Can't stand when people say built not bought... Like you car came in a box of 10,000 pieces like a model car kit and you built it from scratch
+Tony Durham lol
+Akio's Warehouse of Hobby lol
Bought not built
He didnt build it
Dude stfu smart ass you know what they mean when they say built not bought if you are an idiot and don't know it means they put on the mods
Say "1000 horsepower GT-R" one more time and I'm gonna lose it. WE GET IT MIKE 😂
The funny thing is it only around 920 HP... Lol
+Breaking rc But it's over 1000hp at the crank
+Sean Klimczak with,nothing to prove it though
+Breaking rc
Only, lol
+funbus yeah only because 920 compared to 1,000 is a big difference...
"Why buy a 1000hp gtr?"
Cuz he wanted one
And who wouldn't?you save money and time, time is money!
Atom M you don’t know how the previous owner built it or how he drove it. That’s usually the issue
I still have one question, how much horsepower does it have?
Not sure, i dont think he had told us yet, ill tell you if i find out
Probably around 30 - 50 hp i guess
+LMATTY sounds about right
+Shabb3r I don't know man maybe 20 horses power, that's a lot of horses to be pull8ng your car man
none there is no horses pulling the car I think. unless there is 1000 microscopic horses with strings pulling the car
could you do a dyno test to prove it's a 1000hp gt-r?
The cool thing about this, Mike; is that it's what you wanted exactly, it was a cheap alternative to achieving your goals. It's a well built car meaning you do save that 70 grand, which can all be spent on making the car better. Furthermore I'm a rotary guy and want to build a 3 rotor at some stage in life, if I went on classifieds and found a 3 rotor rx8 with a good history, I'd obviously buy it and save the money of dropping the three rotor in my standard 8 so I would be able to achieve my goals much more quickly.
Great purchase Mike, glad to see someone doing that well for themselves!
+AMightyPanda thanks man! You sound like a smart man
rotary is garbage lol
+Joshua Estrada Cuz you can't afford it?
most affordable garbage out there
I just want a 1,000 HP Honda Accord or a WRX. As I said before happy for you Mike.
Isn't this the same GTR that TJ Hunt drove?
yea
yes
Yeah
yes mam
yea
Are u gonna let phat dong drive it?
lol asking the real question here.
PLEAAASSSEEEE!!!
I think sum ting wong will get it first
I get it Mike. It's a smart move. I did the same thing, I bought a Mach 1 that already had a supercharger and supporting fuel mods. About a year later I had a fully built motor installed and cranked up the boost. That cost me a good chunk of cash ($11k!), but I still saved like $8000 already by getting it with the blower installed and that only had a few thousand miles on it.
Dude. You drive a 1000hp gtr... Fuck the haters lol most can't even afford wheels on that car.
+Str8RippiNSVT LMAO
lol when he said "are you listenning or you just staring at the big ole roll cage in the back" :D
I was just zoned in on the roll cage the whole time he was talking hahahaha
I really respect your decision mike, especially where your coming from with how busy you are, and accepting the maintenance cost and so forth. I can see why you purchased this car, the car looks and sounds great, keep it man, repsect 💯
I wouldn't have bought based off the fact TJ hunt drove it
you should get a liberty works body kit that would be sick
Great points here man. Kids talk about how great the GTR is because it's cheaper then other cars in it's class, but they can't wrap their heads around the fact that the car has to be maintained also just like any other high-end performance car.
Mike, cant wait to see what you've got coming with primal and nike/oakley, congrats buddy!
+Kyle Butler Thank you sir!
+SmurfinWRX will you ever wrap the gtr
+SmurfinWRX now that you have the gtr will you bag the subie
congratulations man, you have been taking about getting a GTR for the longest time. enjoy the corn
Please leave the calipers the same color when you do the brakes. Love the way they are
Feel like you answered everything i was interested in hearing, My only worry was you had bit off more than you can chew ' Repairs and upgrades ' but clearly you are more than fine, Congrats on owning your dream car! I envy your work ethic Mike.
How do you go about finding a used and already tuned vehicle? GTR or anything? and what are the steps you take to start saving or planning to purchase?
Thanks for explaining everything. God bless ya man. All the best and many happy miles ahead of you.
