Quotes
Kozo Hoshino: Among the GT-R line, I've had four GT-R's each. The debut of the R32 had a huge impact on me. When the R33 came out, it really was a disappointment. That was a flop. You ready, '''DORIYA!!!! '''After I got rid of the R33, I got another R32, now my fourth car is this, the R34 GT-R!!
