@RyanZumMallen do you think there will be a price correction in the next 5-6 years once the market is flooded with gtrs now that they are becoming legal or have we all missed the boat?

@@mapko15 it’s certainly possible, but I would say unlikely. In past trends once a car gets hot, it stays hot for at least a decade. Because of the quantity these are much more like the Porsche market than the Mustang/Camaro market

I enjoyed this show more than I thought I would, prejudging it from the title. I think the discussion was more broad than just the car. Ryan seems really knowledgeable and down to earth.

Just bought his book this morning after you mentioned it in the past podcast. Thanks for not spoiling the whole book! Looking forward to the read.

13:35 "That Mines Car" For those wanting the original 90s' experience, here is the video. It started with the dude looking down at the camera and ended with wanting a Skyline GTR: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ql7Vhnl8dtqUZqM Back in the day we didn't get the whole video like this, it was just the Mines GTR clip.

Finally up to date with podcast drops, and what an episode to arrive at. I'm very much a Best Motoring/Gran Turismo kid as well, and I've owned an R33 in the past and would some day like to again! Mine was GTS-25t, and it cost me £5000 back in 2007. I had to import it from the UK to Norway, but it was still under half the price of an already registered one at the time. Sadly it was stolen 5 years later, and probably dismantled for parts as the police never found it. Luckily for me, R33s still seems to be the ugly duckling of the family so they are still (relatively) more attainable. Will probably have to settle for another GTS though, or indeed going 4-door like Zack. With the money saved from not buying a GT-R, there's a huge budget for mods too. Definitely grabbing this book, it'll seems like a great read and as a bonus will look nice on my shelf next to my other three Skyline books :)

@TheSmokingTirePodcast Great book and an easy read, highly recommended. Awesome interview as always Matt and Zack, the best interview format automotive podcast IMO. Also the name of the book Ryan referred to is, The Automotive Gray Market: An Inside History by John B. Hege.

A number of people in Canada purchased R32, R33 and R34 GTRs for cheap and used them as winter beaters for years... The 10 year head start we had over the US really puts the current prices for these cars into perspective. And it's the same for a lot of the popular JDM cars. Many of the ones that come to auction were left outside and abandoned, because they just became old, used cars. It didn't matter how special they were...

15 years ago we had a lot of R32 GTR in Montreal. Some of them were rough. Very few left.

I first saw a "GT-R" in a scale model/RC car magazine in the very early 90's. Fell in love with the body style and box flares.

Matt literally can’t help himself, he has to interrupt the guest to tell his obscure story of why something isn’t his fault. 🤣🤣🤣

Last time he made an edgy comment he got an earful and had to apologize a show later.. So getting ahead of it makes sense..

I don't think a left hand drive GTR would have been some high volume savior for Nissan but it's possible that a rear wheel drive naturally aspirated version which in some senses is what the G35 was. Would have emerged earlier and made infiniti are more competitive brand earlier. Infinity was printing money with the G35 at the FX35 and they could have potentially started that even earlier as the j30 was a sales failure

In NZ where these were just cars it's been scary watching Americans going all in on a Nissan Skyline. My mum had an R30 in the 80s that replaced an AlfaGTV, but we went for a Schnitzer M3 as the R33 was to heavy like the 300zx. The obsession with Japanese culture and GTR cosplay is weird having lived through the 90s as a car person.

NZ is a unique place for cars " Ye brew me Ded hed a Moris Marina with a quad rotor, awd and active aero back in the 90s aye " LIKE ITS NORMAL lol

Have to agree on the forbidden fruit. The skyline has been available in my country since the R32. They had precious little respect here and their values have simply been driven up by North American demand. JDM rally homologation are the classics of choice. I will also add that there are no performance American cars I'm lusting after, as many as I've seen and experienced, so I guess I'm the exception.
