Default Beat a Skyline GT-R

No I didn't race one. No way I could win that. I put my SC in a fairly big (for this area) car show and won 1st place in my class - Asian Imports. Second place went to my dream car - a 99 Skyline GT-R. The car was absolutely beautiful! Built from the ground up by Top Secret. Third place went a Suby WRX. Nine cars in the class.

Some mods of the Skyline included HKS FCon V, A/F meter, DEFI head up display, ETS controller, Blitz boost controller, HKS V Cam controller, NISMO 320 km/h white face gauges, Aragosta Suspension, Ikeya Formula links, HKS VCam #15/30, HKS TO4Z, RB26 which is now 2.8L, Top Secret one-off titanium exhaust, Top Secret titanium intake piping, ARC intercooler, oil cooler, Top Secret front bumper, Top Secret CF front splitter, Top Secret CF rear diffuser with CF vortex generators, Full leather retrim with red stitching carried out by Robson Leather, a ton of CF on the inside done by Robson Leather. Volk Racing wheels.

The car was in the movie Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift. In the movie it was painted Bayside Blue. It was re-painted by Top Secret in Nissan Midnight Purple III. The owner is a great guy and takes great pride in his baby.

I know judging is subjective and the judges definately new what the GT-R was. The Skyline is a rare car and I would have scored it over my SC anyday......but I'm not complaining

Wow nice GTR. Please tell me your car is modded more than your sig pic. All I see is a stock sc with a debadged grille. The judges must have been 65+ retirees lol

No mods really. De-badged front, BP rear emblem, G-Spiders, spacers, aluminum pedals and Vaistech. Just very very clean. But so was the GT-R. Judges were probably late 20's. No retirees lol. Car stays outside, no cover and never in a garage. Detailed it for over 40 hours last week in a friends carport. Recent cell phone pics.
