Anyone who's been to the movies lately has probably seen this car — Brian O'Conner (played by Paul Walker), the hero of 2 Fast 2 Furious, tears up the streets of Miami in this Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec. Thanks to Craig Lieberman and two of his sponsors, JBL and Infinity, we've got an opportunity to look beyond the glare of the set lights, and get a feel for what's in this fine ride.

Carbon fiber front and rear under-body diffusers add some smooth lines to the Skyline.

Craig Lieberman has long been a fan of exotic cars. He's served as Marketing Director for Eibach Springs, Race Director for the National Import Racing Association, and is the current Youth Marketing Director for Meguiar's, the venerable car care products retailer. But he's probably best known for serving as Technical Advisor to The Fast and The Furious, and now again in the sequel to that blockbuster, 2 Fast 2 Furious. His stunning orange Supra was the true star of the first film, and his wife's Maxima played a supporting role. Both cars were sold this past winter, with the 2 Fast 2 Furious Skyline serving as the Supra's replacement.

The V-Spec edition of the Skyline incorporates carbon fiber front and rear under-body diffusers and a stiffer suspension onto a standard GTR-R Skyline. Skylines are known worldwide for their exotic power plant: in line 6 cylinder engine; twin turbo; all wheel drive; right hand drive; four wheel steering; 280 horsepower; Brembo racing brakes — all standard. The car is so good, it's banned in most racing series. This particular car used to be the infamous Blackbird, owned by none other than the top dog at MotoRex, a company that imports the Skyline into the US exclusively.

The Skyline comes from the factory stocked with 280 horsepower. Once Craig completes his projected upgrades, including adding HKS turbos and a sequential gearbox, the Skyline should crank out over 700 horsepower!
