@@cj09beira Do you remember that R34 was viewed that way but was slower and heavier than R33 at the same time? R35 was a giant leap and even today when tuned it destroys a lot of competition even in official races
I can't begin to thank you enough for this. I literally teared up with joy watching this. 1 Month and 13 days ago, after nearly 15 years of grinding away I finally realized my dream of owning my own GT-R in my dream spec. 2009 Gun Metallic. I bought it with 33,500 miles and I've already racked up just over 1000. This video seriously hit the nail on the head of why I am head over heels in love with this car. It absolutely smashes everything I've ever owned or driven in my life (including some very high end exotics on the track in Vegas). Thank you for the time, effort, and dedication you poured into this video. It's perfection.
@@yboy898 If I get to the point where I can add an R32 to the garage as well to supplement the R35, I might just stop looking at classifieds and auctions altogether. lol Good luck to you! There's plenty of good one's out there that don't need to cost an arm and a leg. 👍
It started with 20mins long videos. Now gone up to around 40 mins long. But one thing doesn't change is the awesomeness of the way the storyline is being told. Simply one of the best words being chosen and most apt background scores. Just perfect in all sorts. Hats off buddy.. keep up this fantastic work..
I started thinking this around the 15 minute mark. I paused and looked to see how far I was into the video....I saw 40 minutes and actually chuckled. His narration and connection of the events through the timeline of a car is mesmerizing.
Now talk about inspiration. This guy never leaves us wondering why we watched it. You literally make us proud for the time we've spent watchign the entire video. No matter how long it looks, these 41mins and 29 secs are truly to be proud, and to leave a tear in the true JDM car enthusiasts. The video speaks emosions itself. We love u man. Keep up the good work. Mega job by the team
@@the.squidd You sir are a legend in the making. Cemented in now like no other who can masterfully link documentary and story telling. You are unmatch. The emotion you layer in just puts the whole world aside for all 41:29mins. Clever on so many layers. One needs to prep their environment before entering your story. You soon, will deserve one of your own videos about yourself! I live for your storys and pitty all others. I thank you for the joy it gives when that notification pops up. Please stay in our lifes....
Much love and affection was poured into this and I felt it tough the screen. Nobody else, not even Nissan has described and teached the story of this incredible underrated car better, than you. chapo! 👏
I remember reading the rumors of a new GT-R, seeing pics of the camouflaged version on Nurburgring, and reading all the news after it was announced in 2007. 18-year-old me could still only dream of affording it. I never knew all the little details and the stories of the people behind it and that just makes me want to have a piece of history even more. Thank you for this documentary! All your videos have reignited the enthusiast spark in me
The R35 GT-R is truly the yardstick for supercars. By creating the R35, Nissan inadvertently pushed other companies to respond, although none came close to the performance of the GT-R at a similar price point. Truly a worthy successor to bear the name Godzilla.
It's incredible how I watched the entire 40 minutes of video without taking my eyes off the screen for a second and without even noticing the video ended, you really are one of the best creators of documentaries on the automotive industry! I want to continue watching your documentaries, they are perfect!
I have seen one or two tributes to this car over the years, but this one is magnificent! Over the years since I bought it in 2009, I slowly took it for granted without realizing it. Driving it but forgetting why somehow. The kids wanting to race me suddenly making me remember what I’m driving. You never want this to happen as a car fanatic your whole life, but life has a way of wearing you down. Thanks for helping me remember why I did it and why I still do it. These days I stay in the upper rev range every chance I get, and I still look for excuses to drive across multiple states. Mine is 620 crank hp and feels as great at 110,000 miles as the day I bought her! It’s like a tank and has rarely had an unknown issue in all these years. I will never part with it. What a car! I wish everyone who watched this video could feel what I feel anytime they want. It’s an honor.
The R35 GT-R was one of the first cars that really stuck in my mind - it launched right when I was starting to really understand and love cars. Since it launched, it's gotten more expensive and less impressive, but it was still my first dream car. Thank you for reminding me why.
You missed out on the greatest era. The launch of this car is right around the time a truly special era for car enthusiast ended. There's a saying that the best cars have already been made, this is due to the direction we are headed in the car world.
The documentary's conclusion was absolutely perfect; I couldn't have asked for a better ending. It was truly an incredibly well-crafted and meticulously written documentary that delved into every aspect of the Nissan GTR supercar. The attention to detail and the depth of information provided were simply astounding, making it one of the most captivating and enlightening documentaries I have ever had the pleasure of watching.
This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The production quality, the descriptive language used, the excellent editing, the Phenomenal choice of BGM. You truly are in a league of your own Squidd! Keep up the incredible work!!!
This is the 3rd video in a row that has given me goosebumps... For a channel started just for you to practice story telling; it's mind blowing how good it is! I genuinely hope you don't stop doing this. You're easily one of the best in this genre
The Buster Douglas story is amazing. He was always a average and unmotivated fighter but his mom passed away before the fight and used that grief to train his A off while Tyson admitted to not training at all . Unfortunately Douglas didn’t have that same motivation after the fight and lost his belt his next match
@@paulprimac Yup, but I honestly think he would’ve lost to any top fighter at the time. Dude would order and eat whole pizzas during his “training camp “. Just lost his motivation but will always be remembered to be the first one to beat Mike Tyson
@PFYT88 Yep, totally agree, he didn't come into the Holyfield fight with the same do-or-die energy that he had when he dismantled Tyson (losing his mother just weeks before), but it also has to be mentioned that if Tyson had been fighting Douglas with his typical ferocity, Douglas most likely would have been just another notch on the belt (even though at the time, Douglas was ranked 3rd in the heavyweight ranks if memory serves, and fought a brilliant strategic bout against Tyson). Would have been really fun to watch Buster with clear mind and purpose possibly becoming a dominant force in heavyweight boxing of the day because he was talented. Definitely an amazing time in the history of professional boxing.
It feels weird to say I don’t cry easily, but every time i watch one of your documentaries I start tearing up without fail. You really have a talent for what your do, and I think it might be time for a video on the mark 4 supra ;)
Best automotive channel ever, when he was talking about how the gtr badge is not guaranteed to come back, i thought of beerus asking goku if he was finished
@@the.squidd I watched this video twice before I made my comment keep up the good work you have a great community here on your TH-cam channel that loves the time and effort that you continue to put into these videos.👍👍
Due to watching youtube shorts/tik tok my attention span has worsened over time, but your videos keep me glued to my screen more than anything I've been watching these past six months and all I wanted to say is thank you.
My absolute compliments Squidd. Your videos are gorgeous. Be it your narrative method, editing or the simple feelings which can be so clearly felt through every minute, these are gems upons gems. My personal favourite is the LFA one. That is beyond breathtaking.
Thank you friend, I care deeply about the stories, the cars, the people that made them and you the viewers. I'll continue to try to do all of them justice!
What a way to open an automotive documentary - that Tyson/Douglas fight was a shock almost beyond comprehension in the boxing world at the time, I still remember seeing it live at a pub and the place nearly erupting into a riot; the bar staff couldn't work out what was going on. That is the perfect emphasis for the GT-R here - that's some writing. Outstanding.
@Karl with a K 13000 sold in the US according to the interwebz, depends on the area you are in I guess. I don't think they had pov pack versions so poorer areas may need to wait a while
This was a dream car for me when I graduated high school. This car also really killed whatever excitement there was for the LFA back when it released. If I remember correctly the LFA was expected to release at the same time but that's when they went back to the drawing board for a carbon chassis. The GT-R came out, and the LFA was forgotten about until later on when it was recognized as being slept on.
I love this! JDM cars truly have a place in my heart. The way they are created, and the amount of pride those people have that build them.. truly is second to none. The legacy that cars like the Evo, the Impreza, the Type R,the Supra and the GT-R have is simply unparalled. Great Vid Squidd keep up the good work.
I was lucky enough to drive my mates R35 GTR . I've never been in a car that defies the forces of gravity . It's porky but the tricky gearbox and ATESA AWD that silky smooth 3.8 twin turbo just blew me away . What a car ,I just want one
As a kid my dad thought me that nissan makes it better and simpler than anyone else. But after seeing this it gave me goose bumps and I got emotional. Definatly a must watch channel
Compared to those very very pricey porsche, the GTR is still beautiful in design, if you have the chance to get the 2024 Nismo R35 I would do it in a heartbeat lol
As a 2009 GT-R owner this documentary is very cool! I enjoy all the details and some of the new details I didn’t know. The GT-R is as fast as you see it and sounds amazing. I love my GT-R and when I drive it, well it bring me great joy. Thank you for making this documentary
This documentary is so well structured and the excitement behind the unveiling of each storied segment of the development of this modern day GTR was so beautifully articulated. This is by far one of my most favorite car documentaries ever.
Bro. How can you be _SO_ good at narrating stories? So engaging, so well written and edited and just so all-consuming that I didn't even notice 42 minutes were gone. You really are the GOAT of automotive documentaries here on TH-cam. In other news, god I hope the GTR brand survives...
Theres no secret or magic or tricks, I've been making content in some form for nearly 20 years. It's 10,000 hours of practice, and genuine enthusiasm for the stories I am telling. I appreciate you friend and I am sure you have something you are equally or better at, and the world deserves to see it.
Mr Squidd I've never felt so emotional over a car documentary. But this is just magnificent. I'm true Nissan fan boy and the GT-R is by far the most inspirational machine of the world. Excellent doco mate.
Dude please don't EVER stop doing these, you pull at my heartstrings in a mechanical passionate way that no channel ever has, thanks for being able to transport our passion of cars and motorsports on to a screen for everyone to appreciate. Simply Thank you.
I’ve officially found my new favorite automotive TH-cam channel, the way this man can tell a story like he’s living in the era at which it began is astounding, keep up the amazing work good sir! Ps. Not sure if you take suggestions but not many people talk about Volvo as they rose from safety being their standard, but they too dabbled in the racing and performance car market, would love to see a video in your style about them!
