*sigh* that wide body rob is the Nismo LM roadcar, only like 50 made for Group A amalgamation I think.

the ones running around are from Skyline Imports, they don't charge an arm and a leg for their kits, they're all copies off the Kakimoto widebodykit, which they fit to some of the cars which they comply by request.

here's the J-spec R33, which sports the original kakimoto kit , being put to good use.

notice the original kakimoto wang hidden in the smoke which is uber rare and expensive, and I don't think Skyline imports puts it on their copies.

The white widebody GTR getting around that people are refering to is completly different to the Nismo LM one pictured and nothing like the Kakimoto copies that Skyline Imports do. Although I parked my GTST beside the white one Ernie had at his shop for a while and it was huge! Made my GTST look like a little toy. Never got to see in person the red or yellow ones featured in HPI. The Skyline Import one that Ernie show me were very well put together, the pearl/white widebody GTR getting around looks a bit dodgy to me in comparison.

here are some cleaner photos but this is on the only wide body gtr i have seen...dont have any info about how many were made or were there copys made :D

That looks fu*king amazing!

Imagine the sheer shock factor driving that around

I like it :aroused:

And u know with that much body work, and made by nismo, that the engine aint no standard engine :)

yeah some crazy mod does lookalike kits (seeing as the original is off limits). the R32 one I've got the brochure for, its made to look like the R32 GR A widebody, almost got it, but then I saw the BN widebody n fell in luv

i have seen this car on smith st......looks crazy and the bodykit is really over the top. Oh and the GTR badge wasnt straight heh

i've seen this one here on the coast a few times in southport, parked outside the BMW yard, white with a pearl, looks like more of a fiberclass kit this one

here are some cleaner photos but this is on the only wide body gtr i have seen...dont have any info about how many were made or were there copys made :)

those look like they were modeled on the KURE race r33 gtr, the only kit i'd want for a r33, i might have to do some serching the net...

this is my widebody kit i dont know if you have seen me driven but i cruise around marsdan ive been to milton macs a couple of times but havent been out to much cause i didnt have my licence but i got it back now so if any one wants to go for a cruise or just compare cars just tell me where and ill be there.....hope you like.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
