  • In 2019 - the 50-year anniversary of Nissan’s all-conquering GT-R - my fiancée and I were in Japan and went for one utterly incredible drive: a five-hour Ultimate Hakone Drive with Fun2Drive in the 2.6-litre twin-turbo ‘Beast from the East’, the original Godzilla, the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R. Buckle up…

    "a minter it was not" is an understatement! It pulled hard right under brakes when I drove it in 2018!

      Haha, sounds about right. Not sure that's meant to be the 'unforgettable' bit @rhysyeomans...

    Oh man. Can you believe I lived there for 4 years and never did this? Mind you, not sure my 6ft 6 frame would fit all that well, but that original GTR... ridiculous!

      Wha? That's crazy man! Plus 6'6", you'd of fit into something! Next time I guess :D

      Hey @johnnyappleseed4166, you're gonna love it! Hopefully the weather obliges, but regardless, I'm sure it'll be unforgettable.
      Take care and cheers for watching and commenting 🙂

    This must be from a while ago considering some of these cars are no longer available for hire in the fleet? Was here 3 weeks ago hence the curiosity

    • @DaveZalstein
      @DaveZalstein  Місяць тому

      Hey @andrecab1125, yeah, as mentioned in the video, I was there in 2019, so some cars remain on fleet and others may have moved on. Would still highly recommend it if you've got the time and coin - huge fun and great people :D
      Cheers.

    Are you allowed to record? I saw another video where they said you can’t?

      Hey @escoplayer10, it can vary, but generally the use of camera equipment is restricted in the cars, which is why footage from the day is limited and mostly shot on iPhone. It's more about the driving experience than living life behind the lens anyway.
      Cheers.
