It's a car made by one of the Jap tuning houses - Tommy Kiera. Called the ZZ2 there are only a few of them in existance. There are 4WD and use a 500hp (est) Skyline GTR engine and weigh in under 1T. Basically they were built to beat porshes, ferrari's etc.

Unfortunately I dont have any more pics.

Thanks for the info. I might do a search on the internet and see what I can find. The car has a bit of a lotus look to it.

dunno if this is rice, but where i live we have an infestation of "modded" commodores. typically vr-vx all with white paint, 5 spoke rims, lowered springsand recently the clear lense lights.....now as far as i'm conserned a modded car should be DIFFERENT to everyone elses...that's why we do it! as for bodykits or altezza lights being rice...i think they are fine- in moderation! i've seen some awesome looking jap cars and even -god forbid- some nice commodres and all had one thing in common......they were unique examples of that type of car.to me the worst thing is doing something to a car just because your mates do it :

he is kind of regretting the white interior now as its a daily driver and its a ИИИИИ to keep in good nick

Its a fun car to cruise around in

i agree, were i'm from it seems to be VL/VK and VN/VT all look the same and skylines.

all the same, lowered, 5 spoke mags, all 'pimped' out with subwoofers and beating up and down the main street listening to eminm, snoppy doggy doo doo and 45cent, oh i forgot the GST 5cent. wanting to drag you off ever set of lights. they are :

if you don't own a VL/VK, VN/VT or a skyline... your next door neighbour ownes all 3.

the only difference is colour and driver.

thats why i drive a Laser, and it gives me more joy flogging them when they want to take me on, and there mates in the car with them are bursting out laughing : cause i humilate them. :king:

Come on guys, lightn up, just messing with ya.

The one's i like are the little 4 crappers that have the stickers on them - like MSD, Pioneer, NOS etc

The other thing I hate is when people put NOS bottles in for show - if ya gonna stick one it, connect it and use it. The rush will put you in your back seat and hang on.

Worst ive seen was 2 years ago, on Bell St, Coburg, Melbourne... some sri lankan bloke amongst other ridiculous mods on board, had nailed timber to the side of his Toyota corona for a body kit, and hadn't painted it. I nearly drove the work truck off the road. Hilarious.
