this was the best 14 posts ever. thanks for the yuks.  

1. It is a Skyline. Look at the interior. Unless of course you're going to tell me they "franksteined" (whatever that means) that too.

2. That is a Supra motor.  

Jesus look they prob took the engine out of the supra in the first movie to lower cost. that engine prob had loads of power anyway  

cool article.  

good point.  

does anyone know the make of the in dash gauge pod of the 2 fast 2 furious skyline?  

If you own a skyline you wouldn't need it... Everything you'd need is on the display unit on the dash. If you don't have a skyline just do the oldschool thing and use your ears to find out what's going on with the engine. All them fancy gadgets are just distracting you from paying attention to the track.

And that is not a skyline on the engine pic. The fender is orange and on the others; the car is clearly silver so, there mistery solved. (Why would anybody watch The Fast & The Furious anywhays?... The American Le Mans Series is two channels over anyways. )  

I thought the fast and the furious was okay. However shake is right, what happend to learning about your car and just fixing the problem yourself if possible? Besides I think that if they really wanted to capture drifting why not use the cars that started it all and show them how they really looked. You don't need to spend fifty grand make a great drifter, you just need to bulid a simple and effective car.
