Taking My Porsche 964 To Nakai at RWB HQ!

[@briteize136]

Your 964 currently looks very nice and crisp. Personally I would leave it as. But I fully appreciate Nakai-san's craftsmanship and creativity. The line up before take off was a pure treat!👌🏾

[@spike_021]

TBK would've been the way to go, especially after your feature on it. Takahashi-san is unparalleled.

[@RevikYoutube]

Dino, I think you gave the perfect answer when you said "I can understand why people don't like it, I do. So, there's no question for me there." As long as you like it, that's all that matters. We only live once, may as well do what makes us happy and enjoy it as much as we possibly can. I watch your videos cause they make me happy and I always enjoy seeing the amazing cars/builds/places you show us along with the people behind them and the story they have to share. ♥ If you do go the RWB route, maybe a Dino DC cutout like the 61 on the rear bumper might be an idea to consider. ^.^

[@davidbeverly3463]

I came to say the same! Do what makes you happy and you love cause we gotta live and enjoy life while we can. No one else opinion matters but your own brotha!

[@gawkzilla]

I'm not sure what's been going on lately with the internet having alot to say about nakai's practice on the Porsche, but to me it seems like its mostly come from the people who are unaware of Nakai-san's background in racing and his influence in japan. He rebelled and revolutionized what it means to modify and DIY in your own authentic style. Its not meant for preservation, but perseverance against what would be seen as a crazy thing to do to a stock Porsche. Can't wait to see the journey yours takes you on!

[@LuckyFruitRacing]

I have seen 2 kits being fitted by Mr. Nakai in person so I can see both sides of the argument. 100% it is a style, a culture and definitely a vibe, and I personally like the look of the completed cars. On the other hand the workmanship is unexceptional. There's nothing wrong with it as such, but it is very basic and unrefined work he's doing. A lot of it is "rough" as per the entire brand. People go on about how everything is done by eye and he's a master craftsman etc: 1. He definitely measures stuff. 2. Anything he does by eye is no different to anyone else who has honed a skill doing something over and over. I think people are just mad that someone with a bit of $$ who likes what he does would pay so much money for what really is a hack-job. But the people who pay for what he does are perfectly aware of that and they don't care so it's hilarious that others care so much. Porsches aren't exactly rare, and those complaining who obviously love 911s would 100% modify theirs if they had one. The whole situation is hilarious.

[@khamid1]

@@LuckyFruitRacing Basically. It is art, form over function. I would argue the line is drawn when chopping up a perfectly straight 930/964 for the sake of culture...but then there is this pesky thing called free will and all so 😅

[@Hiro-h7k]

so hyped too see this bulid ,RWB kits are sick but so are stock 964`s but ultimately you gotta build ,your dream 964 ,happy to see what comes of it

[@dino_dc]

[@michaelsummerell8618]

It'd be a shame to lose that clean look you're getting on your 964... I'd personally much rather see a clean, OEM+ style as personally, having seen the Rauhwelt conversions since before the Internet was really a thing, I can't help but feel it's been done and is getting played out by now... Just my opinion though and I'm sure it will look good whatever option you choose.

[@vangattan]

Lol

[@xxhotelcrazyxx]

You only feel that way because it's the internet and everything is saturated but let's be real. Rwbs are extremely rare. When's the last time you ever saw one in public on the roads? At cars and coffee? Probably never.

[@IamTheOppressor]

it's not even just RWB, there are so many companies/people cutting up these older 911s now that it's become cliché. It's getting to the point where just having an unmolested one is a novelty now rather than one of these wacky kitted out cars/restomods.

[@semjb]

I'd go for the RWB style. Naika"s story and you covering him for as long as you have is unique and I'd imagine, a very special relationship. that story itself is enough reason as why you should go for it. When he is no longer here, you may regret not doing it. just a thought...

I love Nakai-san creations...you should definitely go for it...regardless of positives or negatives...his creations are an enduring part of car culture - as are yours 😎

[@Matto81]

When deciding the direction for my car, I drove to a place special to me, shut out the world and just focused on the car and what I wanted it to be for me. It became clear very quickly. You do whatever you feel is right mate. Loving your work, content keeps getting better and better 👍.

[@devilvas]

About your car please keep it stock! Regards from Bulgaria! I imported a few 911 from Japan auction. 2x 997 Carrera, 2x 997 Turbo and 991 Turbo S. The car culture in Japan is amazing.

[@imaluigi9708]

What a day! Such cars! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing day with us. As far as your Porsche goes, it’s your car and you love what Nakia-san does. If you want the RWB treatment, by all means do it! Please continue to share your journey.

[@djdoriftos2ki]

i remember seeing my first RWB in person in 2013 at SEMA. Ruby Color at the Toyo Tires booth and it was a 964. Absolutely gorgeous car. You don't owe anyone to preserve the way a car looks that you own. I would do it in a heart beat if i had the means for it.

[@bluasterisk]

Nakai san originally just did his 930 the way he wanted, enough people wanted him to do theirs too. I think it's strange that some people get so upset about that. I think you should go for RWB if you like it, you've definitely been a great impact to where RWB is today and it only makes sense to go through with it. I see it more so supporting a friend and his work especially because you've seen RWB before how big it is today.

[@darren2346]

Keep the Japanese Porsche scene coming Dino!!…Looking forward to RWB updates

[@aaronfitzgerald8902]

I think if I was in your shoes I'd keep the car almost exactly as is. Sure it's not as low or race-styled as it could be, but I think there's a lot of beauty sitting there already, it's got great lines and in a way does have a bit of a sense of utility in it's current form, slender fenders and high ride height.

