Jason Cammisa on the GT-R: Hakosuka, R32, and R35 - Vintage Motor Trend Ignition Full Episode 176

[@dln.sweeney]

This channel is really testing my productivity and self discipline

[@zhnkbr]

Same

[@infadelakainf]

It’s just like I can’t stop watchin, I forgot what I was doing or supposed to do

[@maverickphantom005]

Yep… it definitely does that

[@edwardching827]

Haha, shoot, same here.

[@GeekSHO]

Jason tried hard to let us appreciate the amazing sounds of these cars, but whoever did the sound editing felt the need to cover it all up with generic orchestral blats. Thank you for sharing this, and for remedying this issue in your Hagerty Revelations series where we get uncut audio ecstasy at the end of each video.

[@googleleavemynamealone9145]

I was gonna say it reminds me of those old old Top Gear videos and those sound balancing. Still love cammisa for it tho, its still cake lol

[@oussamabendakir1453]

yes the sound guy massacred this masterpiece

[@RSCamaroBlack]

The sound guys were doing Jason a favor, because he’s clearly off here. Maybe he was bribed someway?

[@ctdieselnut]

@@RSCamaroBlack you don't think the first car sounded healthy at full rev? For a 2L i6? From the 60's?

[@zhnkbr]

Haven't even watched this re upload but oh my god i cant even begin to explain how deeply engraved into my memory this video is. From you explaining how the Hako has the most turbo lag of any naturally aspirated car ever to the 6 of us that would care if you explained each tiny update the r35 got each year. This was one of my favorite videos of ignition EVER and I am soo soo happy that I can watch it again!

[@zijadjasarspahic5275]

Jason makes THE BEST car content in the world, and i was really missing these Motortrend videos from 5-6 years ago.

[@towelies4884]

Agreed. They were the best at the time. Now to me they are terrible and I don’t bother watching any of theirs.

[@Wicked_RotF30]

Would like to see JC and CH work together. Also would like to see Mat Watson and Rory collaborate.

[@TermlessHGW]

J.C is absolutely on fire now. Right on! Keep up the amazing content.

[@papasquat355]

Cammisa is absolutely the most important car guy on YT right now. Keep the content coming.

[@the-boring-car-guy]

I don't even have to rewatch this video because it lives so hard in my memory. Pretty much only because of that original skyline.

[@ozenakkoyun3539]

Damn i have looking for this video for ages

[@nishantpatil1247]

I remember claiming the one month trial on MT just so that i could watch this ONE episode

[@a.m3687]

What is amazing is that every generation of the GT-R was legendary. They were all created by Nissan, who were always broke or near bankrupted. I don't care what do you think, I believe that the GT-R is the best sports car model ever made. Better than the 911, Corvette, Viper, NSX and literally everything. The R35 did go racing, and It was successful as its predecessors as well. In Super GT, it won 7 out of 9 races in its debut season. It's the most successful car with all time most wins, podiums and titles. It won the FIA GT championship in 2011. The biggest GT3 championship, the GT World Europe Endurance Cup in 2013 and 2015 as well. The GT-R is an all time classic for me.

[@michaelcarretero2713]

So glad you brought them all back to youtube

[@doggiehowzer]

Wait till you hear how this engine howls to 7000rpm. Drowned by brass section that drowns out the melody of the engine and exhaust. 🤦‍♂️

[@nl3712]

My only complaint about this vid

[@ctdieselnut]

You would think a show made by car guys would get this point...

[@AntoniusTyas]

R35 GT-R actually do race. 2009 was its first venture with the GT-R GT1, but that got VK56DE. Still, pretty competitive against the likes of MC12 and C6.R GT1. Then came the Nismo GT-R GT3 with the 'normal' VR38DETT. That competed since 2012 up until today in many GT3 races, winning Bathurst 12H and several other races along the way.

[@Official_MikeyT]

Don't forget both generations of the silhouette racer GT500 GT-Rs!

[@Turshin]

@@Official_MikeyT everyone seems to glance over those cars for some reason. I seen an actual R30 on the roads here in Detroit and almost lost my shit.

[@Stormtrooper-oc4vn]

@@Turshin Detroit would have them. Since Canada is really really close by

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

BoP formulae don't count. I struggle to even call GT3 a competition - it's just BoP officials handing out participation trophies to anyone who shows up, no matter how shite their cars are (looking at you, BMW).

[@Leftfield71]

Great video, three of my all time favourite cars and they all look and sound amazing. The R35 won the Bathurst 12 hour in 2015 and was celebrated by the fans, unlike 1992 when the R32 last won Bathurst and the drivers were booed and had full cans of beer thrown at them.

[@zackklein2225]

Good episode!

[@alanprobsten2858]

Jason Cammisa is hands down not even close THE BEST and most knowledgeable car journalist/KZbinr in the world. His videos are always top notch and educational. You will always learn something new, I don’t care who you are.

[@Hunting_Party]

This video. One of the reason I became a r32 gtr owner lol

[@DIVEnSOME]

If Camisa wasn’t such a goofball I wouldn’t watch him,one of the best motor journalists around.

[@seinsmeld13]

Thanks for the great video Jason. Cheers from a Canadian fan.🥶

[@petermartin9494]

That Hakosuka is perfect. Too many of these have been degraded by stupid paint/spoilers, etc.

[@WyattWill]

This one of my favorite automotive videos of all-time. Chris Harris and Jason Cammisa are the best car reviewers imo

[@joshuaabel5721]

I wish this AMAZING guy would do motorcycles. Man. Such great stuff!!! Jason and his team does excellent work. Better than anything I have seen actually.

[@steveyj75]

If you haven’t already found it, you should check out a channel called Fortnine for incredible motorcycle content. Keep the rubber side down, dude!

[@Shiggybaby_]

Thank you for brining this video back!

[@nl3712]

Will never forget my first sighting of a R34: while using a pedestrian crossing in central London in the late 90s. Literally stopped me in my tracks.

[@川上久喜蔵]

Very beautiful Haoksuka, so nice!

[@ethanallan1254]

I remember being really sad when I couldn’t find this episode on motor trend a couple of months ago, now I’m happy

[@akshaysankarshana2405]

3:20 That's the most insane, intense, deafening, screaming, amazing sounding GT-R I've ever heard. Just too good.

[@ganjd1148]

The release of all these videos has kept me so happy these few weeks!!!!!

[@patrickstar8480]

Jason, thank you for re-uploading these.

[@ch13t]

I have missed this video so much.

[@PaddyMcMe]

Jesus how much does one of those Hakosuka's go for these days? A group of my High School mates were all Japanese car fanatics, mostly since here in Australia they were cheap, powerful and easy to mod, between them over the years they had a had Mazda FB RX-7, Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-T, R33 GTS-T, S13 Silvia, S15 Silvia, 300 ZX, Suzuki Mighty Boy (Imagine a Kei Car version of a Ute, it was great fun), a 1991 Mazda 929 (Mazda Flagship using the same platform as the Cosmo, seriously handsome & underrated car for VIP enthusiasts, seriously looked like a Japanese DB7), a Toyota Soarer (Another criminally underrated car with two insane engine options), a Subaru Liberty Spec B (The Adult's WRX, that 3.0L Boxer sounded TOTALLY unique and incredible, even different compared to Porsche Boxer Engines. And my best mate even had an honest to goodness AE86 in Panda colours, which he eventually cannibalised selling it for parts since bizarrely it was worth significantly more that way. Even back then my best mate would obsess over the old Prince cars and the Hakosuka GTR but for one is good condition the prices were huge, I can only imagine that now they're crazy.

[@hawkshadowoseanacy5171]

That original is really fantastic looking, and, obviously, sounding. Make it again today!

[@Derik_h17]

And just when I thought KZbin couldn’t possibly take anymore of my time, JC goes and starts his own channel with all of these glorious videos! 😃

[@whiteComett]

Thank you so much man for uploading this. I remember when motor trend pulled it off youtube and then there was nothing comparable to rewatch. Thanks a lot! Such a treasured footage of the Hako and the R32

[@elmerhot]

Best car content on the internet- knowledge, passion, humor and great production !

[@TheFunkyair]

Each time I watched this put me in the box to the sky

[@1986wehttam]

The c10 Hakosuka is my dream car. One of the most attractive cars every made in my opinion.

[@RamjeProductions]

Man the obnoxious music is horrendous. Other than an excellent cinematography and the great Jason. Adding "music" to this video should be a crime... I'm sorry. KZbin should give us the option for multiple audio tracks. So creators can provide automotive videos with and without background music.

[@nl3712]

This ^

[@perrosdemaiz]

I’m so happy about this content! I think I followed that car across the Bay Bridge a couple years ago. I was like “I know what that is!”

