@@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.
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!
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 .
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.
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💪
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!
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
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 👌
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!!
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 !
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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......
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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👌
guarenteed, with throttles reputation, you could have swapped the recaros for a clean set of r34 oem chairs from another r34 there, they only had about 12 of the cars in stock.
Hey guys, I was about to order the T-shirt with the 2JZ on the back, and the black hoodie with red "Throtl" and some Asian symbols, (as well as the orange hoodie. maybe more.) I had saved the web pages in my favorites to place my order later // that is now. Except that suddenly there no more Throtl clothes on your site... I was wondering if the products will be back in stock? My regards from France ! Stay the course
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.
@@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 ;)
Dude! I’m so happy for you! Congrats! Can’t wait to see a Mickey spec R34.🍾👍🏼

The S15 was my Favorite of the bunch; so fresh and so clean clean.
The stock s15 looked so beautiful 😍. But stands no chance to the R34 🤙🏻
I actually like the R33 a little bit more.

CALLED IT!! I knew he was gonna end up with an R34. Too iconic.

Congratulations sir. I am a big fan of throtl you guys are so solid. From Philippines!

Mines, HKS, and Spoon, and the heritage museum. So sick!
To roadtrip with such cars. Totally dream come true huh
I remember that HKS Altezzs pin up poster in Super Street way back in highschool 😮
I could not even decide witch one to buy first. They are all dream cars.
That's why he doesnt want to front end swap his Stagea. He bought the real deal.

Wow! You and Courtney had an awesome trip (and glad you “took us along”).
We did! You’re welcome.
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've always wanted a Stagea those nismo ones are awesome
trip of a life time, so happy for you, you must be giddy !!
scammer !!
yall guys should take the mongoose to street car takeover and maybe any other racing event. plus take the fast and furious eclipse too.
get that s15. its so clean! and you can just visit and drive touge all over japan like DUT. And mod it there in japan
Livin my dream Always wanted to go to Japan and check out the car culture.❤
