Well, Nope I've never seen one in NYC. I "heard" theres only a white one, but not sure. Cuz like I said I've never seen one myself in New York City.

Hong Kong also yes, I seen them running all over the place. ITs not that Hard to find it really.

I saw my first Skyline(s) ever when I saw two white R32s parked at this little house in Alexandria, Virginia. They're actualy near where my mother-in-law used to live. They were pretty cool and I asked her if I could open the door and just tuck and roll.

Too bad Motorex is out of the picture. What were they doing that was illegal in the first place?

Apparently not crash testing the R34s. They didn't wanna fork over the 750k again so they just passed them off as R33s. That is my understanding but I am sure there is something else to the story.

the only one I have ever seen was outside my apartment one day, not sure what one though, looked only a few years old and had red letters that said something like gt-r on the back, it looks really nice, big FM intercooler, I just stood there shocked for a few minutes checking it out