[@mathewhumvee]

The only thing quicker than the R35 GT-R is Nissan voiding your warranty for "Driving" the dame thing. But man o man would I have fun voiding it though hahahaha

[@King_droid4908]

Tesla plaid a 1000 hp ev can't even keep up with the r32 gtr in the mountain roads the gtr will disappear

[@Stormtrooper-oc4vn]

@@King_droid4908 yup too heavy

[@Webzterr]

I always fire up Gran turismo after watching this channel... always

[@RajGoswami4]

Maybe the LC500 episode from motortrend too?

[@KevGoesRiding]

Fanstastic video but i think the sound engineer needs a bit of tutelage That part about how nissan schooled porsche was gold lol

[@Laguna2013]

Since we know the gear shift noise is not like that, then how are we to take the leap of faith that the engine sounds has not also been massively distorted? Great stuff, Cammisa

[@flat6fever680]

I can only pray that the shifting did not sound like that. I actually have seen videos of people destroying their cars like that but I think Jason knows better. 2013 LS #701 SBY

[@ChrisJones-yh2os]

Love that Miata color. It’s so beautiful. Perfect for the car. I miss my ND1 so much, but I just didn’t fit in It.

[@maverickphantom005]

Jason and Derek might say something, but this Hakosuka GTR might be a better sounding engine than the Busso Alfa, arguably

[@vincenzogreco3370]

Fantastic history lesson! This channel is amazing...thanks Jason!

[@IronKnok]

Harris, Catchpole, Cammisa. Yep, the top three Auto Journalists in the game.

[@infadelakainf]

Jason commentary makes these videos amazing and oh yeah the cars

[@NobleOmnicide]

Damn great video, Jason. Keep up the awesome work.

[@sudha4128]

Jason, You were not wearing seatbelts when you were driving the R32! Great video! of all the cars.

[@RonJobbins]

jeezus, that Hakosuka is gorgeous. I didn't know it existed.

[@AgrsvMediocrity]

I like the close you did on this one

[@deantreml7772]

Hakosuka, drool, drool. R32, loomed large on the "want" list. R35, only one of these I've driven, way too proficient for my liking but rather wow anyhow, much like these reviews... Great shtick!

[@admarigraf]

great video as always ❤

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

So good to be at the genesis of a channel you know for sure is going to reach millions of subs... ;)

[@charl_k]

I watched this some time back and am so glad to watch it again, and again. The GTR is stuff of legend. My only gripe is the omission of the R33, my personal all time favourite.

[@alejandromonterroso7709]

Actually (lol) the GT-R did saw racing since birth but the engine was never used for racing but rather an built from scratch version of the chasis...and that still wasn't dominant at all. The R35 is great but it is thirsty for victories.

[@dcarts5616]

The modern GTR impresses me very little. But I truly LOVE the older ones and videos about them!

[@GeneralCaleb01]

the only skyline I will ever love is the Hakosuka, 2 door, leviathan. It just looks cool and I don't see my self owning any other Nissan sports car.

[@gmain1977]

Great video, R32 is the one for me, racebred unlike R35. But the GTR name is very iconic and R35 blew many cars away when new costing 2 or 3 times more.

[@pabloalejandroperez]

Glad to see you finally have your own channel! I can give up all my streaming subscriptions, this is all the content I need 👌

[@Gamertrix117]

The two best motoring journalists are JC. Jeremy Clarkson and Jason Cammisa!

[@lionatelier]

My 2006 Peugeot 2.0l has 177hp naturally aspirated. They did race the R35 GTR and it won the Bathurst 12hr.

[@danziger69]

Jason is awesome as always. I'm an R33 fan, but still a great video...

[@zohircherifi5616]

I would do anything to drive one of these

[@usmanmarwat2054]

The sound that R33 makes is just something that won't let u sleep everytime you close your eyes. That is an addictive sound that should be treated as a drug.

[@heyitsfranklynn168]

I am one of those 6!!!

[@islandfd3s]

Amazing how much the S20 sounds like the RB26 once the RB26 has an equal length exhaust on it. If you've never heard an RB26 w/ a proper exhaust at high RPM, I highly recommend it. One of the best sounds in the world.

[@andrbk]

there was a hillarious video where Jason and filming crew dance to "Kung-fu fighting" song.

[@ArvineHarry]

Hey, in the R-32 GT-R with that HICAS system, put a toggle switch on i think was wire #54 on the ecu connector, and above 140Km/hr interrupt continuity of this wire and the engine rev limiter disappears....with this put this gtr against another car from around the same era, the lotus omega/carlton....do a video making comparisons....🎉

[@BaseSRKI]

more of this please😎🥳🤜

[@maverickphantom005]

Ahh this episode!!!!

