In this epic adventure, the Hagerty team embarks on a pilgrimage to Garage Isida, a legendary Skyline restoration shop in Japan. This is where dreams come true, where the R32, R33, and R34 Skylines are given a new lease on life. People from all corners of the globe flock to this humble Mom and Pop shop to have their beloved Skylines transformed by the skilled hands of Mr. Yoshida. And let me tell you, these guys are the real deal.
What sets Garage Isida apart is their unwavering commitment to perfection. They don't just restore these cars, they resurrect them. Their chassis restoration process is a work of art, involving an OEM anti-rust dip and frame straightening that even Nissan themselves didn't think of. Mr. Yoshida's attention to detail is mind-boggling, ensuring that the restored chassis is more precise than when it first rolled off the factory line.
But it doesn't stop there. This man is a true visionary. He's not just restoring Skylines, he's creating a future for them. With the scarcity of parts, Mr. Yoshida has taken matters into his own hands, producing his own body panels and chassis parts that are even better than the originals. It's like he's giving these cars a second chance at life, a chance to shine brighter than ever before.
And let's not forget the driving experience. The team had the privilege of getting behind the wheel of one of Mr. Yoshida's track-ready creations, a beast of a machine that churns out a staggering 650 horsepower. It's a symphony of power, speed, and pure adrenaline. It's enough to make any car enthusiast weak at the knees.
In the end, the Hagerty team couldn't resist the allure of Garage Isida. They made a bold decision to have their own R34 GTR restored by Mr. Yoshida, becoming one of the lucky few to be part of his legacy. It's a testament to the undeniable skill, passion, and dedication of this man. So buckle up, folks, because this is a journey you won't want to miss.
