You can call me a hater or whatever you want, but why do people feel like they have to make their car into something it's not. If you really want to ball, import an R33 and call it a day. You have an S13 vert. Always was, always will be.

well, i like people critisim or how ever you guys spell it, but, if you read on page 1, i had a chance to buy 1 r32 for 26Gs, and since i had 4k cash(don't make a lot of cash), i bought my vert, and i know i am a s13 vert, but call me stupid, i just felt in love with the r32 tail lights and the kouki bad a$$ front i wish i had more time to finish my project quicker

i love the car it's looking really good the only negitive thing i have to say is that i dont like the bumper at all infact i dont like any r34 styled bumper. i just think they look bad!

but other then that its coming out great and you have really came a long way from when you first started.

keep up the good work man.

The best thing about this build is the fact that the new tail doesn't have the bumper projection that the stock vert has which sticks out 6 inches from the back of the car. This Skyline bumper flows much nicer, especially without the spoiler.

It's coming along very nicely.

I'm still not feeling that huge front bumper though... I guess we'll see how it turns out.

Keep up the good work.

Lovin this build so far. It really makes the vert look big and wide. The kouki front end looks amazing as well. Good job!

wish I had as much money as you do to blow on useless build... no offense, but... seems like your just riding on the nissan bandwagon... your car makes no sense.. and the simple fact you started this with no prior thoughts of an engine.... and oh god... paying 2 grand for an rb25.. your friend is even worse.. ugh.. ..

hmmm, well looks to me as though you are "just riding on the nissan bandwagon" as well. You do have a 240 right? He's rushin to get this thing done before he gets married. soon before he cant work on it anymore. why would you say his car makes no sense? thats for him to judge. You want to know the deal on his car? alright I'll break it down for ya:

1. He has a vert2. Dude loves the R323. He has a short timeframe in which he can finish his car4. Lets be unique and do an R32 rear end.5. While I'm at it, why not go full steam ahead and do a kouki front?

get it?
