Wangan Racing Nights With Takashi's R34 Skyline

  • I met up with with a long time friend Takashi-san, a key person in Tokyo's underground car culture, for this video. The idea was to check out how his ER34 Skyline has evolved ever since I shot the car back in 2015 when he completed the first phase of the transformation.
    This project was originally supposed to be a missile, a practice drift car, however things got a little out of hand for Takashi and he ended up creating one of the cleanest GT-ts out there. We met in Odaiba, drove into central Tokyo to park up on Nihonbashi bridge and then headed to Umihoraru PA for a chilled Friday night meet.
    In case you are interested here is the original story I did on Takashi's ER34 on Speedhunters:

    This is probably my favourite JDM channel atm. No annoying hype and fanboying. Simply a chill mood with excellent footage from a guy who knows what he's talking about.

    Wow, Tokyo at night just looks like a different world.
    I've never been, but I'd imagine you could drive around the city
    for a few months, and still only see a small fraction of its highlights
    and stunning sights.

    What an incredibly clean R34... pretty close to how I'd build one, especially in terms of power. I also love that he runs Porsche bucketseats. Tbh, I agree that the GTTs don't get the attention they deserve, 'cause there's some really cool builds out there. Only thing is, you gotta tell him to get an alignment. His wheel isn't straight XD

    what kind of kkk turbo is it. a k24 or k26. 450bhp is kind of low for an k26 but to high for an k24. that kind of confusing. probably in the end it is one of those special sard blitz kkk's that are kind of custom anyway. pretty wierd to see those turbos not in an audi, vw or porsche.