[@chaseteter]

Anything with a b16 and 2 passengers is a runner up to most turbo lag in a NA. I had one in an Integra gsr sedan and it was jarring how dead it was until it wasn’t

[@Kofi.86]

Masterpiece

[@0o0ification]

2:22 Dangit Jason, I’ve had a crisis

[@jerrybarrax5618]

Thanks for the automotive history lesson! I didn't know about the R32's track dominance. That puts its reputation into perspective for me. But the last segment's grip about Nissan not taking the R35 racing causes a little bit of confusion. In the recently released Gran Turismo film, the 'real race cars' that the sim drivers are trained on are Nissan GTRs. Viewers are left with the understanding the Nissan was competing in some actual race series with this car. Did they just fabricate this for the film to boost product placement?

[@akshatjain7005]

God the c10 looks beautiful

[@toris71]

Hey Jason, were the driving scenes in the original GT-R filmed in my home country, New Zealand?.We have a twin country if not!! Love your videos! Thanks so much

[@JasonCammisa]

No sir, Northern California!

[@martinaktarrahman2999]

C'mon #JasCam kill the KZbin Scene !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jcdentonunatco]

Its a common misconception that the RB26DETT is indestructible and strong like the 2JZ. They actually aren't that reliable, and they can handle less power on stock internals than their sister 300ZX VG30DETT engines. Great video though!

[@HaidarAL]

Top Gear is dead throttle house and Jason are the best cow. It’s just fun to watch but Jason does it best.

[@LudwigWilding]

"Take it racing" he says ....conveniently ignoring the SuperGT GT500 champion from 2011. The GT-R was raced. Just only where it was relevant and where it's strengths wouldn't vanish due to regulations. But I would definitely love to see a racing series that let's manufacturers do stuff their own way without mandating so much that all cars fall into the same concept as they'd be uncompetitive if not. And another voice for the "listen to this car" only to be bombed by music. Why would anyone think that'd be a good idea? Anyways, I'm rambling. Still enjoyed the video a lot and it was great fun.

[@Wicked_RotF30]

Would the original GTR be a good head to head match up with the E30 M3???? Maybe even the Roberto edition?.

[@idokwatcher2062]

30 years separates them M3 would blow the doors off it

[@wheelspinmanager]

32k worh of watch ? It should be milions

[@SilverScarletSpider]

The biggest question is if Jason Camissa loves these old Japanese engines and cars so much: as evidenced by his raw pleasure/joy in this video; then why does he and his cohost on issimi only worship old crappy unreliable italian sports cars “for their engines”.

[@MrPizzaman09]

Can someone re-do this video with the background audio turned down from 11? You can't really hear the engine sounds.

[@seethruhead7119]

Jason could you please add the original airing date or just year to the video titles.

[@MambaTime]

keep going

[@jradish]

Do you still have the ignition episode with the vantage v12 s? the one with the dogleg manual. Every episode with you is gold

[@MindDezign]

Very Car Guy enthusiastic. You have equaled Chris Harris ,in Sports Car Reviewing. And that is a feat, on to itself. Because there are many Copy Cat Chris Harris wannabee's out there. You bring you own THING to the table. So BRAVO! This has to be the best GTR video to Date

[@SandroBarbakadze]

And now, i want r32 GT-R

[@dereklaverne7608]

**UPDATE** Nissan unveiled pretty much the same damn car we've been waiting for, for 14 years.

[@quantaccount4337]

Love the video. I thought the S20 engine in the KPGC10 used triple Mikuni-Solex carbs, not Weber. Not sure why the S20 engine in this video has Weber carbs - are those original ex factory or aftermarket?

[@JasonCammisa]

Correct, Mikunis were OE. From what I've heard (and remember) the Mikunis are damn-near impossible to make run correctly on shytty California fuel.

[@quantaccount4337]

😂 Hakosuka deserves a drink of VP C9

[@vcdrny]

We are supposed to go full electric. The era of cars like this is over. All the cars from now will be refrigerators with different body kits and badges. I'm just glad that I got experience so much car culture before it died.

[@jn114]

Jason could you please record the thing with a 4k thing :D appreciate it 🤝

[@scrutch666]

Every time people talk about turbo engines and turbo lag , i start to think about my s2k . Under 5k nothing nothing ! :)

[@ksl125]

Yo! You cut the dancing at the end

[@michaelh.9866]

The first GT-R certainly looks like a 510 from head on.

[@iamjulianromero8773]

What a car
