    Smile World's Slowest Nissan Skyline R34: Rear-Engine VW Powered

    World's Slowest Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R: Rear-Engine VW Powered

    1. Known as the Nissan Skyline GT-R buggy, this car has a rediculous high-water stance since the car was specifically built to have a high clearance and be able to make it down a stair case. It was used in the scene where Paul Walker took the staircase shortcut in the movie.



    2. Where is the legendary RB26DETT? Mid-engined RB26DETT?



    3. Lets take a look in the back. It is powered by VW motor!

    For those who keep asking "why?" remember its a movie car. In the movie industry they dont care. The car was probably a total loss with the frame rails destroyed at one point. Its much cheaper for them to buy that car for like $1000 and put a $100 VW motor in it and fab the brackets and shit than find a real R-34 and then do the needed mods.

    Its like when you see a "'57 Chevy Bel-Air" that has been prostreeted. Do you think someone in their right mind would tub to hell an original Bel-Air? How about remove the matching numbers fuel injected small block for a 908ci 8-71 supercharged monster?? No. It started the project as a rust bucket 110 model that no one cared for.

    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.

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

    they probably did it for weight. if the Rb in there the car would have nose dived down the stairs. So they put a lightweight motor in the back of the car to keep it balanced in teh air.

    It was for the staircase scene. It's not unusal for a studio to build cars for a specfic reason. Plus this is a kaizo not a real skyline a good replica tho lol
