Image size reduced, original size: 1600 x 1200. Click here to view the image in its original dimension. so there it is alot of work to be done to get it to were i need it to be but im exitied the list of parts is about 2 pages long! but my plan is by summer of next year to be just doing paint and it will be ready for those of you who havnt seen the shuto kousoku trail series i end this new build thred with the full video of the movie! thank you for ready ill try to answer as many questions as possible i.e part names or whats that car or anything along the lines. then for driven to perform 2014 this car will enter and im hoping for an award or two ! heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGtWmKUKMos |

Wish i could find a bargain like that! I've watched all the Shuto and the series is fun, but the quality is sooo bad. And then, you know that just convert a GTST to a GTR is a hell of a job. Your cheap 1000 will become 10000 and then the rest comes. Maybe it was easier to buy a GT-R and then convert it to Shikiba! But okay, first start with your list and see if you can make it. Are you going to keep the engine stock or put a RB26 in it? Then compare a GTST to a GTR: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/167679-comparis...d-r33-gtst.html The gtst is a totally different car than a GT-R so that can't be helped. Hey, this is a same guy as you: http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=194131 And when you R33 is finally a GT-R you must change the color to Midnight Purple and put your glasses on to find what sticker that thing has and what exhaust/rims he's got. And you should check out the japaneses to find the studio car somewhere, it could help! Here's some pics: (that is very important too) So, good luck. I don't have a car yet, so if you continue this project i can't help you anymore. *EDIT: I think he has Work Meister rims: No, the Work Meister CR01: Image size reduced, original size: 980 x 300.

Been a R33 fan all my life and of course they are just a beast in Shuto Kousoku and Wangan Midnight series. Too bad it's really not feasible to import and own one in the US yet unless you are loaded.. |

It's much easier in Canada(and legal). In fact my cousin is in the process of importing a RHD GC STI from Japan. | ||
