Hahaha!!! A R34 Skyline GTR tried to hang with me...

but he couldn't because I went to park somewhere else. No, no, no... it wasn't a race.

A R34 parked next to me at Stillen's Open House and I got some pics. I feel special.

Here's a pic:


Here are some more pics:

Even though the Skyline was parked, it still looked very fast parked. So I think I can safely say Kev got roadkilled.

Honestly I think Kev's car looks nicer. The R34 may be a rare car, but that one is too damn flashy (dare I say rice to a Skyline?). You car looks sooooooooooo damn good with those rims Kev!

Very nice, Kev. I love the strut tower brace on that Skyline. Looks very industrial and well up to the task of reinforcing the front end.

I personally want to smash that wing to a fine pulp, though.

Ugly paint job! (on the Skyline! )

Are there many people out there who have imported R34 Skyline's and got them converted to US specs??

Someone correct me if I'm wrong... I overheard him talking to someone about his car: ~550 whp.

He also said something like that was the Motorex Blackbird.

Thanks for the compliment guys. No, I haven't thought of "flying" with the Max. I'm not rice like Chebosto. Hehehe

it has the c-west body kit on it, so there's a good chance that it is the blackbird. blackbird - decals =

yo man i woulda busted a nut!! that car is sick. the colours of the decals dont mach right. i like the signal graphics. check out the signal skyline gtr on super streets site. 700 hp. full street car too. soooooo nice. was it craig leibermans? cuz i talked to him on the phone and he said he owns the blackbird. and i read it in a mag. the wheels on the black blackbird in SCC were way better looking than those too. but if he has a skyline... he prolly has extra sets of rims. i know i would. but man it woulda been kooler to have gone for a damn ride. i would melt in the seat. u got more pics of your cars together??? if u do, put it in that maxima calendar cuz ill look at it for a month

the real question is:

would it have screamed rice to you if civics and integras never started using them?

Youve got an EXCELLENT point. Saleen was using a similar wing on the S351, the top of the line model, of course, it was the same color as the car. The fact that these pieces of garb, like Corollas, civics, etc, have them, it makes that look like a Rice mad...Sometimes I look at my 2K2 tailights and want to get rid of them. I hope the 2K3 doesnt have them so I can get those.. !

Just FYI, there are LOTS of nationalities represented on this board. I'd say there's just about equal representation from everywhere (even those damn Canucks, Brits, and Kiwis)..

I've been to a few meets in Dallas that made me wonder what country I was actually in.

That skyline is craig leibermans art n motion r34...the reason why he painted it and gave it the rice treatment is because its the featured car in the fast and the furious 2..kev save the pics for bragging purposes.. that skyline is nice regardless and he drove it up to stillen like he was driving a any other car out there..i was shocked ...he had to go all the way to florida to get it registerd ..stillen day was dope i still got a smile on my face.

Fuel tank = big metal can with a filler tube and hole to install a pump

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.
