I just loved seeing the owners reaction when you were talking about all the little details that you'd noticed. His face just lit up because you understood what he'd been trying to achieve with the build. Listening to him talk, you didn't need to know Japanese to know how much passion he has for what he does and what he has achieved. Such an awesome build, and I'm so glad you could share it with those of us who would never get to see it in person. Thank you.
@@famus801 pretty sure bruh is talking about the lightening fast clutch work/lifting off the loud pedal for the shift as Sakamoto-san hasn't yet programmed the ECU to handle WOT shifting so in a sense you'd still have to drive it like an H-pattern but without having to find the right gate for the right gear.
This is the most beautiful version of this car that I have ever seen. The workmanship of the body is mind boggling. I would rather have this over any super car available. Awesome.☘️
The amount of perfectionism that so many Japanese puts into their arts and crafts is just mind boggling. This is an absolutely incredible build by a passionate perfectionist and Larry's enthusiasm in the interview and experience sharing is just spot on. Subscribed!!!
Was so lucky to see this at WEKFEST SJ last year. The photos will never do it justice as to the amount of detail this build has. 👌 Absolutely spot on build!
9 out of 10 cannot phathom the painstaking work involved in this build. All of that effort was lost by not documenting the process. This build is absolutely mental.
@@Phantom-ez4zv It apparently wasn't obvious enough for VGK46 who thinks all of his effort was lost by not documenting the process. Documenting things are for other people to benefit from.
Absolutely love the balance of everything. Black wheels make the carbon pop. Simple clean engine bay does the same thing, makes the exterior pop. What a stunning car!
He's like a Jedi Master i feel like i need to bow in his presence, this is theeeeeee most respectable build to me a $200k fully carbon Nissan Skyline R32 GTR !!!! all hail to the master.
Incredible build, and the details show with that eargasam engine note! Love old Japanese builders. Not only were they there for the original 'good ol days' and still preserve it for the rest of us, but they continue to display that well-accumulated skill to show us how it's done!
I'm a car enthusiast in general, but JDM cars aren't usually that high on my list. Watching Larry though just makes me appreciate these cars so much more👍👍
When I think of Japanese master craftmen there are a few qualities I tend to notice. They pour countless hours going over every detail. They use strong materials and their designs are heavily influenced by functionality. The result has a timeless feel to it. Like it was made to be used and last forever. Sakamoto said he wanted to build something that represents his country. I think he did a fine job of that. Watching him shift gears as he shredded the streets was quality content. I was smiling from ear to ear. Total Badass.
I don't want this to sound like I'm playing off of stereotypes. But I feel this is applicable: I absolutely love Japanese master car builders/fabricators because they strive to achieve the same perfection and detail that Samurai sword makers have been so revered throughout history for. I love it and there's just so much to look at and never-ending little details you can get lost in for hours and hours. Not to mention that, often times, the style is crazy beautiful while still somewhat subdued in order to retain the elegance of the already attractive body lines.
You gotta be good to be Lucky !?! Well I’m calling you Lucky Larry from here on in ! This beautiful GTR 32R is above anyone’s idea of what to do next ! Full Dry Carbon, WTF 😳 I gotta say it’s my own personal taste but I’d would have loved carbon rims and carbon ceramic disc’s on it 🤯 This artisan is a pure genius, I can’t give enough praise to his work. And he is going to drag race it, YES !! This guy is my hero !
You're conversation coupled with the actual glimpse of the car is like sipping a nice cup of coffee while watching the sunrays shine out behind the mountains.. so triumphant. To mention nothing compares when bare hands touches a lifeless material is like breathing life into it. Ahhh... that's emotional for me.
i've seen this car 3 times in person already and every time im just amazed at the quality. What ever it cost is not enough to justify the amount of honed skill and effort it takes to make this.
Also, the difference between dry carbon and wet carbon is merely the amount of resin used. Wet carbon fiber usually includes a ton of extra resin that is not actually necessary for strength, it’s just a shortcoming of the process. Dry carbon fiber is a system designed to minimize the amount of extra resin that gets included in the final piece. Putting 9 coats of clear coat on dry carbon makes it just about as heavy as a panel of wet carbon.
A high quality "wet" carbon process can be just as light as an average quality "dry" carbon. I put these in quotes because absolutely no one in the serious composites industry uses these terms. It sounds like this isn't even autoclaved, so its VBO and nearly identical weight to vacuum infusion.
I hope one day I find something to be as passionate about as this guy is his car. The love shows in every aspect and he has every right to be so proud of his creation. Very inspiring to see.
