Re:A Skylines end
look at the pics a little closer... theres nothing in the car. no motor, exhuast, tranny, axel, interior. it was just a shell. and it wasnt even a r32 or r33 just a normal v6 non turbo skyline with a body kit on it. maybe worth a total of about 8 grand. Im thinkin the car was stolen and stripped and was a total lose and who ever owned the car got paid from their insurance company. im no expert of the skyline but ive driven about 8 of them and in the process of tryin to get one exported from japan. brand new the skyline is only about 18k to 28k us in japan but the cost of exporting and making street legal can also be about that much when its all over with.

its a base r-34. but if you look at the first pic you can see 2 bullet holes. and the whind shiled is smashed in. i think no one will realy no what hapend to it. but i highly doubt it was from to many tickets like the web site says.

Re:A Skylines end
i don't understand why they would destory it in the first place. its worth money even if its hot and has bullet holes in it. the government could give it a new title and sell it at an auction. whole thing seems wierd...

you dont know much about skylines for having "driven about 8"
the skyline in question is not a base model (that goes to the 2.0 non turbo 4 door ---- box) its NOT a V6 and it does have a turbo..
we've had cheap skylines over here for years.. R32 GTR's are now worth about £6-7000 in good condition.. ive been in a few and although they are reasonably rapid they are nothing special in standard trim..
they are heavy.. so heavy that the standard 276bhp is needed to pull the thing along... they dont handle well on tight/twisty roads because of the size of them..
take away the enigma of the skyline badge and all you have is an over rated over blown fat japanese tourer