I love this guys journey of becoming a millionaire, and then bought his dream car. It has only motivated me to do the same
Hey Mike, when you get the brembo's you should get the bronze coloured one it will look clean with the grey on your car, if you are keeping it grey
honestly maintenance is not that bad. if drive the car as weekend car only, u won't need to change the tires or brakes for years. oil will be need to change regularly Tho.
Hey Mike how did you learn to run your businesses?
love the car mike you made a good decision. I got one question is it me or is your friends gtr louder than yours.
It's a great buy! Save your time and money to build it yourseld. Just curious, would you reveal how much you paid for it ?
I'll put my hater hat on for a minute and explain from the point of view of an ex-R35 owner and someone who has been around R35s forever why I wouldn't have bought this GTR. I think you'll find that after a little bit the "high hp GTR" novelty will wear off and you will be left with something not very pleasant to own. Sure, it will be always be fast, but having 1000 hp in a street car usually ends up being excessive and unusable on a daily basis unless you are non stop ripping around like a fool and driving dangerously. Even in stock form the GTR can sometimes be hard to fully unleash on public roads without getting yourself in some trouble. What this means is that, if you are a sensible person, for the most part you will drive this car normally and eventually realize that you paid a bunch of money for something that a) is a potential money pit due to it being so modified b) worry about due to its extensive modifications (not from the financial perspective but from not wanting a broken 65K+ car on your hands) c) could have went a different route that was more sensible and brought you more pleasure. In addition the CBA GTR you bought in stock form can be had for ~50K and as I am sure you already know, having 70K of aftermarket parts really doesn't do much for the value of your car. With that said, there are some technical reasons I would not have bought this GTR as well mainly related to CBA vs DBA vs 2017 GTR. In no particular order: 1. CBA has a low quality interior, it wears quickly and shows how cheap it is 2. CBA nav screen is very low resolution 3. CBA exterior is somewhat "soft" looking compared to the DBA and the new 2017 (but that is personal preference). 4. CBA doesn't have the CF rear diffuser 5. CBA head/tail lights are already starting to look dated 6. CBA is quite unrefined, loud, rattles, noisy etc. DBA is better but the 2017 is nearly perfect in this arena. 7. CBAs are aging and dropping in value faster than I would have thought they would have. With that said, I think it is a smarter move to buy a lightly used DBA GTR as they can be had for 65 - 78K depending on mileage. Another option, which is the route I am taking, is to wait 12 months for used 2017 GTRs to hit the market and pick one up for 80-90K. You will have a nearly new, more aggressive and modern looking GTR with warranty, all the interior, exterior and mechanical updates. You would be able to drive the thing very comfortably, without a worry in the world and still be able to sell it a couple years down the road with very little depreciation and no extra money invested. In addition, no major changes will be made between now and 2020 when the R36 is released/announced making this the best and last R35 Nissan ever makes.
The Weekend Driver true. Its fun if we can set up a street made race track. At the end of a 3 day period of setting this up (with permission with the city government to close down roads) we probably be making more money than spending for the meet. My grammar terrible but why not? Alot of people want to go fast
True info pal
Man I was excited to be able to afford a 14k Mustang that already had a turbo with exhaust and traction bars, but to see you come across this kind of fortune?!? I'm excited for you Mike and hope the GT-R turns out great for you! Plus I hope to never come across that beast because I would get destroyed
I see no issue with buying a car that is already nice, than tweaking. Nice buy, drive it as much as you can.
"Re-vamp the build" is how you should've put it brother. Great video!
yeah brakes are very important i would think the gtr brakes wouldnt get too much brake fade, i had a honda back in the day old civic with k20 swap after doing a couple runs the brake were almost useless
can I still squeeze my way into the back with the road cage attached ? lmao
Some people value their time working to buy a car they want, and others value their time with a wrench in hand. I daily a 76 jeep and if i didnt purely enjoy working on my car i wouldnt own one like that. Big difference in what makes a car guy, a car guy.
Can't wait for the wrap that's coming for it Mike!
Sorry but not a car related question but what kind of camera do you use for vlogging? Been trying to get into vlogging and need a better camera.
OMG I remember in your earlier videos how you used to always talk about one day buying a gtr..... and now you have one ☺. Good job dude and well deserved.
Does that mean you will have a new youtube account because you are not driving the wtc???
