My FH6 Log: Hard-To-Get Cars: The R33 Skyline GT-R

The Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33) is a rare prize car that you can win and drive in Forza Horizon 6. Some players believe it is a rotating playlist prize car that will reappear in a future seasonal update. If you missed the opportunity to get one, just be patient; it should return soon.


Launched in 1995, Nissan transformed the R32 into the R33 Skyline GT-R, adopting the slogan "Minus 21 second roman" because of the Nurburgring lap time of 7:59:000, 21 seconds faster than the R32's lap time of 8:20:000. With the same RB26DETT engine, the R33 got an improved ATTESSA E-TS that was called ATTESA E-TS Pro All Wheel Drive system, which contains LSD. The R33 GT-R was designed by Kozo Watanabe.


With the quick briefing done, it's time for the R33 Skyline GT-R to test its might. Roll the tape.


Remember: The Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33) is a rare prize car that you can win and drive in Forza Horizon 6.

Scary Movie (2026 movie)

SURPRISE! Scary Movie is back, and this time every line will be crossed in the Wayans Bros' latest terrifying laugh fest, where today's pop culture gets spoofed in a horrifying and comedic way.

Your favorite victims from the original Scary Movie, including Cindy (played by comedienne Anna Faris), are back in this fearsome but ticklish installment of the Wayans Bros' Scary Movie universe, where today's generation of horror movies as well as other pop culture get spoofed.

This new Scary Movie is packed with references to popular titles like Scream, Smile, Wednesday, M3GAN, Michael, Substance, Weapons, Stranger Things, Sinners, and others. It’s got more names than the controversial Jeffrey Epstein files, and the gang might not even know who that is. You know what I mean, right? 

This new installment feels like all of today’s horror movie villains have gathered together in the bus, and you just got hit by one. ISEKAI! Oh, wait—there’s no isekai element here. But you get the point. Red Light Green Light perhaps? Anyone? Oh, well. This installment sure knows how to roast current trending topics as if they're riffing on them a la MST3K.

An all-out fear fest with Robot Chicken levels of extreme toilet humor, the newest Scary Movie is the only comedy movie you'll ever watch in the summer. It's every Pennywise well spent. Wait, what?

You are IT, IT-heads. Let's go Red Light Green Light to the cinemas for the latest Scary Movie.
