I have found a real Skyline kit! its a replica of an R33 my favorite skyline heres the link www.wickedbodies.net/generic162.html i hope it works but if you get there its the blue car for those of you who dont know anything about the skyline. Its based on a Acrua legend( which i have been asking for a long time now!) Its decent needs a need front bumper and orginal head lamps to match the real thing.

I dont know how make R34replicas but the blue in that site is a R33 from the fast and furious you know that yellow car. You can replicate almost every car but to replicate the performance is a hole new ball game! are you willing to pay over 200k for a toyota supra?!

Oh trust me If you want a Toyota Supra that can beat any high end supercars its going to hit well over 100k!. Thats not in cluding time and labor. Plue you better have top gun skills because this type of car aint for no collage kid to be putting 15k in a supra and thinking i can beat a 360 modena. You see the ricer world thinks with a turbo they think hey i can beat a 911! wrong! theres alot of key factors that you have to concider. The stock chassis from a Supra will handle well over 600 like any other chassis could ex) Fiero, cobra but when you want over 1000hp your chassis will not hold up to long. If a Viper Henssey and a Lingenfelter corvette only have a 2 year warrenty that should tell you something. These cars are more advanced than a supra and produce more power but they dont last long. Then the weight of a supra those cars are like 1970s caddillacs they are BOATS they weght alot cant turn!. Maybe a Fiero based lamborghini could turn better! Then the engine of the car could handle up to 700hp before getting that 30k motor swap thats not including the 17k wireing harness because your old one will burn!. In the end it not worth 200k on an everyday seen car unless your a toyota fan. I would rather get either a real Murcielago because i know yea that supra will beat me in a drag race but overall he cant beat me at the track nor in topspeed and being a real supercar. Or a Northamerican Lambo replica lets see a supra try and look better than a lamborghini just parked there.!

Ok, well first off I really don't think you guys know what your talking about. Why would you use a Acura Legend anyways its a damn Honda car Skylines are not even made by Honda, lol. If I were you, I would use a Nissan 95 and up 240sx or maybe even a Silvia s15.
You guys sound likes some noob's, if you guys can't do your own work go buy a wrx every noob has 1. The wrx is the type of car for you noobs.

Building a Skyline replica is like building a Viper replica you have a choice you can either buy the real one a pay about 45k for a Skyline from japan or get a legend and with less than 10k you can have a replica but i dont plan on building one i would rather buy an R33. I dont like WRXs, I would have a field day with a supra! I dont like Hondas because of the lawnmower sound. The production car market is somewhat bring! you can buy a WRX or 350Z for about 35k but i would rather get a D&R kit and Fiero V8 swap and i would cost less than any of those cars. Ultima GTR is the best overall performance KITCAR you can buy. Every noob has a Honda Civic and for some reason they think they can take on a *******. Which is why im in to kitcars because this import trend this is getting redicluois by the years. And i dont wanna look back in 20years or so and say OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING! glad to have you here.

yeah the ultima gtr is HOT ! ive seen it twice . one is in my area . its a really hot looking car in person. i thought it was a enzo from the back and side view. everyone was drooling over it. the only thing i dont like about the guy who owns it , is because he tells everyone its a f1 mclarene (wrong spelling ha).the funny thing is most people believe him too. oh well hes getting the last laugh now.

I have seen the Enzo once here in Colorado Springs before and let me tell you it looks like a Fiero on ROIDS! I only seen it for about 5seconds and then it took of like a Jet never to be seen again. My mom is the lucky one she use to work for some rich guy and he owns about 65cars! yea! she said one day at his house there was a Viper GTS, Lotus(did say) ******* 360, and a Mclaren F1 in gray! his name is terry ragan he is related to ron ragan!. but he is a A**hole big time! About a year later i meet a Lamborghini the guy was cool he let me take pictures of his car. he also own a testarossa which is now wrecked! and distroyed. and he had a Lingenfeilter Corvette a sleeper! it looks like a normal one then that thing will do 0-60 in 2.0seconds. I have seen a Mclaren kit driving around before and a D&R countach driving at my brothers work it blue and nice i hope someday i can race him or her.

No a Honda Civic's are not noob cars your Evo8 STIWRX and Dodge Neon STR4 are noob cars. You can go right in a dealer ship and buy 1 already all supped up. And do you see any Hondas stock like noob cars rolling off the showroom floors, no I don't think so its all after marketstuff on Hondas. Don't get me wrong STIWRX and EVO8 and Dodge Neon STR4 are bad a** cars but every noob has 1 and there are some Hondas out there that are faster then your Vipers and *******'s. If you go and buy a Dodge Viper for $50k to $80k and then go and buy a Honda for $15,000 or less and then put all your left over money in that Honda. The Honda would end up faster then the Viper. I have seen this done.