Dude it doesn't matter if Everyone is talking shit about what you just did. It's your money and your dream. Most people would love to have a car like yours, That baby is beautiful man!
no one builds their own gtr anyway. if they "build" it, they just buy their own parts and send it to a shop. and i imagine it's cheaper to do what he did than to buy even a car of the same year that's stock and then buy the mods on his own
I can already imagine its like a dream driving in a GTR. I'm probably never gonna get the chance to drive one.
Put that sucker on some rotiforms and bag it. Accuair e-level...
And a Milltek exhaust... They're only from the UK but if you can get it imported you'll be impressed. On an RS7 Twin Turbo V8 it sounded beastly. A lot better than what the GTR sounds like and the GTR sounds orgasmic.
Hell yeah
which rotiforms?
I have no problem what so ever starting with a built car already. I would just call them extra goodies on top of the cake. End of the day it definitely is a much smarter decision, saves a lot of time and money, and it does achieve what the intended goal is for. Wth go for it! I'm sure people out there want to watch a build for there own selfish reasons. I have friends like that. At the end of the day, they don't pay your bills, they sure as hell not gonna buy parts for your car. As long as it makes you happy, I'm happy to see you making your dreams come alive, it's inspirational. Good luck!
When are you going to find the time to bag the Subaru? It's been a few months since they been in the box and wanting to see how it looks installed on your car.
Great Video and explanation Mike!
I was so focused on the roll bars and the sound. but then when you stopped, the car was shaking like "lemme goooo I WANNA EAT SOME CARS" ... congrats on it. LOVE GTRs
Theres a guy on my street that owns an R35 and a turbo MKIV Supra in South Sacramento. Its gonna remind me of you since you were from here.
man this is what hard work and dedication gives you
@Aaron, Exactly how many cars have you built? The reason I ask, is because the people who say "Built Not Bought"(myself included) aren't fanboys of other people's rides enough to pay a premium for them. We don't necessarily agree with others who have built the "same" ride or how it was done, and most definitely don't want to be buying someone else's hack job. IDGAF who you are, what you've worked on etc. I know that people who "build" 1khp cars don't do the same things I would do to achieve that benchmark. Call it hacks (like me) or "easy workarounds". By building your own machine and really taking the time to learn about it and do it, you know EXACTLY where the weak points will be, and have enough knowledge about the machine that, should you encounter a problem, YOU can fix it YOURSELF!!! I'm an 80s kid and have built EVERY vehicle I've owned but 1, and the only one who's given me wild troubles was the one I didn't build myself. When it comes down to having a "modified car", It has been, is, and ALWAYS WILL BE Built and not Bought!!!
havent watched you in a while. im suprised your wife agreed to this and you actually bought the gtr lol. dreams do come true :)
congrats on accomplishing a dream, feels good reaching something youve always wanted
Wait how many hp dose it have?
He said 1000hp
+buk lau wait how much?
I'm currently having my GTR "built" by a local reputable shop. The owner, builder is an awesome dude and so well respected in the car community. But....If I would've turned back the clock and known what the used High-HP GTR prices were now, I would've bought a used High-Horsepower GTR. Why?....The waiting time.
sweet car dude! would you ever go wide body on it? like a liberty walk kit or Rocket Bunny if they made a nicer looking one?
I understand your logic complete. For fuck sakes it not a honda civic. Building a gtr cost a lot of bread.
right?!? but all these morons think money's not an issue, even for well off people.
I have not seen him do a complete pull in that thing.
+Braxton Trittipo I already explained why in many videos.
What's the odometer reading on that GTR?🖖
3 times in your radar? maybe u pressed accept cookies 😂
Having someone else build the car is the same as buying it... You do you, I don't think you'll get much judgement from people because taking apart a GTR is a pain in the ass. Most people don't know how much of a pain in the ass the car can be until one rolls into their shop. BUT you shouldn't even bring up the built vs bought thing, saying you will build it but in actuality someone else is lol
These new cars just can't give u the sensation of building a car from scratch
If the car is built by a reputable company and you can have it checked and it comes back in perfect condition, go ahead and buy it and save the thousands of dollars. If the check comes back with a lot of issues, then just don't buy it, simple.
How did you know I was enjoying the roll cage?
I want it. The Built not bought thing for me just means make the car YOURS. which is what you are doing. KUDOS
congrats on your success bro i can tell you own your own business..... ill get my gtr this year maybe in a month ....
I look forward to seeing all the new mods coming together for this monster.
Mike, Do tint your window and rear window. Do a sticker something called "Primal Driven" to stick on top of your windshield.
