For those that are wondering, this video is taken from option video. This clip is from a video from Chiba-kun, a guy who frequently goes through wangan and record videos. He was very famous around there and capture some pretty amazing videos. The guy never owned a car as far as I know and always rode on a bike LOL. This particular video was when he was invited to go on a speed run with a GTR skyline and a Mazda RX7. The two drivers were going to run on the newly built Aqua line. The aqua line is underground tunnel that was built under Tokyo bay and it cost roughly at that time $40 to go one way. The skyline blew its motor mid run lol. The 2 drivers are from well known tuning shops. And before anyone asks, I do not know if they were original members of the midnight club. Hope that helps.
Chiba-Kun is actually the Chief Editor of Video Option and owns GTRs from R32 all the way up to the R35. The whole Chiba-Kun stuff is a skit just to give insight of the Wangan scenes. The "bike" you are talking about is when he got his license suspended as a result of speeding on C1 in his R33 which there is an actual recordings of Chiba-Kun getting speed trapped and was forced to attend a lecture at a police station.
They were not members of the midnight club. Midnight club doesn't allow that kind of access. Never has. The new Midnight Club in Japan doesn't allow access from outsiders either. The Midnight Club in the USA does not allow outsiders. Edit: Not to mention that looks like a relatively cheap GT-R to have belonged to someone in Midnight Club...It looks almost stock. Midnight Club wouldn't even associate with someone like that. You need to have money to join. Lots of money.

You know... Someone needs to write a movie about 90s Japanese car enthusiasts. and make it authentic and with the proper story, it will become an instant classic.
The RX7 was built by Koseki San at Scoot Sports; they called it the 327FD, and the car made over 700hp. They had a 4 rotor RX7 around the same time with an insane body kit. Their tuning really was ahead of its time.

There was something magical about this type of racing which no game can fully simulate. Top speed racing is very mentally exhausting because it requires your brain to process things much faster and be much more aware of what's approaching you. That, and being able to build a 600+hp car that can go flatout for half an hour is something else too, the heat generated from such setups is immense and only properly tuned cars can hold up to such abuse. It's sad most racing games take none of this into consideration. You can slap some turbo's on a Supra in Forza and just go flatout on a highway, but it doesn't come even close what it would be like in real life.

Just shows how far ahead of the times the Japanese really are. In tuning, drifting, technology and highway road racing. Turbo Skylines doing 300km in 1999?! It's only now the U.S have caught up to tuning Skylines due to 25 year import laws. These guys were doing it when the cars were new!! R32 in 1989, eventually banned in racing. Even the camera technology was ahead of the worlds....because of the world war, all the engineering of aircraft went to motorcycles, that's why it took off in the 1970's with 4 stroke technology and Honda's CB750. 1st disc brakes, inline configuration and big power with 750cc. Honda made motorcycles before cars and everyone knows how reliable and powerful they can be. Best flowing heads in the auto world. Motogp Champions too. The biggest manufacturer in bikes based on volume. Big fan due to being of quality parts, paint and fitment, reliable, user friendly controls and resale value is better than all the big 4: Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha. Other brands may be faster, more powerful and more technology, but overall nothing beats a Honda (motorcycle based opinion) sorry for long rant and bringing bikes/Honda into it.
Americans laugh on Civics with their mostly fart sounding engines but please show me an American 1990's engine that is friendly for city driving, reliable, getting really good MPG and power figures of 100 HP/litre (B16 for example) American engines of the time were undescribable pieces of shit in comparison, so laugh all you want.
Wymiatacz Plays I could name some LT1, LS1, Ford 5.0 as a matter of fact both LT1 or LS1 both we’re capable of getting up to 30 mpg while maintaining good power and torque. Calling them “indescribable prices of shit” is a lie there’s a reason why people love the LS small block. As a matter of fact some of the JDM cars you love have been LS swapped. Silvia S14/S15, RX7, Miata, etc. As far as reliability Again LT and LS wins. The engines were also physically smaller than the Japanese engines(RB26 2JZ). As well as maintaining the strength to be just as powerful. Don’t bring up Hp/liter because it’s a useless argument and silly to compare cars that way because a small block Chevy still produces more power and torque while being almost just as light. You my friend are what’s wrong with the car culture. Just being a hater and not knowing the facts. Go ahead and do some research next time before making a fool out of yourself next time. I’m not laughing at JDM cars I’m laughing at your misinformed statements and ignorance.
Nunca causaron muertes ni accidentes, Gracias a ellos fueron inspiración para muchos corredores e igual Videojuegos Que muchas de generaciones han disfrutado... Gracias NightClub
En verdad si que causaron un accidente que resultó en un fallecido. Iba en una moto y fue atropellado, si mal no recuerdo. Tampoco recuerdo si hubo más de un muerto. En todo caso, después de ese accidente disolvieron el grupo y nunca volvieron.
@@jaguar_time6130 lo del accidente en realidad nunca paso, el lider del equipo en 1995 dio una entrevista en la cual le contaron sobre un accidentado de su equipo y el dijo que no tenia idea, en 1999 el gobierno de japon los tenia en la mira y como excusa para evitar problemas, crearon la mentira del accidente de 1999, la banda nunca se disolvio tampoco, si no que se enfocaron en carreras de circuito y time attacks, hace poco hasta invitaron a todos los miembros antiguos y actuales a una fiesta para conmemorar los 30 años de los mid night (porque no se llaman midnight club, si no mid night)
I've driven that tunnel several times. Last time I did was in my old R33 VSpec. Two other GT-Rs were doing roughly 275km/hr through there. 0 traffic at 3am.
There are people who watch anime, and then there are people who watch this. This is real entertainment, not some cheesy action show about superheroes or school girls.
well drift is something everybody can get into, it's relatively inexpensive and easy to practice, a teenager could have a drift missile and compete quite easily, that's why it's so cool among young people and has really a community type of vibe, top speed feels so elite, the costs, the risks, it makes it so fucking cool
The 260RS Stagea is not that cheap. They're not GT-R expensive but they not cheap either. Last one I saw was close to 30k us. Plus they were only made for a year or two. Not super common.
@@BoostedMayhem 30k is pretty cheap compared to what you get for 30k for a brand new car haha thats how much my buddy paid for his brand new corolla which is kinda funny when you look at it that way but ya they are kinda rare not as rare as you think i also live in canada so maybe there more common because we have more imports
you probably are as the rx7 was mass-produced, that was a popular color, the backstory can't be verified except by the original owner, and 50 other reasons.
@@psychoaceclap6402 they actually are EXTREMELY reliable, specially for the wankel engine These guys knows how to tune, improve and maintain their cars, the wankel with that type of care is a reliable monster (remember mazda won lemans with the 787b not because it was fast but because it didn't break down going 100% balls out during all the 24hrs)
@@aitor9158 rx7 isn’t reliable that’s why most of them need engine replacements every 40k-200,000km. Also they need premix and they have shitty economy even a lot of 600hp super cars have better fuel economy. Rx7’s are shit for reliability and never mind that they have over heating issues, interior falling apart etc. so yeah don’t even say the rx7 is reliable. My Mitsubishi Lancer fwd manual 2017 limited edition I own has 170hp prob the same as the rx7 all I do is oil change every few months and it’s good to go nothing is falling apart that’s what you call reliable. My car is prob as fast as a stock rx7 anyways.
Why in the hell hasn't anyone made a movie about these dudes!? They created such powerful cars for their timeline that the world took notice. Hell, even Rockstar did a game after them.
For those for are wondering. Yes this is completely illegal in Japan 2019, but we can still do this. Best place is "Tokyo bay Aqua-line" early in the morning. Unlike America, there are no cops on the street. At suburban area, we see police car only about once a week. (I see police cars more than 5 times a day in US) Also, they don't have a speed gun or radar system. They have to chase your car and check your speed in order to pull you over. So, as long as you check your rear view mirror frequently, and watch out for unmarked police cars, you be fine. Also, watch out for "orbis" (speed camera) too.
i also do the same. i live in Alabama and they're aren't that many cops around where i live but before i speed on a straight road, i first drive on it and look around to make sure that there aren't any cop cars pulled over and then when i reach the end and the coast is clear, i turn around and floor it back over 100 mph lol. oh and also make sure that they're aren't any traffic because 1. i don't want to put nobody else in danger, 2. they could snitch on you, 3. they could be undercover cops
You mean exaggerates the hell out of it with it's mega death lens fisheye. This is what I've come to realize about driving/racing videos: people judge how fast someone is going or how hard they're pushing based on the lens used. If they use a more honest, narrower lens people complain they weren't pushing it, but if they use these crazy mega death lenses people think it's the fastest thing they've ever seen. If you've ever flown in an airplane you went as fast as these guys before you left the ground, now think about it, did it look that fast? No.

