In this video, Mr. Sakamoto travels to the airport to pick up Yuji (Yuji Gordon) who recently expressed interest in commissioning a build at SS-Active in Japan. Yuji Gordon is an Actor and Television Host based in Tokyo who also has a strong passion for cars. He also has a KZfaq channel, where he will share this process of building a Carbon-R at SS-Active.
Yuji reviews color samples that show the carbon fiber weave, and they discuss engine options for the build. Mr. Sakamoto has been building GT-Rs for almost 30 years, and in this video, they go to his warehouse, which had a completely untouched final model R33 GT-R with only 6,000 kilometers on the odometer, as well as an extremely rare R34 GT-R V Spec II N1.
Mr Sakamoto wants to do everything in his power to make the Ultimate Street car based on his client's requests and tastes, so in this video, he was really diving deep to get a better idea on how to customize this specific build.
SS-Active has been servicing, building, and selling R32 GT-Rs from across Japan for about 3 decades. Over the course of that time, they have been constantly looking to improve the cars in every aspect. In addition to parts becoming more difficult to find, newer cars were coming out with additional technologies. SS-Active has been striving to adapt these new technologies to the car that their founder has always loved most.
