Fuel cell = plastic/fiberglass/rubber/metal tank with baffles inside to prevent the fuel from sloshing around and starving the pump. it's also MUCH tougher than a regular fuel tank in that they have to be able to withstand severe impacts without leaking. i.e. having sharp metal tubing poked at it like what would happen if two cars got smashed together in a rollover accident.

your fuel tank would crush like a tin can (because that's what it is).

the fuel cell would not leak or rupture.
but why is it up there?

Because they often take up the entire trunk floor and require a filler tube in a different place than stock.

(i.e. there's no trunk room)

I cant believe that the maxima uses gas shocks and the skyline uses a metal bar to prop the hood up.. what in hell is up with that?

I've never seen Craig Leiberman before... take a look at this pic:


Is Craig the guy wearing the plum colored shirt with black pants and black shoes? He's smack dab in the middle of the two cars.

I'm pretty sure that is Craig. I met him at the NOPI Nationals last year and talked to him for a little while. It looks like him, but I haven't seen him in a long time, so who knows.

I agree, it kinda looks like him. If you go here:

http://www.jbl.com/car/fast_furious.asp

and click on Video 2 or 3, there's an interview with him talking about the $75,000 Maxima. Damn, that car is so sweet!!

I would also like to point out that, In that picture Keving is looking at the skyline as well, He is the short guy with the receading hairline his hands in his pockets.

That Skyline has nice and rice stuff. I was thinking, "damn, that carbon fiber intake scoop is nice!". And at the same time," damn, WTF is that stupid *turbo oil cap* doing there?!" I also note that the tires look way to thin for the width of the rims.
