Wangan Racing Nights With Takashi's R34 Skyline

- I met up with with a long time friend Takashi-san, a key person in Tokyo's underground car culture, for this video. The idea was to check out how his ER34 Skyline has evolved ever since I shot the car back in 2015 when he completed the first phase of the transformation.
This project was originally supposed to be a missile, a practice drift car, however things got a little out of hand for Takashi and he ended up creating one of the cleanest GT-ts out there. We met in Odaiba, drove into central Tokyo to park up on Nihonbashi bridge and then headed to Umihoraru PA for a chilled Friday night meet.
In case you are interested here is the original story I did on Takashi's ER34 on Speedhunters:

This is probably my favourite JDM channel atm. No annoying hype and fanboying. Simply a chill mood with excellent footage from a guy who knows what he's talking about.
Thank you, happy to hear that 🙏🏻
this and Larry's. Appreciate yall. I genuinely get stoked af when I see yal post stuff 💙💙💙
@@LuisGomez-su7kf yep, Larry is on par. Would be unreal if he was living in Japan.
@@LuisGomez-su7kf can you add larrys page link aswell so i can add him , love this type content so would be cool to see like minded channel
Such a unique and personalized build. Looks just right for Wekfest and the Wangan 👌
It was at Wekfest 👍🏻
The only thing I like more than the car cultures you bring us Dino, is your presentation. Thanks for this channel Dino. Seriously entertaining, oddly relaxing, and epic cars.
My pleasure!
Wow, Tokyo at night just looks like a different world.
I've never been, but I'd imagine you could drive around the city
for a few months, and still only see a small fraction of its highlights
and stunning sights.
Yeah it’s massive!
I think this is the best episode on the channel yet! Great Tokyo nights vibes, cool spots, nice mix of in car, rollers, and letting us hear that glorious sound!
I have been following Takashi's build for years now. The B roll cinematography simply transports you to Japan. Very well done sir
That 190E blew my mind - would love to see an episode on rare Tommykairas! I also saw a very rare Tommykaira Subaru Legacy wagon in Chiba earlier this year - super curious about the stories behind those cars.
believe it or not, he has TWO!
Beautiful build and great story behind it as well. The mirror mount gauges are something I haven't seen before. Thank you Dino and Takashi!
if everyone ran 500 hp cars car culture would be more realistic and accessible.
The way you filmed this was very nice compared to others I've seen. The whole atmosphere and scenery was on point. And Skyline💯
Thank you Dino. I first discovered you through Larry but your content is just as amazing! This is one of my favorite videos now. What a beautiful car!
Glad you enjoy it!
love the gauge placement so smart
Thanks Dino for featuring 1 of the best Takashi.i was introduced through Tokyo Tuner channel 🎉
Informative and Secretive I love that Takashi-san does it for the sake of the Underground Culture 💯🤌🏽
Honored to be able to call Takashi my friend, great interview of one of my fav machines! #RenownInside
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you Dino for always releasing videos with top-notch quality. Dropping some cool facts throughout. It reminds me of Noriyaro's channel but if he had a professional videographer.
I met Takashi last year in Akihabara. Very cool bloke and took time to have a chat with me!
It’s is so clean! I love it without having a huge over sized wing. It just unnecessary.
Definitely an awesome night. That car is truly sleek and loved
You and Alec are getting better and better and putting these together! Amazing.
Really, reaaaaaally nice looking Skyline.
Thanks Dino! Your channel is proper JDM car content. This video gave me so many feels about my trips to Tokyo. Plus, I even got to take some photos of that car a few years ago at one of the RWB meets my friend invited me to.
Happy to hear that! Thank for watching!
Very cool Skyline! That metallic brown along with the interior is killer...
Really nice shots, music, and I love the 4k.
The B-Rolls are crazy good! I really like the gauges under the rearview mirror, it adds so much ambiance at night. I don't know how i feel about the third break light though. But all in all, it is a really cool build 👍 I also like the japanese talisman on the keychain!
That is perfection, even just sitting there looks amazing
Unique looks from one of the currently most sought after platforms. I appreciate his effort to carry the conversation in English.
Yeah Takashi is a good sport!
thats the nicest rwd r34 I have ever seen, I love the rwd versions and never knew they could look this nice. so glad the MERC is getting a special feature
Sai cosa è figo?. Al di là delle immagini e del contenuto... il drum beat e le musiche...trasmettono bene l'atmosfera notturna giapponese ❤
What an incredibly clean R34... pretty close to how I'd build one, especially in terms of power. I also love that he runs Porsche bucketseats. Tbh, I agree that the GTTs don't get the attention they deserve, 'cause there's some really cool builds out there. Only thing is, you gotta tell him to get an alignment. His wheel isn't straight XD
Good video, I really liked it 🙂 I hope for more videos like this, a big hug and keep up the good work
Always love the night vibes
great video that is a nice skyline. I love these GTTs.
the videography on this is grade A! keep it coming! loved this video
🤙🏻
Tried to thumbs up this video.... then realized I already did. Amazing content Dino. Never stop sharing this side of Japan.
Thanks man!
great vid dino, never seen that parking lot in odaba, very cinematic. the tommy kaira merc is super cool too
Sic night out. What a car, the merc was sic af too. Great little view of the culture there. Thanks mane.
Glad you enjoyed it
I have followed Takashi for years on IG. im heading to Japan in August, Would love to see his Skyline in person.
I like the gauge setup, clean. Car looks good.
super clean roller shots
Love the photography.
That was awesome Dino, incredible quality cars and culture
Glad you enjoyed it
Takashi San is so fast his left eyebrow is faded...
Wonderful.
Great build and quality video.
R34 FTW
P.S. 12:07 Your BMW 440 (?) Cabrio as camera car, nice to see it around.
