Oh god, not again.
The rear kit is awful, the lines don't flow, and overall the car looks like terrible.

I think the car looks good from the front and not the back but seeing as how r33's are legal in a lot of states it would probally make a good profit sold to someone in the maine wisconson area.

it's a 2000cc not a 2600, they will butcher you with the price just because it's "RARE" , if you are going buy a GTS, buy a talon here it's cheaper and better than the GTS

I saw that too and even worse i think only 2000cc in 93 was a non turbo.

Last I checked, he wasn't looking for everyone's two cents on the looks of the car.
Personal preference is exactly that.
If you're set on buying this car then be aware that it will need lot's of TLC over the years to come.
Also, I really advice against buying simply through the internet. Let the importers take the chance on the vehicles.
You never know exactly what you're buying when you buy from an auction house in Japan.
The whole "grade of body" is also very hit and miss.
Also, not to mention if you do buy this and you're in any sort of accident the body repair bill on something that customized will be enormous.
Just be aware.

Thats a Bee-R kit, not exactly rare. Likely 30+ skylines in Canada with that kit.
It is a joke if you ask me, for $7000 + install I would get the veilside widebody.

...and which Veilside widebody kit is this for an R32 Skyline?

01-26-2009, 12:16 AM

The XS Engineering R32 GT-R has a lot more than just a Veilside widebody kit on it to give it that look.

skylinegtr20
01-26-2009, 11:12 PM
Not sure, Im not 100% sure.
Timo had it in both pictures above. Had Work VS-XX (2nd pic) and the first picture it has Work Meisters, baller wheel fitment.

I splurged on a Tomei Piston oil cap and painted my valve covers midnight purple. Thats about the extent of my car "looking good" its all about going fast.
The front of that car looks pretty decent, but the back is horrible. Why would they go through all the trouble to make the front look like an r34, then just say "fuck it" with the rear:dunno:
