hey guys whats going on? I figured i would post this here since i would probably get the most responces here. Today i was with a friend at the dunkin donuts on tamiami trail by the starbucks and hospital and was stuck in traffic when a kind of goldish/grey/brown skyline went cruising by. He had a front mount intercooler and and exhaust from what was seen obviously pushing out some serious HP...he was stopped for a second and the exhaust had that "smoke" comming out of it right before it came to a stop (usually really high HP turbo charged cars get this)

Anyways, question is..does anyone know of this guy or have seen him and the car around?

That's club member Rich Van Dillen/Richsrq's car. He brought it out to showcase it at the 2006 Zfest here in Orlando. His other car is a black Greddy TT G35 with built motor

Rich is located in Sarasota. He was nice enough to bring his TT G35 for a newspaper photo session. I was hoping we could get his Skyline in the paper, but it was getting a few things done to it at the time.

I think Rich has put 5k miles on the Skyline this month. Everytime I call him he's taking a ride.

We did a couple 4th gear runs the other day (3rd gear for him) on I75.....I stayed with him for about .5 seconds then that monster turbo spooled and handed me my a$$.......not for long though, I'm removing the Stillen and going Twins.

Sean, I live here in Sarasota. The car had been down since November 1st for upgrades and I just got it back pn the road 3 weeks ago and Mike is right, I have been making up any excuse to go to the store for anything and everything.

Thanks Jeremy, but not as cool as you though . I wanted to come up there and see you sometime to find out if I broke a motor mount on the G or not. I can't tell and maybe if it were on the dyno you might be able to tell better than I have by getting under it. I'd like to see your shop as well.
