*sigh* that wide body rob is the Nismo LM roadcar, only like 50 made for Group A amalgamation I think.

the ones running around are from Skyline Imports, they don't charge an arm and a leg for their kits, they're all copies off the Kakimoto widebodykit, which they fit to some of the cars which they comply by request.

here's the J-spec R33, which sports the original kakimoto kit , being put to good use.

notice the original kakimoto wang hidden in the smoke which is uber rare and expensive, and I don't think Skyline imports puts it on their copies.

The white widebody GTR getting around that people are refering to is completly different to the Nismo LM one pictured and nothing like the Kakimoto copies that Skyline Imports do. Although I parked my GTST beside the white one Ernie had at his shop for a while and it was huge! Made my GTST look like a little toy. Never got to see in person the red or yellow ones featured in HPI. The Skyline Import one that Ernie show me were very well put together, the pearl/white widebody GTR getting around looks a bit dodgy to me in comparison.

here are some cleaner photos but this is on the only wide body gtr i have seen...dont have any info about how many were made or were there copys made :D

That looks fu*king amazing!

Imagine the sheer shock factor driving that around

I like it :aroused:

And u know with that much body work, and made by nismo, that the engine aint no standard engine :)

yeah some crazy mod does lookalike kits (seeing as the original is off limits). the R32 one I've got the brochure for, its made to look like the R32 GR A widebody, almost got it, but then I saw the BN widebody n fell in luv

i have seen this car on smith st......looks crazy and the bodykit is really over the top. Oh and the GTR badge wasnt straight heh

i've seen this one here on the coast a few times in southport, parked outside the BMW yard, white with a pearl, looks like more of a fiberclass kit this one

here are some cleaner photos but this is on the only wide body gtr i have seen...dont have any info about how many were made or were there copys made :)

those look like they were modeled on the KURE race r33 gtr, the only kit i'd want for a r33, i might have to do some serching the net...

this is my widebody kit i dont know if you have seen me driven but i cruise around marsdan ive been to milton macs a couple of times but havent been out to much cause i didnt have my licence but i got it back now so if any one wants to go for a cruise or just compare cars just tell me where and ill be there.....hope you like.

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
