Default Skyline's Galore...

Thought most of the user's would enjoy seeing some picture's of some Skyline's have come across during my time as the GTROC West Midlands Repersentative.

Firstly,the Top Secret Drag R II,i've seen the car a few times now,and most recently was taken for a blast around an air field in it. I've been out in a number of 550/600bhp+ cars,but nothing could touch this when it comes on full boost..




I've seen the JUN Lemon a number of times,having seen both the R33's together at a dyno day a few years back,with a group shot of everyone that was there.















There's a mix of other pictures i've collected,with the last few shots of the various Skyline's me and my family have owned,at the moment i drive a GS300 if anyone is wondering..

Suffice to say,more than clear that i'm a Skyline nut

Very nice indeed.

I miss the Skyline name. ...I read the title and first thought Skylarks galore. Who cares?

You British guys are very fortunate, reading some of the latest British Japanese car magazines, new rules are relaxed on importing any of the Japanese cars of the last decade, so the roads can have insane Top Secret, and JUN skylines, etc. just running around, that is just to cool!

we always get shafted when it comes to stuff like this . The US is tight when it comes to emissions regulations and federally mandated statutes

the rules were stupid tight at one point,it's not as harsh as the states law's are,but they were very bad not to long ago!

i'd ditch the skyline's and move to the USA in a heart beat to be honest,i'm a sucker for heat,beaches and hot women,skyline's can wait then

In my humble opinion, the R33 and R34 Skylines are some of the most amazing sports cars ever produced. and there are some extremely beautiful examples in these pics.

I also wish we had more of them in the states but at least we can get them, or at least could, is that co motorex I think it was still importing them? these cars are on my "someday" list for sure
