    Damn my mind is blown. Dude using the reverse camera to be able to see oncoming traffic. That is absolutely clutch. And I think Sam found his GTR version of Okachan.

    As much as I agree with putting the 33 front end back on I think you should leave the 34 front end on, especially after its getting recognition from people like the creator of the kit itself, you should put a Meiku sticker on it too. Keep an eye out for another 33 and keep this one with the 34 front end, it is unique, I can tell Mei wants you to keep it too.

      Agreed not to disagree, keep it in R34 frontal

      Rebuilt it with him since he was the creator of them. That would be great and then Sam might have him get back into design new stuff just for Sam's 33.4

      ditch the stock 34 front bumper. if you can get a Meiku 34 front then do it. i like the 33 better but recognition from him does deserve to honor his legacy/contribution to the car's design.

    This video gives me “midnight wangan” vibes, I love it. This is a great way for you to see how iconic your 33.4 and even the license plates, please keep it as it is. You can always get another R33 after you get the 34. Loving the energy of the last couple of videos. Super excited for you guys in becoming parents, just keep enjoying life and keep the good times coming 🎉🎉🎉🇯🇲

    I really wanted you to go back to the 33 front. Because 33 is my favorite one. But after him saying he wanted to meet you bc you had a 33.4 and the coincidental matching number plate, you should keep it the way it is in my opinion. I think it's very neat yall got to meet and I can tell it was genuinely a special moment

You being one of the main reasons I watch UA-cam and to see you with some one that is a legend in the car industry is absolutely amazing and to see like so many of his time he is still like a kid in a candy store when it comes to cars.

    Please keep the r33.4 the way it is, it's the car that started it all as a 33.4 it would be a shame to change it from it's original likeness, it's how I found your channel back in the day and it has so much history, yes the s15s get more attention but the 33.4 is your hero car!!

    Them gtr books) magazines were around a hundred dollars each when we used to get them from Japan back in the day. Fast fours and Rotary's magazine and zoom were around six dollars each to put into perspective.. Everything is in Japanese but we could get the information we needed still from them.
    We used them as a guide in the early days to modify the gtr 32s in Australia between the mid 90s and early 2000s
    Issue 1 was a grail from day one.
    They didn't make many copys.
    I've never actually seen one until now

    It looks like a great shop to deal with for Skyline fans. I'm not that into them given where costs have gone, but I'd love an R34-nosed Stagea in Millenium Jade. Also orange is a great color. :)
    As for your 33.4 I'm still neutral on whether or not you change the front clip back, (I don't like that shade of red so it's hard for me to see 'what would be better,' ) ....but if you do, maybe save the R34 stuff/hoist it up for decorations, just in case your family grows to wagon-needs. Cause that looks fierce on a Stagea. :)

    Keep it 33.4 and do another 33 at some point, the 33.4 is rad and the nostalgia having the same plate as the OG was meant to be. Long time fan and owner of many SR’s over the years. (one tuned in the late 90’s by Option UK which I believe was owned by the son of the owner of Option magazine in Japan, maybe you can verify that somehow?) are there any Do-Luck Double Six wheels still available in Japan?
