Looks like the GTR has a ceramic coat on top to create that "wet" or deeper color look. Love seeing this and thanks for covering why Top Secret is so awesome! :)
damn.. seeing the inside of the TOP SECRET garage was magical... something i have wanted to see for 20 years. if i die and wake up there, ill know heaven is real.
When I see a c2 or c3 corvette with a c6 interior I’m not surprised but that r32 with r35 really caught my attention. Much respect to Smokey and everyone at his shop their work is impeccable
Yooo as a proud and passionate owner of a 91 s13 I just wana type this is the kind of channel I been looking for my goal is to one day touge in Japan . You just added more fuel to the fire inside great videos keep it up brotha love from Cali ✊❤️
Sweet tour. I bought a black R32 GTR from Top Secret and had it shipped to the US. I worked with Team Orange’s D1 driver to pick it up, add a greddy boost controller from his car and then hand it over to me at Ebisu track. Afterwards they helped put it on the transport boat and then I enjoyed it in Atlanta. The pictures of it were next to that red vending machine on the side of the shop at the beginning of this video. I also had a Suzuki Cappuccino at the same time so our garage looked like Initial D.
My uncle owns a FIAT Marea which I happen to love so much. I'm literally in love with the car but sadly it's breaking down every single day and it's dying not because it's time is up but because there's really been no shop to revive it. 😔😔
First off, im at 3:16 and i paused the video to go watch the first one. Second thing, i searched about Nagata's story and i don't really think he's a GENIUS. He's just a man with a passion, that left everything to focus on that, more like... obsessed with cars so much that he became good at it, of course with some talent mixed in it. But saying he was a genius is not correct in my opinion since he sacrificed everything, his work, his life and his sleep to cars. His effort and knowledge is much more valuable than anything, that's why he is so famous.
This goes beyond the JDm dream at this point. Buying one of Smokey’s cars!? And getting to know him well enough to have a shot at an interview!!! Idk how many people on earth can say that. Absolutely insane!
Funny thing, years ago I bought my 1JZ Crown at that G-After. Got an amazing deal on it too. I noticed Top Secret was across the street and took some pics, but didn't have the courage to go inside lol.
istg this is a dream, I'm glad you been there and I wish one day I ll get there to,cars are just.. can't explain the feeling but just beeing there the feeling happines everything I feel them well done
LOL the look on Masa face like oh god what did I get into about making videos. and yeah smokey is japans version of Carrol Shelby two outlaws that made top ranked race cars.
Top secret is the bee's knees.. sadly the tech surpassed everything so fast nobody would have imagined it. Was the top secret supra put to rest with a v12?? If so than that goes to show that not a single person was ready for how much you can actually make with forced induction cars. If you've haven't noticed, all the record breaking cars are now twin or big single turbo equipped. Who would have thought 20 years ago that a disco potato in various trims would shave 2-5 seconds off a race et.
Hope Japonic gets the deal! 100% no brainer, since Nissan doesn’t built R35s anymore, semi conductor shortage, CO2 emission regulations and inflation skyrocketing, there is only one way the price will go. I guess we’re talking about approx. 200k USD?! Anyone any clue what such a built would cost?
A new stock gtr is capable of well more than 600hp on stock block. I'm pretty sure everything bottome side is forged and solid deck. I've seen a stock bottom gtr make 1020whp on stock block with valve train. Any jdm car would be an upgrade to a stock usdm car if it even exists over this way

The deal was sealed but sadly it is off now due to Smokey ghosting Japonic and Masa. Such a shame honestly. He said he'll just get a GT3 RS instead
Aw, that sucks.
Yeah, it sucks 😩
Do you know any details on why Smokey ghosted them ?

Just realized something wrong with Nagata san, why he must ask the previous owner.. doesn't make any sense
the fact that smokey keeps his cars clean lets you know about his love for cars
You cant love something and not take care of it,
Also look at Japan's roads vs any American road
Our people, our neighbors, our fellow Americans are disgusting.
You can’t trust a man that doesn’t clean his car. If he doesn’t clean the car and take care of it imagine how he’ll do you smh😔👎🏾
@@toxicity6629 I start by checking finger nails, that usually dictates how clean they are in general, life hack

Mad respect to your friend who just impromptu decided he like the car and then proceeds to buy it on the spot. What a baller.
What car did he buy
you didn't even watch the video.. all click bait
He's rich. It's not respect LOL
He didnt buy it
What a masterpiece from Nagata-san, dude must be so lucky to bring that beast home🔥
Sucks that he couldnt. Nagata san sucks at business and treatment of his customers thats for sure.
@@bkgnkprt totally agree dude
@@bkgnkprt u suck at business
Is nagata san still alive?

Such a huge honor. Smokey is a Legend! I miss Japan every day!
go get 5 vaccines and 10 boosters and you can go back.

Incredible access! Thank you Smoky-San! The Top Secret shop interior dimensions seem like the inspiration for Han’s shop in Tokyo Drift.
it was state my first thought! 😍
I remember when I met Smokey at D1 in LA Irwindale speedway. He was definitely that quiet and cool guy that you say.
Definitely agree with him being a shy guy lol. I met him at the 2019 TAS and it was funny how quiet he was around everyone
8:21 the way a SMOKEY just stood there like you wanna race
Sir your incredible because all over world rolling your masterpiece creations 🇮🇳 👍

So cool, dude, man! For those curious about the Isuzu @ 5:55, Noriyaro's Okutama vid on 9/24/21 @ 10:00 talks a bit about the history.
oh my god I'm such a big fan of smokey, when I saw him in the video I jumped from excitement
Yooo as a proud and passionate owner of a 91 s13 I just wana type this is the kind of channel I been looking for my goal is to one day touge in Japan . You just added more fuel to the fire inside great videos keep it up brotha love from Cali ✊❤️
Smoky is like that car guru everyone respects..
Seeing the pinned comment I have no respect for him.
He's sucks
If you wonder why theres no more GTR's available, thats because they are all at Smokey's garage.
Looking forward to the final results on this one! Thank You for the History Lesson on Smokey and Top Secret

~Edit...Does he have children?
I was looking for this comment, just imagine your conversation being interrupted by Smokey appearing behind you 😂
omfg dude the audio bounces around when wearing headphones/ earbuds, but video is always a 10/10
Love the editing especially the floating text ontop of the car
No way dude, that's so cool!
With the deep clear filtering the car's color according to the shop light and changing while traveling with the available light exposure.😍
this is amazing glad i was her to see the content Albo!
YOOO Allen! that 2+0 300zx at 10:32, you missed the greatest car in there!! ;) I also love that R32 with R35 interior + motor....thats dope
idk abt greatest car in there...
I could listen to Masa talk about cars all day, he knows so much and I like his opinions/perspective when he shows up in videos
the way he acts sometimes is a bit cringe but i agree with you, he has alot of knowledge it seems hehe
@@Oni181 I kinda like the cringe it's charming and authentic, hope to see more of him
Japan a country of beauty and precision smokey is a legend remember watching him when I was little back in early 2000
When click this video didn’t know that Smokey still Alive what a legend never die 💯
Gtr smoky nagata already sold in Malaysia at Tokyo auto Salon....
Sammit: I went to TS
Albo: I went inside TS
Sammit: 😢
lol
Japonic: I bought a GTR at TS 😂
I would pass out if i meet Somkey Nagata

It's wasn't London where smokey did that run in the uk. It was on the a1 between peterborough and huntingdon. I was there when he did it.
Watching from: Philippines 🇵🇭
He did a high speed run in the wet in New Zealand on our Auckland motorway
I remember thinking I was bad ass doing 200 down that section, but then saw he did almost 300...at night in the rain....with a rwd car 🤯 😂

