A ricer got a skyline, nooo

Some ricer got his hands on this skyline it just dont look right. :bloated:
What do u think about this car and ricers in general

Personally I think that it looks pretty cool. it is done up in a tasteful way that shows-off the powerful stance of the R34 GTR. This is a great car with amazing performance; adding a few decals and big rims does nothing to detract from this. it is what is inside that counts!

Remember this is a Skyline GTR and some prefer the overstated look to the understated look that makes cars like the BMW E46 M3 and the F355 ferrari look so fragile and feminine.

Again, just my 2 cents; what makes this world great is that there are so many diverse opinions out there.

:rolleyes:

That actually looks pretty damn fine to me! :D

me no see no rice :huh: me see pretty damn good mota :)

I love the signal skylines.

now am I imagining things or is that the R34 GTT not the GTR:confused:

GTR normally has 1 reverse light (clear) and 1 fog light (red) beside the liscence plate

GTR normally has 1 reverse light (clear) and 1 fog light (red) beside the liscence plate It’s hard to tell with the boot up, but the rear tail lights look the same as the GTR (aren’t they a bit smaller on the GT-t???! )

I think it looks pretty nice, me no likes shiny wheels but hey... I'd drive it :D

And I think it's a GTR, kinda hard to tell from that angle but the guards look pumped.

i dont know wat u thinkin but i love it. i think dat person cleared out the rear fogs or changed it. u might not know.:D

that car not only has the look, but its got the ammo to back it up. It was in a Option video a few month ago, 400m 9 sec(400m's close to qtr miles), wails around the track as only a GTR can. Lap under a minute at Tsubaka. This is one car that's capable of putting the wing to real use. Rice or not, I bow to this car.

no way is signal's r34 riced. thats one bad @ss car.

think u need to clear up ur definition of rice.:D

i would give my middle testicle for that car.:) :D :) :D

I think it could go without the red stripe thing!

cruz020,

I agree about the stripe going.

Ok I just got a Super Street Mag with that car in it (and some other bad ass GTRs aswell :licker: ) and it is friggin C L E A N! I'll scan some pics later :)

yeah i just got the issue of super street too. sooooo sweeeeeeeeettt. sooooo many skylines. i love it. by the way does anyone know what company makes that red stripe decal. i think its a nismo cuz it resembles the old nismo sticker. but i'm not sure its just a guess. can someone clear that up for me. i've been seeing it a lot lately and its bugging me that i don't know.

thanks

and the r34 on the cover is the main car in the fast and the furious 2 just some added info for those interested.

The Signal R34 GTR actually did an 8 on street tyres :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

Rice is trying to make a (Japanese) car look like something it's not (a race car). This is a race car, and a damn fast one, so it is definitely NOT rice.

They can make the car look however they want because it has the goods to back it up.

8 on street tires, do not believe everything you read. The fastest skyline is in the low 7s, even if it street tires your not going to come close to the 8's. I am talking street tires, remember.

As I remember it, Veilside held the record for fastest 4wd on street tires in an R32 at 8.747. and HKS had the Drag Slicks record with 7.671 at 181.98 mph in an R33.

hey, someone actually reads Super Street!!:D I usually stay away from those rags, but I happen to see it at the bookstore with the car featured. Yes, the stats are correct, I dug up the video having entered the post. Sure enough, its the same stats. Its Options Video no.91 for anyone that's interest. It came out late '01, you might still be able to order it. In the vid, Yamada actually drove it around Tsubaka with the muffler hangin!!

There not true street tires in the sense of the word. That is what I am getting at. Nope, still have to claim shananagans:D

I'll claim shananagans on your shananagans! ;) Street tires are tires that you can drive on the street with out getting a ticket when the five oh pulls you over. Street legal tires.

dw1784: Yea I had to buy it, I saw Craig Asshole's GTR purging on the cover and saw that it promised other articles about Skylines, and it was a thick mag, so I had to buy it :D

Gonthrax,

You can't do that. Just throw shananagans around like that without any just cause. I have sober children in china go to prison for less crimes than that:rolleyes:

As my daughter would say, "WHATEVER" \/\/

He got mad wires in da trunk!!!!!:confused: :confused:

Yes... Yes He Does...

Sky, I've tried for several minutes now to imagine a grown man saying "Whatever" in a child's voice, but I can't stop laughing :hehehe:

Have to agree with Gonthrax; they are street-legal tyres. - And they are very different from drag slicks if you look at them side by side. And anyway, they're street-legal, therefore, they are street tyres, by definition.

The Signal R34 GTR pulled an 8.9 on street tyres, and Signal decided they wouldn't drag it any more, but would go for circuit instead.

One has to wonder why they would decide somthing like that... After running an 8.9, I'd say "ok guys, lets see if we can get 8.5"
Oh well, I guess circuit is more fun :D

Well, that was according to the High performance Imports video (I forget which number); so it could be complete bollocks. They were showing it at the Tokyo Autosalon, where it was sitting with a very proud card in the window with their 8 sec time. :D

Gonthrax,

Thats an easy question, they are limited not by power, but traction:D

Moondog,

Do you have the 60ft times on that 8.9 run?

Doh, it all seems so simple now, damn you Sky, damn you! Now you're showing me up, when you first started comming around I was the one going "No Sky, it's like this" ;)

What do you mean by "Now":p I have always been the man:D

:hehehe::hehehe::hehehe::hehehe:


By the way, I've just noticed somthing in your sig. Why do you have 245/45s on the front and 255/40s in back, I always thought one would do it the the other way 'round. With lower profiles in front and higher in rear for traction :confused:

I though we talked about that? Tramlining(sp) problem.

that guy must be on crack. as soon as i saw that skyline i knew that it was Signal Auto's street spec skyline. with over 750hp at the wheels and the last time i saw about it it runs 11's on the 1/4 mile on street tires. but i guess its gotten even more monsterious.

Yes sir :) Damn Tat, I just checked your sig and I see you've been busy! I remember when you were bitching because it wasn't running right :D



Sky: I remember now :)

yup i've been busy. and all that hard work and sweet and most of all cash finally paid off. my car is finally a decent contender!!

Your car is sweet. I give you props on that one. White looks so good on those.


Are those the factory rims, if so you plan on changing them out?

thanks. those are factory rims. i'm gonna probrably change them for a set of decent weight 17 inch rims. the design will be a gun metal 6 spoke with a silver lip with bolt patterns. anything that looks mean!! cause thats what nissans are known to look like. mean! :devil:
