We meet a real $350,000 Hakosuka GT-R legend driven as it is meant to be up on the Touge in Hakone!

Join us for another episode of JDM Masters RAW as we check out the famous tourist spot of Hakone Turnpike, a special toll road known for it breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi and also home to one of the most iconic Touge or winding roads in Japan. The carpark on the summit of Mt. Taikan is the location of car enthusiasts that also love driving their sports and high performance cars. Like Daikoku Parking Area in Yokohama, the weekends are always filled with a variety of cars both Japanese and imported. Here we can see everything from commuter cars of tourists to tuned JDMs and even rare supercars.
On this particular day we encountered a gentleman with a now very rare and valuable 1972 Prince designed Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10 2 door coupe. He has owned the car for over 28 years and fully restored it to almost showroom driving standard. Known as the `Hakosuka GT-R`, this was the first Skyline to bear the now famous GT-R badge that started a legend. Many Japanese people know the name of GT-R and the older folk will always cherish the Hakosuka in their hearts.
Due to its rarity and dwindling numbers, the KPGC10 is now valued at approximately 40 million yen for very good examples.
In this episode we also show you the unique Japanese toy called `Gacha gacha`also known as capsule toys that are known for lovable miniature replicas of various collector and fan items.
Opening Song : Sono Toki, Kanojo Wa.. - Mami Ayukawa

"This is the kind of car enthusiasm that we really like" Indeed my friend thats exactly what it is...

[@dalelumina3]

Now this... THIS is how this car is meant to be handled, not coddled up in a climate-controlled garage.

[@MJferguson]

We need song titles! Always learning something new from your videos Capt. Quality stuff!

[@rickylean2040]

Have to say your channel is an absolute gem. You nail everything even the music hits different. Keep up the amazing work.

[@bhumiriady]

Awesome video as always! Also, that Hakosuka looks so gorgeous... It's always nice to see classic JDM sportscars in excellent condition.^^

[@ProjectDatsun]

dude i love your channel, it’s really good for learning new things about all these different Japanese cars. you are a real legend in my eyes 🔥

[@bossbattlejeff]

I loved this! It was so cool to see such a diverse group of cars. I am looking forward to the full review of the Hakosuka GTR. That intro was also incredible!

[@Gobz_Moore]

No greater feeling than experiencing Japan from your house in Barbados,keep up the good stuff

[@Jeffmackens]

Dude, this is one of my favorite places to drive when I lived in Japan. Hit HWY 75 at the end of the turnpike!! soo crazy!! Great video man

[@melvinblackburn195]

That was a fantastic Hakosuka, and the music video at the end... superb. You do need song titles in the description though.

[@richardgurney100]

Brilliant video. Thanks for all the work you've put in

[@hiaceadventurevan3929]

Love it. When I visited japan from the states I was fortunate enough to link up with a family friend who showed me so many spots I would have never seen, Hakone being one of them.

[@Cricis11700]

Wow this is a reminder of what a quality channel on youtube looks like there is no comparison!!!!

[@adotexe8155]

The sound seemed off in this video

[@xyanide1986]

Owning the hakosuka coupe version with a 2L in-line 6 is absolute dream territory.

[@narface]

Love your videos! Awesome footage. I like your choice of music too. Please consider investing in some quality microphones though. Thank you!

[@thatloudCG5]

The intro was enough. Your "NANIII?!!!?!" react was more than enough Captain! 😂😂😂😂

[@xsjadoridersc]

I like seeing the cars and the culture/scenery! And the music is great too!

[@schpiedie]

The car is a dream! Phantastic! Thank you for showing! Unfortunately I could not see one live in Japan but at least I bought a model at the Tamiya shop in Tokyo. Hopefully I see one next time.

[@mugennick5209]

Nice to see people getting out. Love the soundtrack Capt.

[@topgunner31]

Love the music @the beginning his videos are the best keep up the great work

[@tommy_kaira733]

This is great...i love 90's jdm

[@TheWell_Music]

Always love ur videos!

[@MADMarkyD91]

Always good to see the OG JDM classics still going strong, and in as mint condition as this one! Anybody know the song playing during the S15 footage at the end? Shazam and Google have failed me on this one

[@alexwinter6720]

Mami Ayukawa - plastic night

[@travisdelao2202]

Loved the music!! More in the future please.

[@VirtualGuth]

The audio here is definitely not up to your normal standards while the music playing on in the background during your presentation takes away from the information being delivered. Captain, you know that I respect your channel and greatly enjoy your videos, so I hope that you'll take this comment in the constructive manner with which it is intended. As far as the content itself goes, that Champagne Gold KPGC10 car is absolutely stunning. I'm definitely looking forward to learning more about it in the future. That the owner has managed to retain so much of the originality is truly impressive. The older a car gets, the more such an effort stands out.

[@OllamhDrab]

Yeah, there were lots of motorcycles in the background, but drowning himself out with the music didn't help.

[@acidfrogs10]

Thank you as always for bringing us this content

[@dafonline]

Love the city pop BGMs, really match the video theme!

[@hecks_k20_fa5]

Maybe one day I'll make it to Japan 😭 such a beautiful country ❤️Those coin machine are so cool.

