This is the 2001 R34 Nissan Skyline GTR VSpec II. Heralded as a legend, James and Thomas just had to get behind the wheel to see what the hype is about. Does it live up to its name? And is the R35 50th Anniversary a worthy successor to carry the torch? Watch and enjoy.

The R34 is still one of the best looking cars of all time
The FD3S, S15 and NSX have the BNR34 beat with their cury lines and aerodynamics. Noncar people still think those cars are modern 😂. The biggest problem with the BNR34 is was a performance trim based off a cheap family car 😩
@@KeenanStyles its a square bulky monster look. doesnt have to be sleek to look nice. just by looking at it you know it means business.
Too square and long for me. Prefer get supra shape
@@dudleylandsberg1747 Too long? and the supra is shorter? lmao
@@KeenanStyles That's all subjective, man. I agree, the NSX is an amazingly beautiful car, but ever since I discovered the Skyline playing Gran Turismo long ago in 96, I've wanted one; after discovering the R34, I wanted one even more.
I think every car guy wants an R34 no matter what kind of cars he’s into
I used to, but I have grown to like the R33 more. Still a absolute beauty though!
Even if a guy isnt into cars like me i still think it looks really nice
@@mikepaoletta9847 r33 underrated forever
Yess!!
@@mikepaoletta9847 same but into r32
As the old saying goes. "They don't make them like they used to" Never fails
they make the miata like they used to
Yep, Rav4's are faster than this now and basically every car made is vastly superior. This is just a badass moment in time for purists and collectors.
@@rdmz135 ngl they do
Are you Srbian? :)
The GTR is a proper supercar, though ridiculously overpriced. They make them better than they used to.
The Nissan skyline gtr r34 is like my girlfriend. I don’t have a Nissan skyline gtr r34
Yep. Don’t have one but desperately need one
My brother dose
I live in new zealand 🙃
I am forcing me and my car guy friends to move to Toronto just so we can get r34s.
@@somerandomflightsimmer4188 noice I live in Toronto so I can confirm that ur allowed to drive a r34 here
Nissan legit hired the best engineers when the R34 was designed
Well, it was an evolution of the two previous models that began life over 20 years prior.
R35 too, if we're being honest.
@@iluvcakes19 - R35 is the most plain "Supercar". It's also very large and heavy. I was surprised by how big it is the first time I saw one.
@@Texas240 you're forgetting how special the r35 was when it released
@@yenice3652 - I'd been around R33s and ridden a friends modded R34. The R35 was never very impressive to me. Seeing them all up close, the R35 looks even more plain than an R33.
Yoooo you guys got Cody Walker on the video, that’s awesome dude.
Yoo and dude are two thing no one should ever say.
@@soulsnatcher5408 Why?Let the man say what he wants.Personal issues it's what u have,sir
@@soulsnatcher5408 says "the bird" guy. you are cut from the same cloth
They got him IN their video not “on” it.
@@admnightmarejt in or on are both common and correct. You're a little bitch
That Skyline after 2 decades is still the one I desire... Hope someday we can work hard and fulfill our dream of owning this beautiful beautiful car
It’s even more beautiful because it’s stock ngl
Its not stock
@@AM-wi6zo did you not watch the video?
@@AM-wi6zo that's stock
Not fully stock but almost
It's not stock, though. That's Nismo Z-Tune exterior parts with Nismo LMGT4 wheels. OEM parts, sure, but not completely stock.
Interesting thing is, back then, 20 years ago, people called this car a “Playstation on wheels” 20 years later we appreciate this car for being “analog”, so it’s mesmerizing how fast and far we have come as car technologies
Yep Jeremy Clarkson called it the most technologically advanced car in the world
@Royal Prince because he said it on an old episode of Top Gear
funny how Jeremy Clarkson called the R35 the Playstation of that year. long live the GT-R!
@@patrickmartin3322 also in Clarkson's Car Years the "killer blue" compared to the late Evo VI and 22B STi
I literally got chills when Cody appeared on the screen, he looks so Much like Paul it’s unbelievable. RIP Paul Walker😢
The dude groomed a 14 year old girl and no one cared.
