In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Michael Forde to talk about what it really means to go all in on a dream car. Michael owns an R34 GT-R that has been completely refreshed by U.P. Garage, including the legendary HKS 2.8-liter engine — a setup that sits at the very top of the Skyline food chain.
Based in Orlando, Michael breaks down the local car scene, what it’s like owning a high-level GT-R in Florida, and the sacrifices he made to make it happen — including selling his house to fund the car and its modifications.
Michael also got to drive his R34 extensively in Japan before importing it, building a real connection with the car long before it ever became legal in the U.S. His story mirrors the passion, patience, and obsession that define true RHD culture.
🎙️ Big risks, real sacrifices, and a once-in-a-lifetime GT-R — this is what chasing the dream actually looks like.
