Well we've got successors for the R34 and RX-7 in the GTR and RX-8, and it's rumored that Toyota is making a Supra successor. Tough luck for the S15 though. It's a beautiful car.
shakybones007 Let's not forget about the 350z/370z. I mean sure the R35 and LFA are fast, but those are considered super cars. These were just middle class sports cars with lots of potential.
It's called heel and toe downshifting. They use their right foot to press the brake pedal and blip the gas pedal to give the engine some revs while it downshifts so the engine is spinning as fast as it would be in the lower gear, so they don't lose any speed by forcing the engine to engine-brake like when you downshift normally.
The FD is still running the stock twin turbo's lol... 350HP is a good tune for the standard turbo's and engine (non ported etc..) I'll be happy to get that sort of power out of mine.
The GT-R is a great tuner machine, however; it's not king of the touge. It will still spank cars, but the RX-7 will spank it in the corners and very tight narrow turns. That NSX will also give a GT-R a run for its money with it's great balance. The designer and engineers had different goals in mind than with the GT-R than Honda and Mazda. GT-R is supposed to be a powerful fast machine that's heavy giving it a well planted feel with good corner exit speed. It just comes up short in entrance.
Yes it was. Remember...EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE IN JAPAN. What might be $2000 in body work here(the U.S.A), is around 5000 over there...and vehicle damage piles up lol. But yeah. I'm chilled brah lol
I would say the RX7 is the best car there, lightweight balanced and poised chassis with the perfect engine combo. Got to be one of the best FR cars ever made... Then the S15 also light weight, good engine, The S chassis is so good when it's setup right, With more appropriate tire width and abs it would of been a monster...
+Christopher Mohamed No this is just a H pattern transmission, its just the way that Keichi changes gear.Sequential doesn't use H pattern only forwards and backwards, it automatically cuts the engine when you change gear and pushes the throttle on downshifts to eliminate heel toe technique.
+Alexand21 Have another look, he is definitely not H-shifting but moving the lever forwards and backwards just as you brought out. If you don't believe that, then look, he is not using the clutch pedal for shifts but letting go the throttle instead (which might indicate that this gearbox does not have ignition cut-off).
@iloveheavymetal1 sent you a link to another youtube vid: except for the body kit there are only a few mods internally resulting in 350 hp from the rx 7. the mcr r34 has more mods + awd and pushing 550 hp. you can find the stats on both the cars at the time of battle through hot version international. even with keiichi tsuchiya behind the wheel of the gtr, it still loses to the rx7. underpowered rx7 vs 550hp gtr + jgtc champ/drift king - kinda hard to argue results after seeing that vid
It's called flutter or in Australia a slang term is 'dose'. It's when you have no blow off valve and the remaining pressurized air goes back through the turbo when the throttle is snapped shut. I don't run a blow off valve on my s15 so it sounds similar :)
did the GTRs brakes fade? He tried to brake on the first corner of the last lap and it seemed like the brakes didn't exactly slow down the car like it should...
respect for the rx7 . only 350hp . the other cars have 500+ ..
+Leonard Kurki Just think if it had a better racing setup or even a 3rd rotor!
It’s not about power. It’s about balance!
in this case. it was about power and balance.
red88alert i agree
This track is small, even if there is a car with 800hp but doesn't have a excellent controlability, it won't win over these cars
4 cars that we need back
Well we've got successors for the R34 and RX-7 in the GTR and RX-8, and it's rumored that Toyota is making a Supra successor. Tough luck for the S15 though. It's a beautiful car.
no i mean we need these exact cars back
I've got an S15 so im happy :)
sharms888 I hope you don't live in the U.S. or else that car will go bye-bye
Why what do you mean
Car went out of production but I think they are as popular as ever now
funny how that happened huh. classic jdm are the best cars ever imo
Lol, they are probably more popular than recent made car.
is it just me or is watching them drive is pure ecstatic?
And that's what tuned race cars are for - track racing, not that dumb street accelerating.
Ksensei41 well you have to kinds of guys.. People fighting on the autobahn and the crazy guys on the backroads
Damn Kawasaki pulled a Shingo on poor keiichi
R00ZBAY86 *Shinigami technique*
KANSEI DORIFTO
*[ N A S T Y S I D E O P R E S S O ]*
Lets face it with perhaps the exception of the R35, ALL 4 of them are way better than ANYTHING Japan is making now.
LF-A?
trvsball
Ah forgot the LFA, Certainly the LFA is an exception.
shakybones007 Let's not forget about the 350z/370z. I mean sure the R35 and LFA are fast, but those are considered super cars. These were just middle class sports cars with lots of potential.