well maybe im a 'noob' but who the hell would spend $35,000 tuning up a honda? yea it would beat a viper but its a honda, it will always be a honda. only honda worth playing with is an NSX or a S2000, something without a back seat. sorry but a 2 door civic is not a sports car and never will be anything but an economy car. just like a camry, or an accord, i wouldnt tune either of them either

i like in Greensboro NC, a real big biotech part of the US, lots of rich people, home to 'Forign Cars Italia' and a few other high end exotica dealerships. iv seen quite a few nice cars, #18 of the aniversary murcielagos, a McLaren F1, countless vettes, probly around 40 different *******s, steeda/rousche/saleen mustangs. my neighbor collects Vettes and family friend has a viper GTs, ******* Tesstarossa and a ******* 456. No lie, every other car down here is either a mercedes or a BMW, if u like cars u should really visit.

i can kinda see where u think a sti or evo is a noob car, its stock faster then alot of things, and it really seems like they did all the work for ya, italian racing seats, momo wheel, ect ect. nothing really else to tune cept a bigger turbo.

but back to the topic... this isnt a kit of a skyline, its just an inspired rear end, just like the dodge viper bumper for the dodge avenger, and the murci bumbers iv seen for the nissan 300zx. and idiot that new anything about skylines could tell in 2 sec that it wasnt really a skyline, (not RHD) and if they didnt know anything about skylines then they wouldnt even notice the changed tailights.

ehh hope it helps

Pantera... that post is all wrong, no offense. To get a Viper eating Supra you don't need to spend 200k. You've already got a twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE engine putting out 320 horsepower and 315ft/lbs torque. The weight of the car is around 3500lbs. That's almost identical to the Viper's weight. You could throw 7k into a used Supra and run par with a Viper for half the price.

As for the original topic, that Skyline replica looks pretty cheesy. Did you check ebay for the R33/R34 bumper kits they have for other Nissans? They're a steal for the money.

Thats what the Supra Store said about there awsome supra! But the Viper will always be a Supra killer. That skyline kit does look a little chessy but im checking on ebay to see how much is it to buy a real one.

yeah everyone is sort of right. i see what you all are saying . hondas will always be hondas . i totally agree. ive seen so many of those civics turbo and they think that they can beat everything on the road.
as for the skyline kit , i guess its ok . but could use a few more improvements . but hey its something to work with. im thinking is it better to buy a cheaper skyline and then to supe it up?

Do you own a Legend, Pantera? If not I don't think it's a suitable start to make a Skyline. I'd rather go with an Infiniti or another Nissan. But you'll never get an authentic Skyline body with just a body kit. Check out the Black Widow kits when you do your searching. I think they're pretty close to the Skyline. Whatever you do, please, please, don't ruin another cars lines by adding that batmobile Veilside-type kit on.

Which yellow car? The only Skyline I remember was the Silver one. Maybe you're looking for a Lancer Evolution? (They're much quicker than a legend. and you can buy a lancer cheap and do an evolution body conversion and it will look AUTHENTIC!) Anyway, don't use the Fast And Furious movies for reference... That Supra smoked the F355. That doesnt happen in real life.

First of all, the Silver R34 Skyline GTR is in 2Fast 2Furious and so is the Lancer Evo VII. The Yellow R33 Skyline GTR is in The Fast and the Furious, which incidently is a ex HKS test development car. Secondly the 700hp Supra from the Fast and the Furious would wipe the floor with a ******* 355, so yes that was real!!! As for the Skyline Replica (I have covered this before) Try and locate a R33 Skyline GTS-t or even better the GTS-4. They cost about a quarter of what a GTR costs and you can body kit the car from there.
As for the Supra you don't need to spend too much to make it extremely fast. And as for the Chassis only being able to handle 700hp, well then you better go and tell Veilsid and top Secret that their 1000hp Supras can't take that much power, because I'm sure you know best!!!
The reason Hondas are so popular is because they're cheap and there is so many aftermarket parts for them. Yes they may not be as fast a these supercars you are listing, but they are alot of fun to drive. Thats one of the great things about Japanese cars is that they can be built to have blistering performance, be alot of fun, and still excessable to everyone. Not many people can afford to buy and maintain a Viper or and ******* 360, but they can afford a Civic or Integra. Plus the WRX's and Evo's have alot of potential, and it doesn't take much to unleash alot of power!!!

Hope this Helps

Guess I didn't remember that, thanks. Yeah, a 200k Supra would be unreal. I still like the WRX STi or the Lan-Evo for my import taste... any car that comes stock with ALS you know is going to be quick. Pantera, I was assuming you lived in the States, if you don't, getting a Skyline may be less of a hassle for you. I know in the US Skylines are few and far between, because making them street legal here is near impossible.

www.bonsaicars.com
if u want a skyline, or a cheap supra Tt, nsx, pretty much any jap supercar
they ship them from japan to the UK, there u could load it in a container and ship it to the states, if u register it as a track and show car then u don thave to make it street legal.

