[calgarys_finest]

Haha how many people look at the title and said oh god not again. I was browsing some websites like i usually do and found this guy thats up for auction soon i wonder what it would sell for i think its beautiful. :dunno:

[narou]

wtf... they could have at least finished butchering it

[Destinova403]

wow... its fast AND furious

you could probably get it over here pretty cheap...

[Isaiah]

Oh god, not again.

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

[badatusrnames]

All I can offer is don't buy a modified car...

[calgarys_finest]

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.

R33's are legal in the US (or at least parts)? Explain...

QFT
unless you're looking at swapping out all/most engine components.

wow
what a job but in the end its still a r32

[semograd]

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.

[ercchry]

i dunno where you get auction from it has a price...

that car is dirt cheap, could probably get it to calgary for $4000-$4500 all in

[chkolny541]

i kinda like it, and people cant act like if they saw that roar past them they wouldnt look twice

50000 yen is the starting bid for the auction.
i use jad a few times and i like them there are cars that they on but you have to click the jad stock.

[ercchry]

hmm well some cars say auction and some dont, and the auction started saturday and it is now monday in japan... when does this auction end?

[LOLzilla]

:barf:

[Sorath]

i think it looks ok, the rear end looks disgusting though

[Tram Common]

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.

Maybe like 5-10 in Canada with that complete kit.

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

[skylinegtr20]

Kit is like $4500 usd so like $7000 canadian + install. So in the $10,000 range.

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

[Sorath]

thats not the only one, theres a guy in bc whos got one too

[skylinegtr20]

Believe it is the same guy, he purchased Timo's car (pictured above). Lives in the valley I think.

[Sorath]

i thought the other one was grey :/

maybe im on crack or something.

when timo had it did it have the gold vs-xx wheels?

[skylinegtr20]

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.

[Sorath]

well if thats the car from bc the guy was selling awhile ago then thats the one.

[skylinegtr20]

Really, man I would never sell that car. Its amazing!

i would give an arm, leg and my first born for that kit :drool:

[chkolny541]

[Sorath]

[Sorath]

amen brother, goes with any nissan though, u want fast or look good?

pick one lol if u want both $$$$$$$$$$$

[skylinegtr20]

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.

[jsn]

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:
