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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