The Owner Just Has A Lot Of Spirit. He Got My Respect Alot Of It. I Never Seen A Build Like That. Just Look At It. Super Final Form of That Beautiful Master Piece R32. I'm Just Speechless
This is the best GT-R I have ever seen! I miss my GTR very much! I used to own R32 GTR around 1990 to 1996 in Japan. But I am glad now many people talks about GTR in the world!
Interested when the first person will make something like Guntherwerks and Singer does with Porsche's and start introducing that into the JDM cars. A full carbon tubbed R32 would be amazing or going into more of the custom interior work Singer does. Attention to detail is amazing on this build, definitely getting close to what Pagani does with their carbon work. Hats and helmets off to this man, making something so detailed and gorgeous.
Alot of business people keep this kind of stuff a secret, he's so kind and just sharing every bit of information he can, what a humble guy good on him 🤘
This builder is a gem. What a unique race car. His vision for creating builds , car parts are jaw dropping 😍. Thank you Larry for showcasing this man🤜🏽
Damn, that R32 looks amazing! The attention to detail is so impressive with how the carbon weave flows and matches. On top of that, the engine build is impeccable and that sound coming out of the full titanium exhaust is so dope. Seriously a rad one-of-a-kind GTR.
For my opinion, easily the most incredible GT-R build I’ve ever seen. I’ve always been a fan of the MCR cars but this just takes the R32 platform to a whole new level. I’m blown away by the attention to detail and quality of the build…if I ever hit the powerball, I’m definitely getting a Garage Active build lol!!!
True JDM car culture at its best one of the best in the world this is one of the most amazing builds I have ever seen in my life respects goes out to this man look what he has brought to the car culture it’s on another level beyond my wildest dreams if you manifest it speak it into existence it’s truly a work of art
I've never really been crazy about GTRs especially the 32s. This build has totally changed my mind on 32s. Nicest GTR I've ever seen. It's beautiful. Great job.
What an absolute master class in top tier tuning builds. There is nothing sub-par about the way this R32 was built, and my favorite part of it is the humble nature of the man who created it all. I firmly believe that the best don't have to shout wildly about their accomplishments...this is the pinnacle of the statement "walk/speak softly and carry a big stick". When it comes to R32 builds, this is the biggest stick of them all, and it fully deserves all the praise we can bestow on it. I'm basically speechless, and equally mesmerized in something so absolutely impressive. The thought of being able to have a car like that for approximately $150k sounds like the deal of the century, but I have a feeling the cost to exactly replicate what he has in the video would be $250k+
In wet layups you add the matrix material to the fiber ply stack. In dry layups, the material is pre impregnated with the matrix. Wet layup is typically done with a vacuum pot through a process called resin infusion, but is just one of MANY wet layup methods. Dry layup requires vacuum, pressure and heat to get full compaction and matrix flow. This is done with an autoclave and matrix specific autoclave cycles. To actually engineer and manufacture composite parts correctly for their intended use is actually waaaaaaaaaaay more complicated and difficult than what we get stuck with on all of our aftermarket junk parts that everyone thinks are soooo high end and “race car”.
That weight lose is crazy,,, he has done a massive job,,on this 32 i doubt you will find anything that will be better or even come close to this build,,f,n awesome
This vehicle is a Masterpiece, the fact that he NEVER considered this a show car and drives and races it is dope. If Sakamoto San brings this car and sens it down the 1/4 I'll be there!!!
This… Is true beauty gentlemen. The closest thing to perfect I have seen (in the car world). This may be the greatest thing to give the roads the blessing of driving on them. I love this 💯 percent
Good grief! This is beyond amazing!!! The attention to detail is beyond description! I can’t even fathom the amount of man hours that Sakamoto put into this build😱 I’d love to see him take on Best Motoring!
In case you guys didnt notice, Sakamoto San's v-neck t shirt and jeans are flexible carbon and they are on the same weave direction also! Joke aside, the build is out of this world! Arigato Sakamoto San!
The owner seems like such a cool guy and it’s cool to see how much passion he has for what he is doing. Awesome build!
you can't afford to not have passion and build something like this.
Specially shifting with those white Timberland boots
@Mr. Plissken facts
PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well said 👏
This can't be referred to as a kit, it's so extensive that it's almost an entire new car. Amazing job.
This man deserves all the love we can possibly give him
Probably my favorite GTR build of all. 32, 33, 34...this thing is just levels above every other GTR.
Hell yeah, except its not above a real Nismo Z-tune 34
@@FightingSportsMedia This IS above the Z-Tune
The Mine's R34 GTR was my favorite for sooooo many years. This one has now has taken it's place. Wow... that's all I can say.
yeup Supreme Godzilla indeed, i hope to see it in Beamng soon
His foot work is EVERYTHING! Pure sound also.
man i was hoping someone said this!
That footwork was Insane, I’ve never seen anything like that
What Foot work ? It’s a Sequential lmao

There was no effort lost. The car is complete and the owner is happy enjoying it. He didn't build this for other people.

I know I’d be too if it was mine.
Love how the brakes fill out the rims completely.
This!
My favorite car at SEMA this year... The level of craftsmanship in this car is otherworldly
Finally! The best kit for any GTR. .
Garage Active has been around for a while, great to see a Larry Chen build breakdown.
the owners smile as he's mashing the gears is why we boys love cars!!!
I love how the smile never leaves the owners face while driving. So much joy behind the wheel of that car
he was smiling nonstop, that's the face of a happy man.
The car is perfect. The way it sits, the finish, everything. Really love it. Mr. Sakamoto made an unbelievable car.
One of the sickest cars out there. I'm telling you it's a well built car all around.
Absolutely love the balance of everything. Black wheels make the carbon pop. Simple clean engine bay does the same thing, makes the exterior pop. What a stunning car!
The fact that Larry got to do a breakdown of this is just fantastic! Thanks Larry and the owner! What dedication to his craft!
He's like a Jedi Master i feel like i need to bow in his presence, this is theeeeeee most respectable build to me a $200k fully carbon Nissan Skyline R32 GTR !!!! all hail to the master.
Glad to see garage active getting the attention they deserve. Had a good time meeting him and seeing both shops in Fukuoka 2 years ago.
Incredible build, and the details show with that eargasam engine note! Love old Japanese builders. Not only were they there for the original 'good ol days' and still preserve it for the rest of us, but they continue to display that well-accumulated skill to show us how it's done!
I am 41 and have been around cars and my career was customizing cars trucks everything..from here to Vegas, and I'm friggen speachless!!!!!! WOW
The weave staying the same direction, the panel gaps being even the whole way...everything!

very rarely have I seen a perfect car damn, the attention to detail is unrivalled
i love the fact that it looks stock for a wide bodykit
Haha the wheels being offset isn't just a R32 problem, it's also on the S13s and other Nissan chassis. I'm happy they still brought that up though.

Do you know of any R32’s that use hemp fibre and are powered by a billet aluminum RB block? Then I can be 100% jealous. Lol.

Every layer of clear coat is sanded then clear again,final thickness is like maybe 3-4 layer.

@@davidhoffeditz285 So the term "Wet Lay-up" isn't used by anyone in the industry?
So what is the correct name for that process then?
Singer 911’s were shaped by hand with clay. It took them 2 years to get the final product.
This guy is a living legend! You can tell he loves to drive the car too.

That smile he puts on. Genuine guy. Great review.
Starts a fully built engine and immediately smacks the pedal a few times with his hand. What a legend. Sounds perfect! 🔥
I've seen an E30 M3 that is fully carbon too and both that and this are just ....POOOF MIND BLOWN
Absolute Masterpiece.
This is with out a doubt, the sickest R32 GTR on planet earth! The attention to detail is insane :O
Unbelievably amazing dream car, dream set up!!! It doesn’t get any better than that! That car is just unreal
Amazing style, quality and attention to detail. Absolutely fantastic and beautiful.