It's hard to put into words how well-crafted this documentary is. Bravo to you, my friend. Truly impressive. This is the first time I've subscribed after one video.
Your account bro, it took me back to my childhood watching car shows like top gear and other car build shows on discovery channel and BBC. Love your channel!!
Idk how you do it man but you're the champion when it comes to story telling and getting people hooked the moment they click on the video. Never stop brother, Godspeed.
I'm the type of person that sees things beyond what they are and i understand What it takes to be creative and different enough to make something grab attention and hold it. This will be the first of many squidd Videos i watch. Well done sir this is a very amazing documentary.
As a huge gtr fan ,this made me soooooo much happy and emotional ,i could feel everything you said it literally gave me goosebumps all the time. Kudos to you and your team,Great work !!!!!
I would confidently say that this, this very channel is the benchmark of car documentaries. You deserve more than just a hundred subscribers, mate. Your video presentation and quality is truly outstanding.
Squidd ... Your content is ARTISTIC! You're an ARTIST! Its not journalism but ARTISTIC JOURNALISM at its very best. Its Beautiful to watch yet so educational giving us fanatics, exquisite answers to people who never saw our point of view. Thank You!
You have become the new yardstick to car documentaries for car enthusiasts, the attention to detail and the choice of words are phenomenal even if it is just voice over on video editing like 'hunters moon'
Probably the best car I've drove was the GTR R34. And the fastest and most comfortable car I've ever ridden on was a GTR R35. Last but not least this content creator has to be best car documentary creator on TH-cam. You will go far, Squidd. Believe me. I've watched several of your documentaries and find it better than those created by big documentary brands such as NatGeo and such. Keep up the good work and all the best. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Cheers 🥂
i can't imagine how much work went into researching and writing the script, digging out all the old footage and editing this masterpiece. bravo sir, this was a masterpiece!
When videos like these bring tears to your eyes and sheer childish joy to your heart you know there's something there that's been missing in the car programming world for a long time. Thank you for reminding us all why we love the sounds of a screaming engine and legacies that live on well past the time they graced the road and race tracks across the globe 🏁
@@UnderTheBarI envy u LoL. I'm all in if the hybrid beats everyone else's ass tbh. I mean the Porsche Spyder is still talked about today and it did that with cutting edge hybrid tech right. But the acura NSX hybrid wasn't the best was it? Sure it had fast laps in some place like the top gear test track but in a vid by best motoring it was beat by the old NSX in touge. Not to mention GTR is already a heavy car and a 4 seater car too. Hy rid tech might make it too heavy since attesa will be there for sure. Goes to show that it's the handling but of that car that makes it so legendary and not just the raw constant torque. I heard recently that Nissan won't release the next GTR unless they can prove it's the fastest car which obviously means its nurburgring time were it has to beat the amg one by Mercedes and idk if that will work out either. As for the ones now.Maybe it's just me but if the GTR could lose 100Kg from what it is now. It can reach the less than 7min mark for sure especially after reading the Wikipedia page on its unofficial times made that didn't reach the record books all of that with 255mm front and 285mm rear wheel tyres makes it an achievement IMO. But they just doing small changes these days right? Makes me fear the worse that they r getting lazy. What do u think as an owner if this beast car?
Your documentaries made me appreciate cars, I'd grown up looking at them as chunks of metal but now you've made me excited in purchasing my very first car that I hope to modify and take joy in for years to come.
You sir are singlehandedly making a standard for all car documentaries across the board. These videos are gold and will remain gold. These videos are a perfect symphony of incredible editing and story telling that truly engages every atom of the viewer. The fact that I took my time as a viewer to say all of this and think about what I'm going to comment to try to convey my emotions from this video into a text message is enough to show how legendary these videos truly are. Immaculate work once again Squidd...
I rarely comment on videos - but this documentary, if I may call it like that, was very awesome. It had drama, history, was well written, super informative, great assembly with video and audio, and a great analogy in the beginning (and also ending with it). Love it.
I must say...I typically just put TH-cam videos on in the background while doing other stuff. Yours however, I cannot do anything else but stop and watch. Kudos to you, your videos are amazing.
Oh my god, this video brought me to tears. The GTR is my dream car, and the way you narrated it’s story, just sensational. I made the request for a R35 backstory and you actually did it. Thank you, thank you!!!
@Malayna Petersen I used to say i would buy a r35 when i got older, they started at 30K€ used in europe, now that i could affort that easily they're not 30k anymore, same with r32s..
I was asked by my father what 2 cars I would drive if I had my choice, and they had to be the cars I stuck with for the rest of my life. I told him I'd have a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS for the weekends, and a Nissan R35 GT-R. I've loved this car since I first heard of it. And to this day, 16 years later, I still long to get one in my driveway. Squidd, your car documentaries are unparalleled. From your passion and enthusiasm for the vehicles you write about, to the presentation and the information you provide. I get a little depressed after every video I watch because I just want more. But this one was a little more special for me, because you paid tribute to a car that released when I graduated high school, and has been my favorite foreign car since, bar none. I can't wait to see your next creation. And thank you for this video.
