🤣 Nissan needs to hire James to do more commercials. 🤣
true
I regret buying good headphones.
What I had in mind 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
@@VexxedSR me too
I was laughing the entire time lmaao 😂
I love how quiet everyone was inside the R34 just soaking it in. I'd have watery eyes too.
Right
just watching them made my eyes watery too...
Me too
yeah... it would feel surreal for anyone to be sitting in that car, especially if you like the r34 ALOT haha
One of the most legendary car ever. Fuck. Everytime I see one on the streets or on the Internet, I have watery eyes thinking about Paul Walker and the fact that I won't be driving one myself
I tear up with Nolan when they climb into that R34. It warms my heart to know you fellas are living your dreams. You've worked hard, and I am glad it is paying off. Cheers!
Totally agree, You deserved it Nolan!!!
There's a picture of me with Eddie's Skyline from Need for Speed Underground 1
I feel Nolan as far as first reactions to being in an r34 I'd cry too. As a car enthusiasts and being able to even just drive your dream car is a moment in life you'll never forget
We need a Z generation video now, this series is too good
I had a clapped out 83 300z. It was pretty stout.
Good idea!
Omg PLZZZZ yes. Especially if they could do a ad for the new 2023 Z
Agreed 😁🤤🤘💪 but im obviously biaZed 🤣
@Icebox240z Gaming, Gear & Cars ooo that's a nice 240z. I love the 80s 300zx and the newer 350/370z myself. And I'm excited for this new Z. Hope to maybe get one one day
These guys really pulled a Nissan sponsorship on a GTR video. You guys are killing it I'm so proud of you
Nissan is in a bad way, they're almost bankrupt
I mean, I agree. But Nissan makes the GTR.....
@@shaunjob2319 Im pretty sure hes saying that these guys managed pull a sponsership from a massive car manuacturer on a video about their cars
@@cadenmoskol4604 that’s exactly what I meant. Honestly I didn’t know they’re almost bankrupt, but either way, the Donut guys have been doing pretty well in terms of sponsorships. I mean having Nissan and Porsche sponsor your videos is not easy and so I’m just really happy for them!
@@catlover9948 Yea and although nissan is going bankrupt there aren't many car manufacturers that haven't
Nolan getting so excited about driving the R34 that he cried really speaks to just how much influence that car had on car enthusiast's lives over the years. Glad it was everything you wanted it to be.
Duuuude, the intro on the R34 was sick 17:22
Nolan you didn't just drive for you, you drove for the ones who will never get the chance to do so. We love you
And I can guarantee those were real emotions..I was legit the same when I got a chance to drive one and I'm sure everyone would ..u just don't talk ... U can't .. u legit enjoy it fighting back this salty substance building in your eyes ctfu
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 🥲
I cried over driving a 2020 Mustang Gt500 it’s been my dream to drive one. But now I drive them everyday for living lol 😂
SO THIS
I wasn't even in the car, and I'm crying writing this. I would be a wreck if I ever got the chance to drive an R34
18:42 Nolan getting emotional about driving a car most people could only dream of was so real and honestly nice to watch
HEY FAN, I HAVE GIFT FOR YOU 🎁, SEND A DIRECT MESSAGE…
FACTS
That R34 they drove is freaking gorgeous.
He had rain on his glasses FFS
@@flippy66 thank you sherlock. No one said he has tears on his glasses.
Nolan is Donut Media , his videos never disappoint James and Justin make it that much better , chill vibes
Why Nolan is the only guy who drives? Can they share at least some models?
@@ldmtag I believe its because the i drove series is his so they want him to drive the cars
@@phoenixpenguin5131 i think he has the most training and experience in actual racecars, i may be wrong on that. but clearly he is the biggest GTR fan of the three, so i think they made the homie move of letting him have his dream day.
Nolan crying represents every feeling of what we are, a community that loves the cars, a child driving his car dream, achievement unlocked! wow I love it guys, cheers for that!!