You are still having someone else build it, if you were gonna do the work your self than it would be different but you are having someone else build it for you so it's still bought not built. Built means you do all the work your self, which you are not.
Are you gonna go over 1000hp if you upgrade the turbo's?
do you have the dyno sheets? also why don't you do something with the roll cage , I know its a track ready car and everything but can't you just put thicker and stronger steal on the edges so the back seats are actually usable?
Some times even you wana build one but when things like that turns up you just can't beat that bang for the buck right~~~~~~
When you buy a used car especially when it's modified you buy that other person's problems. But since you build cars and you have a lot of time on your hands to build cars then it's all good. Time and Money pick one.
Q. How much did you buy it for?
Q. How many miles on it?
im happy he got the gtr...that g ride is sick with it! 👍
why dont you build your own GTR ?
+greengreensio I discussed this already
+SmurfinWRX I need come up lol
+SmurfinWRX i was just joking brother
mike you goin thru a mid life crisis man ?? Dont worry man your gonna be a great dad (only kidding man do you!)
Does it make a difference? You won't care as soon as you make a pull in a 1000HP GTR
When he said that we probably wasn't listening because we were to busying looking at the roll cage in the back... I was actually looking st the roll cage..
I would say smart move bad ass car for the straits and the twistyz and now just personal customization. 👍🏼
Are you going to wrap/paint the g-ride ?
Mike! Love your videos!? How many miles are on it?
I don't see anything wrong by buying a 1000 GTR, - the time, the mods all ready installed on that car is a steal !
How do you know it definitely has 1000 hp, do you have dyno sheets to back up what you are saying the car has.
wait so how much horsepower does this gtr have? I didn't catch it in the video.
1000hp
1 HP
10 HP*
100 HP*******
+Jackaboi900 1HP*********************
Sorry I couldn't quite hear you.. But what exhaust system do you have?
My thoughts buying used is smart you don't take the massive depreciation hit of buying new. 1000 hp is completely insane for a street car, driving it it has to be better than sex right?
At 8:29, Mike, you say that you don't know what numbers we're looking at. Ironically, we haven't been given numbers to compare.
I don't understand why people ask him why he bought an already built car. Who doesn't want his dream car, but better?
I aint even an import guy but if ANYONE got thrown the keys to a 1k HP GTR... c'mon... you can't say no...
how'd he know I was staring at the roll cage?? lol
The real question is WHY NOT buy a 1000 whp GTR...congratulations on the car Mike!
How much did you pay? Did the mods add or decrease the value of it?
As a girl who knows her cars and is also a young entrepreneur. I cant stop watching your videos. New Subbie✌🏼️
+Gerilyn Lisette thank you!
i see what you mean when you said have to set your mind in the repairing and/or changing parts....when i bought my evo x i never thought i would be playing $600 for one headlight but again when you love cars it doesn't really matter... you have to keep in mind that parts cost alot of money and yeah a gtr is a diffent ball thatn a evo
good work on the gtr again bro!
OMFG YOU ACTUALLY GOT YOUR DREAM CAR!
*I havent been watching your vids for a while*
"built not bought" often means...... that I am 100% responsible and accountable for the unreliable noisy pile of shit in the driveway that I am always fixing LMAO
if the roll cage makes the back seat useless why would they not remove it?
Why are gtrs so popular? I honestly don't get it. At car meets there are so many gtrs. For half of the msrp you could get an evo which is also awd, lighter, and manual, build it up to like 800whp and walk gtrs all day. If you want a v8. You could get a c6 z06, slap a supercharger on it with a few bolt ons and be way faster then a gtr.
What tires are you running Mike?
I see hard work pays off. I would buy an already built car too because it's a deal you can't pass. Now what are you going do with your other car?
Are you going to put a splitter on it seen the fact you now have a splitter company? And are you going to add like a new wing or cannards or skirts?
What is the point of buying a car that's already built, if your going to rebuild it anyways? You say that somebody has put 70 grand into the car but that doesn't really matter if your going to just replace the things hes already done to it, again. I don't know all the details of how much you paid for it or what your really going to do to the car. I'm not hating I'm just asking a reasonable question.
+Alex Rhodes look at the exterior of the car. It's $20k+ in parts alone. I went through some of this on the video.
+SmurfinWRX I understand just personally I would have gone for a stock one with lower miles. nice pickup though. I don't think the stock car needs any more power IMO.
