The Untold Story of a Nissan Skyline shop from early 2000s in Japan

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We visit a Japanese aero shop called Meiku. They were responsible for the very first R33.4 Nissan Skyline and they are the perfect shop to help bring back my own Skyline.

    Damn my mind is blown. Dude using the reverse camera to be able to see oncoming traffic. That is absolutely clutch. And I think Sam found his GTR version of Okachan.

    As much as I agree with putting the 33 front end back on I think you should leave the 34 front end on, especially after its getting recognition from people like the creator of the kit itself, you should put a Meiku sticker on it too. Keep an eye out for another 33 and keep this one with the 34 front end, it is unique, I can tell Mei wants you to keep it too.

    ditch the stock 34 front bumper. if you can get a Meiku 34 front then do it. i like the 33 better but recognition from him does deserve to honor his legacy/contribution to the car's design.

    I really wanted you to go back to the 33 front. Because 33 is my favorite one. But after him saying he wanted to meet you bc you had a 33.4 and the coincidental matching number plate, you should keep it the way it is in my opinion. I think it's very neat yall got to meet and I can tell it was genuinely a special moment

    Them gtr books) magazines were around a hundred dollars each when we used to get them from Japan back in the day. Fast fours and Rotary's magazine and zoom were around six dollars each to put into perspective.. Everything is in Japanese but we could get the information we needed still from them. We used them as a guide in the early days to modify the gtr 32s in Australia between the mid 90s and early 2000s Issue 1 was a grail from day one. They didn't make many copys. I've never actually seen one until now

    Keep it 33.4 and do another 33 at some point, the 33.4 is rad and the nostalgia having the same plate as the OG was meant to be. Long time fan and owner of many SR’s over the years. (one tuned in the late 90’s by Option UK which I believe was owned by the son of the owner of Option magazine in Japan, maybe you can verify that somehow?) are there any Do-Luck Double Six wheels still available in Japan?