Nolan's emotions with the R34 is what being a car guy is all about. Dream come true, happy to have been able to ride along
Absolutely. Honestly a beautiful moment to share with everybody.
I feel like every car guy getting into an R34 would react similarly. I know I would.
As a former owner of a Baby-Godzilla, I know I would need more than a few moments to collect myself after buckling up!
There are just no words to describe piloting a feat of modern technology and performance. You just gotta let the car do the talking
really dont get the emotions just driving the car like a commuter but everyone enjoys cars differently i guess
The B-roll on that R34 mixed with your snow shots was just mesmerizing. Top notch cinematography on this one, boys.
The R34GT-R 24 years on still amazing to drive. I always use that car in Juiced 2 and Eliminator.
Who else thinks they should do this for every Mustang?
Honestly one of the best videos I have seen in a long time. I love watching content creators grow to their maximum potential and actually enjoy what they're doing. I'm not sure if I will ever get to drive an R34, but if I do, I will probably also get teary-eyed.
I cannot imagine the hardships y'all went through to get all these at the same place. impressive as hell.
It's sponsored by nissan, I'm sure they helped facilitate getting these cars.
@colefishhat also probably part of a group event thing
@@Mrcoconutgun Rin Hoshizora also love those Nissan cars.
@@Mrcoconutgun actually we didn’t, even we were shocked someone let them drive that 34 in midnight.
@@Mrcoconutgun they didn't but we did.
Nolan Driving the R34 in Silence is something that A non car Guy / Gal would not undertand. The Color, the weather, the track. It's Perfection. No wonder he got emotional, Heck, Any enthusiast would. Was smiling from ear to ear. One of the best vidoes on the channel.
Fr tho that's all car guys dream
Spent some time at Fuji this winter, and that was the kind of weather we had for the entire day. Couldn't even see the end of the stands in the fog. Was surreal.
i started crying as well...
Ain’t going to hold you , I shed a tear after the video went straight to go look for one and remembered.. I can’t afford it rn and so I shed another tear
meh, not really. I was here just for the jokes n' stuff, these stuff feels overrated
Waitin Supra version 😉
i NEED a mk2 supra video
it's here
Why bother? 😅
Kudos to the camera crew, those were some amazing shots.. This video is everything Donut are about!
Man, the way James looked at Nolan when they got out of the R34. What a good bond they have
Nolan is a lucky guy to have a buddy like James. And so is James lucky to have Nolan ❤
Nolans look was very similar to Adam when he completed his...it's other worldly.
These guys make me wanna get a boyfriend.
@@mouthgina3213I'm right here
I used to believe James when he used to say Nolan was his son
I'm stoked that Nolan got to drive these amazing cars. I hope everyone else on the Donut team got a chance to drive them as well.
I was just gonna say, the other one was looking kinda upset he wasn't driving, which I would be too lol 😄
I wouldn't be surprised if they had to take out an insurance policy and Nolan was the only allowed driver. Wouldn't be the first time this happened
Probably had something to do with insurance. Nolan Probably has the best driving record and credit score 🤣
😂 they saw how James treated high car so they said only Nolan can drive them.
@@OldManShoutsAtClouds Nolan is the best driver in the donut team in terms of actually being able to race
Seeing the donut guys all get into a car with coats and buckle up reminds me why I love cars. They're a little personal bubble you can share with others.
I don’t even know what to say, this is just… so amazing. I can’t even imagine how you guys felt being inside all these icons, let alone actually driving them
I absolutely would have cried in the R34 too, a dream to drive one. Years of hard work from these guys for a moment like this, love to see it 😭
Same hahaha
It's same to driver as r33 lol
@@And4224 no r33 doesn't exist, only the r32 and r34 do. This a joke
Two cars that I would seriously cry in if I ever got to drive them. The R34 GTR and the LFA.
Literally one of the most boring to drive. Fan boy car.
Man, I swear, Nolan's face at 19:15 almost made me drop a tear, he for sure enjoyed that moment
Agreed man.
He'll get one for sure.
Same especially when he teared up himself cause I've experienced it myself with a 72 elcamino beater it was beat to shit but hearing that 350 roar though thrush mufflers legit made me tear up with happiness and the entire time I was laughing my ass off with pure joy and love ... And yes I smoked the tires every chance I got sadly it wasn't mine though just a buddies he let me drive like I owned it
@@jamesprice2163 damn, that's so cool dude, I hope I can burn tires too one day, in my country it's harder to see big motors, and even harder to have friends who have them
@@segicus yeah I wish the rest of the world could experience some of the muscle cars we have Finland or Sweden is about as close as you'll come even though muscle cars were perfected by the Aussies (holden torana a9x and the Ford falcon XB are two of my favorites) but their not as powerful as everyone thinks American cars are actually pretty turned down from 73 till the mid 2000s due to smog regulations and all those cool euro tuner cars we never got due to emission laws
I’ve seen this video many times and I never get tired of it. Great job guys
Awesome video and very interesting to get pieces of history weaved in!
Nolan crying in the R-34 is one of the most wholesome things I’ve seen on this channel!🥳
That was just melted snow
Seeing a lifelong goal achieved from someone we have come to know and love was awsome.
This could be a great mini series for the channel! And a great way to get the car community involved! You could do a video driving every Z, every Corvette, every Mustang, Camaro, Evo, WRX, Silvia, bunch of options!
Y'all could call it the generations
@@ashtonsmith9852 this dude is onto something
Basically a hands on version of up to speed
You can feel the joy of these guys and the greatness of these cars. Awesome video.
I love all the Donut guys. You all make the videos more fun and interesting.
Fun fact: the R35 has been around for longer than the entire Nissan brand
As Datsun right? 😄
The R35 or the GTR name? Or are you just poking fun at the how old the current platform is now?
@@abelincoln4374 all of them
?
@@abelincoln4374 yes.
This has got to be one of my favorite donut videos in recent memory. Honestly this whole “driving every generation of a car” series is so amazing and everything from the camera angels to music choice is amazing. I hope to see more videos like this, hopefully we can get one on the Supra next
Starting with the Celica until they went FWD in the mid 80s
great vid guys your camera crew know how to get some really cool shots of the cars . great work guys
Well done on your achievements young man. It must be a great experience to you driving every Nissan.
Those R33 shots when the snow came in were SOO GOOD
how weird is it to self promote?
right?? I couldnt help but audibly go "OHHHH SHIT" when the snow b-roll shots started, i know production was gassed.
Very good:) It's as though the timing couldn't be better.
Nature set them up real good
Outside of R35, I think R33 is the most supercar-looking GTR. R32 and R34 look more like rally cars. But that R33, especially from behind - almost a Ferrari or a Corvette!
Nolan's reaction was definitely how I felt when I visited Japan for the first time and got to actually see one in its motherland. I started tearing up because it was so surreal that I was living such a dream in real time. And I didn't even get to drive it lol
👆Message me
I was in Malta for vacation last week and there was a blue one just casually parking at a house on the opposite side of the street. Me and my friends drove by it like 3 times. Now I regret not checking it out on foot... :D
Nolan is such a sweetie, its so fun seeing people experience their passions in real time
Watch this video countless of times appreciating they got all the special editions of each generations so amazing! And when they driven the R33 halfway of the track with the snow coming in, it's like "the oncoming of a legendary godzilla about to be introduced" made it so epic! I mean what more could we get right? Man, that moment we could appreciate the aero effect from the front bumper streaming to the rear while driving. Also the introduction song kicked in with the phonk music, I'm in tears of joy watching it and enjoy it's true beauty. Then it stopped snowing at the R35 is mindblowing as in like, enjoy while you can with the power it could produce. Thank you so much for doing this epic video.
“Donut isn’t a car channel anymore” *Donut literally getting to drive every series of Skylines and bringing history with it as well*
Fanboi
@@thatopendiffdude9109 what's wrong with that?
