Raced A Skyline In Phoenix
 
So, I'm on my way into work in my DD '07 C6. I spot an ultra clean charcoal grey skyline with huge black wheels on it. He obviously spots me in his mirror and starts switching lanes to let me pull up. I get closer and realize it's a RHD version and the plates say GODZILA. Uh oh.

So, I downshift to fourth to play a little. (should've used third) We line up at about 70mph and both nail it. I get about a half a car length and then he hits boost. He left me like I was in reverse. :rlaugh: Holy shit. Cool just to see such a rare car, even cooler to run one, even in my stock car.

It's gonna take more than a 2nd gen with a small block to beat a modded R3X.

It would take a lot more. That car is going to have forced induction after I have fun with it this summer.

You putting a blower on it, or going turbo?

I havent really looked at them all that much nor do I know a lot about them. I like the look and from what I've heard the engine is even better than the 2JZ for modding. Seeing one is special enough, running one is even more rare. Beating one...PRICELESS! for that occasion you should have bought the Z-06. ;)

I haven't decided yet. Might do one BIG turbo w/ intercooler.

as for buying the Z06, that would have set me back another 30 grand. And when I can do heads and a cam for about $3,000, you can guess what route I'm gonna go. That package with bigger injectors and a tune is good for north of 500 horsepower! :icon_tup:

werd its rare to see one . I ran into one when i was with my cuzin in staten island in NY. We was reading in a modded 350z and he smoked up BAD lol. Those cars are beast i will not deny them that. But the cost to get them over here is just out of my pay range.(for now)

We got lots of those here in canada...
you'll see more of the GTR and GT-S turbo... and many more RHD cars (fd, fc etc etc), but Lan-evo is rare here...(i saw only twice)

rotatech7 02-13-08 03:52 PM

no video ?? damn bullshit

Stix37867 02-13-08 04:05 PM

Was it a R33 Skyline? Possibly silver. If so i remember seeing it in an OLD issue of Turbo. I might still have it actually.

Et3rNaL 02-13-08 04:11 PM

Look into Katech. They do some sick NA stuff, and raise your redline all the way to 8 ^_^

rotarymandan 02-13-08 05:59 PM

I never see Skylines driving around...ever.

mikeric 02-13-08 06:08 PM

Get used to it. Once the GTR comes over here, this will be a much more common scene.