that RX7 is from Scoot. Clocked at 340kmh back in the day.... one of the few RX7s topping 200mph

Japanese street racers dont play games...!!!!! They pushed hard as if everything will fall into pieces man!!!!! So hard bad ass group!!! Mid night club is legendary man!!!!! And its insane coz its 1980's and their speed is beyond 200-300kph... Wow!!!!respect to these legendary street racers in Japan!!! i salute all of you... By the way 2 fast 2 furious? Nevermind hhahaaha
90s and early 2000s are the best years for Japan automotive culture
Those who played Tokyo Extreme Racer back in the day, know what this is all about.
Exactly
I finally got txr3 working on emulator, fun af
I played Wangan Midnight Arcade thing
Keep an eye from oil and water temp tho

"Drifting is for the weak. We only do maximum velocity"
😎
Just shows how far ahead of the times the Japanese really are. In tuning, drifting, technology and highway road racing. Turbo Skylines doing 300km in 1999?! It's only now the U.S have caught up to tuning Skylines due to 25 year import laws. These guys were doing it when the cars were new!! R32 in 1989, eventually banned in racing.
Even the camera technology was ahead of the worlds....because of the world war, all the engineering of aircraft went to motorcycles, that's why it took off in the 1970's with 4 stroke technology and Honda's CB750. 1st disc brakes, inline configuration and big power with 750cc. Honda made motorcycles before cars and everyone knows how reliable and powerful they can be. Best flowing heads in the auto world. Motogp Champions too. The biggest manufacturer in bikes based on volume. Big fan due to being of quality parts, paint and fitment, reliable, user friendly controls and resale value is better than all the big 4: Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha. Other brands may be faster, more powerful and more technology, but overall nothing beats a Honda (motorcycle based opinion) sorry for long rant and bringing bikes/Honda into it.
Americans laugh on Civics with their mostly fart sounding engines but please show me an American 1990's engine that is friendly for city driving, reliable, getting really good MPG and power figures of 100 HP/litre (B16 for example)
American engines of the time were undescribable pieces of shit in comparison, so laugh all you want.
Wymiatacz Plays I could name some LT1, LS1, Ford 5.0 as a matter of fact both LT1 or LS1 both we’re capable of getting up to 30 mpg while maintaining good power and torque. Calling them “indescribable prices of shit” is a lie there’s a reason why people love the LS small block. As a matter of fact some of the JDM cars you love have been LS swapped. Silvia S14/S15, RX7, Miata, etc. As far as reliability Again LT and LS wins. The engines were also physically smaller than the Japanese engines(RB26 2JZ). As well as maintaining the strength to be just as powerful. Don’t bring up Hp/liter because it’s a useless argument and silly to compare cars that way because a small block Chevy still produces more power and torque while being almost just as light. You my friend are what’s wrong with the car culture. Just being a hater and not knowing the facts. Go ahead and do some research next time before making a fool out of yourself next time. I’m not laughing at JDM cars I’m laughing at your misinformed statements and ignorance.
Alex K not anymore unfortunately
Omie Boriboun America had performance cars way before japan did in the 60s and early 70s. Ever heard of the muscle car era?
Alex K I’m not it’s just the truth and it’s clear that you’re biased JDM car lover who hates anything not from Japan.
Nunca causaron muertes ni accidentes, Gracias a ellos fueron inspiración para muchos corredores e igual Videojuegos Que muchas de generaciones han disfrutado... Gracias NightClub
Digamos que la causa de su separación fue esa (accidente)
En verdad si que causaron un accidente que resultó en un fallecido. Iba en una moto y fue atropellado, si mal no recuerdo. Tampoco recuerdo si hubo más de un muerto. En todo caso, después de ese accidente disolvieron el grupo y nunca volvieron.
@@jaguar_time6130 lo del accidente en realidad nunca paso, el lider del equipo en 1995 dio una entrevista en la cual le contaron sobre un accidentado de su equipo y el dijo que no tenia idea, en 1999 el gobierno de japon los tenia en la mira y como excusa para evitar problemas, crearon la mentira del accidente de 1999, la banda nunca se disolvio tampoco, si no que se enfocaron en carreras de circuito y time attacks, hace poco hasta invitaron a todos los miembros antiguos y actuales a una fiesta para conmemorar los 30 años de los mid night (porque no se llaman midnight club, si no mid night)

well drift is something everybody can get into, it's relatively inexpensive and easy to practice, a teenager could have a drift missile and compete quite easily, that's why it's so cool among young people and has really a community type of vibe, top speed feels so elite, the costs, the risks, it makes it so fucking cool

