The EA Games NFSU Skyline GT-R (driven by "Eddie") was an actual, real-life car - and a lucky winner took the car home for real!
Me and my partner, Neil Tjin, had the pleasure of creating this real-life car for use in promotions of the video game.

I actually got this game for free before it came out because at the time my mom was dating a guy who worked at EA Vancouver. I also vaguely remember seeing the R34 in Vancouver because I lived there at the time. I was about 8 years old and I thought it was the coolest thing I ever saw.

Im confused on how the car was given away if it had a 1 year temporary title. It would've needed to be exported out of the country. I feel like that is more intriguing then the build. Because if it was not a motorex car it would of never been legal and might of caused more legal issues to EA games then the big turbo.

I heard that the car was shipped back over due to the temporary import license not shortly after they won the car but I still am shocked that they even sold a Street Illegal car in the first place and I love how they were worried about the single turbo but not worried about the nos system in the back, yes a single turbo is more powerful than a twin but at the same time even the stock twins are pretty devastating with all those modifications done to it.....

I was #2 in line, but the first person got the answer correct. And that was it. Its good to finally know what actually happened. I was 18 at the time and my parents were on board to pay the taxes on the car so I could keep it.

This video is a real treat Craig! Growing up playing NFSU (and the sequel) and enamored by the tuner scene, just brings back so many good memories of the early 2000's. I still remember reading gaming magazine articles about NFSU and seeing this car. While never a huge GT-R fan at the time, but aware of their revered presence in racing games, I did gain huge respect and admiration for their vast capabilities and top status within the JDM/Tuner world (meaning it was easily the best car in those games 😏). Craziest part is to see it's fate just given away; giving away a legend like that. I have to assume they didn't realize how big of a deal this car was, but whatever. Anyway, thanks for the nostalgia trip Craig!

Back when marketing companies actually gave a damn about the consumer. You felt like you were apart of something great. The characters of games and movies were on every chip bag, every soda can, every window at almost every business, countless promoting events you could go to, you’d see cars and trucks wrapped with the movie and video game characters, nowadays you’d be lucky to get a 30 second commercial that’s half decent. The last couple games i never would have known were even being released if it wasn’t for KZbinrs talking about it or stumbling Across an ad while watching KZbin. Man what I would give to go back.

That's literally my favorite movie and game. The best sound, visuals, car design, everything. I feel so sad that NFS doesn't do games in Underground style anymore. And that Fast and Furious turn into an alien invasion-superhero-gun shooting-physics laws where? kind of a movie. We are left only with nostalgia and I thank you for that, Craig Lieberman. You do such a good job of telling us a story and making us feel younger again!

@@craiglieberman shure but you could just buy a set of GTT or basic trim fenders to mold the kit onto if you don't wanna ruin your gtr fenders. Or entirely use a GTT as base car. But on the other hand, tuners are also modifying R35 GTRs and even much more expensive cars with RB and LBWorks Kits what also destroys the stock fender.
