Real Life Initial D GT-R Experience with Fun2Drive Japan - Mt Fuji, Hakone Skyline, Hakone Turnpike

[@deganellis]

Oh man. Can you believe I lived there for 4 years and never did this? Mind you, not sure my 6ft 6 frame would fit all that well, but that original GTR... ridiculous!

[@DaveZalstein]

Wha? That's crazy man! Plus 6'6", you'd of fit into something! Next time I guess :D

[@rhysrhysrhys]

"a minter it was not" is an understatement! It pulled hard right under brakes when I drove it in 2018!

[@DaveZalstein]

Haha, sounds about right. Not sure that's meant to be the 'unforgettable' bit @rhysyeomans...

[@jaydesignsstuff7062]

I can't say enough about how great these guys are. I drove the yellow RX-7 for the 1 hour drive and they were great. Beautiful roads to drive on. We didn't have the sunny weather, but driving through the tiny mountain roads in the clouds and fog was an unforgettable experience.

[@DaveZalstein]

Couldn’t agree more @jaydesignsstuff7062! Glad you enjoyed it and I hope the video brought back some memories🥰 RX-7 is a great choice too🫶

[@LisaWestgate]

Great video Dave! Stunning views AND a coffee and sausage restaurant! 😮

[@DaveZalstein]

Haha, worth the trip for sure :D

I’m going in Oct so I’m waiting till the day I can book, I’m going to book that blue nismo r34 hopefully looks amazing

[@DaveZalstein]

Hey @johnnyappleseed4166, you're gonna love it! Hopefully the weather obliges, but regardless, I'm sure it'll be unforgettable. Take care and cheers for watching and commenting 🙂

This must be from a while ago considering some of these cars are no longer available for hire in the fleet? Was here 3 weeks ago hence the curiosity

[@DaveZalstein]

Hey @andrecab1125, yeah, as mentioned in the video, I was there in 2019, so some cars remain on fleet and others may have moved on. Would still highly recommend it if you've got the time and coin - huge fun and great people :D Cheers.

[@escoplayer10]

Are you allowed to record? I saw another video where they said you can’t?

[@DaveZalstein]

Hey @escoplayer10, it can vary, but generally the use of camera equipment is restricted in the cars, which is why footage from the day is limited and mostly shot on iPhone. It's more about the driving experience than living life behind the lens anyway. Cheers.
