Yes I have seen quite a few photos of it, one of my favourite Z's. Seen Wangan Midnight? pretty awesome story line with Devil Z and Blackbird.
Ofcourse lol, saw it a couple of years ago. I guess it contributed to my appreciation of 240z's and older 911s.

I didn't like the anime that much. Felt a bit lame/boring watching cars go very fast on highways and a story to link it all together. Initial D was far more interesting.

That being said I liked playing WMMT.

I really liked Initial D, i only watched Wangan Midnight after i finished it and wanted more and it was the closest thing haha. Seen Stage 5 at all? I watched the first episode and it just seemed like a filler which dissapointed me considering how long it's been since the last episode was released, i think ill just wait until theres a lot of new episodes before seeing another.

I do like Initial D although I haven't watched stage 5 yet. Also, I can't say I have played WMMT myself which kinda sucks.

The only time i played WMMT some guy just suddenly sat next to me and popped in a card and suddenly i see on the screen some highly modified hatch back which supposedly had like 600 horsepower and i had to try and race him =S.

Fast and furious spec, gayy as
Yeah was so over the top, and i had no luck driving some stock car - think it was an Evo V. Which, relevant to this thread, was my (practical) dream car for much of year 11 and 12.

I can respect evo's, especially VIII's and IX's but i'm more of a GTR guy myself.

Something about the looks of the 5 just appealed to me. I do like GTR's though... Prefer Jza80 Supras over regular Skylines though.

Not a fan of regular skylines myself, most of them are modified horribly and try to replicate GTR's. Don't mind supras though, the older ones are quite nice as well.

Yeah, i think the Supras look better and the 2jz is a better engine than even the rb26. It's mostly the all wheel drive that makes the GTR's shine over the supras and very few regular Skylines have that.

2jz no shit :L 2jz in an r34 GTR would be the best combo, some people have done it but so much hate from gtr/supra fanboys.

Lol i'd imagine! I wouldn't even bother though since it's pretty much a sidegrade, if you wanted the extra displacement may as well just use a RB30 block and keep it in the family. The RB30DETT's (RB30 block, 26 head hybrid) seem awesome from what i have seen online, but i dont understand much about this stuff so could all be hype.

RB30 is a pain to convert, there are a fair few problems with clearance issues, mainly with the bonnet. The most common way is to just stroke the rb26 to 2.8L, very costly as expected though...

This is a machine, apparently he has spend 150k all up.

I have seen that, i wouldn't be able to justify that 150k though... Knowing how much was spent makes that video not as exciting. That's enough for an R35! Enough for a Ferrari 360 (imo the best looking stock car, well has to have challenge rear grills) and a bit left over for maintenance.
