World's Slowest Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R: Rear-Engine VW Powered

1. Known as the Nissan Skyline GT-R buggy, this car has a rediculous high-water stance since the car was specifically built to have a high clearance and be able to make it down a stair case. It was used in the scene where Paul Walker took the staircase shortcut in the movie.



2. Where is the legendary RB26DETT? Mid-engined RB26DETT?



3. Lets take a look in the back. It is powered by VW motor!

That, of course, is an air-cooled engine. I wonder how he keeps it from overheating ......especially pushing a car like that, which is much larger and heavier than that engine was designed for. Normally, air-cooled VW's had a row of big slots on the engine cover to let air in (one reason why spark-plug wires sometimes shorted out in the rain). But I don't see any in this picture, although, of course, some of the view of the rear trunk-lid is cut off.

Sometimes it seems that far too much importance is placed on something being the first one or the original or used for some special event. Well that's just dandy, but essentially useless now.