@@thatopendiffdude9109and?
These are GT-rs not Skylines. R35 never has been a Skyline. They still make Skylines for japan and THIS is not it.
One video doesn’t change that Donut has become mediocre
damn, nolan went hard with the feels. i can only imagine the feeling of driving every one and experiencing the heritage of those cars trough driving them. mad props
Right! Too bad it was only him tho
@@stevenb891 Probably due to insurance.
I love these kinds of series that you put on, however, I think this video is more of an introduction rather than showcasing the performance of each cars compared to the “best viper” vid that you made because you drive those cars really hard.
this is an amazing series. do this for every car you can
I love that Nolan cried in the R34. I mean honestly, how awesome can your life get? He gets to review and talk about cars with seemingly really cool guys. The best part is he gets paid to do it. I would be so thankful man.
Not gonna lie, I would probably cry if I got to drive an R34.
I would be in complete eternal peace
bro i cried and i'm not even close to drive one soon or ever it's pure magic and the moments when life feels like you actually made a highlight
I almost cried for him, the joy in his face was contagious
@@reymondlopez7468I got a little choked up the first time I drove one too. Years of using them in video games and waiting to see one in person gets you a little bit when you finally get behind the wheel
Nolan's emotional reaction is always on point..I would act the same... Nolan is so authentic as a car guy..props dude
He took off his glasses to wipe the rain off the lenses.
@@plica06 Why try to ruin the moment? This is why we can’t have nice things.
@@plica06 yes but he was also emotional and when he started driving he was speechless
You can really feel the love of the brand and the storied history from the guys during this video. Specifically the R34 step out, audio, and the ambiance/vibe.
What really translated from you three through the video you made is that this made your day and that is really nice to witness.
That R-34 moment got me, and I'm just sitting at home watching it, can't imagine how the boys felt.
Me either man! The r32 would be my personal favorite though
We all cired with Nolan there..
Just an old 300hp car. Maybe it was cool 15-20 years ago, now any family saloon is faster
@@LightThePrince But is any current family saloon a R-34? Its not 100% about being fast its the history behind it
@@douppi2877 i respect that, i just cant stand that fake reaction like they are making a lap in F1
“Nolan started crying, we’re all brothers now” I felt that….
The video was really very great 🎉.And the r-33 cinematics were really awesome R-34 is an emotion
This video is such a masterpiece, I always come back to see the gtrs be driven on the road all together 🥹🚙
Awesome video guys. I can tell you guys were having a ball with this one. There is really something about the GTR.
Obviously one of the best cars engineers ever designed
@@ThexXxXxOLOxXxXxthis sentence doesnt make sense..
Yep I'm sure there are plenty of us who would do unspeakable things to be able to own any of these GT-Rs!
@@anydaynow01 i mean then ur Just deranged
@@f804.de.ruyter you get what he’s trying to say but he used all the wrong words lol
When you watch the emotions of Nolan driving the R34, it brought back the memories of every 15 year old who's watched FF1 and dreamed that they would get a car like this one day. I almost shed a tear myself because this was what dreams were made of. This segment is the closest thing to the feelings that Top Gear with the Trio gave me and I PRAY that you continue to make great content like this. Thanks Donut!
R34 is FF2 though
@@Masterfighterx we know. You're missing the point.
Hey guys, I don't want to ask too much but, I'm from Brazil and I have a lot os friends that love your content, and as u know we have here a huge car cummunity, and will be a good decision just to put some portuguese subtitles (the brazilian portuguese - PT-BR), Love u guys, nice video!
I had the pleasure to drive the R35 back in 2012 as a birthday gift through supercar rental. It was an unreal experience and obviously am bias towards that one (the only GT-R I've touched, let alone driven). But the emotion in this video is why I'm an enthusiast and why I love Donut!
It honestly felt like an episode of "Up To Speed" mashed with "D-List" mixed with a pinch of the energy from "High-Low". A culmination of the best parts of Donut Media mixed into one. Well done.
HEY FAN, I HAVE GIFT FOR YOU 🎁, SEND A DIRECT MESSAGE…..
I was born in the mid 80s and in my opinion this is the best video the people at Donut have put together. The location weather felt appropriate, the emotions you guys felt and transmitted, and the edit and music choices stitched it all together beautifully. Absolutely love it, thank you.
The location's weather just so happen to be a freak accident too lol. Snow in Cali...
why does it matter u were born in 80s you boomer?
@@jabbahut755 hmm, yeah ic.
This is the best video I've seen from Donut in a long time!
These videos are awesome! Thanks Donut dude's!
As a former R31 owner I must say that the R31 really gets under your skin, as you start to push the car towards its limits it reveals an addictive character: almost goading you to go faster, while always hinting that at any moment it could send you spearing off backwards. The others may be faster or more historically important, but the R31 will remain my personal favourite.
Fax
same
I've owned four different R31s over the last 18 years. Loved every one of them. I like that they are essentially a blank slate for modding, they can look so cool with some really simple mods. Yeah, not as fast as an R32, but still fun.
im more of a fan of the r32 and r33 but respect
I daily my r31 and you are spot on here.
Justin has been such a great addition to the team. He needs more screen time as the lead host.
the mid advert cracked me up.... Great video lads. Superb in fact!
Wow. What a special day, I honestly didn't know about the 2nd and 3rd Generations so it was dope to learn about those and nearly fall in love with one of them haha.
Such a good video and idea. Nolan is the most down to earth guy, and shows through videos like this how relatable he is. Everyone can see themselves in him while watching his emotions and energy. Also, this one had a nice WheelHouse type vibe to it, which has been missed by the real OG subscribers for sure.
FACT.
@@sakavanagh97 ever drove the 1971 SKYLINE GTR KPGC10? It is still iconic and i ever used that car to beat the biggest cheater car in GRAN TURISMO 2.
The second Nolan cried, I cried…the r34 is the ultimate dream car that will be unattainable to so many of us. I’m glad he was able to live his dream and get behind the wheels.
And that is a message from the big chungus
Cries in McLaren F1
Love these cars! Great video! I think the Kenmeri looks more like an AMX, especially from the side.
A was lucky enough to grow up watching the ATCC (Australian Touring Car Championship) back in the 70's, 80's and 90's and my favourite car was R32 which was so dominant it killed Group A in Australia. The R32 will always be my favourite, but I think the 2nd Generation is the most beautiful. Personally, I wouldn't say no to one of each. 😄 Great video.
I love Nolan for crying when he was about to drive the R34. That’s love and passion coming outta them face holes
No way you guys pulled a Nissan sponsor! You guys are killing it! So proud
The og older skylines look like cars owned by people
That's what I was thinking man. They killin it.
@@yurei3714 they more than likely are
@@gibsonanderson812 the 1st gen skyline is 😍
@@yurei3714 they are but Nissan sponsored the whole video...
11:50 Goosebumps😮❤ The R32 Skyline
4:46 I think it has 3 double barrel carbs instead of 6. But it sounds like 6 because of the 6 intakes with the loudest trumpets on them
This reminds me of the old content we've been sorely missing. After the civic video I'm glad this series is continuing
Wish we get more of this series for a lot of legendary cars, would love a Z version
This compared to the civic was just on a whole new level.
That was the best sponsor segment y'all have ever done 🤣 well played.
I almost bought a Nissan
I hope this is a "make gt-r trending for a while so we can make hype for the new gen gt-r"
Shout out to the editing team, they are killing it with these intros and overall vibes.
- just gunna say, you guys are actually good at your ads. Writing and execution is on point.
