badass Wish I could hop over and see him sometime

5:53 - That 2000GT has Prius engine & steering? 14:32 - That 2000GT convertible is BMW Z3 base, that explained all the Z3 donor car. 20:20 - The "LFA" seemingly has 350Z rear wheels & rear brakes, the gauge seems like 350Z item too.

Nice video DC ✌🏻. Very amazing Watanabe-san car collections 👌

Much love for these episodes, You're doing a very great work Dino and the Team!

Exactly what I wish for... to see these old school JDM stock/restored/remod/survivor cars. My kind of heaven.

Thank you for the tour of JDM legends! Rocky Auto is doing a great job in restoring classics! Just subscribed to your channel! Keep up the great works! Looking forward to more great videos! 👍

Thank you, beautiful content! Kamran

Did restoration work at a shop here in the us but god would I kill to get into a place that did mostly old jdm cars

Great video! To top it off, smooth soundtrack 🙂.

Glad to see you back on your punishing release schedule! Lovely editing and drone shots at the start, that's a nice addition.

Great video again, hopefully you'll get material for a few more videos from it, so many interesting cars....!👍

Between there and R31 House I think most of those Autech 32's have been harvested

Japan sure has so many gems! Cheers 👍💪✌

I just spit my coffee out!! The LFA has what in it?!?! Jeeeez, this guy is crazy.

22:51 Look at that place, the scenery.. makes you wanna take anything under that roof and just drive.

Super cool place, thanks for sharing Dino! Also 20:10 is that a real LFA chassis or a different chassis with an LFA conversion? :O

LFA!

This is what many American resto mod “jdm” shops try so hard to replicate with little success. The Japanese lack of ego + rich experience, passion & knowledge of their own history is unmatched

Thanks This The Great Car Channel ! Hello From Finland & I Have a Car Channel too ! #Retired4You

So happy you will be covering rocky 2000gt in depth…I’ve been following this car for a while but I don’t read Japanese 🥲👌💪

I from malaysia.. Nice u video.. Good job.. #SPEEDHUNTER

you should visit r31 house

You must have seen the story I did on it for Speedhunters!

What happens with the rest of the cars? I hope he at least parts them out. And arent these r32s rare and he is slaying the remnants of them?

He just buys the Skylines to rob the running gear out of them for the Datsuns 😅

😮.

Wait, so is that a legit LFA? With VR38 swap?

@dino_dc

12 күн бұрын

Yep

Fair enough you want to take the engine out of the autechs, but letting them rot outside and go into disrepair is so freaking wasteful. Why not strip the engine and what you need, then sell them off or recycle them.? Save space outside and have the engines on a pallet. Am I the only one thinking this way or? I dunno. Rocky auto do amazing work, but man have abit of sympathy.

@dino_dc

12 күн бұрын

Pretty sure that’s what he’s doing. If you see a car there it means it still has the engine in it. He used to have 10 times more of those skylines back in the day

then you go to a meet and realise the mclaren and lambo guys pay less than your "jdm legend"

Wow never been this early, looking forward to it!
