J-Specs got an original Kakimoto Widebody R33... seems like all the others are kit versions, coz they don't have the original rear wing... also the original one is pure alloy (welded with the original guards), wheras the kits are fibreglass bogged in to match.

Their one's in brissy atm I think being prepped for the next autosalon (its gonna be their showcar).

It handles amazingly well considering its got 12" wide rims at the back n 10" at the front.

And yeah, the wing on that car is like the most highly sought after part of the kit, coz there's no replica's of it, only originals.

Once the boys are done with it, it should win at least a couple of trophies. Next time it won't have any stickers coz they feel it'll ruin the paintjob. But all other details are hush hush. n maybe this time they'll make sure that the seats are attached so when sum1 tries to sleep in the car they don't fall over :) *hint hint*

Wallystyles, where did you pick that car up from? I remember recently seeing Streetmachines had one for a short time, never saw it or a pic though.

Yeah the red and yellow cars are the skyline imports version. They also had a white one but sold it.

Funky, it wasn't Craig, this guy stole the car ... and i followed him.....Zoidberg was there also.... :P :zap:

Hahahaha! Good one!

That car must have a 1150mm spacers on the front to "accomodate" those FWD offset rims...:D

zoidberg looks like he's wearing gareth's jumper too lol...

skylineimports... that's the mob in adelaide that wanted to copy my strawberry face kit back in the day.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
