**** it, I'd take the car. Remove the neon, put the factory wing back on, maybe repaint it, or peal off the vinyle details.
Although, knowing how movies work, it's probably not even a GT-R! |
Am I the only one...
Who thinks the Skyline is ugly as sin? Outside the power of it, I really don't like the body. Looks too much like the old 240 / Honda Prelude. :gotme:
The only thing I like about that pic is the neon! :nervous: :wall: |

Those rims are sweet... If that really was a GT-R someone needs a major asswhooping.

Skyline was never imported here because of the emissions. Something about it being too high. Read it somewhere a while back. I would take a STI over a skyline :-). Better yet, give me a porsche GT3. I would take that anyday.

:007: RICE!!!

I already got my (JDM) Skyline :)

...I just think it has a tough look, it is sleek without being wimpy, race-ready without looking ricey... It definitly is the Jap Mustang and it has a better more original look in my opinion. Although I admit, exclusivity is appealing too since there aren't a lot over here.
|
i've read about that skyline in scc mag this morning...it's pretty much stock....have three bottles of nos on the passenger seats which haven't been connected to the engine.....btw..that car is suppose to be a 505hp and 444tq car in 2F2F.....
|
I honestly didn't think someone could rice out a skyline, but wtf, with all those exterior mods, that engine stock really can't back them up. Could they have at least gotten a boost controller or something, sigh.

Sorry I had to get as many smilies in as possible on this whole crack-basher kick... |
Its really is a R34 Gt-r....but they made it hollyWood and slow (it has been ragged on to the point it only runs mid to low 14s)......:mad: ......What a waste of a pretty Skyline!:thumbsdow

I heard all sorts of things about the intentions to bring the Skyline to the States. Just keep your fingers crossed because today, the auto industry is so freaking cut-throat that they're doing anything to gain the edge in image, volume, profits or all of the above.

In Japan the 350z and G35 is called the Skyline coupe and sedan but they havent made the GT-R series yet. It would be awesome if they put the Q45 V8 and some turbos in it the new GTR:D ...but the VQ35 and some turbos would be kool too:) |
Originally posted by Kojiro_FtT Um, it's already happened. motectransam, meet the http://www2.nissan.co.jp/SKYLINE/V35/0301/"]Nissan Skyline V35[/URL], aka http://www.infiniti.com/content/0,,cid-23920_sctid-12001,00.html"]Infiniti G35[/URL]. Now we are just waiting for the GT-R version. But I heard they were gonna call it a G35 R-Spec, and drop the GT-R badge????? How can they do that, that's nutz! We'll see. (oh I forgot to mention the GT-R prototype was a left hand drive ;) ) |

Originally posted by Matthew What are the projected figures on a twin turbo 3.5 L VQ??? 420+whp possible??? I have seen different projects with the VQ30,VQ35 and the Q45 engine...most likely the Vq35 with some turbos.....i wouldnt be suprised if it was around 500hp, it will break the >280hp mark japan has most of their sports cars.... O and it better be AWD!!!Thats what a Skyline is all about!!! |

Originally posted by gtbigup motortrend a few months featured a company in ca. that supposedly was given permission to import them.Funny thing is they were all used and still had a hefty high $30k for like a 97.Didn't hear much more of that.BTW I have been a motor trend subscriber since 97 more than 30k for a R33 GTR (the 97) |
that 2fast2furious syline is sweet
1100 hp on the bottle... got some pics of it on my website <~~~~~~ Towards the end of hot import nights section 3 12lb composite bottles = :D |
Originally posted by Matthew ...I could do without all the neon, but you know that car would be a major head turner man, c'mon... :o |
I cannot stand what craig lieberman has done to the beautiful skyline, he's the biggest ricer of them all...but then again if the cars were all plain and not "tricked out" then this movie wouldn't be a comedy.

