Absolute dream car, even the gtst are bad ass. Great vid 👍

Love the 32 shape wh

[@mrcaps1971]

The real unicorn Godzilla's are the very few that were Australian delivered by special order. 30 odd years ago, the ticket price was around $115k. I'll never forget my mates brothers burgundy R32 GTR Skyline and the day he picked it up brand new from the local Nissan dealer in Sydney. She still has pride of place in his garage. Such a beautiful car.

[@RossReviewsau]

That’s awesome! Well deserved spot in the stable.. monster car

[@cjjarv]

As a young fella saving to go overseas I worked at small telemarketing firm in Melb trying to sell the first 100 (all black?) to select customers on Nissan's books. They had beautiful brochures - wish I'd snaffled one... Loved them ever since tho at the time who could have known what they'd become...

[@pete508]

Hey Mate,yeah I'm jealous alright lol of you driving around the beautiful hills of Japan in a R32 GTR having a blast,just great memories you & your family will cherish forever Johnny.I'm sure you'll be back there again before too long,ok man thanks for the great vid loved it.

[@RossReviewsau]

was an amazing day this one! wish i was back in japan again!

[@2theCore777]

The HICAS 4 wheel steering only actives after about 80 clicks & they only turn 1 or 2cm so it's hard to notice but you can see it when activated !✌

[@aaronmatuszny8856]

Mine activates when reversing out of my garage...no kidding

[@giovannitodaro589]

Hey jono what a great spot to drive an R32 Pretty cool experience I bet!!!! Keep it up mate.

[@RossReviewsau]

Thanks mate! Was a really awesome experience

[@re20bt]

Also, 「わ」on the plate is for rentals👍🏼 Awesome vid mate! So mint!

Cheers 😅 yes I did rent it for the day

[@patrickmarcello5103]

[@RossReviewsau]

Was really great

[@kevinsummersford4112]

One of the first skylines I first seen and loved one of the best models out in that spec even thoe there are great models this for me is the best model and I remember from the grandturismo game series that the R32 GTR Godzilla came in gun grey metallic that be the colour I'd go for just my thoughts 😆

[@DATT0]

Remember the Wheels magazine naming it Godzilla. Mines black too. 👍🏼

[@RossReviewsau]

Love the black colour 👌🔥

Love it.

[@PhantomXR8]

I didn't really get the Skyline 'thing' until recently going for a ride in a late model one. I now get it!!! They're great cars...... You know..... A lot of people say that Godzilla was banned from racing in Australia but that's not really accurate. The modification of Group A Touring Car racing in Australia back in the early 90's had more to do with the grass root supporters bleeding blue or red blood for the Ford(Falcon) v Holden(Commodore/Torana/Monaro) battle and Ford re-introducing the V8 to the Falcon range of cars. It all just made so much sense to create the new series which ultimately became V8 Supercars. BTW, the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 had a better strike rate in regards to race wins than the Skyline. The Sierra didn't fade away during the participation of Godzilla either. In the last Bathurst race for these two makes, the 1992 Great Race, Dick Johnson put his Ford Sierra on pole . He also hounded the Richards/Skaife Skyline all day and was in fact the first car across the finish line at the end of the race. Due to a certain rule, the Skyline was awarded the win(it had crashed out on the last lap). The only car banned from racing in Australian Touring car racing was the Aussie made Ford Falcon GTHO Phase 4. A damning newspaper article by Evan Green influenced the Australian Government to 'persuade' Ford Australia not to release it, otherwise Ford would lose Government fleet sales. One production Falcon GTHO Phase 4 and three race prepared Phase 4's made it out of the factory and still exist today, except one of the race versions. Touring Car regulations in the early 70's were then modified with Group C being created. I'd like to see you review the 1 of 1 Production Falcon GTHO Phase 4 Ross. Keep up the good work mate. Enjoy!!!!

[@vortex925]

My first motorsport memory is of the Gibson GTR, I geeked out over the specs as a teen imagining how my dream car would be.

[@RossReviewsau]

They were truely mental🤣🇦🇺 Aussies sure know how to get a car going!

[@vortex925]

@@RossReviewsaumaybe a small understatement, when the only thing to stop it looking like just a Sunday drive for them was to be written out the rule book completely 😂

[@gab80y]

Bucketlist moment! What rental company did you use? Maybe do a dealership vlog while you are there? Keep the videos coming! Enjoy

[@RossReviewsau]

Definitely a bucket list moment was called mr hiro out of Osaka japan

[@epictrailbuilder.65]

nice video

[@RossReviewsau]

Cheers

[@darianistead2239]

Very nice👌 I flew from VIC to QLD to buy a very nice black r32 gtr, had cash in hand and upon landing the owner said he'd taken a deposit on it that morning. I was so pissed off, I found the first thing I could buy that took my fancy which was a black S8 FD RX-7 (still have it and is on my channel).. Gtr owner hits me up the next day to tell me the guy pulled out of buying the car and wants his deposit back, I told him I'd purchased another car (with photo attached) and politely told him where he could stick his🤣 Still going to get me a mint black R32 one of these days when I've finished a few builds and have the room😏

[@RossReviewsau]

damn that story hurt to hear.. but the FD! they are really great cars also.. you would have a pretty epic garage if you added the 32 in there! both legends of japan

[@avonrastonar]

Yes bro, the OG !! The R32 is timeless. It'll always have a place in the Strat O Caster F××k Yea files

Thanks

[@mahangaberryman6763]

U should do reviews of non exotic, sport, luxury cars... Can u review a Toyota avensis 2005 wagon?

[@RossReviewsau]

I wish was so hard to find cars here

[@2theCore777]

I remember in the early 2000's nobody wanted these & they were 25k lol. I can't believe I chose an R33 GTS-T over this for the same price ! 😭😂 Just goes to show how lucky Australia was to get all the JDM cars back then before the USA got their hands on them ! It's only when the USA started to import them that the prices went crazy high and ridiculous !✌

[@darianistead2239]

Early 2000's?? longer than that bro, even when I moved to Australia in 2013 you could pick up a decent one for 17-25k

[@2theCore777]

@@darianistead2239 Yeah early 2000s bro ! You are not the authority here big boy ! 😂

[@darianistead2239]

@@2theCore777 Are you simple?? I didn't disagree, I said longer than just the early 2000's, they were that price and cheaper in New Zealand, Australia and Japan til the mid/late 20-teens little boy.. I don't need to be the authority on it, just telling you how it actually is..

[@Twenty_Six_Hundred]

What's there to say about the R32 GTR that hasn't already. They're awesome and a real drivers car. I was fortunate enough to take one for a spin when my brother used to import cars from Japan. Always wanted one since but they're out of my budget

[@RossReviewsau]

Yup always was a dream car of mine! Amazing machines

[@GTRFREAK17]

My "attainable dream car" when I first played Gran Turismo and got a used GTS-T, the current prices make it questionable though - think it's worth it? Keen to see your perspective of a Dodge Viper too, they where my original dream car as a child.

[@NZSUBZERO]

Hey mate just wondering which country you got the tattoo from on your right arm??

[@RossReviewsau]

It’s a NZ tamoko I’m part Māori

[@JaayDogg010]

That bloody clutch fan!! Was it running warm? As it sounded like it was always engaged giving that constant fan noise

[@RossReviewsau]

It was VERY hot in Japan! Humid n close to 40 degrees

[@JaayDogg010]

Aah makes sense

[@spaghetti5038]

​@@JaayDogg010clutch fans are always running with the car on.

Love the car. I’m lucky enough to own a 34GTR but I love the young 32 haha

[@RossReviewsau]

Wow very lucky.. I was looking for a 34 in Japan but wasn’t lucky enough to find one

[@carlgarratt2241]

I owned one of these in Melbourne 2007-2009. It had a nice 320kph nismo speedo and went all the way to 9000rpm. I woke up my hungover workmate in the passenger seat......We were doing 263kph topped out on our way to work down Westall Rd Clayton 4:30am haha! Good times!

[@RossReviewsau]

Damn that sounds killer! Good times

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Good times unless you hit a power pole or an innocent motorist.

[@Bondmaster007]

No words for this one. Except wow.. Jealous. Driving one in Australia would be mad. but japan as well. Once in a lifetime.

[@oldfashionedwrx3574]

where can i find jdm cars in japan and what cost roughly? Im planning a holiday there now

[@RossReviewsau]

tokyo or osaka mainly and will vary from $150 to $500 a day

[@gruntabro1]

I don’t think any 2nd hand import GTRs coming out of Japan would be stock

[@RossReviewsau]

Very rare to be stock🤣

[@meanddrew4364]

How were you able to get into Japan? Work visa?

[@RossReviewsau]

My wife is Japanese 🇯🇵😉

[@nevetsreyd4688]

The trouble with the skyline is that there are so many knock offs and p-plater fast n furious lookin beaters that it’s near impossible to tell a shit one from a good one when you see them on the road.

[@RossReviewsau]

Kinda true lol but a real enthusiast can always tell a GTR when you close👌

[@P2DAPIPE]

Brought my gtr r32 pre-covid for 21k. Went through 2 sets of factory turbos and thought what a peice if junk and sold it for not much more. Shame on the ceramic wheel turbos ☹️

[@RossReviewsau]

🥲 damn that sounds like a steal but to bad it had issues.. RBs are known for not being cheap engines

I’m yet to drive a 34 🥺

[@nlikos180]

No 0-100? Oh well lol R32 GTR mostly like around 4 second in 0-100

[@RossReviewsau]

I tried but the roads were to tight and the tunnel was the only option yet I couldn’t get a signal then for my dragy.. I would say no we’re close to 4 tho.. felt like a 6 second car honestly was factory tuned tho

[@bigpoppapump430]

No 0-100?

[@RossReviewsau]

I tried! And trust me no we’re I could do it.. only place was the tunnel and then my dragy wouldn’t connect
