Well I hope its not Richs car. BTW he's much older than 22, but anyway I know it was getting that work done there then it suddenly dissappeared. Havent seen him in a few but I know he now owns the new Skyline/R34 or w/e its called. Saw him at a show in NY w/ it but it started raining had so I never got to talk to him, then it was at the Frank Marrata show but he wasn't there when I was...I havent seen that car since I saw it @ SWIFT over a year ago but man, I hope you're wrong.

they showed a white car then one that was in blue the accident that the blue one was involved in was pretty bad according to the newspaper write up I mean to rip a car in to pieces is pretty bad. Not to sound like an ole fogy her but a kid took the car out, even after his father kept telling him not to.....either way it sucks

Well I am afraid I believe his name was rich. Custom fuel cell with a quick fill tank, nitrous, custom twin turbo. Guy was running 110 octane at the time of the fire. We needed over 100 something gallons of water and 35 gallons of foam cause the fuel cell kept leaking. Most of the pictures on the internet got taken down from swift about a week after the fire. Happened Saturday 4/18.

I still dont know what happened... I need to wait till the investigation is done. All these images can be found online. I have about thirty more but cant show them just yet.

Oh and frank the first post you have is the car. But that was a long time ago cause since then it has changed. Unless they both have the same exact oil cooler, and carbon fiber etc. He did change the fuel cell and the quick fuel tho.

And I dont know how many R34 skylines have custom 12 piston chrome rotora calipers.

Well I tried to get more information but it looks like everything is locked down. No one is giving out anymore information. So I have no idea how the fire started. Kinda sucks.
