NFS Payback Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec R34 Eastsiders: Eddie

Eddie appears as the main antagonist of Need for Speed: Underground and the most prominent racer in Olympic City. He occasionally mocks the player’s driving skills throughout the career mode.

Eddie is first shown with his crew and Melissa in a cutscene following the player’s prologue event in Underground Mode. In event 78 “Friends Are Easy To Make, And Easier To Lose”, Eddie forces the player to race against Samantha before accepting their challenge. He makes his last appearance in event 111 “Wrath of Eddie”.

Eddie reappears in Need for Speed (2015) with a series of challenges for the player. Although he initially underestimates the player’s driving skills due to being part of Travis’ crew, whom he was involved with in the past, he will start to respect their abilities and eventually race against them in his final challenge.

In both of his game appearances, Eddie drives a dark gold Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) with an Eastsiders paint job. In Need for Speed: Underground, his car will be unlocked for Quick Race after having 3,000,000 style points. In Need for Speed (2015), his car will be rewarded to the player after beating his final challenge.

Todd is voiced by Rasmus Borowski.
The Eastsiders logo can be seen on cars in Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City.
The paint job of Eddie's Nissan Skyline GT-R in Underground was often recreated in other Need for Speed titles:
    Need for Speed: World - Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) "Underground"
    Need for Speed: The Run (Heroes and Villains) - Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 "Underground Signature Edition"
    Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) (Need for Speed Heroes Pack) - Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec II 
The Legends update for Need for Speed (2015) adds a Eastsiders wrap for the Toyota Supra SZ-R that takes styling cues from Chad's Toyota Celica in Underground.