[@junkman6456]

Good as usual capt but i strongly suggest a museum visit by Mitsubishi. They have a impressive collection of also rare cars.

[@youknowwhoalready]

One of the most beautiful skyline

[@roleig1]

This channel have just the best JDM intro songs

[@BL41D3R]

Is that Jeff and his wife at the end? 😁 (Some people might recognize him from Sammit's channel) That clip was like a representation of what it would have been like to own an s15 in the 90s 🥲

[@WarCry389]

Love your content!! The audio was not great but still, awesome content.

[@dealt]

Appreciate your work. Always looking forward to the videos!

[@CarloPlaya]

Your enthusiasm about car is so infectious! Ever since I subbed like 3 weeks ago I've caught up on almost all of your videos 😁 I'd like to learn more about Itashas (not the anime cars) or Euro cars in general in Japan and how hard their upkeep is, especially the Testarossa and the F40 must be hard to keep up. Greetings from Germany!

[@jitsu_japan]

Got me all excited with that S15 teaser! Looking good!

[@omarm-510]

Love the content. Just wondering what’s going on with the microphone?

[@hyper8545]

Wow beautiful cars.

[@Jrv3192]

Hope your all well jdmasters missing the content

[@JesseSpec]

Awesome video! That Hakosukaaaa 😭😍😍😍😍

[@benardojambojr5030]

Hello am from Uganda Africa i love your content

[@thejdmfocus]

As always great video

[@allancheli]

Nice. Reminds me of my old 1976 colt galant..not as rare or powerful, but similar body design.

[@expeditionjay]

As always very high quality content.

[@samjil6623]

Even though this youtube is about GTR...i still drooling watching the Levin AE86. The price is crazy in 🇲🇾

[@sugoi8676]

I love the opening song, brother. 🤙🏼

[@Alijay01]

Enjoyed this episode, keep it up Capt 👍🏼

[@yzefeeRz]

Finnaly, JDM masters new video. :D

[@petersutcliffe9840]

Hey Cpt, great video but you should invest in an external microphone!

[@DIZAZZO]

What happened? Why are you not making videos, is everything ok? Cheers from Brazil.

[@bluetitan20]

Really nice to see the two most famous generations of Skyline out and being driven. It would have been nice and very interesting to hear from the Hakosuka Skyline owner, since he has had the car for so long he must have some interesting stories about it. I don't know if it was just my computer but I found it hard to hear what you were saying when you went outside, especially with the background music and the cars and bikes going past. Otherwise, keep it up.

[@45mph333]

The car is beautiful, the country side of Japan even more so.

[@oscarbarnes8887]

wasnt the porsche in wangan midnight a 964 not a 930?

[@vinman8143]

Hey Cap, why don't you have collabs with Albo recently? Kinda miss those videos.

[@db1710]

we need a playlist with the music on the videos

[@ejshawbizzz5870]

where are you captain? never see you with the gang, we miss you!

[@trackeverything4687]

Any chance to get videos about kei car race series like K4-GP and even the Motul 998 Challenge. I've been dying to rent a car and do a track day on a visit. Friends and I purchased a car for Ebisu but it was a heavy initial investment to do so.

[@Joseph-ns4es]

An interesting video captain. Anyone knows the name of the song in the beginning.????????

[@nissansilviakouki]

Loved the s15 spot

[@WildDanHibiki]

You need a mic, cap. The music was too loud in your intro and it was hard to hear what you were saying.

[@Torresmeza9]

When’s is the s15 Silvia review dropping? 😄

[@WildDanHibiki]

You need a mic cap. The music was too loud in your intro.

[@WildDanHibiki]

That GT-R is clean.

[@Daniel-RunToRoyal]

I know this is JDM Masters, but that F40 would be nice to review from a JDM point of view!

[@nyanlin]

Can you do a review for Accord Euro R CL7 please? Thank you!!

[@fazzeg3]

Just great!

[@glenography1536]

What happened to the audio?

[@nicebergslim]

was just listening to plastic night earlier lol

[@codebus]

Sorry but the audio is pretty bad here.

[@RoyDangerMoney]

Great video but where are the song titles!

[@spdaltid]

Beautiful Hakosuka and R34. Not JDM but the the 930, thanks for the reminder -I should never have sold mine! [nor 964RS]... Footnote: the 008"P" is for Porsche. Anyway, back to JDM!

[@eminye1]

The Hype is over 9000.

[@roddydiaz1090]

Love this.

[@retrobjordan]

That song 🎶 sounds like the 80’s. What’s the song??

[@peekaboo1575]

I'd love to see a video on one of the Japanese classics of old. Specially the rarer ones such as this. :^)

[@Ungovernable_Schizo]

It’d be interesting to see a RB 26 swapped hako

[@AZMarine78]

Nice!

[@robhernandez7322]

The Skyline is so beautiful it’s a shame they didn’t make a better emblem that “S” looks so crappy, but besides that it’s an incredible car!! 😆

[@noahhunter5614]

My dream car❤️

[@mikedawg8705]

hard to hear you in this video. are you using a mic?

[@lprisk2013]

Hey! They still exist!

[@deet4895]

The audio is so bad in this video, i really couldn't understand what was been said.

[@Raven-uu7lb]