If every sponsored segment was like that I would watch it anytime, it was cool as hell and so funny
What a great segment. Please keep coming with this kind of stuff 💯
Drive all generations with Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru WRX, Tesla models, Mazda rotary, Mitsubishi Pajero, Dodge challenger, Audi quattro, Lancia legacy, AE85 and AE86 and more. Keep it up
(Bot)
When I was stationed in Okinawa in the USMC I had a second Gen Skyline Turbo. Loved that car. Too bad I couldn't bring it back with me.
The R31 that Jim Richards won in was powered by the RB30 that we got in Australia. Legendary engine and a huge upgrade from the RB20
This video is everything Donut are about!
Woah what’s up toast its the one and only beatbox reactor!
What in the world? Toast you react to this too?? Neat👍
Word
Now this is a special donut episode for all the car enthusiasts around the world. Watching them grinning from ear to ear is just pure joy. Goes back to when I got my first car toy.
BTW, The ASM Nissan Aria commercial was the best ads i've seen, nice job.
This was something that I personally always wanted to do and you guys lived my dream but yet put my favorite gtr at #4 (the R32)
How does it feel? TO BE LIVING MY DREAM?!?
@20:06 Man, what a cool shot. James noticing Nolan's "moment" as they ended the drive and cracking a smile, knowing he was so pumped to drive this thing. Then ya got Justin patting Nolan on the back. These guys really are true friends. And of course, James gets out of the car and goes "NOLAN STARTED CRYING!" And they became brothers lol.
👆Message me..
Im so happy, your list, is same, with mine, except, i never drive one of them and i hope, you guys driving too, nice video! Really nice video!
Awesome job, guys! I'm jealous as I'm sure most watching this are, but especially since I've never actually driven any GTR's (I do drive a 2015 Juke, but don't hate on me too much lol) I love the 32 because it's "Godzilla" and how can you not, but that 34 doe.... Maybe someday I'll get to drive at least one of these if not all of them like you guys were lucky enough to do. Keep up the awesome work gentlemen!
Hey man when nolan cried cause he finally got to drive the r34 I felt that man. That shit just hit different when it's no longer a dream.
Tears came to my eyes when Nolan was driving the R34. It's like more than a car. It's a legendary car and as a car guy, we should drive a one at least once.
Yeah ... but they didn't really drive it hard at all, 😒 A bit of a disappointment to be honest, any car can cruise but its only alive when driving Hard on the track - which didn't happen with the R34, 😑😪 (I bet the owner wouldn't allow it, 🥸👎)
@@stevenmack9948 It probably was their insurance. That’s not a cheap car to fix and definitely not cheap to replace
@@robertives973 Them saying "I drove every GTR" sounds good but if they had said "at 30 mph on a deserted track" that is pointless as it's just driving like any normal car. 😒
@@stevenmack9948 probably because of the rain as well
@@fathizainuddin3021 But 30 mph in a 4×4 Gtr, I think it could do double if not triple without getting anywhere near a limit, it was LAME !! 🤨👎
Even the ads are funny, keep up the great work donut !!! 🍩🔥
Wow, the 1989 r32 gtr intro was awesome! Great animation from donut media
The look James gives Nolan at 20:05 just sums it up
That was legit one of realest things I’ve seen on the tube of yous.
I really hope we get an episode for all of the Zs one day
Hell yeah 🔥
I'd love that, and I wouldn't even cry that much when they put the Z31 at the bottom of the list!
I would rather see it include all the Fairlady models not just the z cars
Can you provide the top 3 in order I had a hard time seeing which the top 3 were and watched it 3 times plz. And great video all in all
I enjoy watching how much Nolan loves cars.
It's really wholesome to see the Donut staff become kids again and accomplish a child dream of driving this cars!!
Please do more ASM-Car. It’s the only sponsorship I haven’t skipped through on Premium. ❤
god the action shots in this video when the snow/rain came down are so good
Even though I almost always went Evo over Skyline in almost any car game I've played in the last decade and a half, I can still appreciate this car for being what it is and what it represents. If nothing else memories of Paul Walker driving it in 2F2F keeps this car near and dear to my heart. The R34 Skyline will forever be one to remember.
