@@bsg2923 As someone who has seen a bunch of S14s up close, and owns an S13, the S15 is hands down the best looking chassis. Also the S13 (hatch) looks better than the S14 ;)
The Japanese culture is so different and inviting just the formal way they do things everyday can be amazing. Thank you Mickey for taking the time and effort to film your trip. Props to Top rank for the extended tours and special effort to make things right I can see why you and others have used them for years to buy cars from overseas
Wow you went with the R34? I kind of had my hopes on the R33 just because I wanted to see your take on it but that R34 is going to be WICKED when it's finished. Thanks for allowing us to come along on your journey. A lot of us lived vicariously through you on the trip. Never forget how lucky you are to be where you are, but don't doubt that we are lucky to have people like you in the industry. Keep at it and all the best on this and future endeavors!
Best video yet. I love the build content but Mickey’s genuine interest and visits to Japanese aftermarket manufacturers was epic. His love for the cars and culture was apparent.
I’m glad you can sense that from the content as we had to cut it down quite a bit to keep the video duration reasonable. Thanks for your comment and support. Means a lot to me.
I appreciate the sentiment but this channel is successful because of the team we have. Without everyone doing what they do well we would be nowhere. Much love brother.
when I visited type1 4 years ago . I never wanted to leave. my honda knowledge is vast and I kept my mouth shut and listened to every word . that building is my holy grail .
I just got myself a 2020 nissan versa sv. i'm a toyota person but i def dropped the gun too fast at the lot and it’s what i ended up leaving the lot with, LOL but I am grateful. This car ended up being so perfect for me. All glory to god! i have videos of my car on my channel too, videos about the process of getting my car, decorating my car etc!
this video could have been 2 hours long and id watch it. I love watching Mickey in Japan, he's like a kid in a sweet shop and brings pure joy to us watchers.
Yep yep shout out to Courtney, Masa and Top Rank. Mick I’m sure I would’ve broke down into tears of joy visiting all those JDM tuning and manufacturing companies. Most of all Courtney videos captured all your raw emotional journeys 👌
I was never a fan of like fixing and building cars because I never had the luxury of my own but I ran into 3 or 4 videos of yours guys that I genuinely liked and now I’m a full time fan love it here! Blessings to you guys!
R33GT is my bucket list car. I remember being in Japan back in 1998 when the R34s just came out. It's crazy to think it's been 20 years. I was stationed in Iwakuni and Mt. Fuji💪
Welcome to the club! I bought mine 6 years ago when it wasn’t astronomical in price. The wait is killer but at least we don’t end up paying over 6 figures !
This was a dream trip for real? I plan to make the trip the JDM motherland and visit honda, nissan, up garage and many other cool spots! Stay blessed my man! Looked like an amazing trip AND your getting THE JDM dream car before it hits the states and prices get stupid crazy! smart move. That will for sure be an investment.
Congrats on your new car to you. Can’t wait to see your rebuild/upgrade this legend of a car. The bone stock S15 would have been my choice but I wouldn’t wait till 2026 either.
man this is the best upload ever!! first looking at those 3 cars at toprank then pulling up at mines man i am about to blow out at that scene then next scene is in HKS facility and spoon, im so jealous of you mickey, im so pumped after watching this vid!!
thanks mickey and whole of throtl team from this video you bring me to the epic car guy tour thats amazing tour video i've ever seen love you guys from indonesia
@@mickeyandrade3435 you both are man. You bring an entire vibe to the car community. You seem super humble and interactive with all of us that see you as a role model.
Wow! Great video! You livin' the dream man! About those three Nissans: yeah, that S15 Silvia would have been nice but... so not worth it waiting for 4 years. But hey that would be motivation for saving the dough for that S15, especially that blue one, such a clean sheet car to play with... great purchase of that R34 though, can't wait for it and the wagon to come to the shop for the guys to play with... The visit to Mines, HKS and Spoon (as well as the Nissan Heritage Center): many of your fans are envious of you visiting such "sacred places", hahaha! Although, I wonder, how in the name of all that's holy (and unholy) were those Mines fellas able to carry up those big Nissan I6 powerplants and trannies up to the second floor on those narrow stairs? Did those guys bring it up in pieces or they have an elevator or what? Because if the bring up via that way, that's a tight fit for four guys and an engine, for example. Anyway, great trip, and stay safe man!
I know exactly what you mean when you're talking about HKS facility in Japan. I work for an international company that is based out of Japan and we have people that wear green hard hats when they come in to visit. They are very very focused on quality but for usual safety is always first safety quality then productivity
I’m opinion , I’m gonna go out on a limb here. If I could afford it I’d buy my car from Too Rank because of their reputation and heritage. Mickey let you viewers know. Top Rank has hella history behind their name 👌 Love the channel Mick and the Throtl team👌
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just came into Harry's and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.
What an epic trip! Can’t wait for the cars to come to the states and you can enjoy them every day. Did the trip stir any ideas for future giveaways??? Hmmmmm. Thanks for sharing.
You're blessed to be able to go to Japan and see the beauty of its land and being able to see all the facilities. Maybe someday soon i'll be able to go as well.
OMG Mickey (and fam), such a great trip. Each place you went just made my heart happier and happier. And seeing the cars from the history of these great companies just made me say wow again and again. Thank you so much as this is probably the closest I’ll get.
In my opinion the R33 is the best lookin model of Skyline. The S15 is awesome. We didn't get the S15 in the UK either, we got a new micra or something.
The shot while lowering the s15 has the perfect moon shot out the bay door.....wow that one shot of the moon from the other side of the 🌎 kinda did something to me.....thank you..
Thanks for the look inside your trip , quite amazing the things you saw . Cars and sights in the country. Very cool trip. Congrats on both cars , can’t wait to see the r34 mods in the future.
That's an awesome trip dude! Can regular people still go to Japan and see/tour these shops, or do you have to be a baller/youtube'r dropping bigggg cash to get in the door?
i must be the only one that wants Mickey to keep the stock front end on the stagea we see so many 34 front clip swaps done ,why not keep the oem front clip, imo it looks pretty sick.
From the beginning i started watching..... I knew ur gonna pick the r34...... Its so cool.... Especially while your having the tour.... Watching the r34 in the front... Looking at it from behind..... Damn..... Wish i can have a chance to even just have a ride in 1...... So cool......
I had to make a choice buy a GTR R33-34 or put a down payment on a house at age 26 and I bought a house instead, now 35 and have rentals. That make money passive. So soon I put money to the side so eventually I'll add it to the garage, next to my LX Honda Civic. One advice is put aside for instant gratification and sacrifice the fun and spending for long term secure future. So you can drive one of these cars debt free and not worry about driving a car with payments. That's financial freedom.
Skyline, rx-7, 350z, Supra There are so much cars than can be modified but y’all choose the same cars in every channel. The viper was sick man follow that direction
See now I’m new to this channel and I’m not gonna lie I’m blown away i mess with this channel fr. Also i thought this vid was old but turns out I’m pretty early nice
The S15 is a beauty, the perfect dream car to work on.
S14s are way, way nicer. 15s are the ugliest of the bunch...
@@bsg2923 that's the dumbest shit I've heard. S15s are the top tier of the S chassis
@@bsg2923 I'm not an S chassis fan, but I disagree, S15 looks the best, and with some bumpers they look fantastic.
@@bsg2923 no shot. S15s definitely has the best body. Its not even close.

