The $500,000 R33 GTR - Built By Legends Skyline

[@dino_dc]

What car would you do this level of restoration/work to?

[@shoot17me]

My s15 with the same philosophy on a much smaller budget. :D

[@madmike5144]

every my dream car, but my own taste 😁

[@EklipsAutomotiv]

My E28 😂

[@Arrozconchopsticks]

My E90, with maybe the same power level. 650hp might be too much for me lol.

[@batman9592]

Datsun 610

[@jgerry2002]

This build is on par with something like a Singer 911 in terms of finish, but isn't over the top in terms of design retaining that total factory look for what could be said to be an "OEM++" build at its finest. This will be an incredible daily driver. Hopefully this won't be hidden away in a garage forever when its delivered.

[@dino_dc]

Yep pretty much. The best part for me is that every detail has meaning, its all so well though through

[@leonjacobs7717]

Love singer but mines is a BIGGER DEAL BC of GRAN TURISMO DAYS 😂

[@JulianX3__]

that interior color is insane

[@edugj23]

There's really no way to not be mesmerized with such detailed work. I'm particularly amazed by the exhaust system. Sound and high performance, without abandoning the consciousness of making a street legal product. The catalytic converter is there, I don't usually see people having that in mind when tuning a car.

[@dino_dc]

If you want to register it in Japan it’s a must

[@MrRubenixa]

The color and execution of the exterior is just insane, second to none

[@charlenicholas4180]

The guys at BBL are true craftsmen. Their builds stay true to the originals but have everything in a restomod that anyone could dream of. I prefer the R32 build, but the R33 build is also spectacular. Will there be an R34 build?? I hope so. Keep up the great content Dino. Keep living the dream.

[@dino_dc]

Yup, 34 is on its way…multiple ones in fact

[@JuergenGDB]

The car is like Artwork. What a Masterpiece!

[@Touch_G35]

Man, that is so dope you were able to film Niikura san singing the build. 🙏🏽

[@vwbr3nt]

A true masterclass in craftsman. Holy dream car 😮

[@SharkAttackSkinder]

The word "perfection" is objective in many ways and i rarely use it. But i believe this car is it.

[@lukasusilovic299]

Exactly these kinds of builds are what I want to do after I’m finished with uni!!!! Thank you so much for bringing us soooo close to the culture!🙏

[@kelseyharms1737]

I love how knowledgeable and calm you are I like listening to you talk. Really enjoying these videos so far, thank you.

Thanks 🤙🏻

[@CarsAndPablo]

Great detailed coverage of a magnificent example of whats capable of Japans top tuners collaborate! One thing stuck out, the rubber clutch line!?!

[@mackross]

This is the stuff of dreams man. You always find and bring us up close to some legendary JDM. Cannot wait for more!

[@dino_dc]

Thank you, glad to hear you are enjoying the content!

[@angeloah]

What an amazing treat to wake up to this morning. Mines has always been a favorite to me. So rad to see you get a go with the BBL version of the r33. Super dope.

[@dino_dc]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JiSiN3000]

Nice! Mine's GT-Rs are still my favorites 🤤 Thx for sharing Dino.

[@chriscaro2677]

Ogni contenuto che porti è una certezza, emerge la passione e la cultuta per le auto in ogni singolo istante del video e la si percepisce tutta, sarebbe molto interessante fare un video analogo anche per una realtà come quella di Top Secret . Complimenti per il lavoro. 😊

Oh wow....and then he opens the bonnet (hood for you mericans) and that green...oh...wooooow!!!!! Thanks for showing us this beauty Dino!!

[@felixis81]

There's perhaps no comparable builds other than ones from Nismo Omori Factory, this is the ultimate bespoke R33 GTR from BBL & Mine's hands down. Absolutely love how you break down all the various components while examine the under chassis, so much details there! Superb content, you're consistently hitting it Dino! 👍

[@JohnPedder]

There are comparable builds, at least in terms of craftsmanship and power. These guys have endless amounts of money to throw at a car, which doesn't change the fact that this car IS amazing; but it's like those guys from UAE getting their cars built to perfection. It's rad and it's with a huge disconnect as well.

[@goodboy_aqee58]

thats what you know of,, Matchless crowd racing, Midori seibi, Autotech tsukada, Phoenix power just to named a few, doing work exactly like this ground ups build capable off.. those name just havent emerge yet in this youtube era,,, in real world they are amongst the Takumis

[@JohnPedder]

@@goodboy_aqee58 Exactly. There's a bunch of guys here in Australia doing ground up restos and with better RB motors than this one. The typical excuse you see for low HP from Japan motor builds is that 'we are chasing stability, not power', when the fact is that the difference isn't in other countries chasing HP over stability; but that Aus and Usa chase HP and stability equally, it's just that Japan doesn't share the same interest as us. But that's a convo for another time

[@dino_dc]

Thank you! Love to nerd out on the details 👌🏻

[@dino_dc]

Who in UAE builds GT-Rs to this standard?

[@emilagtr]

Don’t forget about my GTR build Dino 😄. Another quality video, content feels fresh and natural, not forced like most KZbinrs covering the scene in Japan

This video was mint, how you getting the founder of Mines to certify your build? That is absolutely mental!

[@WesM757]

Great work! Hopefully one day i will have a shop that can do this type of work on 300, 350 and 370z. Also the silva's

[@gafrers]

Fantastic. 👏👏 Great video as always. 👍👍 Grazie Dino

[@dino_dc]

Prego!

