That's...uhh...okay...I'm at a loss for words. What hell?

Why go through all the extra work of that engine swap? Why not buy an entry-level Skyline and kit it up?

EDIT: Thanks for the explanation, Bus Driver.

EDIT: Thanks for the explanation, Bus Driver.

The cars sole purpose nowadays is to be relished as a movie prop. Nothing else.

THANK you and bus driver. gah i was wondering if anyone fucking read it! lol. it was probably one of the cheapest things they could find that would make for an easy rear engine swap. fucking-a... it serves its purpose for a movie.

Lol BINGO!!! And since none of you seem to know shit about people who make movies, they go for realism. Straight down to VW powering a Nissan Skyline for one shot. That's Hollywood baby. And...it's called Continuity. They have a couple of people on the set full time JUST to make sure shit lines up like that. That director said. "I want a real Skyline to go down those stairs because the audience will pick out a kit car in a heartbeat, build me one that will go down those stairs without falling apart" And guess what he got? Movie Magic. Cause I bet everyone of you all bitching would be the first ones to point out a fake kitted ass Honda going down those stairs.

And all you bitching that it's one more reason to hate F&F, the Import scene....and Skylines in general would't be half what they are in America without that movie. That movie introduced Skylines to WAY more people than the few who knew abouut them. Opening the door to more importers than just Motorex and their extremely high prices and illegal practices. WIthout that movie, half of what you see today here in the states, wouldn't exist.

I think that thing rocks. It's not built to be a show car, or "Clean". It's built for a purpose...one scene in a movie.
