It's an '86.... Toyota corolla or something. It's just a little hatchback.

they love them.. but they are definitley not cheap..

ur looking atleast about 15k for a 1985 model... and 17k for a done up 1986 model..

because of their cult car status in japan.. they are very expensive to buy and import

sorri thought they were cheap ...

Ahhh thnx... just finished the dl and it has a list of what all the cars are and it also has "Papa = older men sometimes pay young girls to be with them. The girl usually refers to the man as "Papa"" :blah:

86's may have been cheap when they were new, a long time ago, but now they have acquired almost cult status and price tags to match. Perhaps the original drfiters car of choice. They're pretty powerful, easily modded and make excellent drift machines.

It's getting very hard to find good example now though, most have led a hard life, but there is a few good ones out there I'm sure...

re thread topic...

there is an ad out at the moment in the cinemas by TAC (called TAC mockingbirds). i wasn't listening to it, bt it has a yellow R33 in it a numbr of times and at the end the rear end of the 33 is very porminant

we are showing it at the start of tomb raider as i expect most cinemas will have to do as well

[Bleach1]

maybe we can try to arrange Mel gibson to drive a skyline in the new Mad Max movie!!!!!!!!

[bluesky]

There is a movie Jackie Chan made recently in Hong Kong which features a black R33, don't know the movie's name or if the skyline was a GTS-T or GT-R

Anyone seen this movie?

If thats the one where Jackie Chan chases the r33 with the silver fto at the start then I think your referring to Thunderbolt. Quite sure it was a gtr as it had the gtr spoiler. Cheers

They are only so exxy becuase they are a cult car, you can buy regualr sprinters over here for like 4-6k but they arnt anything special without the 4agze and good suspension

[dAVE]

there is a 33 in bad eggs too.. also there was a silver r33 with blue racing stripes in stingers once.
