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.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
