In this thrilling episode of Hagerty, L Chan embarks on a journey to witness the resurrection of his beloved R34 GTR at garage isida in Nara. The team's meticulous restoration process involved treating the chassis with epoxy solvent and undercoating to combat rust, while the engine underwent a complete rebuild, ensuring it ran like a dream. The car's transformation from a rusty shell to a gleaming Bayside blue beauty was a sight to behold, with each panel receiving multiple coats of paint and meticulous sanding and polishing.

After rigorous testing on the dyno to ensure the car hit its stock horsepower, L Chan finally got behind the wheel for a test drive. The custom sound deing resulted in reduced cabin noise, enhancing the driving experience. The Nismo side skirts, rear spats, new headlights, and badges added a touch of finesse to the car's appearance, making it a true head-turner on the streets of Japan. The drive felt both familiar and exhilarating, with the car's performance matching its stunning new look.

Day two brought a closer inspection of the car's underside, revealing the shiny shock towers and engine bay that sparkled like new. The refreshed motor, now producing around 330 horsepower, was complemented by new components like the heat shield, further enhancing the engine bay's aesthetics. The presence of the exclusive garage Isa plate served as a badge of honor, signifying the car's complete restoration under the skilled hands of the team at garage isida.