[@eurotom288]

It’s actually very similar to my R33 GTR, I have the Tomei RBX 2,8 lt with V Cam System and the Nismo 6 speed Getrag manual gearbox, I also have the Nismo Carbon Fibre Rear Differential, the car has around 85 percent of the Nismo Catalog of parts fitted, and has 700 hp at 1,6 bar of boost, I love R33:s, the Mines car is gorgeous guys, take care and Drive safe.

[@miguelcollado5438]

Wow Dino, you are Killing It with these videos! Wish you set this all up 8-10yrs earlier, lol. I know SPEEDHUNTERS was a more important of a community to build at the time. Thank You Again for these GEMS.

[@dino_dc]

Thanks man! Happy to hear your are enjoying it! I don't think about the past, only the future :)

[@bluetitan20]

Great video, I think Mine's is right up there as a place where some truly amazing cars have been produced over the years.If I ever had the money, I would dearly love to visit at some stage. Its kind of hard to get your head around the costs involved though. I'm not knocking BBL or Mine's, the amount of detail, investment in research and the time and skills needed to create cars like this will never be cheap. When I was younger, a good amount of JDM cars were relatively affordable and something you could see yourself owning one day. Now, to get into a lot of the iconic JDM cars, you literally need to be a millionaire, a real pity it has gone that way. Looking back now, we didn't know at the time, how good we had it 😉 Anyway, its still great to see Mine's going from strength to strength and the enthusiasm for cars like this only getting stronger.

[@dino_dc]

The cars are worth what people are willing to pay for them, if only we had the hindsight that it would be what it is today!

[@cacahueteasesino]

I'm in love with BBL's cars, they're perfect! Sorry for being a bit off topic, but I want to make you a question, do Mine's customer cars have the side stripes or are just reserved for demo cars? Great coverage Dno, thank you very much.

[@dino_dc]

The stripes are something customers have always been able to request 👌🏻

[@vtec73]

wow! sick build.

[@Chrisbreakscars]

What a car!

[@KalvinMalli]

Beautiful car! Ps if anyone is interested in watching a r32 gtr restoration. I’m doing one myself. 😁

[@ur1off]

Great explanation of the build..

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@cloud-ny5ux]

this car is fucking crazyyyy, with a price tag to match.

[@infiniteprojects808]

good to see doing videos again. only one big problem....... I would love to see you doing more videos 🤙

[@dino_dc]

2 videos a week for a while now!

[@47cristiann]

I want to see the restoration process on higher mileage chassis from start to finish as said in 13:00. 👍

[@azmainabrar697]

one day i wanna see a midori seibi coverage by you for sure

[@dino_dc]

Will add to the list!

[@Kinthenarcslayer]

Soooooo beautiful! 💕

[@Xboxracer1]

This car should get a 10 year MOT free pass, it's BRAND NEW ! (and improved) 😍😍😍 Also, to me this shows the JDM maturity, no longer do japanese cars need to be brash and over the top to stand out. It's actually understated and discreet. It's a "connaisseur" car.

[@doitwithproperstyle]

This thing is literal perfection! It would be beyond sick if they handed the keys to Keiichi Tsuchiya and Max Orido and let them flog it on track or touge!

[@dino_dc]

They have. Keiichi just drove it at Sodegaura last week 😂

[@pasigiri]

0:08 is it me or is that carbon fiber bluish greenish? Sick car BTW. Always loved the R33.

[@dino_dc]

Green tint yes

[@manishmkt]

Stunning but too expensive and definitely need wheel caps. One quick question - Is the green interior standard (7:36 Mr. Masa said customer wanted green )

[@dino_dc]

This is a bespoke build, so most of the details you see were requested

[@musarind2551]

Great video bro very interesting , what wheels are those?

[@dino_dc]

Rays 21As

[@patfast]

Currently have one of the shots at the end as my desktop wallpaper. I pray to be able to commission a car from Mine's myself sometime in the future.

[@dino_dc]

Nice! Likewise!

[@bfighter125]

You failed at getting a exhaust clip. Besides that, sick video.

[@leeroysam4518]

If you could swap the turbo for a supercharger, could you increase the throttle response. And would the exhaust note change.

[@dino_dc]

But why lol

[@leeroysam4518]

@@dino_dc I think it would be interesting too see, how the characteristics of the car would change and how it would effect drives style. For example 3 R33 tuned to (500hp flywheel) each. One single turbo vs twin turbo vs Centrifugal Supercharger.

[@ontec7139]

Wonder if the BBL guys remove or retain the HICAS??

[@dino_dc]

It’s there

[@Crossoak17]

sheeeeeeesh

[@easye47]

11:24 Said with much hesitation. An indication that the actual cost is significantly lower. Exorbitantly high prices are en vogue and one almost expects it in todays market in order to be taken seriously.

[@dino_dc]

Well it was honestly a not such great question on my part. We all know it's dependent on so many factors,, starting first with the base price of the car. In this case they started with a very clean example, so costs are what they are. And the build itself had many personal requests from the owner. Plus are let's not forget what Nismo charges for its resto/CRS packages? (look quick, it might go up with the start of the new month! lol)

[@pnutsrj]

What happened to your RS4?

[@dino_dc]

Sold it years back

[@GreedyJofficiall]

Im a huge GTR fan but theres no mf way it should ever cost this much

[@maiy8786]