Note the following is highly unrecomended
you *COULD* just drive it on slow roads and back roads if u want to see how it handles, as long as u dont get pulled, just put a tag off ur other car on it for monthly driving to keep the car running fine, this IS ILLEGAL, but just saying u COULD.

with that out of the way
bonsaicars.com lists something like 7,000 cars a week for auction some starting and $50. and alot of them allreayd have bodykits, racing wheels, exhaust, gauges, ect. and if u really want to save money look for cars with a rating of R(i think). that means they were wrecked and rebuilt.

if u dont want to bid through them just suggest a car for them to buy and send to there car lot in the UK, then handle it form there if they ever do buy it. they normally have around 10 supras in stock at their car lot, around 5 Skylines, 5 RX-7s and several 300zx.

also cars from japan normally have and oddly low amount of miles, and in very good shape

to see some of the past auctions they have done click member login, then at the bottom wher eit says click here for a taster, and pick a make and model.

the member ship is free and all they ask is a little information and what cars u are interested in.

hope this helps

Ok, you guys sounds like you know it all, so why try to help you guys. If I were you, I would use a Nissan 240sx, a 95 and up, or a Silvia s15. You can put a r32, r33, or a r34 skyline engine in both of thes cars with no problems. You can also put a AWD kit on them as well. But, I come from the racing import world. I think you guys don't like the idea that some Hondas are faster then your Vipers and stuff. I think you are all embarressed to admit that you have been beaten by a Hondas, that is why you hate them so much.

Well the Movies i know of is the Cannon Ball run1 and 2, Speed Zone,( Countach) The Fast and Furious( Blue Diablo SV) you would have to look close but you really cant see it or if you got the tricked out DVD all you would have to do is watch how to trick out a ride. In one of the seens there is an F14 tomcat fighter in the back! when the cars take of you can see the wings of it just setting there. 2fast2furious also has a Diablo is the 6.0 VT i think. The new up coming batman movie will feature a Murcielago Roadster. RPM the movie had a Diablo VT, Dumb and Dumber1 had a nice Diablo, Rumble in the brox had an old IFG countach i know it was an IFG kit. Badaeezled( sorry if i didnt spell right) also had an IFG kit a phantom VT, boller room had that same car. there are many other movies but i dont remember them.

Race_me know what hes talking about but a civic with just turbo is not eough for me!. You could hook up any car but it would still have to come down to whos the better driver. i have seen Corvettes beat Lamborghinis before because the driver of the lamborghini wasnt aggressive seams like he or she wasnt even trying.

Race_Me, the reason most people hate hondas is because the only way to get power is to completely screw your power curve with forced induction. In the end, there is still no replacement for displacement. Also, Honda Civics and Accords are not supposed to go fast. They're economy cars. I have no problem with a tuned S2000 or NSX. Just don't bring a Civic in with the rear seats taken out for "weight reduction" but 100lbs of body kit added on.

I own a 95 Nissan Skyline GT-R, I was reading this forum about "fake" skyline's and bodykit's, because of price of thing's. Well I just bought a bodykit for my skyline from Veilside which only ran me $1,600 which isn't that much money. Most of you porbaly going to ask me where I got my Skyline and how much it cost. Well 1st I didnt get it from Motorex, I payed $45,000 all together for Legailization and the car. My car has Missouri tag's, U.S. paper work, and all the neccasary sticker's providing that it is U.S street legal.

1. the guy who made this thread- you are a dumass- look at the quarter windows and the slant of the post for the on the skyline ONCE and then tell me that making a legend witha abody kit a skylien a skyline works- idiots(hake of head)

2. Hodas CAN be fast for about 5500 dollars and know what you are doing.
a. strip a crx
b. a 99 b16a with fully forged bottom end and head work (pistons at 8 to one from arias)
c. make your own trubo kit for about 1200 or so bucks ( make sure not to use any more than a t3 turbo) use turbo edit and a 512 chip to mess with the ecu

there a fast honda- yet yes it is a pos honda i have owned a few hated all of them

3. for the duech bag who claims to have a skyline

a. you could have only gotten you sky from motorex they are the ONLY ones who can provide legal documents to date (although sean morris at rbmotoring is atempting to do the same for the 32s)
b. you can have with in the past 2 and a half years- because they did not put out cars for that long and they under a 500 thousand dollar law suit for such reasons.
c. if you got your skylien FOR real then you got it illigally - if so i can easlily use you ip address to report your location to the usdot and police WILL show up at the door the next day take you car crush it or auction it you will be in jail and ow a 200,000 dollar fine.

SO either admit your lie and go away or just get caught and may justiced be served to those that wish they had a sky but can't becase of the usdot being absolut morons. for gods sake the pacer is driving they have no prob there but they have a prob with the sky (friggen idiots)

3. if someone really wants to make a kit wither make a full kit for a 240 or somewthing FR. or a sc300 they have the window glass all right and the post- the bottom of the door needs to come in a little and the rear tires need to go back about a foot on the body. and new bumpers lights and hood. rims of course- then you have a skyline- BUT the car already WILL cost about 8gs. and at that point i would rather have a 327 with camle back head in my 85 gt fiero with 350hp to the wheels and spank your car- including the honda.

BUT if some one were to offer this kit for the fiero i would be HIGHLY intersted.

my 2 cents or 400 dollars which ever comes first.

Vega why all the harshness? Is there any real need for that? Threatening to take someones ride is just wrong. Since you abviously have more automotive knowledge than even Carol Shelby, and more knowledge of the law than the entire Supreme Court, why don't you get my IP address, and try to take my Skyline? Does anyone else here wish people like Vega, who do nothing but attack someone else, be banned?