Thanks Ronald! This video was special to me too, it is my one true dream car, if I had a million dollars, I'd still just buy a lowly R35, hell even a 2007. Newer ones are faster, newer ones are nicer, more refined, more reliable.... but the 2007 is the one that shook the world.
@@the.squidd Yesss!!! That's why I want the '99 (R34) over the later released track/manufacturer performance models, for the streets! Rather than more circuit-oriented-performance-traits like, say for instance, the ol' Nordschleife over the Grand Prix Section. Oh and like Ron my favorite muscle is mos def the 454 SS Chevelle, I think '70, I think.
@@yongling9825 I would love driving a stock '99 (R34) if they even exist anymore, 'specially in Lightning Yellow or Bayside Blue, even though it's not a Supercar (like the [R35]) you gotta admit it is a Super, I mean Great Car! Though maybe more street-oriented than the circuit-thrasher that is the (R35) Supercar! I love driver's cars like Ferrari 288 GTO's & F40's as well, pretty much anything extremely cool.
@@pLAST3RdISAST3R Nissan and NISMO have a GT-R restoration programme in recent times, from remanufacturing the cars' original parts (small consumables, bumpers and even the RB26 engine block) to restoring a whole Skyline GT-R back to factory-stock condition. So far, I know the R32 is included, but I'm not sure if it has reached the point the R34 is included yet. The restoration costs a bomb and takes a very long time, but having the car feeling as stock as possible again should be good. And yes, I'd love to drive a Bayside Blue Skyline GT-R R34.
Nissan is doing it right. Dont let the GT-R batch grow old or fat, just put it on another world beater. I would rather never see the GT-R batch on a car ever again then see it on an electric car or something. GT-R is and always will be a legend, lets keep it that way. As are you SQUIDD you are the gold standard of automotive documentaries.
Squidd is bringing something new to the YT car community and I absolutely LIVE for it man. You are the Wendigoon, SummoningSalt, Jacob Geller, Whitelight, and ThatBoyAqua of the car scene. You aren’t talking in stats and hp ratings doing general reviews like Doug and Throttle House or doing the unthinkable like DDE or even bringing the car community to the general public like Donut Media. You are talking in and about the mythos of cars and what they mean to US. The fans, the lovers, the absolute die hards of cars. The ones who don’t care what new horse power ratings are of the latest model year but rather the ones that care about what that symbol on the front and back stands for, what it means to us and the people who helped build the legends that we love today. And for that, I thank you.
The hype the R35 brought to the other GT-Rs when I was growing up was insane. I didn't really care for or about Nissan's history until I saw the TG test for the R35. Really a master stroke from Nissan.
6 years after, my 2017 R35 is still so reliable and running perfectly fine! My only complain is to had a manual version and that's why I always admired an R34. But other than that it's so well made and spacious for a supercar.
every single video is absolutely the apex of car documentaries, every one makes me more of a car guy for all of these cars, I still go back to watch the mclaren F1 video like once a month. Literally never change or compromise Squidd just keep making the same exact videos and youll get millions of subs guaranteed. Well done.
Hello from the country who named the GTR Godzilla, you are the underdog in car documentaries, I hope you keep up the unbeatable quality of your work. The GTRs are my favourite cars and I am super grateful to have you help me learn more of the legend. Thank you Squidd, we all admire your work!
I love how you always start with something that has basically nothing to do with the topic of the video AT ALL, but then you take 1 simple little detail and connect it with what you want to talk about, and bam, amazing intro.
Absolutely Epic as always. These are the stories that need to be heard. These are the cars that shaped our childhood, It's an honour to get to know the ones who worked to make these wonderful machines happen. And to spice it all up, memories from the old topgear clips . Thank you Squidd. ❤
Thanks Ajmal! Definitely want to spread the good word of the people and stories behind these cars. When you learn of who made them, and how, i think it makes it so much more than a car, its a monument.
Man......why the hell did you do this.....now I need to find out how I can get my hands on one!

thank you James! Glad you appreciated that story, it always feels like a risk when I put the analogies in there, happy when it seems to be appreciated.

The emotion you layer in just puts the whole world aside for all 41:29mins. Clever on so many layers. One needs to prep their environment before entering your story. You soon, will deserve one of your own videos about yourself! I live for your storys and pitty all others. I thank you for the joy it gives when that notification pops up. Please stay in our lifes....
Much love and affection was poured into this and I felt it tough the screen. Nobody else, not even Nissan has described and teached the story of this incredible underrated car better, than you. chapo! 👏
I don't know how a 40 minute video about a car can bring me to tears, you managed to do it. Great video, excellent car.
I made it out of fresh cut onions

So I'm not the only one to be brought to tears. Truly a great video.