Hands down my favourite throtl episodes/ series. Micky is awesome anyway but seeing his passion for JDM cars is inspiring. Such a cool guy

To see the Mine's GTR and the HKS Altezza all in one day!? Man I got goosebumps just watching.
A man of culture I see. 🤌🏼
The stock s15 looked so beautiful 😍. But stands no chance to the R34 🤙🏻
I actually like the R33 a little bit more.

I’m living the dream vicariously 😂
Daaayuum! R34. I know the S15 looks so clean, but man, you can't go wrong with the Skyline GT-R specially the best version of it IMO.
The S15 was my Favorite of the bunch; so fresh and so clean clean.
Super stoked! Thanks for inviting us bro! ✌🏾👍🏾

Out of all the cars man the blue S15 hit the hardest its exteremely unmolested
Dude japan 🇯🇵 looks so freaking clean and organized lots of sick cars
I have a soft spot for 33s, and with that wheels it's absolutely perfec.
These japan vlogs are really bussin!!!

This is the dream, look at all those beautiful cars. And owning a R34?? A dream X10
That's why he doesnt want to front end swap his Stagea. He bought the real deal.
been watching a lot of Dustin Williams Japan videos recently so these videos are a nice addition after watching all of his videos
This was a dream, my eyes literally teared up when you were passing Mt Fuji, so perfect 🥲
One of the best videos that I saw on TH-cam. Congrats

Work hard play harder.
Hard work pays off.
Nice to see your hard work is paying off.
Keep it up.
that s15 is absolutely beautiful. the gtr is cool and all but the sylvia is my favorite. and finding one that clean. no brainer
I've only seen the 'oh f----' Mickey face a couple times in my life, but it's definitely amazing to see Mickey smile like this in the video.

In my opinion the R33 is the best lookin model of Skyline. The S15 is awesome. We didn't get the S15 in the UK either, we got a new micra or something.
You can tell he wants the S15 - I would not be surprised if if hooks a deal to get the S15 to buy and receive at a later date, but get something now
I could not even decide witch one to buy first. They are all dream cars.
He take every place I want to visit in Japan, I am blown away, thanks you.

To roadtrip with such cars. Totally dream come true huh

I think I'd have bought the S15 and spent the next 4 years buying parts for it. It would suck to have to wait but man that car is absolutely flawless!
Probably would’ve done the same thing buying the R34, but man that S15 was cleaaaannn……..