Clean & one of the best builds around beautiful....I would paint it Satin Silver
More historical Tokyo stuff!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sick build.
Love the Wagan videos.
Used to play Tokyo Exxtreme Racer and would like to suggest you to use the challenges in the video game as production scenes.
The music and the headlights flashing as an 'invitation' to race are my favorites 😉
Also like the MB yakusa style cars, like the CARGRAPHIC ones with AMG wheels with painted dishes
I'm new in your channel, and i never seen such quality recording in night time, thanks for sharing this, greetings from Argentina.
Thank you and welcome onboard 🙏🏻
Dino and Alec are the dream team! Best channel on CZcams
Thank you 🙏🏻
saw this car at sara chois meet in shibuya in january, one of the coolest gtt's ive seen
Love the no wing look 👌
Even if I don't vibe with the car, the filming, story, editing, and music makes your vids so awesome Dino :)
I appreciate that!
Very nice and unique build Fosho ✨✨✨🎌✨✨✨🙌🏽
i was on a kayak and went under the nihon-bashi, super cool to see this monster parked there!
Those rollers were butter 😮💨
That Skyline is amazing :D
Bridge is like the verrazano in my nyc , keep up the great work man !
Thanks! Will do!
3:42 mannn your videos are always nice.
Thank you 🙏🏻
That intro!! ❤
Nice vídeo ...a vibe do Japão e unica
Such a good video
Thank you!
The interior of Takashi's interior is the goal of mine. Wow it's beautiful
wow this r34 looks nice
タカシさん、クルマを見せてくれてありがとう。 すごいですね！Where did you find a Kuhnle Kopp und Kausch turbo? Apparently they're still in business... Owned by Howdens now. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it??
Thanks again for the video Dino! As always, amazing photo/videography, great stories, and you have such a natural way to bring the excitement of amazing cars across. Your photography always makes me feel like I'm right there next to you, which drives me nuts, coz I really miss Japan! どもありがとうございます！
Thank you 🙏🏻
That's a cool idea with oil pressure or boost etc. at the mirror
been seeing takhishi's car in car meets. the setup hasnt changed much since its already so perfect!
interesting way to mount his defi gauges by the rear view mirror too.
nice episode dino! any updates on your 34?
I’ll get back to that money pit soon 😂
450 hp is real car culture.
Only og's will understand the meaning of this comment.
One of the best Japan Skylines unique wise
This car is amazing and I am watching it from Tokyo Japan and it makes want to drive around and experience the car scene in Japan. but I am pretty sure that the bucket seat are same as the bucket seat in Porsche CGT it might of been used for 911s as well but I know for a fact that it is totally identical to the period
Thanx For This.
I’ve been a fan of his R34 for a few years now now. It’s an inspiration. 🤎
Your camera settings are on point my man.
🙏🏻
exterior is beautiful
the c210 and R30s in the outro plz sir
Yasssssss been waiting for this feature for a while i love this car!
there’s no variety to r34 builds, they all look the same. But this is how they should look. Big fan of the wingless look.
Tell me you watch wagan midnight .... with out telling me
This dude has the soundtrack ready to go 😂😂 🙏🙏
Great video Dino, im curious if you have any information on that gauge set up on his rear view mirror that's very unique, is that a specific kit or something that is custom fabricated?
It’s a custom piece
33 seconds ago!!! First!!. Perfect wangan runner need no wing.
😮 that intro ❤
I think I’m addicted to this video 😊
Videos 2 clean bro, what kind of high quality gear are you and your mate using?
Sony cameras 🤙🏻
Japanese auto shops always have the best names
Hey there, what camera were you using? night shots look amazing!
Sony Alpha 7
Dino da GOAT 🐐
It's the best gts probably in Japan
what kind of kkk turbo is it. a k24 or k26. 450bhp is kind of low for an k26 but to high for an k24. that kind of confusing. probably in the end it is one of those special sard blitz kkk's that are kind of custom anyway. pretty wierd to see those turbos not in an audi, vw or porsche.
🤘🏾⚡️
I want this life.
We back Boyz
Nothing against other than JDM 😂😂
Hi Dino,can I check with you is there any car meetup at Akihabara or Tokyo during this week
There’s always gatherings at Daikoku pa if the weather is good 👍🏻
@@dino_dc Many thanks for your kind valuable advise and sharing bro.
What type of gauges are those that go on the rear view mirror ??😍
Defi
what camera and setup did you shoot this with?
Both Alec & I use Sony Alpha 7s
Where can I get that rear view mirror gauge pod?
Probably a custom piece
He's famous now with his 8181 r34..
Btw Dino, have you cover the blue R33?
Soon!
@dino_dc cool, can't wait
@Dino question for you so Larry Chen I believe did an episode on car mods being illegal in 🇯🇵 & car owners risk their cars impounded. Does Takashi have to deal with this issue?
No there aren’t crazy strict guidelines, just have to be smart about it
@@dino_dc so you can have mods but don’t go overboard? I watched that episode and was very confused as to why mods are illegal yet they sell & make them there and the fact that some people have to scout where the cops are so that they can avoid those routes and also having to tow your car to a car meet is just so ridiculous!
Wait, what happened to Tatsumi PA? Did they closed it?
It gets closed down every night now
Where can you find those gauge pods?
Custom built
what camera and lese combo do you use?
Sony Alpha 7iv & 16-35 GM
@@dino_dc awesome thanks for the reply!
are the internals stock?
Yep
@@dino_dc awesome that gives hope for people like me who can't afford a gtr or rb26. Thank you
Nice channel just put an subscription on. But the nissan rear badge looks silver not gold in the video, ive heard the original gold badges are so expensive.
Thanks for the sub! Yep the gold ones are hard to find and pricey
Do it on both