Originally posted by jessa that would be craig libermann..turned this work of art into that "TRICKED OUT" SKYLINE WITH APC STICKERS, RACING STRIPES AND BOTTLES OF NAWWWZ IN THE BACK But anyways, I saw the movie, and aside from being a DSM commercial, it wasn't all that bad. In fact, it impressed me how good it was. My buddy and I wrote a review. I actually really liked the GT-R in it. It changed my opinion of neon. (oh and FYI, they do pay their respects to american muscle when Walker admits that his Evo and Tyrese's Eclipse won't be able to beat a Charger and an old Mustang) |

Skyline GT-R was never sold here cause of price and image. The old 300ZX was a 40k car and NO ONE was buying it. A GT-R would have been at least 60k. Prices kept going up as well. Nissan figured it would be too expensive.
Also, they did some research on the Acura/Honda NSX and found that the market is not too fond of 60-90k Japanese sports cars. People cannot justify spending that much on a Honda or Nissan. So they said no. Damn shame, the R32, R-33 and R-34 GT-Rs are some of my favorite autos. Amazing cars that can take gross abuse. Can be modded with a wrench and some gum. The G35 is the Skyline but no GT-R. Carlos Ghosen and co. promises the R-35 will be a global car. Though, with their cost cutting, I am afraid it might not be worthy of the GT-R name. We'll see. The paint jobs are for the movie. It's a movie, get over it. |
the car is 505 HP alone, I dont know If Ill belive that, but Ill believe the 600 extra, thats a 600 shot....I just wonder if the motor can handle it

Originally posted by ch13f I have a very very strong feeling that they lied about those specs on that skyline. To get 1100hp out of that car, it costs a ton of money, now I'm not saying that the movie didn't have a huge budget, but honestly, there's no way. You really only build an 1100 hp skyline if you intend to race it competativly, thats a show car, the closest thing to a race track that car will ever drive on, is a closed movie set. IMO, The chances of that car having 1100hp is about as good as the maxima in the first one running 10s. Unless you were being sarcastic of course, then I just wasted a lot of typing. "Inside, the warehouse looks more like the set of Gone in 60 Seconds, with its rows of dream cars closed off from the rest of the world. Over here sit four matching Hemi-orange Challengers, one with a crunched nose and broken glass. There are two Le Mans-blue Yenko 427s, one of which we later try on for ourselves. In the corner sit five Baja-looking Dodge Ram 1500s, clad in Road Armor-supplied garb, while facing them are two identical Nissan Skylines, right-hand-drivers, intimidating just standing still. Shells of other cars, many unidentifiable, lie scattered about the rest of the warehouse, between the odd Toyota MR2, Acura NSX and Mitsubishi Evo VII." and they couldn't afford to build up one of the skylines??? :rolleyes: |
Sure they could afford it, but the question is.. why? With all of the camera tricks available and digital imaging there is no reason to. Oh, and KiLLeR2002se, the R34 GTR is stock with 280hp.. I dont care how built an engine is, you can't run a 600 shot, you would send a rod into orbit. Just FYI, the rb26dett can handle like 500hp more or less on stock internals, after that it gets expensive. Oh, and Lumbee1, most cars in movies or music videos/whatever are rented.. yes craig liberman does own a couple of them, but look at the maxima he used to have.. it was an extremely heavy, slow show car. I think it was a pretty good indication of how concerned is with performance. I never said they couldn't afford it, but making a movie is all about profits, why would they blow 100 grand or more on something that nobody will ever be the wiser on. Saying that the car has 1100hp is all for publicity.. Until I see that thing up on a dyno I'm not going to believe it.

Im on the same boat as you ch13f, but money isnt a problem for him...

Did you read the superstreet article on that skyline? i think it was superstreet..... the owner of the Skyline also built the Supra in the first movie. They just make copies of it for the movie....the original beast is gutted out with 3 or 4 carbon fibered nos bottles in the passenger seat -150 shot-. it was fully rebuilt and all the upgrades! But whats the deal...there are a couple 1000hp skylines, the owner of APEXi has one! and he babbies it like no other please correct me if im wrong i could be thinking of another skyline!:confused: |
I read an article a year or so ago veilside has a r34 rated at 1000 or so horse power.
