Race Across Japan - GTR vs Bullet Train part 1 Top Gear - BBC autos

[S7r0ng3r]

What's the song at the start? It sounds almost as awesome as the Nissan GTR!

[fishboy01]

Who's Billy Oddy? Jezza seems to dislike him a bit

[TingTongMike]

Bill Oddie was a comedian and part of a trio of actors who called themselves "The Goodies" back in the 1970's. He is now and Eco warrior and notorious bird watcher and is everything Jezza hates.

[murphdaholdenhero]

lol, james about the trains. Im pretty certain that The Netherlands have the same trains as those.

[TheSuperSpongy]

guys! almost everywhere in asia (including japan), the uk, australia they drive on the left side of the road, right side of the car. america, and basically all europe (but UK) they drive on the right side of the road, left side of the car, stop being surprised by that! it's something you oughta know!

[TheSuperSpongy]

i think they're clearly breaking any speed law in every country they've visited, the speedo is hardly ever shown (however when it is it's always around 100 miles an hour) but it's clear they're going fast, but after all bbc just pays off the fine and whatever.

[johnnysally1]

[infringementMAN]

I once went to a Nissan showroom in Japan and took some pictures of a white GTR and a yellow 370Z. Suddenly this Japanese saleslady starts treating me like a customer! XD Brilliant.

[hunand]

loll

[hazface]

all the girls in japan are very pretty. shame i dont speak a word of japanese. i fear "can i buy you a drink" may get me nowhere.

[ShenmueAtheist]

I believe you'd say "Anata wa nomimono o kaimasen ka?"

[hazface]

i fear that it would come out "ablah blah shoogiewoogie o buyacar". Honestly, i have no word for languages at all.

[Ellisinho9]

hai

[wasifusion]

is it just me..but ads dont go away even when u refresh?

[RICKROLLBLENDER]

it's the annotations. Turn them off

[Podegra]

So they drive on left in Japan?

[ytkumasam]

BUT...maybe....I think that Navigation map is in Tokyo!

[jbelux]

[pskee123]

[nivekst]

@MegaMonkeyExtreme

Guess you haven't been on a Japanese commuter train recently. There are areas now to for taking calls.

[sergio73192]

if i were doing this race i wouldnt care if i lose ill be so happy that i get to drive a gtr

[teabag92887]

japan is the best country to live

free trip and an explanation to your boss if the train is late...imagine this in uk or any of the big European city

lol try comparing UK rail network and the japanese is like comparing an merc benz and a rover

[shimonization]

this train what they show on top gear is not even a japanese bullet train it is just a normal train in japan.

[AEC150090]

Is it just me or does Hammond kinda look like Eric Foreman

[Muckilove]

yeah, it's just you. Where do you see resemblance between the Hamster and Eric Foreman?

[AEC150090]

When hes on the phone with Clarkson.

[silverwolfalpha]

190 MPH!! If that thing crashes, can it withstand the shock or will the driver die 99.9%

[AEC150090]

If you crash at 190 mph youll probably die in almost anything but it also depends on what you hit.

[KingVirmire]

Top Gear is the bestest

8)

[eldictator1]

this is just HILARIOUS!!

[noahinbldr]

lol 3:02

[TheTizerChief]

Jeremy - "look at them they look like ramblers" LOLOLOLOL!!!

[KirkTheGod]

so, break the gearbox and you cant just get a spair?

[phantomTomcat1985]

you'd have to send it back to a Nissan authorized repair facility. If you're in the states you're looking at sending it either to one of two in the entire country, one in California and the other on the east coast. If you cant do that..you're looking at sending it back to Japan...along with your car.

[KirkTheGod]

oooh i mean, they're tailored to fit each engine? im sure they can bolt on another one

[phantomTomcat1985]

each trans. is tailor made and tuned to each engine. Therefore..they have to be repaired together.

