There are companies out there that do nothing but make replica's of cars. Given in most cases it's purely because the originals are so rare and cost so much.

I see nothing wrong with making a replica, but as others have said if the cost is going to be that high, you may want to hold out a bit and just buy the real deal.

your paying your driving your car do what ever you want as long as your happy with it.

if i was you id buy something close to standard whatever it is drive that around save money until you can afford the real deal, thats just me

Like this one?? ? :mrt:

I agree with the statement its your money, do whatever you want with it. But the fact that you've asked the opinion of others shows you care about what others think. And to make things easier, most people will not like the "imitated" look. 34GTTs are like S15s to me, they will look awesome with proper kits and they still look like themselves.

LOL Just found this... Check the GT-R badge out.

In all seriousness though, save and get the real deal. Even if you can't afford a R34 GT-R yet buy a 33 or 32 GT-R. If not GTS or GTT and wait until you can.

Building a replica IMO is like buying a pair of nikes from Bali. They sort of look the goods but don't feel right...

Ok then.. ill scrap that

what about putting a R35 front on a M35 stagea like that one made in japan?

how much would that cost?

so i could probably have the first R35 GTR Wagon is Aus ... well sort of :)

Kid's Heart used a real R35 front and custom designed the rest of the bodykit (adding the R35 muffler to the stock exhaust) themselves.

I have enquired about a "kit" for my M35, but they are adamant that it is a one off and for show only :P

Would cost a shit load anyway (m35 + R35 front cut in good nick + custom body kit etc).

Would probably be cheaper to get an R34 GTR imported.

Who are you building this so far fictional car for?

Why ask for opinions on cosmetics from the peanut gallery.........you'll be the one driving and paying for it.

Build it to your own taste, then it will be your car. As long as you like it who cares what the "vogue" crowd think.

that is the beauty of modified/built cars. They are styled to their owners tastes.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
