ive seen a back lexus in aus with a massive wide body kit, proba an extra 5-6" wider on each side. this is tame compared to that one. whether they will let it pass i dunno but it looks factory enough to talk your way thru. if this lexus and those kakimoto wide body liners are allowed on road i dont why this kit cant. im no expert...lol

ps is that a 32??

yeah, its nice... but the only reason you'd get it is if you were overly concious about weight differences betweent he R32 and the R34, wanted a RWD with GTR looks, or couldn't afford a real R34.

The guys in Canada will be all over this kit as they can't own anything other than 15 eyar old R32's. Over here its a slightly different story. That said, a guy in SA has made his own R32 -> R34 conversion, not as phat as the Bee-R R324 but still pretty clever.

I've seen that car in the metal and to be honest only hardcore Skyline enthusiasts can spot that it's really an R32... but when ordinary people figure it out they do it's like "oh..." you know? Like they got excited that it was a legit R34 then realized it's just a poor old R32 :) thats what happened while I was at Osaka Auto Messe...

i think its awesome, the japs are getting crazy with front end conversions, just recently saw an R32/180 conversion.

something different, yet tasteful. i dont think its got anything to do with making your r32 into a 34 because you cant afford it, the conversion costs around $10000, if youve got $10000 to spend on a front end, you can afford a 34.

I saw the Bee-R 324s at Tokyo Autosalon and I have to admit they did look pretty good in the flesh. I think the photos don't do it justice. Personally I think that an R32GTR looks better with an R32GTR front end. It's a beatiful, purposeful shape and should be left as is imo. 34GTRs are nice too in a different way.

Personally my GTR will stay as is body wise, expect for re-spray in the stock Gun Metal Grey :D

Why bother doing this to your 32?? I've seen the Bee-R cars at TAS and also at Tsukuba testing at a Battle Mag event and I wasn't particularly impressed. FRP kitted cars might look impressive at shows but when I saw the car out in the open I thought it was pretty badly finished (not to mention it had a broken bumper!). Orange peel due to poor FRP, questionable panel fitting....nah...keep 32s as they are! There is nothing wrong with them!

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
