Was on the phone to a guy at A&A corvette, complaining about a z06 not making more then 700hp cos the supercharger belt is slipping, as soon as i mentioned my email he asked if i was into skylines, then told me about this

2 r33's in the states are getting crushed because they are not allowed to exist. one is from the fast and the furious.

sorry if this is a re-post. its kinda f'd up if you ask me.

Re: "Dead Car Walking" X2

Didn't know they had the death penalty in Wisconsin.

It'd be nice to successfully appeal to the Governor to save them.

Especially if his pockets are empty from the GFC.

Where's Mr Walker?

Where's Mr Leno?

Where's Chuck?

Really shouldn't believe everything you hear and see. When I was in LA last year I saw this car at universal studios as well as a lot of the other cars from the film

That was last year....

It was confirmed earlier this week that big bird was indeed crushed. Pretty f*cked for the owner, especially considering most skyline owners in the USA have been getting notices giving them 28days to send the car overseas.

yeah i posted this already in the wasteland news and events section.

there is almost too many sections on this forum..

i would be tempted to do the jailtime to keep the cars, maybe he avoided a criminal record by doing so? pretty messed up they wouldnt even let him try and sell them overseas, would have gone for at least 15k each over here!

Actually its worse then that , homeland security is confiscating all skylines imported and used on the road " illegal imported contraband" no warning they just get a door knock , no choice but to let them haul it away !!! The usa forums are spewing cause thats how they found the cars in question trolling forums only cars allowed to stay are pure race cars not road worthy

the cars in LA are the GTT 's used in fast and furious as stunt cars , they all had gtr kits , the gtr hero car was stolen from the lot and never found

I actually found a Kaizo car while searching for my GTR. So yeah, funnily enough - some of them do make their way from JAP - USA - AUS.

Hows this for a build plate -

Sorry but this extract from the article just upsets me.

"Brown County Deputy District Attorney Dana Johnson offered Beno a plea deal wherein he would accept the misdemeanor charges and give up both fully restored Skylines. After offering to pay the fines and help the authorities find buyers for both machines overseas, the prosecutor declined."

These actions are lacking any sense of rational direction. They almost appear to be a low personal attack against the owner of the cars or a simple vicious power trip which is plain destructive and unnecessary.

If the cars were sold, imagine how many homeless children could have been fed or clothed with that money. If the facts in this article are true, the relevant authorities should be ashamed by their actions.

No argument there Chris.

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
