Nope...not me! I think it's a bad idea..the car is bulky and heavy..not rally material at all.
I had seen a picture of a white R33 GTR taking part in a rally - I think it was a tarmac rally somewhere in the Oz - the car was stuck in the middle of 2 branches on a tree! I think I had posted the pic somewhere in this forum a long time ago! Definitely not a good idea methink.

Yea, to heavy. But if you really wanted to be unique. I bet a stripped R32 GTR or GTS-4 would be pretty fun if you got it down to like 1,500lbs

Rhys Millen drove a white R33 imported by Motorex in the Pike's Peak(Colorado) Hillclimb once. This was a few years back, before he started driving Evos.

Fyi, the same R33 was later painted yellow and used in The Fast and The Furious. The car was later taken back by Motorex and dubbed 'Big Bird.' The last I read, it runs mid-10s in the 1/4 mile.

I thought the Big Bird was a black R34 GTR? I could be wrong though...

But the yellow skyline in F&F was a R34. I mean that front end was definitevelly no a R33 one.

Darkness is way correct.

F&F was a R33.

Big Bird is a R33 as well

The One in F&F is an R33. I read an article on it a while back before the movie. WHen they were installing their NOS Fogger system.


And Blackbird is an R34 :finger:
