quick bit of trivia.... whoever got a kakimoto kit that orignated from Skyline imports actually has a different kit to the original... if you don't believe me park the j-spec kakimoto next to the Skyline Imports ones.

reason being... the kakimoto bodykit involves modifying the front and rear guard rails to fit the bars in (obviously) but what skyline imports din realise is that kakimoto also mofied the Castor of the wheels when the fitted the kit on. So basically they've gotten a kakimoto kit, tried to fit it onto a R33, and found the wheels scraped... so after a bit of "wtf" they modified the kit (5 times from memory with different moulds being made) to SHIFT the wheelarch into what they believed was the correct position.

All in all I think they made 5 or 6 of those kits, and tried to flog the GTSts for 55k and the GTRs for 85k back then. No one bought em so they dropped their prices to 30k or something for the GTSt's, dunno bout the GTRs.

So to be technically correct there's a kakimoto kit.. and there's a Skylines Imports kakimoto style kit :D

Just kidding, it wasnt to bad. i drove slowly past it the other day. the purple pearl looks pretty cool but it still looks like the japs put it together...

massive rims, cooler etc.... oh and no holes in the rear quarter guard, just pumped and pumped.... pretty nice

Mines - Does your friend live in Forest Lake. If so I have driven that car, the wide body white GTR R33. I also took him for a spin in mine. It was back when he was deciding what turbo upgrade to go for.

I was supposed to organise some cruises with him but lost his number. If you got it can you PM it to me.

      I also think it comes down to the dollars spent for quality items, there's some cheapie versions out there, which look fine, but, there are versions of much higher quality out there, but, you obviously pay more for the quality of materials used and quality control When I first got work done by Advan Performance on my old R33 the silicone joiners were cheapies and actually blew out on a joiner heading to the plenum, when I then took it to Unigroup they said that the silicone hoses they used and were junk, Unigroup replaced every hose on the engine with much higher quality items and from then I never had a issue with any hose Additional cost and quality gets you quality silicone base materials and quality reinforcement fabric stuff As for OEM rubber hoses, again, quality materials and strict quality control will give you quality hoses, but only to OEM spec, I believe using quality silicone replacements is a upgrade I  saying this I have only dealt with vehicles I own and play with

      Not gonna lie my sense of smell isn't the best. But it does look more grey to me. It doesn't smell like oil, friend says it smells like fuel.

      That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.

      I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps.

      Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?
