I work at A.P.E. , and we just moved to a new building from Burbank, to Rosamond, CA. It is right next to Willow Springs Raceway! There was a track day at the Streets of Willow and i went up for my lunch break and there it was! A black right hand drive skyline with its hood open. There were tons of cars there, from sti's Evo9 Mr's, mr2 t. and many more, but i went straight for the skyline. It was the GT-R twin turbo edition. The owner was really cool, he's a Japanese guy that lives in arcadia, but was up at the track for a few laps. We talked for a while and he told me it took him almost two years to get that thing street legal. They had to change a lot of things to make it dot legal. But right after he did, he got a HKS turbo kit, cams... the works! IM SOO PISSED I DIDNT HAVE MY CAMERA!!!! man... sorry guys but your just gonna have to imagine a Black 98 skyline with the stock wing, clean body kit, gold brembos and a set of gun metal volks... awsome!

Yeah you'll see a lot of skylines around here too. RBMotoring is about 15 minutes away from my house and they import skylines here. It's still sweet to see one though cuase they are hot .

there's a few here too.. but a lot were being resold i guess to either make profit, or that the owners finally understand that ordering replacement parts (more often especially being a 17 yr old car) is almost impossible unless they're shipped from overseas.

Theres 3 or 4 around this area. 2 black R32s, 1 blue R34 but that one hasnt been seen since the kid got arrested for selling drugs. Then there was a white R33 I believe.

I LOVE R33's! those are like almost non-existent in the US though, Skylines in the US are mostly R32's and some R34's. I saw an R32 at Bimmerfest East in '04...

Targa top, six speed, leather, single turbo Supra! That's what I wanted since... well since they were still making them.
