Lol, I was just reading this article on the R34 silver skyline that was in the movie and they had a few pics of the car. I look at the picture of the engine bay and it shows a fully built 2JZGTE motor out of a Supra.Now what was the problem there?
Here's a link, this made me laugh!

thats f'd up that means they proably didnt even use a real skylineline body on it  

congratulations you just managed to basically miss the whole point. and of course it's a real skyline body, what the *** other body looks exactly like an R34 skyline. what they use for the motor doesnt tell you anything about what the body is if it's swapped. you're a dumbass  

they probably swapped in the supra motor because they were retards and didn't just do what they did in f&fTd to the evo where the made a custom diff that omitted power to the front wheels.  

you guys are the idiots that is a RB26DETT

retards  

look at the pictures bra. there is a toyota emblem forged onto the cover not to mention the words supra turbo.  

hmm true i didnt click on enlargen photo before yeah it is a supra engine haha

well to be honest it could be a number of reasons why they did that

first off its a japenese car they run diffrent in america so they could have swaped it for something more reliable for the movie

they use alot of supras in that movie so they probably had it available to use

it even could be that the rb blew and they swaped it with that for a quick fix and left it in?

idk

weird  

"hmm true i didnt click on enlargen photo before yeah it is a supra engine haha"

yeah, sure, that's why you were so positive that it was an RB26. If we said it was a 2JZ, logic tells me that you would've been curious, and clicked on the photo. don't try to save face by lying.  

You wanna know something your stupid 1st of all it is a supra engine 2nd of all the car aint the same car STUPIDS omg look at the color of the engine bay its red then see that lil bit of orange thats the fender/Quater panel/front guard get my drift it aint a skyline its a pic of the supra thats why it has a supra motor in it omg

Uhm yeah that was really gay. Like omg!  

Keep in mind that the first FnF movies were done on a rather small budget (for cars, that is) so they probably didn't have the cash or influence in Japan to get good examples of a R34 GTR.  Movies often use up dozens of cars to represent the same car in the movie, so getting 12 R34 GTRs can be tough here in the states.  They probably found an R34 body with a trashed engine and swapped in a 2JZ.  I'm not sure, I didn't work on the movie

In FnF3, the RB26-powered Mustang actually wasn't.  They took a mustang and slid an RB26 into the engine bay, but it wasnt connected to anything.  It never ran.  It was for show.  The one(s) used for the drifting and racing scenes were actually powered by NEW Ford smallblocks  

The mustang in F&F3 was real it cost them around $150000.00 and 10 months to make that one work and they used it. Get the movie and check it out with the director commentary option. It is in the special features section of the movie. On all car related action movies I use this option to see how many driving stunts were real or fake. F&F3 was one of the good movies that used stunt drivers and opted out of excessive CG use for safety reasons. Yea the drivers were that good. Im older and slower now however about 20 years ago I did a lot of what you see in the movies on Houston streets. Too bad I never got paid for it.

No coz the pic aint of a skyline look at the color of the engine bay and the fender the engine bays red and the fender is orange. its a pic of the orange supra  

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE FAST & THE FURIOUS?!!!!!  

@EVOKNEVO
I knowe the cars and stunts were real.  What I was saying, i fyou bothered to read it, was that the Mustang used in the stunts wasnt powered by an RB26: it was powered by a Ford smallblock.  They said so right in the DVDs special features.  They said that the Mustang with the RB26 didn't run and wasnt functional.

@wildvrclubby
Has anyone ever considered that SCC made a mistake and that it actually is the supra, and not the skyline picture?  I was just saying that often, when a producer cant find a fully-intact example of a car, they frankenstein themselves one.  In this case, however, the case seems to be an SCC mistake.