Everyone ive listened to so far
I remember reading the rumors of a new GT-R, seeing pics of the camouflaged version on Nurburgring, and reading all the news after it was announced in 2007. 18-year-old me could still only dream of affording it. I never knew all the little details and the stories of the people behind it and that just makes me want to have a piece of history even more. Thank you for this documentary! All your videos have reignited the enthusiast spark in me
The R35 GT-R is truly the yardstick for supercars. By creating the R35, Nissan inadvertently pushed other companies to respond, although none came close to the performance of the GT-R at a similar price point. Truly a worthy successor to bear the name Godzilla.
It single handedly killed the Lexus LFA lol
@@destroyerarmor the lexus looks amazing tho, this thing looks horrible. i bet a tesla model 3 performance for 50k will smoke this.

@@juanwononeyuan There is a very important metric you are forgetting. Nicknamed dials and pegs.
It's incredible how I watched the entire 40 minutes of video without taking my eyes off the screen for a second and without even noticing the video ended, you really are one of the best creators of documentaries on the automotive industry! I want to continue watching your documentaries, they are perfect!
I have seen one or two tributes to this car over the years, but this one is magnificent! Over the years since I bought it in 2009, I slowly took it for granted without realizing it. Driving it but forgetting why somehow. The kids wanting to race me suddenly making me remember what I’m driving. You never want this to happen as a car fanatic your whole life, but life has a way of wearing you down. Thanks for helping me remember why I did it and why I still do it. These days I stay in the upper rev range every chance I get, and I still look for excuses to drive across multiple states. Mine is 620 crank hp and feels as great at 110,000 miles as the day I bought her! It’s like a tank and has rarely had an unknown issue in all these years. I will never part with it. What a car! I wish everyone who watched this video could feel what I feel anytime they want. It’s an honor.
Thanks for that, Dean.
You really make me look forward to continued years of ownership with my GTR. Thank you!
It's not much but for the work and research you put into these mini documentaries, have a drink on me. 🎩🤘
The R35 GT-R was one of the first cars that really stuck in my mind - it launched right when I was starting to really understand and love cars. Since it launched, it's gotten more expensive and less impressive, but it was still my first dream car. Thank you for reminding me why.
its also my first and only dream car and i wont ever stop loving this car
You have to drive one. At least once. Best car I've ever driven
@@johnykilroy5521 Agreed, one of the few sports cars that I was close to purchasing with flappy paddles, it was insane to drive for the price.
You missed out on the greatest era. The launch of this car is right around the time a truly special era for car enthusiast ended. There's a saying that the best cars have already been made, this is due to the direction we are headed in the car world.
Okay good heavens, I almost thought SQUIDD was leaving TH-cam... I'm glad it was just a BANGER documentary
Bruh moment
bro it had a gtr in the freaking thumbnail how is that defines leaving youtube?
@@diecastreviews11 did you bother to read the title ?
@@diecastreviews11, i got my notification on mobile and was only the name of the vid. It was a shock for a moment.
@@Juanguar I did, it was about r35.
The documentary's conclusion was absolutely perfect; I couldn't have asked for a better ending. It was truly an incredibly well-crafted and meticulously written documentary that delved into every aspect of the Nissan GTR supercar. The attention to detail and the depth of information provided were simply astounding, making it one of the most captivating and enlightening documentaries I have ever had the pleasure of watching.
🤜🤛
This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The production quality, the descriptive language used, the excellent editing, the Phenomenal choice of BGM. You truly are in a league of your own Squidd! Keep up the incredible work!!!
Wow, thank you!
Only Squidd can make a story about a car that practically brings tears to your eyes.
Facts
I thought I was the only one who almost felt a little emotional at certain points hahaha..
I'm crying toooooo! Man this is the penultimate.
CHATGPT
I got tears in my eyes
This is the 3rd video in a row that has given me goosebumps... For a channel started just for you to practice story telling; it's mind blowing how good it is!
I genuinely hope you don't stop doing this. You're easily one of the best in this genre
Guess I'll just keep practicing then!
Holy s**t, not even Jason Cammisa and Hagerty could top the level of emotion and goosebumps that this documentary creates. Truly a masterpiece!
But they can beat the accuracy.
these aren't TH-cam videos anymore, these are full-on documentaries.
kudos for the insane quality, dude. keep up the amazing work!
The Buster Douglas story is amazing. He was always a average and unmotivated fighter but his mom passed away before the fight and used that grief to train his A off while Tyson admitted to not training at all . Unfortunately Douglas didn’t have that same motivation after the fight and lost his belt his next match
Yeah, but to the legendary Evander Holyfield! It was painful to watch, but he lost to one of the best of all time.
@@paulprimac Yup, but I honestly think he would’ve lost to any top fighter at the time. Dude would order and eat whole pizzas during his “training camp “. Just lost his motivation but will always be remembered to be the first one to beat Mike Tyson
@PFYT88 Yep, totally agree, he didn't come into the Holyfield fight with the same do-or-die energy that he had when he dismantled Tyson (losing his mother just weeks before), but it also has to be mentioned that if Tyson had been fighting Douglas with his typical ferocity, Douglas most likely would have been just another notch on the belt (even though at the time, Douglas was ranked 3rd in the heavyweight ranks if memory serves, and fought a brilliant strategic bout against Tyson). Would have been really fun to watch Buster with clear mind and purpose possibly becoming a dominant force in heavyweight boxing of the day because he was talented. Definitely an amazing time in the history of professional boxing.
