    Exclamation Who's Skyline??????

    Which of you owns the Super Sonic Metalic (SILVER) Skyline GT-S R33 that rolled up to stockbridge this Saturday. That was nuts seeing an R33 out like that.

    I see this guy all the time at the club called the peacock. He just shows up to show off. Be careful... he does not race that car he has another car that he races.. my guess is its maybe a hatch or a integra or civic because those are what his boys drive

    I've met him a few times, pretty cool guy. Everyone else makes a big deal about his skyline moreso than he does.

    I love skylines to death but some people blow it out of proportion, I'm always impressed to see one but jumping up and down yelling its a skyline (yes I have seen it done) is a bit much.

    With that said it is very cool to see him pull into a parking lot just to see the reaction and then to see how nonchalant he is about it.

    true, skylines are slow from the factory but all the rb series motors have the greatest

    the crank take away the lie of 280ps given to japanese manufactuers. the engine with

    rb26 short block handles 600ps and the exvitermini drag r33 is set to hit 1500hp.

    The skyline talked about now is not the street terror it could be, if the owner really

    invested in it that rb25, it could eclipse 800hp.

    There is a reason top secret has chosen the rb26 to power their z33, supra, and

    countless of demo skylines

    Heres the problem with that, you have an 800hp skyline that nobody knows how to work on because of how rare they are. Considering how much the guy drives his skyline I'm sure he wouldn't want to deal with the hassle every time he has to get something fixed. I'm already having that problem with a 400hp G35.

    to all you honda people

    because of the rb short stroke, (its an oversquare engine) the rb can rev

    past 10,000 rpm better than a b16 or b18

    strokes
    rb20-69.7 mm
    rb25-71.7 mm
    rb26-73.3mm

    true that, but you must consider that the vq35 has been around for only like 4 years and while there is aftermarket and tuning support, it still has to grow. the vq's capabilities arn't to that of a 17 year old race breed motor. Finding the tuning for it and spending the money is his business, besides i dont mean he has to im just saying if he invested he could.

    ps. real clean G35 tony

    ^ to add to that, think about the number of 240 swaps incorporating the rb25 and 26. with all the 240 shops in ga I am sure someone knows how to properly work on a skyline motor. as for the car itself, one may run into problems.

    He would not talk to me the he would on a regular night because of the guy there talking shit about "how his hatch runs 12.5s at the track blah blah blah blah...

    I can tell u this though he is from Hampton... He has money (he has a 97 skyline). From judging his character when h does something he do it right. When or if you ever see the car take a look at the aorodynamics of the car. The first night I met him all he spoke about was drifting. There are two touch screens insight the car. The one that comes with the car and another one which I think if I correct and make the car a rear wheel drive.... basically he has money period

    It is just a skyline..

    I mean hell it isn't even a gtr.

    Nothing to get panties in a wad over.

    Sure it looked good. But there were cars out there that night that looked better.

    It is probably kids who think that just because it is a skyline it is super fast.

    Or they talk shit because he obviously paid a shit ton for a skyline, that is if its a legal skyline...


    I'd take a gti-r over a rb20/rb25 skyline anyday.

    no... these are grown ass men who could both his and my uncles. he didnt spend as much as what I see skylines for on the internet. He bought it piece by piece... it works out a lot cheaper.

    me too. I think skyline was not built to show off it was made for high horse power outs and great handling capabilities

    lol... rb25 turbo came out it was the shit. I took America five years after its arrival to come up with a buick that was it the same class but rwd to beat it in the quarter mile stock for stock in the same class. (Can't remember the name of the buick could find out though).

    does that make you happy?
