Yea that's Rex's car, and yes I do think the NICO stickers are a bit (or a lot) tacky, but he also owns NICO, and the golden rule is he who has the gold makes the rules.

Rex started NICO like 2 or 3 years ago and that car was one of the reasons he did it. Currently he has twin 3in downpipes that feed into a 4in exhaust, an intake, and the NISMO twin disk clutch. The car is in the high 12's, and we're about to embark on the "600hp upgrade" I've been trying to talk him into for the last year.

His other toy beats the living crap out of the skyline.... I'll give you a hint, it's street legal, has 2 wheels, and traps at 192mph in the quarter.......

motorex charges that to cover their costs of making the car legal in the u.s. they had to wreck three of them to get them crash tested and legal. it makes perfect business sense to charge that much.

One...they bought salvaged cars to test crash.Two...i don't believe they had to use a gt-r to test crash, they just had to use each body style (not positive about this)Three...they have definitly covered their cost.Four...there have been at least two customers I know of that have returned their cars because they were salvaged before they got here and there was frame damage.

Point 4 is the real reason why Motorex stinks.

Let's get this straight!

So.... you're saying Speedoctor is Rex.... and he is behind NICO and Motorex? That's cool!!!! He must be making a MINT!!! How many Skylines has he sold..... God I wish I had money!!! Someday! Couple more years till I'm done..... How'd he come up with the capital to import the several initial cars to crash and pass the DOT bs? I guess all it takes is a good idea and the know-how to mke it happen!

Rex has nothing to do with Motorex, all he did was buy a car there.

Everybody at NOPI met him, and he was wearing his NICO shirt with the three letters R E X on them, so everybody who was there knows.

Anyhow..... he's not rich, and this is just a hobby for him so don't get too excited.

if all he did was buy a car there why did fred say he thought they were supposed to call him speedoc? why was rex a secret? in the old site it was said that speedoc owned a skyline, on the boards or in the registry, i can't remember. what's the big deal?

I'm not sure what any of this means.... but I seem to recall a Drew Carey episode that had similar dialogue.

The first quote is applying Speed Racer Dialogue to this thread.The second quote is real Speed Racer Dialogue spoken by Trixie.The third line is my own. I can't believe I have to pay money to my university when I'm giving y'all an education for free.

i want a GT-R, and i dont care if it has a cheesy embelem... id so take off all the emblems period so people would so think it was a stupid honda with a skyline body kit... then id race them and laugh as they realize the beautiful sound of twin turbos spooling and say ... "hmm, maybe its not really a honda" and with the drop of the clutch and a silent stealthy launch id vanish into the night... okok i know i lost my mind somewhere... have you seen it???