It feels weird to say I don’t cry easily, but every time i watch one of your documentaries I start tearing up without fail. You really have a talent for what your do, and I think it might be time for a video on the mark 4 supra ;)
It's not weird to say. Humans have emotions. It's weird to not feel things. th-cam.com/video/R33IEQjI1l8/w-d-xo.html
these are movie quality good! I find myself tearing up too!
Best automotive channel ever, when he was talking about how the gtr badge is not guaranteed to come back, i thought of beerus asking goku if he was finished
🥶🥶🥶
The adrenaline rush you get listening to squid's commentary is unmatched

A fantasic documentary on this Japanese legend, you made a 40 minute documentary feel short. Amazing job.

@@the.squidd I watched this video twice before I made my comment keep up the good work you have a great community here on your TH-cam channel that loves the time and effort that you continue to put into these videos.👍👍
Bro, you literally have some of the best content on TH-cam. The level of production is just amazing. I really really love this channel!!
Due to watching youtube shorts/tik tok my attention span has worsened over time, but your videos keep me glued to my screen more than anything I've been watching these past six months and all I wanted to say is thank you.
Glad to hear it!
My absolute compliments Squidd.
Your videos are gorgeous.
Be it your narrative method, editing or the simple feelings which can be so clearly felt through every minute, these are gems upons gems.
My personal favourite is the LFA one. That is beyond breathtaking.
Thank you friend, I care deeply about the stories, the cars, the people that made them and you the viewers. I'll continue to try to do all of them justice!
You're welcome.
I ve never been a lackey and you absolutely deserve every single word I've (and many others) written.
What a way to open an automotive documentary - that Tyson/Douglas fight was a shock almost beyond comprehension in the boxing world at the time, I still remember seeing it live at a pub and the place nearly erupting into a riot; the bar staff couldn't work out what was going on. That is the perfect emphasis for the GT-R here - that's some writing. Outstanding.
@Karl with a K 13000 sold in the US according to the interwebz, depends on the area you are in I guess. I don't think they had pov pack versions so poorer areas may need to wait a while
This was a dream car for me when I graduated high school. This car also really killed whatever excitement there was for the LFA back when it released. If I remember correctly the LFA was expected to release at the same time but that's when they went back to the drawing board for a carbon chassis. The GT-R came out, and the LFA was forgotten about until later on when it was recognized as being slept on.
The GTR has the heritage. The LFA was awesome sure, but it wasn't the already beloved GTR.
THIS was the best doc on the GT-R ive ever seen. Completely knocked it out of the park. Well Done. 👍
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
I love this! JDM cars truly have a place in my heart. The way they are created, and the amount of pride those people have that build them.. truly is second to none. The legacy that cars like the Evo, the Impreza, the Type R,the Supra and the GT-R have is simply unparalled. Great Vid Squidd keep up the good work.
Thanks Ben!
I was lucky enough to drive my mates R35 GTR . I've never been in a car that defies the forces of gravity . It's porky but the tricky gearbox and ATESA AWD that silky smooth 3.8 twin turbo just blew me away . What a car ,I just want one
As a kid my dad thought me that nissan makes it better and simpler than anyone else. But after seeing this it gave me goose bumps and I got emotional. Definatly a must watch channel
Great video! As an R35 owner.... it still holds it own for it's age, only that it's not affordable anymore sadly. Still an amazing machine
Compared to those very very pricey porsche, the GTR is still beautiful in design, if you have the chance to get the 2024 Nismo R35 I would do it in a heartbeat lol
As a 2009 GT-R owner this documentary is very cool! I enjoy all the details and some of the new details I didn’t know. The GT-R is as fast as you see it and sounds amazing. I love my GT-R and when I drive it, well it bring me great joy. Thank you for making this documentary
Glad you enjoyed it!
This documentary is so well structured and the excitement behind the unveiling of each storied segment of the development of this modern day GTR was so beautifully articulated. This is by far one of my most favorite car documentaries ever.
Bro.
How can you be _SO_ good at narrating stories? So engaging, so well written and edited and just so all-consuming that I didn't even notice 42 minutes were gone.
You really are the GOAT of automotive documentaries here on TH-cam.

Ps. Not sure if you take suggestions but not many people talk about Volvo as they rose from safety being their standard, but they too dabbled in the racing and performance car market, would love to see a video in your style about them!
I definitely hear suggestions and file them away for “maybe future use”

I appreciate that greatly. Thank you so much for spending your valuable time with us!
