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

I saw a white r33 gtr widebody at nundah. I think it was a different kit tho im not sure.. the fmic was humongus tho

GTR Cam has a widebody kit fitted by Ares Speed...looks good and is not as over the top as some of these...and it does look PHAT...

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.