Compared to a RX7, S15, R34 and a Supra a 350z and 370z is in a class below. The Hairdresser class.
shakybones007 How do you figure? It comes with the same HP or more stock. It has great handling. Tons of potential.
"Some folks are wondering if the spirit of Japanese supersports cars is going to fade.." 😭😭😭
that s15 is so sexy
I agree on that. But it shows just how good that FD is. Holding position for so long just with it's cornering performance is truly impressive.
The GTR turbos tho 😍
The s15s gearbox tho 😢
Yeh i think the sequential made the S15 faster...
Best all round engine gearbox Chassis Performance S15 ALL DAY EVERYDAY
I have watched this race 100 times and it still gets me pumped!!!!!
That BOV on that Supra is sick and that S15 with that sequential trans.
I wish I was called Kawasaki
i wish i was called supra
+Julius Reed even if you are the worst driver, and everyone calls you a p**k?
the s15 greatly impressed me
S15 so impressed me by speed
Jdm legends
even though they been out of production they're still so many left just sitting in japan. damn you american customs!
We get them all in Australia
Antifaith29 Hate you guys XD
As of 2015 you can legally import R32s and S13s. The time of the American Skyline and Silvia are upon us!
@@pokemaster123ism well in it's 19 and I've seen a few R34s
2002, the end of an era...
Tsuchiya Is Just Too Beast...
I feel the fd was slightly underpowered. If it had 450 to 500 hp the FD would have been able to fight in the straights or possibly won.
+Jetstream7271 would have fight in the straights and would have killed them all in corners, just like it was doing it.
bobagopaaa rofl.
bobagopaaa are u stupid ?😂
Bobagobaa are u stupid? haha
@@jiunnweipoon7686 imagine the lag it would have at 550
When Keiichi says "a prick who brought 600ps of GTR(34)" i already figured out which idiot it is LOL
I mean lets be honest, the S15 had it
Its rx 7
these are the best tuner japanese super cars a collector can have.
the golden age of japanese sports cars
It's called heel and toe downshifting.

''At least we know you can't beat me straight up.''
''I didn't know there were any rules.''
Nissan needs to bring back the Silvia!!!
Good aggressive driving. Shame about the hit.
he sounds like the same commentator for Iron Chef
he used the technique I always use in gran turismo in the end LOL
That supra sounds like it's giggling lol
Silvia s15😍😍
Fd3s FTW
Agreed
4:40 That shifting was pure jizz!!
Can I ask something, why he doesn't lift his left foot while shifting or am I missing something?
they said it has a GT spec trans. im guessing its like a DogBox trans or w/e they use in rally cars.
Its tsuchia's ultra lightening fast shifts. It can only be seen in slow mo
this race makes me wanna cry...
They are all gorgeous and special in their own way - I've owned all of them!
lucky youu :D
Avinash Rawoteea late question
which do you think is the most fun?
Avinash Rawoteea post videos or it didn't happen
In Need for Speed or Gran Turismo?
we need cars like these 4 back
@44Swager They WERE scared because the rx-7's rotary engine uses power so well. Smooth like marmalade.
The FD is still running the stock twin turbo's lol... 350HP is a good tune for the standard turbo's and engine (non ported etc..) I'll be happy to get that sort of power out of mine.
Tsuchiya is such a fuckin' hardass. "You know some douchbag brought a AWD, 600hp car to this battle" hahaha.
The GT-R is a great tuner machine, however; it's not king of the touge. It will still spank cars, but the RX-7 will spank it in the corners and very tight narrow turns. That NSX will also give a GT-R a run for its money with it's great balance. The designer and engineers had different goals in mind than with the GT-R than Honda and Mazda. GT-R is supposed to be a powerful fast machine that's heavy giving it a well planted feel with good corner exit speed. It just comes up short in entrance.
Very good driver Tsuchiya...! :) love it... very poor GTR kawasaki emotional driving....
dont forget the NSX!
I like FD3S^^
i like them all because they all redefined the tuning world annnd they all have different characteristics. that make them ALL attractive
Yes it was.
Remember...EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE IN JAPAN. What might be $2000 in body work here(the U.S.A), is around 5000 over there...and vehicle damage piles up lol. But yeah. I'm chilled brah lol
GT-R confidence so much in his ABS and couldnt stop at the right time !!!
oh man what a shame, you could see he was coming in way too hot with that heavy skyline... good race though :) SR powa
I would say the RX7 is the best car there, lightweight balanced and poised chassis with the perfect engine combo. Got to be one of the best FR cars ever made...
Then the S15 also light weight, good engine, The S chassis is so good when it's setup right, With more appropriate tire width and abs it would of been a monster...
S15
Great machines!!
@44Swager
all personally owned cars, they worked with what they had - it was a battle between friends =)
All these cars are great. I want to have them all !!
best drivers best cars
They reduced the BHP of the FD3S so everyone has an equal chance :P
Love how the s15 just luched when he got spun out
2:34 check out what they are doing in the back... hahaha love these guys!
SR20 FTW :))
Savo GTR33 isnt it a sr22?
ahaha that's hilarious Kawasaki's GTR "I'm Coming" BUMP! Tsuchiya S15 "what a Prick!".
Fuckings low this era. The Supra, RX-7 FD and R34. What a great machines. Which I had all of them. Seriously.
Rx7 ♥♥♥♥♥
Rx7 killed considering it's way underpowered than all the others, killer on those corners just not the straight aways. :p
Rotary ftw!
This is Need For Speed)))
@Keiichitsuchiya6 the silvia is using a sequential gearbox. no need to use the clutch... that explains it... if you're not sarcastic though. lol
It always works in gran turismo lol
Tsuchiya so had this!!! what a great race.
Could I use a clip from this in my Skyline review? Thanks!
I would take any of these 4. They all good.
hmm, no they removed the abs. a common mod to save weight. all s15s came with abs as standard.
When I heard the GTR and S15 hit each other i was like OHH SHIIIIT!!! but then the other two didn't hit them and im like HAHA HOORAY!
I used to watch this video when i was a kid
I'd like any of these cars. For real.
Respect the supraa!!!! Monster
Was the S15 manual transmission? It looks like it might be sequential.
Christopher Mohamed I think you're right
Christopher Mohamed yep sequential
+Christopher Mohamed No this is just a H pattern transmission, its just the way that Keichi changes gear.Sequential doesn't use H pattern only forwards and backwards, it automatically cuts the engine when you change gear and pushes the throttle on downshifts to eliminate heel toe technique.

^ Thanks for noticing, Mark
That intro music got me
What is this from? A DVD?
Well, you know what they say, sometimes to win a race all you gotta do is outlast the competition, GO SUPRA! ;)
@iloveheavymetal1 sent you a link to another youtube vid: except for the body kit there are only a few mods internally resulting in 350 hp from the rx 7. the mcr r34 has more mods + awd and pushing 550 hp. you can find the stats on both the cars at the time of battle through hot version international. even with keiichi tsuchiya behind the wheel of the gtr, it still loses to the rx7. underpowered rx7 vs 550hp gtr + jgtc champ/drift king - kinda hard to argue results after seeing that vid
Silvia fans?
if a Honda NSX jump in, it would be great :)
lol perfect end he was like screw this hits the silvia s15 XD
R.I.P Drift King.
@510musicmaker looks like harlequin, i think thats what its called
which episode is the re-race of this where all cars had around same hp.
forgot about all 4... if i had 1 of these life will be complete
That Supra blow off valve lol
It's got no blow off..
***** waste gate what ever.
Not the gate either :)
***** whats the term
It's called flutter or in Australia a slang term is 'dose'. It's when you have no blow off valve and the remaining pressurized air goes back through the turbo when the throttle is snapped shut. I don't run a blow off valve on my s15 so it sounds similar :)
@AtzengamerMemphis its just the way you said it, like you was suprised the S15 beat the FD. but yh i agree man .
Supra
very good race hey...
All my fav cars rx7 supra and silvia s15 ah
did the GTRs brakes fade? He tried to brake on the first corner of the last lap and it seemed like the brakes didn't exactly slow down the car like it should...
Where can I find the whole video? I know this one is about an hour long.
In my opiniom the crashe's fault was od Tsuchiya because he didnt saw the Kawasaki coming so he closed. But after all, this guys are amazing.
i think the supra did great considering it only had suspension brakes and only a bigger turbo :)
haha keiichi was funny XD
@AtzengamerMemphis well it was Tsuchiya driving. Keiichi 'Dorikin' Tsuchiya (drift king)
These are awesome, but the cars are so tuned up it doesn't really say anything about the stock versions of the cars...
dat butterfly valve on the supra haha
Hahaha Fun race :D Love the GTR even the driver not doing well...and second favorite is Supra ! :D and Nice car for S15 and FD :D
Goddamn that Tomei RB26 is a $30,000 engine...ahhh if only...
