  • 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.

      @slim_gs3005 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rebuilt it with him since he was the creator of them. That would be great and then Sam might have him get back into design new stuff just for Sam's 33.4

      @Nelsea7190 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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.

  • @mewsikjunkie
    @mewsikjunkie ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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

    • @JiriMachovec

    This video gives me “midnight wangan” vibes, I love it. This is a great way for you to see how iconic your 33.4 and even the license plates, please keep it as it is. You can always get another R33 after you get the 34. Loving the energy of the last couple of videos. Super excited for you guys in becoming parents, just keep enjoying life and keep the good times coming 🎉🎉🎉🇯🇲

    Please keep the r33.4 the way it is, it's the car that started it all as a 33.4 it would be a shame to change it from it's original likeness, it's how I found your channel back in the day and it has so much history, yes the s15s get more attention but the 33.4 is your hero car!!

    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?

    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
