If that's a GT-R, then they pulled the fuse on the front tires so the car wouldn't send any torque to the front wheels (at least for that burnout shot ...). Nice R32, though. I don't care much for the graphics, but the power and the performance make up for it
And they are not bored out to 2.8L to the man that said it is a common mod. The cars are typically stroked. Cool Cat Racing here in Macon, GA is using Tomei's 2.8L stroker kit on one of their R33 GTRs (they have two. The other one is the famous Big Bird).
