The deal was sealed but sadly it is off now due to Smokey ghosting Japonic and Masa. Such a shame honestly. He said he'll just get a GT3 RS instead

Aw, that sucks.

@Sim-wf4uu 2 года назад

Do you know any details on why Smokey ghosted them ?

@berkesezginer7704 2 года назад

@@Sim-wf4uu probably because with the ending of R35 Nismo production and prices skyrocketing they know they can sell it for double the price soon. Thats my guess. Appearetly he ghosted them for quite sometime, reading all the texts but never responding

Just realized something wrong with Nagata san, why he must ask the previous owner.. doesn't make any sense

Sweet tour. I bought a black R32 GTR from Top Secret and had it shipped to the US. I worked with Team Orange’s D1 driver to pick it up, add a greddy boost controller from his car and then hand it over to me at Ebisu track. Afterwards they helped put it on the transport boat and then I enjoyed it in Atlanta. The pictures of it were next to that red vending machine on the side of the shop at the beginning of this video. I also had a Suzuki Cappuccino at the same time so our garage looked like Initial D.

Time went on and I had kids and realized how fun a Forrester sti would have been as a family wagon. Unfortunately in the states they are hard to come by still one of the best sleepers though imho also how tf is there no dust in his shop. Everything is so wet looking

@TheAmigos62 Год назад

First off, im at 3:16 and i paused the video to go watch the first one. Second thing, i searched about Nagata's story and i don't really think he's a GENIUS. He's just a man with a passion, that left everything to focus on that, more like... obsessed with cars so much that he became good at it, of course with some talent mixed in it. But saying he was a genius is not correct in my opinion since he sacrificed everything, his work, his life and his sleep to cars. His effort and knowledge is much more valuable than anything, that's why he is so famous.