[VelvetFuckinRevolv3r]

7:51-8:00 lol at hammond's face

crazy how the gt-r gearbox is tailor made to the engine

[Freedom20xx]

The expressway in Japan is 100k/h or less.

When 100k/h is exceeded, it gets busted.

In a word, this video is information on the lie.

[maxll1991]

didn't you see his trick?? Besides he never says that he is going faster so how could he possibly lie?

[qasid221]

:Lol

Get Outta Way Mannnnn

[GCDAWGSFTBL]

lol this show is great, some how i went thru Poland Germany and Switzerland

[TheTizerChief]

hammond said if the trains in japan are late you get a permit to say why you were late for work thats brilliant if you are late all you need to do is blame the trains to your boss =D

[MasterVW]

are you a twat? that permit is actually written which is simple to understand from what he says... you give a WRITTEN piece of paper from the trainfolks which btw are the most retarded bunch of people in the world..

[TheTizerChief]

OK I GOT IT WRONG BUT I'M NOT A TWAT

[rb26dettsr20]

[Goyatuzo]

They do that in Europe as well.  America's one of the only countries where you drive in the right lane.

[chalemalach]

[Goyatuzo]

Wait, what? Really?  I feel like retard now. :P

[zackwatt]

6:04 is the best!

[hahaha10001]

lol the datson!

[SARFI]

what a awesome car. but i still prefer r34 GT-R

[juanlmesl]

your saying that because thats the only car of that type, that you can afort, write?

[nguyenvinhvx]

To get the R34 GTR, technically, it cost more than the new Nissan GTR. It's more a prefer choice than what he can afford. And it's a hell of a car too. This new GTR is a production car, sure it's fast, but the old R34 is every tuner's dream. It's a legend in the tuning industry.

[juanlmesl]

i get it but thats the problem everyone wants the same car thats why i prefer the new one, few people see it or drove it.

[nguyenvinhvx]

Yeah, the new one is pretty damn sick...test drove it and my god, it make my CLS55 AMG feels like a...well...a 350 C class. So potent, so firm, so sure on the corners, it's absolutely amazing.

[AznTank]

3:04 - win

[Miki08051994]

speed camera coming up !!! xD

[canuck1980]

"is the seat taken"?..........lol

[ELITEnoOBno2]

SUNLIGHT!! It's gone again.. :D

[JHoff1991]

I still remember hearing about this car when it first came out: "the bargain supercar." But, I still don't understand why Nissan is able to build them so cheap.

Can someone help me out?

[bimmerm3freak]

even ho it can do what a lambo can would u buy a nissan for 400,000? is marketing

[ad1170]

their are many way t make thing cheap

1. the labour could of been cheap

or little changes to make it cheaper

this may be a stupid example but a match company one time took the striker off one side it only saved them 1p per pack but when in big quantities they saved millions

that all i can say hope it pointed you toward the ansewer

[Caninefire]

a lot of it may come from the fact that Nissan doesn't use vast amounts of ridiculous materials on the interior, the funky hand-upholstered leather made from baby seals and titanium buttons everywhere. It can also be just that you aren't paying so much for the name like you would be with Mercedes or Ferrari

[Baskentli]

It is the stupid luxury and showing off thing. A renault megane or a ford focus or a peugeot 308 are all much much much better than the Audi a3 except the interior quality, but they cost one third of the a3. Again, A toyota land cruiser or a nissan patrol are the kings of the off-road, whereas they cost less than half of a Q7 or a chayenne. Watch the tests and the lap times, a nissan GTR is a real nightmare for the porsche 911 and the R8, but costs less than half:)

[OytheGreat]

Haha, you've got to love the mask Jeremy made for the speed cameras!

[andreiclawhammer]

Superb car.

[alwjmonster]

Hammond call the GTR "datsun" at 5:03 zzz its a nissan, datsun been outdated since 1980

[IkusaSamurai]

it was a joke lol

and the candy girl is adorable xD

[26862]

captain obvious right here... datsun is the old nissan einstein. it was a joke and i really cant be bothered explaining how, although you probably need me to.