[@cbrnrdo]

A "narrow" RWB kit would be a great compromise. I would really like to see the manual conversion (and maybe some additional power) before the RWB kit is installed. You're going to need that to turn those giant new RWB-spec wheels!

[@smudger6461]

Hey dino. Please keep it oe, that little car is beautiful the way it is. A nice restoration and keep it rolling into the future. Don't cut it pal, no way back once it's ripped into that's it gone forever.. 😢

[@Shiba_Inu_Des]

Going RWB with your Porsche is a great move, if I were in your position, there’d be no second thoughts. Once Nakai’s time is over creating his work, I believe there will be no replacement and they’ll become valuable works of automotive art that can be passed down to generations.

[@N1CH0LAS007]

Midweek meet + RWB project 911 catchup with maestro Nakai-San Let’s go 🤙

[@chrback1]

You have to do the conversion, you got way more excited than most with the big wing gt3s and wide flared 911s. Just do a major photo shoot with the car in an epic Japanese location as the classic it is right now.

[@twini123]

I think that everything you would choose would look great on your car, but if you go the RWB route and for the racecar looks you should back it up with at least an update in the engine bay if not even more tuning. And it would be very cool to see other shops you covered in this build like garage TBK and maybe even their bumper.

[@PulpDogg]

Love those conversions. As a German seeing those random German words strung together on a car is always amusing - but the craftsmanship behind all this is amazing and a joy to watch. Can't wait to see your fully converted 964.

[@petrmiskerik]

About a RWB idea....there is A LOT of 911s. But RWB is so special, so unique, so charismatic piece of art...it won't leave anyone cold. I have no desire to have porsche. I have BIG DESIRE to have some RWB. I wish you the best of luck with your choice.

[@dino_dc]

Thanks!

[@quisbueno]

Given that you have been covering RWBs for so long and have seen the growth firsthand I think it would be great to have an RWB in your collection

[@davidboyce6427]

Thanks for taking us along Dino👍. Man what a good night 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@00111000]

What resonates with me was that Porsche resto-mod that you covered in Manila. If I were you, I'd go for that route but at the end of the day, it is your car, so do what you feel is right.

[@bayay_3046]

RWB is undoubtedly part of carculture. I personally like the looks, but the quality of his assembly work, or at least what he is proudly presenting online is something I personally could not bare on a toy car. I hope they do it better when there is time and not a 2 day insta trip.

[@JunEJ20]

Got to see Nakai san in the flesh at Griots Garage here in Tacoma not too long ago... definitely cool to see him do his thing 😎

[@muhammedazamrazali6254]

If you still need a RWB conversion, the early days smooth body will be what I would go to similar to Phil Morrison's RWB-Promodet 964 turbo. It gives the clean look, still retain RWB signature and makes it unique against other RWBs

[@watanabe-to2ou]

man just go for it, fuck it

[@atom999]

Man such a hard choice to go RWB or singer-ish route. But you go a long way with RWB so it makes total sense. If anyone should own an RWB that should be you! I would then be adding early 70s 911 to the collection no doubt ;) that PEC Tokio looks great

[@esaedvik]

Ooh the Trueno on 3-spokes :D Noice! Love me some threes (recovering Saab addict here, they have tons of those).

[@alexclark9645]

If you go Rwb, I would go standard kit with 935 style front and NO wing, just a ducktail or like Jonsibal a turbo wing (still amazed we haven't seen more of those). It would be special as a refined approach to the rwb style and a bit more old school compared to all the angel wide and huge wing conversions we've been seeing everywhere on the web. That being said, the 964 has really aged well as the last "slim" body Porsche. By any means its a dream car whatever you do with it !

[@martinweaver100]

Have a look at Phil from Driftworks 964 with the smooth RWB kit, it works beautifully with the shape without being crazy. Look forward to seeing which way you go with it 👍🏻

[@dsx5036]

The timing of this video is interesting, as it contrasts with what I've been seeing about RWB lately. Chicken wire affixed with dabs of window weld, haphazardly chopped fenders with no rust protection and fiberglass kits bolted on with self-tapping screws straight into the panels and sealed with window weld. I know you have a good eye for quality stuff so it'd be interesting to hear what you make of those critiques and videos floating around, never seen one up-close but I mean, from 10 feet apart my car looks awesome, I'm sure it's the same with those and for some it's all that matters. To me, the way he works is more akin to the way one would fix their car after it sustained damage during a race, rather than something designed to last.

[@dino_dc]

I take Nakai’s approch, concentrate on what I like, enjoy it and not pay attention to negativity. No matter what and how you do it there will always be someone that complains

[@brookswasherenow]

[@jubbo95]

Big fan of your channel Dino, and big fan of the 964 RWBs too… so it’s all love, BUT based on how you talk about it in the video, SOMETHING tells me that you feel like you SHOULD have an RWB more than you WANT the RWB… I could be totally wrong, it’s just a humble observation. Either way. The 964 is beautiful without any body work. But out of all of Nakai’s designs, the 964 is still my favourite till this day (mainly because of the 2015 Need for Speed game) And this is coming from a 997 owner. No wrong decisions here. Just make sure you’re 1000% with it!

[@giovaldez4580]

I would to see you make out of your porche build. No matter what you do it will be what you want it to be which is awesome 😎 go with what your heart tells you if you really want a Nakai-san build go for it...of course a good RWB build simple yet Nakaisan.

If you do chose to go w/ the RWB conversion I hope you go somewhere between the OG “race versions” and the more modern take on them in terms of show car flash. A lot of the 964,930, and 993 cars have turned into rolling art. Kinda lost the soul of the RWB motto over time. Plenty of OEM+ options as well. Cup car pieces, RSR, RS America, 3.8, tubro/turbo s. Even Tuner and body kit companies like Promoddet, TBK, Abflug, Veilside, etc.
