Default Saw a Skyline R32

Saw a skyline tonite,
It was an R32, blue, with some kind of exhaust. I was chatting with the owner for a few minutes while waiting at a stop light, he said he had a boost controller along with some other goodies. He asked me what kinda mods i had and i just purge'd on him. He just smirked at the sound of the purge.

We took off pretty slow still chatting about his car, while we were talking, i could him his turbo's spooling up getting ready to take off. I thought i would get the jump by squeezing in 2nd buttt to my surprise (i wasnt really surprised) he just flew by me like i was standing still. I was, however, able to hang for about 3 secs.


Here's a real lousy pic i took with my cell phone, enjoy:

TO ALL THOSE WHO MENTIONED ABOUT R33
aren't those illegal because safty testing was never done so the only skylines you can get are the r32 and r34?!
I was seriously planning to get an r33 but when I say in law that you can have them in California, i got the Z...

You got it backwards. It's the R33 that Motorex crash tested, 95 GT-S if I remember correctly. So only the R33 can be legalized. Motorex just passed everything off as 95 R33, which is probably why they got shut down.