[JackMacyntire]

They've changed the music. What?

[wiltner]

That's not a Bullet Train at 04.50. It's some sort of express all right but not a Shinkansen. The line they were on is not a Shinkansen line.

[merakhagen]

If the train team take the Nagano Shinkansen instead, the GT-R will lose.

[tiropitaaki]

HELP!! 03:00

[evekaykay]

LMAO

"SUNLIGHT ! "

"and its gone again"

[nix831]

whats the song at 8:24

[abeismain]

[Icearnie]

"A man on skis playin a harp" - ahahha

[klgbjd]

3:01

[ciscoandparis]

ちょっ、前見てっあぶなっあぶなっ

[sammyspoon96]

lol the bill oddie mask

[vettefever67]

lol at 6:55 hammond's face

[Unonomouse]

Lol 9:41 "Hammond there's a man driving at 9 miles an hour!!!" HAHAHAHAHAHA

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

1:46 (O_O) BWAH HA HA HA HAAAA excellent

2:17 (o_o) DAMN thats cold as ice

2:59 ha ha MAP QUEST BITCH HA HA

3:05 look at his face when it came on. (voice translation: 'a sword is about to come out and make sushi out of this gaijin samurai champloo style'

4:30 also the worst thing cause is that trans goes out you haveto throw out the whole car or pay more than a new car to ship the car back to japan, them pull it part, build trans from engine stats, put it together, and ship it back to you

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

0:31 so what happens when you get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere....nitro isnt exactly available to the public at gas station or supermarket....unless hes joking (as obviously normal air isnt more unstable)

[kaiserschon]

it is, is unstable. thats why every single race "brand" as F1 and WRC and all those, use Nitrogen, because is very very stable. wont blow off, wont get too hot...you know.

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

doesnt nitrogen tend to blow up with out warning and/or taunting (hindenberg is flying over mi head right now)

[Elsaaabon]

Hindenberg was hydrogen, my dear.

And, IIRC, Nitrogen is stable. o.O

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

what the fuck is o.O

and you had better be a girl callin me 'dear' cause im not a fag

[nimdawf]

hi 'dear'

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

your not funny fagot

and its pretty stupid to say something then delete is just to say the EXACT same thing (spelled the same way) again

[vincent4492]

sunlight :D its gone again :(

[jsxleung]

richard and james are like talking to cows

soooo funny

nice one hammond

[asdf123625]

more like they are like cows trying to convey a message to humans

[jsxleung]

in chinese, we say 對牛彈琴

direct translation, it's like 'playing a piano in front of a cow'

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

now this is going to be embarrassing for you since you are supposedly chinese and im jamaican

but you said 'direct translation, it's like 'playing a piano in front of a cow''

when i put that chinese scratch in google translate it says 'Casting pearls before swine'

completely different, so i dont know what kind of chinese you are

[terrellyap]

i dunno which translator you used, but 對牛彈琴 does literally means wad jsxleung said. playing a piano to a cow.

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

i used google translate (and it didnt have a difference of cantonese or madarin so i know thats not it)

copy and paste, set the language to chinese, set the translate language to english, and what does it say 'Casting pearls before swine'

[Elsaaabon]

對牛彈琴 DOES say playing piano/harp to a cow. =D

And you DO know that translators are just rubbish most of the time, yes?

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

what ever i know what i saw

[jsxleung]

actually you're wrong

what i meant about 'playing a piano in front a cow' is that one person doesn't understand wat the other person says

its like a british using english to communicate with a japanese

'cast pearls before swine' means that things should not be put in front of people who dont appreciate their value

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

i got what it means,i just dont get why the translation is different

[ANormalGuy]

I should feel happy that isnt a mask of my face lol...

[eurokevin5]

You must see the cars from Japan in 2030!!! DAMN. Than they fly I think :D ( sorry for bad language.

[Fertro]

"HELP!"

[meleounisch]

gtr rocks