@@robertstone9988 so is there any trustworthy source confirming this? Or is it just bs talk on the internet?
@@rolux4853 all I did was Google Paul Walker underage girlfriend and it immediately popped up. He was 28 she was 16 he groomed her until she was old enough to marry
@@rolux4853 what do you think about Paul Walker now? Is he still the goat?
@@robertstone9988 pretty sure that was debunked mate
Reviewer: “Great job on the design Nissan, this thing is timeless!” Nissan: “So we never have to update it?”
Really nice to see two friends doing so well together. Well done lads - great work! Oh, and that car is sooo nice 😎
Am I the only that thinks the R34 looks so much better than the R35
Nope. If I had the coin (and could get one in the US) I'd get the R34. I've only seen one in the flesh last year in SF. I'm going again this year, hoping to see it again.
If someone says the GTR is better looking than the R34...cut them outta your life, you dont need that kinda negativity lmao R34 is the best looking japanese car of all time
@@jordancerace9310 couldn't agree more! 👌
@@jordancerace9310 not as timeless as FD3S RX7
iwan iwan RX7 is def a legend but the R34 is the Holy Grail for me 🤷🏼♂️🤙🏼
Even in 2070 this will still be my dream car.
If you don't own one by then you're not working hard enough.
@@Alby911 Yeah I'm 21 so yeah I do slack off time and again.
Same and I'm 21 too. My life is pretty much only motivated by getting this car lmao
so it will be a 70 year old car
@@TheErenYeagerChannel at the price point it is id rather have a nsx, or buy an r32 and an NSX
The amount of love and emotion you showed to the r34 is the exact way i would react. You brought a smile and a tear at the same time, definitely subbed and can’t wait for more content.
You guys talk about what us consumers an enthusiasts care about, driving dynamics, character, performance, reliability, tuning options, resale value, ect. Great content guys! We appreciate all the cool videos!
Does anyone else get chills just looking at it? It's one of the most perfect cars, top to bottom.
RX-7 Spirit R Type A enters the chat
From the way the car's value increases, by 2070, it'll be the most expensive Japanese car ever made, at an estimated price of 96,500,000 USD.
@@velvetrosang4684 how much are they now I keep looking it up and get different prices

@@Aditya-sc6wu Enters the chat and then leaves because it has well deserved self-esteem issues when looking at the R34
HUGE thanks to Cody Walker (@codybwalker) for supporting us in featuring Reach Out World Wide. He is a legit car guy and he’s doing an incredible job carrying on his brother Paul’s legacy, both in the car world, and beyond it. We have donated to ROWW and you should too! Link in description!
Good on you guys to donate to such a good cause!
Hahaha..."legit car guy"...🤣 Watch him at Jay Leno and you will realize, that he has absolutely no clue when it comes to cars.
Throttle House might want to pin you comment next time
what's the name of the song used in 2:22 please
You should pin this
Drives the r34 in 2019. ....man, it’s not that fast. But it’s special
u should mod it then
@@sadiesink_ devalue is the correct term
Where did you drive it.
At least it's faster than my corolla
@@kot.mp3 mod* but nice try
Aaaah..back to the video that got me watching TH in the first place. Never gets old. Still one of my top 2 favourite cars.
Rest In Paradise Paul. We Love You Brother. Your Light will Never dim.
R.i.p Paul is actually the one who got me into liking skylines he is a true legend r.i.p Paul ❤️😞
@@josesaenz7757 fuck paul walker if he got you into it you never played grandturismo as a kid.
@@msengineeringdavid3148 Weird flex considering it's called Gran Turismo, and not Grand Turismo..
@@MrRandomTwat it’s called yo momma called me tonight
@@msengineeringdavid3148 lmaooo, sick one mate
The R35 isn’t bad, the R34 is just too good. Even Nissan couldn’t make it again. These two monsters give me chills all over.
Nissan should've at least continue the production until for both GT-R and GT-T R34s until the R35 officially begin production. Just wish the G35 isn't a Skyline but as a brand new model or a new Bluebird.
@@Joshua_N-A Despite the awesomeness of the car they were not selling as many as they needed to make a profit, so they changed their marketing strategy and business model to become a mass prodocer of run-of-the-mill cars for the average American. They didn't discontinue the R34 because it was unpopular, but because they needed their cars to appeal to a much larger audience. I guess they couldn't do both at the same time.
@@johnnyvivic8730 precisely. Same thing happened with the Honda Prelude & NSX, Toyota Supra, Mitsu 3000GT, RX-7, and Nissan's 300zx. Early 2000s killed off the brotherhood.
@@Foxx488 What's ironic is that some of these cars were re-introduced as modern versions of themselves (Supra and R35 come to mind) later on, many years down the road, after these companies had already been producing run-of-the-mill cars for the average American for many years. I guess they _can_ do both at the same time now, but for some reason, decided not to 20 years ago. A couple decades can do a lot of good things for a successful company, though.
LOL...Guys😁that was a VERY smooth transition in narration @ around 0:57.Had me there for a little while,and had to go back and listen again!! Love this episode with this legendary and iconic JDM monster and beast r34 Gtr. This car was way ahead of it's time....😎👍👌
Everytime i see this legend it reminds me of the real driver legend. Rip Paul
Damn he looks so much close to paul.. i miss the legend so much 😪
It’s very sad that he crashed due to bad tires idk if you know but I honestly found out a couple weeks ago but the Carrera had like 15 year old tires which make them super hard so if you lose grip you’ll slide like ice rip legend
Ugh I forgot my name wow I didn’t know that carios you tell me more about it like frrl is that the reason he crashed
@@gsjourney3054 porsche carrerra gt is one of the hardest car to control even for a professional
You steal my comment
@@gsjourney3054 15 year old tires? Wasn't the Carrera GT made in 2005 but Paul died in 2013..?
When driving your favorite JDM car *Eurobeat intensifies*
Deja vu I’ve just been in this place before
And inertia drift
Running in the 90s!!!
Please stop.
Back On The Rocks.
Contributed to the price hike too !! Whenever I see one, I instantly think of Paul. RIP
Kudos to you guys for your work 👍 best review its my favorite car😍
Japanese engineering at its finest💯
JDM MACHINES also got some of that on my channel ;)
8:30 The car so clean and beautiful, we can see my guy turn around in the reflection😂😂😂
He forgot his Initial D mixtape
Yooooo lmao 😂
Lmfao good catch 😂
Came here for this comment. lol
Every engineer that took part in the making of this vehicle needs a hug fr
Why haven't I seen this channel before!! You guys are very likable, subbed 👌🏻
Wife- “Umm rude, you said you were going to sleep” Me- “Yeah i thought about it and i think throttle house is the better fit for me”
I think you slept on the couch that night!!
gay
R34, NSX, RX7,Supra, are all timeless machines. Their looks will be forever beautiful.
wow cody thats awsome you continue this for your bro. your a good bro..
i could watch r34 content all day. props for getting a shoutout from #codywalker 🤘
Gran turismo introduced me to the r34 Paul walker just made it mainstream
Right
And Need For Speed Underground
Exactly
Absolutely. When I first used it in Gran Turismo, I thought, mehhh, it's alright. I tuned it and made it stupid fast as was the same for most cars in the first Gran Turismo, but I still wasn't in crazy about it..... Then.... 2Fast 2Furious comes, more Gran Turismo with all the different R34 iterations from the pure base to the nurburgring monster and I, just like millions of others, fell in love.
Edward Peraza I hated the sound back when I used it in GT2. I thought the Evo's sounded more realistic for a car than the Skylines. (i was a kid)
Actual Japanese interpreter here. “Prepaid balance is ¥262,920” That’s about $2.5k USD. The owner is not messing around with paying those toll booths huh?
Dude must do lots of cross country drives or something. A 5 hr drive on the expressways is usually around $100 in tolls. Even then, that’s a huge balance.
I ended up paying something like $250-300 usd from driving around Tokyo for a few days in a rental... the tolls there are no joke 😅
@@th3m3du54 Holy shit
So crazy. Mine was on a credit card so it told us the expiration date. I didn't know you could get a prepaid ETC card. Now that we are in the US it just says no card 😂
rewatching all the videos and still makes me hapy to know that they are cultured enough to know one punch man, made my day
My buddy has the R33 and I’ve really never been a huge fan of it or the R34 but seeing it in this video really made me fall in love with the car such a sleek looking older car
Finally my favorite channel reviewing my favorite car. Love that you can actually talk about how the car drives! Excellent as always boys 🤘💯
7:57. HE WATCHES ONE PUNCH MAN? A man of culture.
@Speedy now what?
@Speedy bruh stop promoting
This entire video I'm just amazed and in love with this car
Almost followed that r34 home last summer what a blast to see driving
Congratulations on one year guys! It's gone so fast with so many fantastic videos. I hope the channel grows even more because you guys deserve it. I really appreciate the honest opinions. Don't let that go.
love how you guys mention paul walker in this video! Not only him but also the work he does to make the world better! You guys are awesome!
Props to the video ...it made me fall in love again with this car
I've watched this video like 10 times
I wish I had one...the r34 is my favourite car since I was i child 🇯🇵
@Speedy why??
The R34 is easily one of my favourite cars ever! Great video.
Beat car review channel hands down. Thomas, James, great job guys!
thank for review gtr knowledge.. i like it and i subscribed 🔥🔥
I love both the GTR R34 and R35! They’re both amazing cars!
I love them all!!!
All the GT-Rs are just timeless classics ~~ Nissan really were in their golden era with these GT-Rs. The R35 is my favourite, but this R34 is my second favourite. And it's still amazing that all the GT-Rs still look fabulous in design to this day. They really age super well.
Congrats on the one year fellas. Thanks for making the car community more entertaining before and for years to come
I still get excited every time I see 9ne it still is and probably always will be my favorite car
As soon as i saw Cody i couldn't help it. I broke down and thought about all my favorite FF Scenes that all happen to have Paul in them.
Man y’all never let me down this been the best year of my life watching KZhead I hope u don’t change your style bc y’all got the perfect formula and the two of you compliment each other perfectly
Thanks Rich pleasure to have you with us
I just got hired for my dream job and now I can’t wait to get my dream Car 😭
What was your dream job?
I’m also curious
As am I
Me four
Me 5
I cannot stop thinking about this car for years now. I am in love...
I remember playing Need for speed. All i wanted was to unlock the skyline. Just because Paul walker drove it on 2 fast 2 furious i was 11 years old old when the movie came out and im 29 now. We miss you brother and he will be never be forgotten.
I love this channel. The delivery and enthusiasm of the presenters, the non intrusive background music, and the sights and sounds of the car just make the whole experience magical. I thought I’d be bored with yet another GT-R related video. Instead I’m speechless. How you guys do this all on your own is beyond me. Keep up the awesome work! Definitely my favorite car channel!
One of the most iconic cars ever produced. Legend doesn't cut it. Paul Walker had a great choice when it came to automotive beauty and pure power. Great vid guys.
Throttle House has to be the best car enthusiast channel that has surpassed MotorTend and even Top Gear. I know I'm commenting on a 2019 review but I'm including Throttle house till present in 2021.
so im doing pretty good for myself now. so i gave myself a year to save for a car in this price range. but after looking at all the audi's porsche's and bmw's and so on. Ive been idolizing this car since it came out and you guys just helped me from making a purchase of just and car i would regret when this is the car, you know what i mean.
I used to think that you guys were a rip off of those “other” Canadian car reviewers, but I have recently changed my tune and become a huge fan of your channel, your style and the charisma that you bring to KZhead. I can’t wait to see you hit 500k and beyond. Keep hustling and getting out there to those new car launches. Get out of the great white north and you’ll grow fast! Lol. Love you guys!
The Straight Pipes make car porn for teenagers. Throttle House makes car porn for car buyers.
TSP is bland in comparison, apparently there's been beef between the two channels for a while. TSP thinks TH is ripping them off for some reason, I don't see it
Indeed a real legend ! Loved it as a kid still love it as adult
Belated Congrats on the 1yr
I love you guys! Respect!
Cody is just as an amazing human being as his late brother. Greatness runs in their family for sure. Make sure to donate or even go volunteer for worldwide outreach! Amazing group of people that are dedicated to saving lives!
This was such a special upload
The R34 is a car every car enthusiast has mad respect for and I feel that respect is well deserved
Timeless looking GT-R. My dream.
Cool fact: The R32 GTR was nicknamed 'Godzilla' in Australia after it dominanted other cars, including the ford Sierra cosworth After that, the 'Godzilla' name was used worldwide.
did the aussies actually create that name? thats maddd
@@OGtrushalpatel the aussies and the japanese i think, but yes. the R32 and its godlike JTCC stats arr the main reason the skyline tree has the nickname.
Old comment but I'm gonna reply, Godzilla = Japanese monster that destroys everything At least that was my understanding as an Aussie 😂
The ford Sierra cosworth for years and also it was a 4cyl made years and years before a r32 gtr was even made. It took 6 cylinders and a much higher price and AWD to beat the sierra cosworths
Seriously guys, you are going from strength to strength on this channel. Been watching you for a while now and you have great chemistry and great editing skills, you're going to go far just watch

Congrats boys! Your work is appreciated!
Zero Fidelity didn't expect to see you here! Awesome to know my favorite stereo reviewer is also a car guy. You should make some car content in the future 😁
I've always loved skylines. Back when I was 5yrs old playing grand trismo
R34 was so ahead of its time in its years. R35 is also awesome.
😍yesshhhh always has beeen my dream car 👌🏼💯great video
Thank you guys for reviewing this beast, and happy anniversary!
Dream car especially in this colour 😍😍
It's COLOR
The Z-Tunes Midnight Purple isn't bad either
Acuravigor47 Color - the spelling in American English Colour - the spelling in British English
Well I can say that I was the proud owner of one of these for about 5 years, I would still have it if I could ever find anyone to work on it here in America. It actually was a great car
north america??? r34?? not r33?
This is the best looking car on the planet. It is my dream car.
When I see Throttle House with a frickin Skyline GTR R34 I click hella fast🔥
My dream car in the perfect color! Thank you Paul for the charity we miss you. Cody seems like a top notch guy just like his brother! =-=
Some cars are timeless, this one is no exception, it’s a once in a lifetime experience if you get your hands on one.
8:31 look in the reflection of the car. that honestly made it even better for me :)
that's a great looking car. The blue, the black rims, the clean look
Great little tribute to the legend Paul Walker!
There will never be a time. Or timeline. Or world. Where this car isn’t drop dead gorgeous from every single angle. Just absolutely perfect in every way.
whaaaaat!!! this is the One year Anniversary of you both doing car reviews!!! Absolutely unbelievable. The way the videos are shot, edited and you guys review , i was under the impression that you both have been at it for multiple years!!!! Double thumbs up to the Entire Throttle House team for delivering such brilliant videos. They are slightly rough around the edges like at times, the B-Roll video is not focused properly, but for the content we get, we can easily gloss over that. PS - I just discovered your channel and currently Binge-watching as much as i can. Just the 7th or 8th video I guess.
Welcome, buddy!
Did anyone else get a little teary eyed when Paul's brother came on? Man he looks like him!!
Nothing can replace the design of this particular car...such a timeless design 🔥🔥
Even after over 20 years, the R34 GT-R still looks modern today~ In fact all the GT-Rs still look super good in their design and were really ahead of their time.
I love that car. It is my favorite car and hope to buy it as my first car but i doubt it. I honestly think that that car will never age.
These are still such amazing vehicles even compared to newer vehicles.
9:19 for a second I thought the r35 was supercharged!xD
Haha it’s him
XDD
That car skyline and the 1965 Shelby Cobra are my fav cars all time
Love this legend on wheels .Nissan GTR R34.. and the legend Paul Walker
This spec is easily the top spot on my dream car list. Goddamn this thing is a beauty
