@nightmathzombieethan This is from a documentary series in Japan called "Project-X" by the NHK public television channel. These 2 guys were part of the R380 development team. This was a historic car since this was in many ways the last hurrah for the Prince Motor Company which was about to be acquisitioned by Nissan Motors. All the racing development by Prince was subsequently used in future Nissan vehicles and Prince Motors was dissolved. One car from Prince remains to this day: The Nissan GT-R
@yellofury Ok, yeah wasn't Prince actually forced to sell itself to Nissan? Or Nissan was forced to buy it? Either way it's good to know that such a car was continued. I would give my left eye for an old 2000 GT-R! I wonder if Nissan ever would have gotten into sportscars if it weren't for that car, but on the other hand, If Prince had remained independent, I wonder what kind of cars they would be producing now... Thank you for the info!
@nightmathzombieethan They ultimately would have because rival companies like Mazda was coming out with racing versions of the Cosmo. My uncle has an older R32 Skyline GT-R which he has kept garaged to this day.
@yellofury Very cool. sadly I'm in the U.S. and aside from a few rare wealthy owners who found some legal loopholes, Skylines basically don't exist in this country as they are basically illegal to own here. Like I said, there are SOME loopholes but it's pretty much next to impossible to get one here.
@nightmathzombieethan Oh I hear you Im in Florida and I see more of the new GT-Rs but I am lucky enough to have family in Japan (and some wealthy enough to own a Skyline to boot)
Im just glad that some sort of GT-R is finally available here. Just think of it.. right now they are pretty pricey but 5-6 years down the road you may be able to afford one used.
It may still cost some bucks to maintain but you would be in the same boat if you got a used Porsche 911 or Ferrari. But now we have a chance
@yellofury Yeah, I'm happy they finally brought them here. I know a lot of purists argue that the GTR is NOT "officially" a Skyline but I have to laugh at that. it makes me think of the phrase "A rose by any other name....." A Skyline by any other name is STILL a Skyline! LOL
@yellofury what about the Skyline series (V35-V36)? the GT-R was once a variant that later becomes a separate entity but stems along with the Skyline in heritage.
@NoizeRPMD I actually like the idea of the V35-36 and in terms of the Skyline as the sedan and coupe it is a very successful generation indeed. They sell a bunch of them here in the US as Infinitis. But making one into a hypercar like the GT-R would be missing a certain element of muscle in the bodywork in my opinion (and the opinion of most enthusiasts in Japan). I believe Nissan wanted to make the current GT-R something very special that keeps pace w/ exotic cars for less price
That sound the motor made was like a symphony. Very emotional moment for those two guys. I bet their younger spirits were re-awakened by the sheer yet beautiful pitch of the S20 motor. Thanks for the upload.
Amazing car. It's clearly very emotional for the two of them as it was the last Prince they ever made. The both of them nearly shed tears. I think the Prince R380 is a truly brilliantly engineered car that simply cannot be replaced.
he's the chief of prince skyline racing development during the 60's & early 70's
"Dr. Sakuri of Prince took his Skyline GT's out to race at the 64 GP, only to have them defeated by a privately entered Porsche. Immediately after the race, Dr. Sakuri set up the Prince Motoring Club and began development of the R380. The original car used a Lola chassis as its platform, with 2.6 liter 6 cylinder Prince engine as its powerplant."
I don't know much about the history of the racing R380s, but it's obvious that as soon as that engine turned over the man in the cockpit was just overcome with emotion. Such a beautiful car. Who was that exactly?