Probably the best car I've drove was the GTR R34. And the fastest and most comfortable car I've ever ridden on was a GTR R35. Last but not least this content creator has to be best car documentary creator on TH-cam. You will go far, Squidd. Believe me. I've watched several of your documentaries and find it better than those created by big documentary brands such as NatGeo and such. Keep up the good work and all the best. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Cheers 🥂
i can't imagine how much work went into researching and writing the script, digging out all the old footage and editing this masterpiece. bravo sir, this was a masterpiece!
When videos like these bring tears to your eyes and sheer childish joy to your heart you know there's something there that's been missing in the car programming world for a long time.
Thank you for reminding us all why we love the sounds of a screaming engine and legacies that live on well past the time they graced the road and race tracks across the globe 🏁
Yes! YES!! ALMOST teared up! Absolutely amazing mini movie 😊
After seeing this, i think it's high time for the next GTR to grace the world
nah if its electric then retire the badge
@@haggard1378 I have a 2013 and wouldn't mind a hybrid
It doesn’t make financial sense to produce a new GTR right now, when new gas vehicles are going to be banned in many places.
@@UnderTheBarI envy u LoL.
I'm all in if the hybrid beats everyone else's ass tbh. I mean the Porsche Spyder is still talked about today and it did that with cutting edge hybrid tech right. But the acura NSX hybrid wasn't the best was it? Sure it had fast laps in some place like the top gear test track but in a vid by best motoring it was beat by the old NSX in touge. Not to mention GTR is already a heavy car and a 4 seater car too. Hy rid tech might make it too heavy since attesa will be there for sure. Goes to show that it's the handling but of that car that makes it so legendary and not just the raw constant torque. I heard recently that Nissan won't release the next GTR unless they can prove it's the fastest car which obviously means its nurburgring time were it has to beat the amg one by Mercedes and idk if that will work out either.
As for the ones now.Maybe it's just me but if the GTR could lose 100Kg from what it is now. It can reach the less than 7min mark for sure especially after reading the Wikipedia page on its unofficial times made that didn't reach the record books all of that with 255mm front and 285mm rear wheel tyres makes it an achievement IMO. But they just doing small changes these days right? Makes me fear the worse that they r getting lazy. What do u think as an owner if this beast car?
Ok, this has been my 4th video since clicking the 1st one this morning. Definitely worth subscribing guys, this guy is the GOAT for automative history

Thanks Dan! Sorry the wait between vids is so long, I'm gonna try to get more stuff out this year!
Bro what is this like counter you are THE BEST documentary channel out there like howww u should be in the top 3 of yt bro
Your documentaries made me appreciate cars, I'd grown up looking at them as chunks of metal but now you've made me excited in purchasing my very first car that I hope to modify and take joy in for years to come.
Glad I could help you realize what Kaz did back in 1972!
Probably the best documentary of a supercar that I have ever seen. Goosebumps.
You sir are singlehandedly making a standard for all car documentaries across the board. These videos are gold and will remain gold. These videos are a perfect symphony of incredible editing and story telling that truly engages every atom of the viewer. The fact that I took my time as a viewer to say all of this and think about what I'm going to comment to try to convey my emotions from this video into a text message is enough to show how legendary these videos truly are. Immaculate work once again Squidd...
Appreciate you letting me know friend!
I rarely comment on videos - but this documentary, if I may call it like that, was very awesome. It had drama, history, was well written, super informative, great assembly with video and audio, and a great analogy in the beginning (and also ending with it). Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can’t believe I got chills from watching a free car documentary on TH-cam. What a time to be alive.
High quality content right here. I rewatched your videos twice! Keep it up Squidd.
We really appreciate your work.
Much appreciated!
Nah, the way you start your videos are amazing! 11/10!
I must say...I typically just put TH-cam videos on in the background while doing other stuff. Yours however, I cannot do anything else but stop and watch. Kudos to you, your videos are amazing.
Wow, thank you!
Oh my god, this video brought me to tears. The GTR is my dream car, and the way you narrated it’s story, just sensational. I made the request for a R35 backstory and you actually did it. Thank you, thank you!!!
@Malayna Petersen I used to say i would buy a r35 when i got older, they started at 30K€ used in europe, now that i could affort that easily they're not 30k anymore, same with r32s..
@Malayna Petersen the cheapest one you could find in Europe starts at 50K €
4:59 Feels like i am watching a Joe Vincent video about cars.
Amazing video dude.❤
I was asked by my father what 2 cars I would drive if I had my choice, and they had to be the cars I stuck with for the rest of my life.
I told him I'd have a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS for the weekends,
and a Nissan R35 GT-R.
I've loved this car since I first heard of it. And to this day, 16 years later, I still long to get one in my driveway.
Squidd, your car documentaries are unparalleled. From your passion and enthusiasm for the vehicles you write about, to the presentation and the information you provide. I get a little depressed after every video I watch because I just want more. But this one was a little more special for me, because you paid tribute to a car that released when I graduated high school, and has been my favorite foreign car since, bar none.
I can't wait to see your next creation. And thank you for this video.