I think that RX-7 was sold on jdm expo a couple of months back if I'm not mistaken
how much?
you probably are as the rx7 was mass-produced, that was a popular color, the backstory can't be verified except by the original owner, and 50 other reasons.
FDについてるスクートのリアスパッツ最高にかっこいい
Remember, these cars can push over 300km/h reliably for tens of minutes. They are the definition of a monster
Diesel 🗿☕
Remember rx7 ain’t reliable at all but I agree with all the other jdm cars!
@@psychoaceclap6402 they actually are EXTREMELY reliable, specially for the wankel engine
These guys knows how to tune, improve and maintain their cars, the wankel with that type of care is a reliable monster (remember mazda won lemans with the 787b not because it was fast but because it didn't break down going 100% balls out during all the 24hrs)
@@aitor9158 rx7 isn’t reliable that’s why most of them need engine replacements every 40k-200,000km. Also they need premix and they have shitty economy even a lot of 600hp super cars have better fuel economy. Rx7’s are shit for reliability and never mind that they have over heating issues, interior falling apart etc. so yeah don’t even say the rx7 is reliable. My Mitsubishi Lancer fwd manual 2017 limited edition I own has 170hp prob the same as the rx7 all I do is oil change every few months and it’s good to go nothing is falling apart that’s what you call reliable. My car is prob as fast as a stock rx7 anyways.
@@aitor9158 yeah but the 787b had major reliability problem the rest of the season 🤷♂️

Why in the hell hasn't anyone made a movie about these dudes!? They created such powerful cars for their timeline that the world took notice. Hell, even Rockstar did a game after them.
and in gta5 when they've made the Elegy Retro, it has a reference on the back bumper that says "bayshore" refereing to the wangan street racers
For those for are wondering. Yes this is completely illegal in Japan 2019, but we can still do this. Best place is "Tokyo bay Aqua-line" early in the morning. Unlike America, there are no cops on the street. At suburban area, we see police car only about once a week. (I see police cars more than 5 times a day in US) Also, they don't have a speed gun or radar system. They have to chase your car and check your speed in order to pull you over. So, as long as you check your rear view mirror frequently, and watch out for unmarked police cars, you be fine. Also, watch out for "orbis" (speed camera) too.
i also do the same. i live in Alabama and they're aren't that many cops around where i live but before i speed on a straight road, i first drive on it and look around to make sure that there aren't any cop cars pulled over and then when i reach the end and the coast is clear, i turn around and floor it back over 100 mph lol. oh and also make sure that they're aren't any traffic because 1. i don't want to put nobody else in danger, 2. they could snitch on you, 3. they could be undercover cops
Finally something worthwhile watching here on UA-cam.
Making the video go faster while driving and adding normal speed sound tracks over it is clever... for the 90s...

0:48 that lens captures the sense of speed perfectly holy shit
You mean exaggerates the hell out of it with it's mega death lens fisheye. This is what I've come to realize about driving/racing videos: people judge how fast someone is going or how hard they're pushing based on the lens used. If they use a more honest, narrower lens people complain they weren't pushing it, but if they use these crazy mega death lenses people think it's the fastest thing they've ever seen. If you've ever flown in an airplane you went as fast as these guys before you left the ground, now think about it, did it look that fast? No.
Ahh the 90s..When the RB blew up before the Rotary...WAIT!! WHAT??!!

Обожаю Японские машины! Мечтаю тоже купить себе какой нибудь JDM :)
Переплатите раза в 3-4 дороже из-за налогов, законов и бюрократии, далее будет дрочево с зап частями, т к даже в самой Я ребята закупаются всем подряд, как только ненужная вещь всплывает по закрытым, своим каналам. Зап части больше не производят и найти их в приемлемом состоянии становится всё сложнее ( недавно смотрел ролик, где человек обо всё таком рассказывал ).
Тем не менее, если вам удастся обзавестись такой машиной, вы автоматически обязаны поддерживать её в лучшем состоянии из-за возраста и особого статуса этих авто в массовой культуре.
Так или иначе, вы будете приковывать к себе внимание всех вокруг.
