FUUUUG!

I guess you had to watch and get a whole 6 or so #s to win.

Ive been sitting on my ass all week! I coulda had a skyline!

Some 18yr old girl mallrat won it.

This world is unjust...

:hammer:

wtf they were giving away a Skyline

and some 18yr old girl mallrat won it

R K e 1 C A · 12-05-2003, 04:53 PM

Details?

Anubis · 12-05-2003, 05:16 PM

The world truly is a cruel place

xNotoriousGQx · 12-05-2003, 05:17 PM

yeah some tennie bopper won it from rhode island. the skyline looks riced out anyway. if I won that, I would sell it fast and buy me another s14

vodka · 12-05-2003, 05:55 PM

I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard, what I'd do is dericify it and have them ship it directly to motorex, or another good RB tuner around here.

*ca18guy* · 12-05-2003, 06:02 PM

In the small print it says the winner pays for legalization, so in the long run that girl isn't gonna get it anyway.

-E- · 12-05-2003, 06:13 PM

found some pics

s13andy · 12-05-2003, 06:24 PM

HOLY CRAP! thats a huge frikking turbo

91blk240 · 12-05-2003, 06:38 PM

It was given away as a promotion for NFSU and you had to watch every episode this week to find the hidden license plates in the videos to win. I didn't know about it until Wed when I saw it on the NFSU website.

G_Fish240 · 12-05-2003, 07:04 PM

riced out or not, id take it ( and take the vinyls off and other crap) i found out to late as well, oh man, a lot of people would take teh cash but still, how mayn r34 GTR owners in the states i know for sure there is less then really fast 240 owners, thats why i would take the gtr

Warwick5s · 12-05-2003, 08:01 PM

man, i bet as soon as that girl was off camera they told her 'oh yeah, just so you know, this car isn't legal to be registered how it is right now. you have to pay about 10g's for that. enjoy!'

i'd sell it on ebay.

s14falcon · 12-05-2003, 08:28 PM

Thats where they get her, the legaization fees. Unlgalized skylines are pretty cheap, and that kit and rims are ugly. But then again, thats a pretty big single turbo, I bet its puttin out some decent numbers. Oh well, she probably won't legalize it, which means she wont use it. Ten bucks says that it'll be on ebay within a month.

NZO · 12-05-2003, 08:33 PM

The car doesnt have that turbo, it was converted back to stock twins.

HiPSI · 12-06-2003, 08:31 AM

anyone in RI, keep a lookout in the local junkyards. you may have yourself an RB26 pretty cheaply soon

riced out? FUCK YOU! I hate people like this who call ANY exterior mods rice... that car looks fucking GOOD, and judging from those pics, its got the performance to back it up. YOU, PERSONALLY, are the reason that rice is so overused. fuck you.

HiPSI · 12-06-2003, 10:39 AM

shit man, look at it. it's got friggin FWD offset wheels on it

sure it's a skyline, but it's done in bad taste in the looks department.

Rennen · 12-06-2003, 10:55 AM

If I won it, which I wouldn't(cause I cant stand MTV for more than 2 seconds) I wouldn't take it. If you read the fine print on the contest rules, the car is not legalized, and the cash value of the prize was $75,000!!!! I could do alot better with the 75k

-Matt

whateverjames · 12-07-2003, 08:34 PM

$75k or that Skyline?

I'll take the cash and get an R33 from Motorex and mod it with the rest of the money.

ZOLTAN · 12-07-2003, 09:10 PM

Rice?
If the first thing you thought to yourself when you saw the front fascia wasn't "rice", I feel for you.

And those side skirts suck too.

Uhh, how about a house? LOL

How much would insurance on that cost, anyway?

NZO · 12-07-2003, 10:32 PM

People confuse rice with ugly, not like theres a huge difference...

Oh yeah. One of those house things would be nice too

One big fat down payment.

ZOLTAN · 12-07-2003, 11:09 PM

What is there to be confused about? It's a ridiculous looking, over the top bumper. It's rice.
It's the type of stuff that tasteless highschool kids like.
Can you not see that it doesn't flow with the rest of the vehicle?
It does not compliment the cars shape in any way.

No Motiv · 12-08-2003, 02:12 PM

Its not that bad...Its free for her....I'd take it.....and sell it to one of those high school kids (RICH ASS)

for a ass load.... then be living the good life. Id drive it once first just for the feel, and go somewhere and get some attention then get rid of that thing

ONYX S-13 · 12-08-2003, 02:28 PM

That car is hideous..If I won that thing I'll take all the exterior shit off of it and make it look stock again, then i'll take all that unecessary electronic crap outta there and sell it, with that money I'll get a new paint job and then make the car a track car, i'll just keep it in my garage until i took it to the track

720_datsun · 12-08-2003, 02:48 PM

convert outside back to stock, primer it, rip out the electronic bull shit, sell that and put a bigger turbo in it, stock wheels, then here comes the touge monster skyline. but theres no way in hell i could afford insurence. id drive it without insurence.

oatcakes · 12-17-2003, 01:05 PM

Eek!

The swapped a perfectly designed R34 seats for POS Sparcos?

Wasn't that Craig Lieberman's old car? 'Cause that'll explain the ricey-ness.

Tuck&Poke · 12-21-2003, 05:12 PM

it was built by GetSponsored or some shit like that, theyre down w/ 2F2F and all that, one of their memebers is or was in a car club down here called all stars, he lives in cali now. heres his s14.5
