GT-R: How Nissan Beat Everyone - TST Podcast
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лют 2024
- Why are Nissan GT-Rs so coveted? Why was it illegal to import them? Why did Japan build them in the first place? All that and more is covered in the excellent book, "Cult of GT-R, A Story of Crime, Obsession, and the World's Most Coveted Car". It is a detailed history of the Nissan GT-R, Japanese manufacturing, Japanese car culture, the world of import laws, and why the GT-R means so much to so many of us. The author, Ryan ZumMallen, joins us.

Really enjoyed this conversation. This guy is dope. Definitely reading his book now. Thanks.
cant believe Hugo from Succession knows so much about gtrs
I enjoyed this show more than I thought I would, prejudging it from the title. I think the discussion was more broad than just the car. Ryan seems really knowledgeable and down to earth.
Just bought his book this morning after you mentioned it in the past podcast. Thanks for not spoiling the whole book! Looking forward to the read.
Finally up to date with podcast drops, and what an episode to arrive at.
The best episode of TST in quite a long time...
DON'T HATE ON THE CEDRIC
15 years ago we had a lot of R32 GTR in Montreal. Some of them were rough. Very few left.

This was such a great talk. Thank you guys for continuing to share these stories and now I want a Skyline....
3000GT from Mitsubishi was a car I lusted for in highschool
A number of people in Canada purchased R32, R33 and R34 GTRs for cheap and used them as winter beaters for years... The 10 year head start we had over the US really puts the current prices for these cars into perspective. And it's the same for a lot of the popular JDM cars. Many of the ones that come to auction were left outside and abandoned, because they just became old, used cars. It didn't matter how special they were...
Great episode
Zack made a good point, same thing with the BMW Delivery program
I first saw a "GT-R" in a scale model/RC car magazine in the very early 90's. Fell in love with the body style and box flares.
Matt literally can’t help himself, he has to interrupt the guest to tell his obscure story of why something isn’t his fault. 🤣🤣🤣
It would be great to see Honda Type-R model history book at some point.
I don't think a left hand drive GTR would have been some high volume savior for Nissan but it's possible that a rear wheel drive naturally aspirated version which in some senses is what the G35 was. Would have emerged earlier and made infiniti are more competitive brand earlier. Infinity was printing money with the G35 at the FX35 and they could have potentially started that even earlier as the j30 was a sales failure
