The rest of the car had been built with an eye towards saving weight, so Craig pondered a solution to his problem of how to add killer sounds to a car without turning it into a tank. The sound system mods revolve around the Clarion VRX925VD in-dash DVD/CD/MP3 receiver with built-in 7" monitor, and two Clarion VMA7191 7" widescreen LCD monitors. One monitor pops out from in front of the passenger seat (on the left side of the car in this right-hand drive model); the other monitor is suspended above the amps in the trunk on a fiberglass arm. Video sources include the VRX925VD's built-in DVD player, a Clarion TTX7501z television tuner, a Clarion VCZ625 6-disc DVD changer, and a Sony Playstation 2.
The Clarion DVH920 digital sound processor decodes audio signals into 5.1 channels for true surround sound. Two JBL P80.4 4-channel amps feed the Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 component systems mounted in the front doors and rear deck with 40 watts RMS per channel. The rumble of the low end comes from the trunk, where twin JBL W12GTi 12" 6-ohm dual voice coil subs subs feast off two JBL BP1200.1 subwoofer amps. West Coast Customs crafted blue fiberglass mounts throughout the car. The result is a system that is (relatively) lightweight but extremely proficient at drowning out the sweet sounds of an RB26 through an HKS titanium muffler.
Upon completion of the audio system and after return from its role in 2 Fast 2 Furious, Craig's Skyline is off to HKS for an aggressive round of engine mods. The current spec list reflects the parts in Craig's garage today, all waiting to be installed on the car. Big HKS turbos, intercooler, suspension upgrades, and electronic upgrades will turn this modest street performer (if you can call 505hp modest) into a strip terror boasting more than 700hp. HKS' sequential gearbox will ensure blistering ET's (and broken axles).
The car was built to play a role in the sequel to The Fast and the Furious and companies like HKS, K&N, NOPI, GoldLine, Flexivity, and Valvoline all provided support to the project. Advan Wheels, Toyo Tires, Sparco, Clarion, AEBS all deserve mad props, according to the grateful owner. Craig estimates that reproducing the car would cost more than $150,000 but notes that this car too will be for sale after 2 Fast 2 Furious is over. In the interim, Craig plans to merchandise and tour with the car, selling everything from t-shirts to posters to help promote his new web site, www.MovieCarz.com. It is reported that he'll be using this site to help recruit cars for various motion picture, TV, or video projects on which he's working.
