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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
