Lmao, I understand how you feel, I was speechless when I first saw it, I had to smack myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. He doesn't bring the car out very often, so far I've only seen it 2 times in person. Yea its right hand drive and he got all the registration and paper work done, its 100% street legal, it have 600+ HP under the hood...

Thanks Cody, the windows are made out of lexan. Ask him to drive the cop car? Nah, GT-R are more fun.

He may have a passing cam set up on the left side of the bumper for left turns/passing people.

It's not that hard to get a Skyline street legal, just a few modifications to make it more E-Friendly and you have it done. However, it's different in Canada, we can have Skylines no problem

Looks good there Dr.K. Other than re-doing that glass on that Monté Cop Car any other kind of work being done on it by chance?

That's about as long as a asian man, women, child can drive a vehicle over in China/Japan/Taiwan etc. then they have to buy a new vehicle haha

Though, I doubt the 15 year wouldn't matter. All you would need to do is be sure that the frame is clear of rot/cancer and the body is still in prime condition.

Anyhow, sorry for that off-topic item haha.

I love your attention to detail, getting a minuscule side marker Frenched into the wide body is slick work.

On the stock windows, inside the roof, Kyosho put glue there to hold the windows in place.

Update: R32 painted pearl black to match the 1:1.
