Went to a breakers yard today with my old man. They had an ad in the local paper saying they had a Skyline in. When we finally found the place and got past the 50 or so 10 year olds working there we saw the cars. They had 2. Oh dear.... 1 was a V-Spec R33. And i mean was! The complete drivers side of the car front to back was missing! The rest was covered in burns! The other was white. Well it was in places. Had no boot and rear bumper was missing. Still he got some genuine GTR wheels, a rear strut brace and GTR spoiler for his so it wasn't all bad. There was also a VTR in a corner of the building. Nice cube shaped saxo!

Too right. They must have been pulling some serious speed to do the damage. Scariest thing was the tiny little airbag that had fired. Looked absolutely useless. That and the fact the engine had been shunted back into the footwells.
