Is this how to Properly Build a GTR?! - Slip Angle Spotlight

[@TheSlipAngle]

What do you think of TommyFYeah's GTR? Does it live up to the name GODZILLA!?

[@DriveItRyan]

The Slip Angle having ridden in this monster, I most certainly think it does! Hard to explain, but the rb26dett delivers power in such a smooth, yet violent way.

@@CarOnStands you are comparing a drag car to a street car

[@bustedpiggybank]

Ive never been a big fan of Tommy but his cars are pretty sick.

[@mmavado]

Its a weapon! Govt gonna try and regulate it some day!

[@Rdlfxs]

Tommy: "I've never flexed" That whole fucking car is a flex. The way Tommy meticulously plans his builds and executes those plans is phenomenal.

[@jonathandoe69]

It's cool how he went to Japan to build the story behind the car too. He covers all bases.

[@Rdlfxs]

@@jonathandoe69 Yeah dude! That was rad

[@davabran]

I mean he zinc plated all the original hardware lol

[@SlaterGator]

"period correct" but not aussie spec.

[@maxge109]

J Slater better then Aussie spec it’s so clean and he’s not even fully done re doing the whole car in winter again

[@svKam]

Such a beautiful car. This is what you should show someone when they ask how a GTR should be built.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Agreed!

Thank you for sharing your awesome car with us!

[@mattwiser7982]

I don’t think I’ve ever felt acceleration this brutal in any car from a dig as I did while filming this car... The way this car puts power down is unreal!!

[@petrolheadjapan5970]

This is the definition of “less is more” It’s so subtle and well put together with period parts, that it gives you this rare experience of watching the car/video over and over again and each time discover more changes and mods!!! Well done!! Beautiful AF !

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Ughhh I want the Miata to be this level of perfection

[@johngorgis]

Do you still own the z32 300zx that thing was sweet

[@jonathandoe69]

*v-spec*

[@TheSlipAngle]

Lol. An N1 2.8L RB26 was like 35k alone for the engine if I recall

[@abadibi]

@@TheSlipAngle i could use that money to pay for college 😂. But compared to that. At least he kept the 2.6 internals stock. 35k for an extra 0.2 liters. Might as well go 2j at that point.

[@abadibi]

@@jonathandoe69 as if that makes a difference to the already high prices of r32 gtrs 😂. But yeah, V-spec is awesome.

[@dan.r9220]

If you watch his videos this is not inexpensive, and astronomical to some. He probably has 60-70k into this car.

[@seansmile]

In my opinion it’s perfect.. I’m interested to see his “stage 2”

[@R31995]

Hks 2.8 he bought like a year ago 👀

[@timtran5451]

Richard Snow he sold it after he sold the s15

[@bawjawmcgraw2232]

The video and sound quality is on point, nice backdrop as well. I like his build and strategy behind it.

[@gav240z]

8:20, that equal length piping is what my RB26 car is missing. I really want that shriek from mine. Just sounds super aggressive and angry.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Sure does!

[@TheRealhiphop91]

The King of GTR's

[@ayowser01]

This car is SO clean. I've never been a big Nissan/Skyline fan, but this one speaks to me. I love that all white on te37 classic look. The noises are fantastic too 🎼

[@jake5058]

A lot of people get mad that tommy takes so long to build his cars but that’s how they turn out so perfect. Perfection takes time and I’d gladly wait a year to watch a car get built and turn out like this than watch someone build a car in 2 months and have it go through 4 engines

[@vincebastier9815]

That's an intelligent build with each parts, modifs and upgrades having a real purpose and most important, this one can be driven everyday.

[@mperformance3502]

Props to the owner, he seems like a true enthusiast with good taste. Quality mods!

[@jonkat323]

Huge respect for this build

[@Master_Psyper]

Like Tommy always says, this thing fucks! I absolutely respect Tommy in the pride he takes in these cars. So sick.

[@SkylineUSA32]

Nice to see the car built for what it was intended for. GT-SS best street set up you can get for response and power! Combined with the 264s, well thought out! I have been working on these for almost 20 years, and have owned 15 GTRs, so I know them pretty well.

[@ecarasig]

cool to see f yeah get interviewed about his build. Nice job.

[@rbfrmda6ix177]

such a clean gtr one day i hope to own a car just as nice as this one

[@patrickstar9161]

Well done video. Tommy's car never looked so good

[@TheSlipAngle]

Thank you Patrick 🤙

[@gav240z]

2:18 That's an Autech R32 4 door with RB26 (but no turbo, NA only). Very rare now, but a cool car and 4 doors are cool.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Good eye!

[@gav240z]

@@TheSlipAngle I've got an Autech 260RS which is a Nissan Stagea wagon with the RB26, I've become slightly obsessed with Autech cars as a result. The R33 4 Door GTR is another rare gem. I believe Tommy is into this kooky shit too :). By the way I saw your FD review videos on KZbin a while ago and thought they were spot on. I've also got an FD but it's shat a water seal, may rebuild and go single turbo, but I do like the twins also!

I had one in 1998 it was a stage 1 mod 430 hp 15 psi standard turbos exhaust tune and the standard cams turned whatever that meant.it revved to 9000 rpm all stage 1 did.it did 11.9 @ 112 mph quarter mile.it was king of the street back then miss it

[@ThePandasian34]

Everything tommy did to this r32 is how i would want my r32 to be, with the exception of a single turbo conversion with a Precision 6466 just because of ease of maintenance on the Hot side and newer turbo technology. Everything else is perfect

[@un_average_gang]

Yaaaa, you can't find a cleaner gtr build. Tommy has that attention to detail 👍

[@bayonetta3469]

If it was Grey/Black would be the cherry on top but damn love it, looks pretty time correct. This in my opinion is how you should build one! Props man

Damn she snazzy looking. Good ole Tommy fuh-yay-uh (there's a reference) keeping it clean.

[@TheSlipAngle]

She sure is!

[@TheCheapshotter]

This is how I want my GTR to be, super responsive. Getrag 6 speed one day maybe lol, for now the 5 speed will do for now

[@NissanBroke]

No wait time for power. It ruled the circuit not the strip. I agree, exactly how Godzilla should be.

[@terryosborne272]

In Japan and other countrys it ruled street racing too, Just because it did not do it in the US and it was not a Drag car. There is some thing wrong with it. Well the other JDM did that the Supra Mk4 ruled drag. To me Skyline has to be twin turbo nothing else.

[@TheSlipAngle]

Goals for sure!

[@NissanBroke]

@@terryosborne272 Yeah, a big turbo skyline defeats the purpose in my opinion. Unless its a GT-TT/ST, then go crazy.

The R32 looks odd on TE's I remember back in the 90's BBS LM's and Work Meister S1's were the dominant wheels on the R32.

[@jmpcrx]

My r33 gtst had 350bhp and I thought that was feckin fast (I paid £2600 for it bout 8 years ago, wish I kept it, man that was cheap), that must be a beast. They sound sooo mean.

[@TheSlipAngle]

A true Godzilla indeed!

[@BurpleRX7]

I would say 4-450hp in the RX7 FD is the sweet spot for a useable street car, any more and your not putting it all down, And remember it’s at about 2600lb in some variants from factory, play around with that and it will be on you quick, Skyline has the 4wd though and that works well In that platform. R32 and a FD would be my 2 car garage, Evo is awesome for styling I just don’t love them and the R34 whilst being the legend all Americans are dying to get hold of I don’t think lives up to the hype, it got bloated and heavy,,,, R32 is the daddy. All Tommy’s builds are done to a incredible level, I don’t get the whole mirror thing or the constant pursuit of fitment perfection but everyone has there vices