Thanks Ronald! This video was special to me too, it is my one true dream car, if I had a million dollars, I'd still just buy a lowly R35, hell even a 2007. Newer ones are faster, newer ones are nicer, more refined, more reliable.... but the 2007 is the one that shook the world.
@@the.squidd I'd be happy with driving a stock-tuned GT-R R35 as I want to feel what it used to be like originally. Supercars are best left stock.
@@the.squidd Yesss!!! That's why I want the '99 (R34) over the later released track/manufacturer performance models, for the streets! Rather than more circuit-oriented-performance-traits like, say for instance, the ol' Nordschleife over the Grand Prix Section. Oh and like Ron my favorite muscle is mos def the 454 SS Chevelle, I think '70, I think.
@@yongling9825 I would love driving a stock '99 (R34) if they even exist anymore, 'specially in Lightning Yellow or Bayside Blue, even though it's not a Supercar (like the [R35]) you gotta admit it is a Super, I mean Great Car! Though maybe more street-oriented than the circuit-thrasher that is the (R35) Supercar! I love driver's cars like Ferrari 288 GTO's & F40's as well, pretty much anything extremely cool.
@@pLAST3RdISAST3R Nissan and NISMO have a GT-R restoration programme in recent times, from remanufacturing the cars' original parts (small consumables, bumpers and even the RB26 engine block) to restoring a whole Skyline GT-R back to factory-stock condition. So far, I know the R32 is included, but I'm not sure if it has reached the point the R34 is included yet.
The restoration costs a bomb and takes a very long time, but having the car feeling as stock as possible again should be good.
And yes, I'd love to drive a Bayside Blue Skyline GT-R R34.
Nissan is doing it right. Dont let the GT-R batch grow old or fat, just put it on another world beater. I would rather never see the GT-R batch on a car ever again then see it on an electric car or something. GT-R is and always will be a legend, lets keep it that way. As are you SQUIDD you are the gold standard of automotive documentaries.
Squidd is bringing something new to the YT car community and I absolutely LIVE for it man. You are the Wendigoon, SummoningSalt, Jacob Geller, Whitelight, and ThatBoyAqua of the car scene. You aren’t talking in stats and hp ratings doing general reviews like Doug and Throttle House or doing the unthinkable like DDE or even bringing the car community to the general public like Donut Media. You are talking in and about the mythos of cars and what they mean to US. The fans, the lovers, the absolute die hards of cars. The ones who don’t care what new horse power ratings are of the latest model year but rather the ones that care about what that symbol on the front and back stands for, what it means to us and the people who helped build the legends that we love today. And for that, I thank you.
You my friend watch good content, and am honored to have you here. 🤜🤛
@@the.squidd 🤜💥🤛
Squidd, this was fantastic from the narration, pace, visuals and editing. The price reveal blew me away. I never knew GTRs were this cheap.
I remember being so mind-blown when these came out. Ruined supercars for me
The hype the R35 brought to the other GT-Rs when I was growing up was insane. I didn't really care for or about Nissan's history until I saw the TG test for the R35. Really a master stroke from Nissan.
for the love of god never stop making these videos, i have literally GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME
6 years after, my 2017 R35 is still so reliable and running perfectly fine! My only complain is to had a manual version and that's why I always admired an R34. But other than that it's so well made and spacious for a supercar.
every single video is absolutely the apex of car documentaries, every one makes me more of a car guy for all of these cars, I still go back to watch the mclaren F1 video like once a month. Literally never change or compromise Squidd just keep making the same exact videos and youll get millions of subs guaranteed. Well done.
Thanks Austin! I am a very stubborn fella so the content will likely always be exactly how I want it to be.
Hello from the country who named the GTR Godzilla, you are the underdog in car documentaries, I hope you keep up the unbeatable quality of your work. The GTRs are my favourite cars and I am super grateful to have you help me learn more of the legend. Thank you Squidd, we all admire your work!
I love how you always start with something that has basically nothing to do with the topic of the video AT ALL, but then you take 1 simple little detail and connect it with what you want to talk about, and bam, amazing intro.
Absolutely Epic as always. These are the stories that need to be heard. These are the cars that shaped our childhood, It's an honour to get to know the ones who worked to make these wonderful machines happen. And to spice it all up, memories from the old topgear clips . Thank you Squidd. ❤

i mean i hope the middles are at least educational
Excellent work as always. The comparison between Douglas and the GT-R in the beginning set an awesome tone for entire rest of the story. You deliver the best car documentaries from beginning through the middle all the way to the end. Cant wait to see more!
thank you James! Glad you appreciated that story, it always feels like a risk when I put the analogies in there, happy when it seems to be appreciated.
Car documentary starting off with an iconic Tyson vs Douglas fight 🔥 already knew this was gonna be straight HEAT
That story is INSANE. Douglas is a monster.
This was an amazing documentary. I still remember when the true potential of this car came to light. It truly shocked the world.
Thing blew my mind in 2009
Your documentation is chilli. Leaves goose bumps on the skin. Veeeeeeeery impressive.
