Ok Story Goes -

Heard all about Skylines, how good they are etc etc.
Saved up the pennies and bought one. 10k for a 'L' reg import.
10k i hear you say! "tis a fake my good man", "It's been thrashed mate"

Well it's actually a GTS (250bhp Rear wheel) Which in it's own way is in a word FUN. "Sideways" springs to mind

Thing is - it doesn't have quite the bruitish looks of a GTR which is what i really fell in love with a originally.

"So get a GTR". - Hmmm 26 year old, grp 20 insurance + the actual car price!!


So i thought i'd go for the lame approach of "Anyone know where i can get some GTR look-alikes from for a GTS?"

West Yokahama do a full kit - front bumper, front wings, rear quarters etc for around 200,000 Yen. I'd imagine the labour to fit and paint such a thing would probably justify buying a GT-R and paying extra on the insurance - as this would probably work out cheaper in the long run.

10k for a good L plate R33GTS25T with low mileage is OK in my book

GTS's are FUN, don't be carried away with the media attitude, 250bhp is a substantial amount of power, and scary when you loose it the first time.

Why emulate the GTR, the GTS has plenty good looks on its own, however a little bit of paint on the rear SKYLINE logo will disguise your humble roots and a GTR spoiler will fit straight on to the tailgate.

A simple grill insert sorts the front end out, but if you want more kit check www.takakaira.co.jp for a selection of body kits.

James,

Ahhh the "fake it till you make it" approach.

Why not try some of the garages like Abbey as they tend to have lots of parts reclaimed from other vehicles.

Sideways I don't blame you making it look like a GTR. I have a few pictures of GTR Lookalikes. Here they are:
