Hi

I saw this on another forum, had to share http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3etFKjGiibc&feature=player_embedded#t=146 

Go on click it, its worth it.

hahaha.

Just show my little bro. the fella wants an R34, told him this would be the go :P


Take that to the ricer shows!

haha thats the way they should have been built in the first place! who needs the sound of a turbo when you can have the sound of a old volksie engine

for those people who dont have enough bandwidth to watch youtube vids its vw engined blue skyline stunt car from the lastest fast and furious movie

guess it musta had one of those ebay fake blow off simulators

why would they do that? i dont care about the skyline.... but don;t see the point? weight??

It's a pretty common thing to do with cars for movies... custom build multiple cars for different purposes. This one would've been a stunt car.... you want something easy to fix/patch up for "incidents" that happen, so you go for the cheapest and simplest mechanicals, a really strong frame (check out the cage) and easily replaced exterior panels. Basically a sand rail with a body hung on it.

A ton more pics at http://cgi.cafr.ebay.ca/Skyline-R34-GT-T-Dune-Buggy-Fast-and-Furious-GTR_W0QQitemZ270448008927QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRace_Cars_Not_Stree t_Legal_?hash=item3ef7f51edf&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_822wt_1165

Best example would be the Herbie movies... I read somewhere that across all the movies they built over 200 "Herbie's" !!!

The nissan engine was probably constantly shittin itself so they wanted something more reliable

They could have at least made it not have the stance of a pajero.

agreed. needs some bags of cement in there..

hilarious, height may be because height doesnt matter when its airborne etc, would be funny to have but still i wouldnt want it

I originally thought someone has been smoking way too much weed. I can only hope this lead to some nice footage of an airborne skyline landing motorcross style. I can't imagine why else you woudl spend that much money to create something like that.

^^^ agreed. Id just wreck the skylines....
