i recently went on vacation down to charlotte/raleigh in NC to visit my relatives. we stopped along the way at a lot of cool places and one of which was Gatlinburg, TN. i dont know if any of you have been there, but it is a big tourist trap. while there, i got the chance to go to the "Star Cars" museum. the only reason for doing this was out front they had the number 3 of whatever skyline gtr r34 from the movie 2f2f. now i live in the heart of IL in the middle of cornfields, and my Z is pretty rare around here, so this was the first skyline i had ever seen. it had all that ricey paint job and all, along with the 3 n2o bottles, full cage, stripped interior, etc. the motor was a very clean looking rb26dett and the only mods i could tell were the exhaust system and fmic. but it was still a skyline. other cars in the museum were the number 4 of 6 2g eclipse from the 1st f&f, one of the only remaining "elenor" gt500s from gone in 60 sec's, the general lee, one of the james bond z3's from goldeneye, and other various famous cars. all in all it was a very cool place.

also wanna say props on all the nice nissans in NC, some very cool 240s down there!!!

That GT-R was a rip... they disconnected the front drivetrain to make it slide more (RWD)...

I've heard that in the third one, one of the stunt drivers they hired was so disgusted with the fact that his RX7 was n/a, but had fake boost gauges electronically controlled, that he purposely "lost control" doing a big slide and smacked the sucker into a wall. Slowed down production a bit, and he's getting paid more (wtf?) cause the movie is taking longer...

LOL! Thats funny as hell.

I saw a royal blue R33 at a local car show. It had an RB Motoring sticker on the 1/4 window so I guess I got it from them. It had a lotta Nismo (white rims, spoiler, body accesories, and interior). There was some nismo in the engine and a couple other top brands as well. That beast looked clean and sounded mean. It was the first Skyline Ive seen in person and it was a fine example. I <3 R33s.

My senior class to a trip to Cali the week before spring break and I saw the 2F2F Skyline when I was at Universal Sudios. It was my first too! Anyways the next week I went on a cruise and we stopped in the Grand Caymans and I saw three more Skylines. It was the coolest thing ever!

I bought a Hot Wheels Hot Tunerz Nissan Skyline over the weekend. It was the first one I found that didn't have TOO much crap on it, just NISMO, Rays & BFGoodrich. Oh, and it was on clearance :D.

Some guy at RiverSide (My sucky SChool of hell) has a tt 350z that makes 460whp. he now buying an rb26dett and swaping it into his 350. (offtopic) My life sucks , 240sx is gone and my parent now want me to have a civic si (I hate). My mom keeps delaying every time I find a good condition 1995 + 240sx. Personaly I don't care what year. She says it a drift car and that is the only reason I want it. And my mom is now selling her x5( we have had the car 6 months) for a Rodster 350z auto.

Target Clearance is good to me :D. The things I've gotten and how cheap is scary. I've had cashier look at me like I put the little red stickers on there myself.

Plenty of other reasons to want it. Looks sweet, drives smooth, just in general a fun car, regardless of its position in relation to its inertia ;).

You can always run the "Winston HAS to drive a good-condition 240SX in his lifetime, and he COULD die tomorrow." Deal... cause you know I'm going to have to drive her at least once :D.

Yay for the X5-> Z thing though, even if it is auto. It'll work out man.
