Did anyone go to the Brisbane Auto-salon this year.

There was a white with pink pearl 33 GTR with a 34 GTR front and rear end

You had to look twice and realise the door and roof lines were not a 34 GTR, along with interior etc.

my camera went flat before a could get a photo.

If someone could post a couple of shots, it is worth a look.

These sort of conversions are huge in the states. Just look at ebay in the states and see all the skyline style body kits for every car there is.

^^^A rice travesty of biblical proportions... somebody stop them.

Yeah Jameszilla posted this up a few months ago..

I think it looks absolutely tops! Plus it ain't just the outside, he's also given the engine a good work over too. A decent amount of power too for a car that size, should be goer!

cheers.

I've never seen Nissan Primera here, is that aust delivered? or is that car in jpn?

Yeah, it`s UK.

Top work, but....

Just to confirm: It is a UK car. The conversion is very well done by all accounts. OK, a lot of people aren't too keen about making a car up to look like something it's not, but at the end of the day the owner of the "Skymera" can claim to be driving a totally unique vehicle!:rofl:

I also think people need to remember that a lot of the reason behind American's often making non-skylines look like skylines is because they simply can't get them over there - not without going through Motorex (or whatever) and paying big $$$$

Each to their own!

Fair enough, but cry me a river!:(

The yanks are always going on about how rich they are, you`d think if they REALLY wanted genuine GT-R`s, they`d damn well get their wallets out...

Australia, New Zealand, UK(?): Shit loads of Skylines.

U.$./Canada: Shafted.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