Ok Google Add Top Secret gtr to my wishlist !
I see that all the time on his Instagram, a shame I probably won’t be seeing it anymore but I’m happy for the guy it was sold to
I can say as a uk person that the 194 mph top speed has definitely been topped 😂
Rs6 hit 200mph on a motorway🤣
The rs6 that hit 200mph was literally 5 mins from my house
If smokey stayed in UK more he would beat that record lol
@@grimmerjxcts2206 sure thing
Any more just about hit da NASCAR and NHRA safety requirements check list bro..
😅...going fast...😎fancy
This is the kind of channel i like to watch and it's about jdm cars as well
That GT-R just sold to Malaysian car collector at TokyoAutoSalonKL event 😬
Yaa just sold in malaysia who is lucky to have a gtr produced by the hand of a legend
I thank from my soul for this amazing and yet unbeliebable happyness journey that you gave us. God bless Nagata-san.
JAPONIC IS THERE!!! HE used to be my PE teacher omg I miss him!!!
5:45 that a freaking DATSUN BLUEBIRD THE SQURE HEADLIGHT ONE
This is dope as hell man 🔥💪🏾
It blew me away to see O.Z Racing I have a 05 O.Z lancer so it made me extatic to see it all over his category of cars💪🙏🙏
Wow this is like car cultures Pablo Escobar 😳
THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY VIDEO BRO.. HOW IN THE HELL THIS VIDEO DIDNT REACH 1 MILLION YET?
Hope Japonic gets that gold GTR. It's such a famous car 🔥
I'm not a fan of gold plated or gold wrapped cars but that new top secret gold is gorgeous.😍
Top secret gold is not a brushed type look
And tbh it looks more like a brass

So humble, love the video, keep it up.
That intro alone made me subscribe keep up the great work💪🏻💯
Omg, the colour on that gtr is insane!
If they made a Smokey nagata anime I would go crazy
istg this is a dream, I'm glad you been there and I wish one day I ll get there to,cars are just.. can't explain the feeling but just beeing there the feeling happines everything I feel them well done
Mad respect for turning off the cameras more yts needa be like you fr
Great video Albo! Keep up the great work!! Im stoked for the new merch too (;
I love this page❤❤❤❤❤
That 32 and 35 interior combo is similar to something my dad did back in the day. He had a mk2 golf and put an Audi TT interior in it
That r32 with engine and interior of r35 was a beast car man trust me its a beast
Japonic used to be my PE and IT teacher, he was great and everything but man do I miss him
Loving that r32 with the r35 interior AND engine! Dope shoehorning
Just the editor here, I hope everyone enjoyed ^_^
That gold color is so nice.
I've been trying to get to Top Secret for years... Someday I'll make it on my next trip to Japan.
This whole video is lit Japan and skylines gtr has been my love since I was young god bless u and smokey nagata
Legend has it the pink slip came with ten felony warrants.
Dude that black R35 that masa sat in is ballerrrr
man the new gold is amazing. If I have the chance in the future, i'd love to paint a car that colour
Hope everything went smoothly for Japonic
Oh my; the holy grail r32, I've literally been looking at it on Top Secret's website for so long
LOL the look on Masa face like oh god what did I get into about making videos. and yeah smokey is japans version of Carrol Shelby two outlaws that made top ranked race cars.
Hope you get that interview with Smokey in the near future!
your friend is such a car nerd...love him

I have a TS car as well. Loved this shop since I was a kid. He spell’s his name “Smoky”.

Instant click
Dude that intro is sick!!!🖤
Albo please we need a video fully on top secret - cars, office and a usual rundown.
Finally found the TH-camr I’ve been looking for.
After I saw that introduction I subscribe
I have been a fan of al this JDM stuff since the late 80s....im so glad all this content is available. Salute!!!
Great video! Makes me want to go Japan even more. What kind of bag was Masa wearing
13:15 that transition got me checking my phone.
I subbed from the intro not going to lie. well done!
I was crying while watching this it just so beautiful
The man, the myth, the legend himself.The one and only Smokey Nagata.
Cool vid Albo

What a spectacular thumbnail for it to not actually happen
Smokey nagata is still grinding
Literary first video i see from this channel and just by the intro u gained a sub 👍👍
He doesnt have the record in the uk but he has the “official” record
At least get a model car just to say that you’ve been in that shop… what an opportunity! Nice one Albo 👍 Hope he gets that GTR.
Very nice sir.👍🏼
Thank you for the video
