R33 GT-R Hatch? WTF? *pic*

[d0p3y]

Stumbled accross this in my japanese googling adventures. I may be blind but this appears to be some sort of R33 GT-R hatch. Looks weird! No back pic sorry!

Anyone seen this before?! o_O

[sammus]

why would anyone want to do that...

[blx]

WTF??

That is bizare! Can't be factory could it?

[uneekwahn]

probably find its a honda with a gtr body kit

To me, from that pic it kinda looks like a pulsar GTI-R has been cut with an R33... just from the rear, and the read guards etc...

[nmcmahon83]

well maybe not even a GTI-R could even be a new model pulsar hatch...

anyway, it looks odd.

[Mazinger]

looks pretty cool to me,

no falmes please

Looks like an R33 GT-R with a 'hatch' section 'photochopped' on. If it is real, though, it does look pretty strange.

[d0p3y]

It's not a photoshop. These were pictures from a motorsport event on a Japanese website.

It looks like a hatch from an N13 Nissan Exa, I think. There was a rarer "wagon" version of the EXA in japan, the back end shape on them was quite similar to that one... So I think maybe they've custom fitted the EXA Hatch to it......

With enough money, you can do anything.

This would be patently clear with the various 'fake' 4WD Autech R33 GT-R sedans made from the four door RWD 33 GTSt.

Obviously this is not a cheap exercise.

What about the variety of idiotic conversions you see...

Station wagon Aston Marton DB7's, the 4 door AND station wagon Ferrari 456 - that little weld on hatchback on a $40,000 GT-R would be a snap.

I've seen a few conversions like this - and it's not just r33s...

Thats OPTION MAGAZINE's PROJECT CAR. Year was bout 96/97? Not 100% sure on that one. But they built it and it was also at the Tokyo Auto Salon that year.

Guys, guys... it's nothing much. If I remember correctly, it's an R33 GT-R that "Dai" from Option magazine did up about 6 or 7 years ago. I'm not sure where the hatch part came from, but the car was featured in an old playstation game called Option Tuning Car Battle Spec R wich came out in May 2000.

As far as I know, it had something like 600ps... and not much else worth worrying about other than that wagon bit...

[Sentric dancer]

Rezz is right.. it is from Dai the oldies ( stil mega funny ) from option. It is quite a famous car. seen it in a few old magazine... So its not photocropped or anything..

[Guest RedLineGTR]

crazy stuff...i guess you get more room in the back seat

[ABuSD]

dunno but i dont mind the colour/body styling

[predator]

to me just looks like a giant wing and slight trick in the photo just by the angle so it looks weird at the back??
