This car is not going anywhere the rest of its life, a garage queen for sure

[@MrManBuzz]

Indeed. Which kind of annoys me how many rare parts were wasted on this car. Yes. Wasted.

[@Andreasy2]

It's really sad if you think about it. Bet it's gonna be locked up, sitting pristine as it is in some collectors garage never to be seen again in public.

[@furryroadkill]

@@Andreasy2 I am 100% behind preserving and maintaining such rare and special machines in immaculate and road worthy condition but it is truly sacrilegious to not drive them as they were meant to be driven.

[@vangattan]

@Arturo Orozco My dad still drives his 1 of 10 A80 Supra lol

[@wills.junks7]

Well that aint worth it, keeping this for the garage. For once, a rare car like this needs to be pushed to its limits. Track it, not keep it in the garage

[@SQUIZZLER24]

It's honestly crazy to me that there were not only new, in box parts available for this car, but that these guys were able to find so many of them to make this car factory fresh again. Seriously, hats off to these guys, this is what dedication to your craft looks like, and it preserves incredible and iconic machines like these into the future.

[@racer_x3572]

I’m honestly in awe at the attention to detail that you guys gave to this 400R. Absolutely stunning.

[@mugensamurai]

These guys must have a whole warehouse of salvageable used parts.

[@HNRichard]

Nahh, most owners usually would keep the old parts for spares or just for keepsake

[@roostertailspice2482]

I'm currently restoring my R33 Skyline GTS-T. By far not as special as this one, but still a childhood dream come true. Seeing a video like this makes me super excited to realize how far I've come, and how she will eventually turn out. Thanks for this great video, detailing a 400R would be a dream come true and a total labour of love.

[@maxmiller3847]

Gilberto Santos maybe original price, not current day price... try to find one anywhere near original price.

[@StephenThomas08]

Definitely more mate.

[@jarsky]

It would have cost more than that......i've been buying parts to restore my R33, and some of these parts they have are ultra rare and impossible to find....most of them you have to go to suppliers who have hidden stock. even just all those small interior pieces like the center tray, arm rest, shifter surround, etc...youre talking hundreds of dollars per piece...let alone headlights, spoiler blade, bumper, bonnet, wheel, etc....I bet this cost more than an average GTR just in parts price alone.

[@evilflowx]

you mean as much as an entire r34.

[@damienong1462]

This client is smart af. He restore everything back to original, after 5 - 10 years. Resell it for 3x or even more

[@macalla1996]

This is my opinion but you guys need to join forces with five star car stereo! For y'all's restoration to work and making the automobile look extremely brand new honestly I haven't seen a show on the Internet or TV that would match y'all well besides Overhaulin and trick my truck but they have nothing on you guys that's just my opinion! I'm also sorry if I did comment on this video before but deep detailing and the great length of the extension of what you guys go through is just simply breathtaking there are no words to describe what you all do but I'm glad y'all exist! :D

What can I say? This restoration was fantastic. There's just something about this video that really stands out, other than the car of course. It might have been the working environment or something, but even that was nice. The car looked amazing when it was restored. I'd definitely love to drive either one of these or an R33 GT-R / GT-R VSpec. I can understand where you come from when you say that installing the shift knob is extremely satisfying. Just being able to add that final bit of touch to the car is nothing short of incredible when you've done all the hard work.

[@joevanseeters2873]

These guys are the "Maestro's of Magic" when it comes to vehicle restoration and paint perfection. If I ever got a car that needed restoration or bringing it back to "like new" condition, I would seek out their services for it. That older NISMO badge in blue looks incredible. I wish Nissan had continued to use that older style badge, which in my opinion, looks WAY better than the modern NISMO badging. When they do finally come out with a Nissan "Proto" Z (or 400Z, whatever they are gonna call it in production form), they should definitely use the older style NISMO badging on it. That would be the "icing on the cake" so to speak.

[@ayrtonm7907]

Just to put things into perspective, that oil cap in box as shown goes for 800 USD... silly I know but it's supply and demand.

[@Syncopia]

Right? Isn't that the sole purpose of a car?

[@5800junker]

@@Syncopia Not these. Rare vintage mechanical artworks like these become collectibles and museum showpieces decades later. Not every car is worthy, just the iconic cars that seemed to mascot the eras they were built and released in. This car already had its time being driven rough and well. If it can retire as a magnificent specimen of its lineage, then it's worth it for it to be maintained carefully. Used only for car shows, car meets and other special events, artworks like these are to be transported enclosed in trucks and not driven about daily. That's not why one does a restoration job that would cost upwards of 100k. Besides even as an investment, this would eventually reach the $400k mark, maybe more. I love that about automobiles.

@@Bertgarrpin it got shit on because the r32 was a big jump. it was Godzilla. it won everything.
