Default What do you think? - 06-18-2005 , 02:55 PM






My jaw hit the ground when I realised just how good an S13 can look:

I think you could probably buy an R32 Skyline for what it would cost you
to find a tidy S13 then fit the kit and paint it.

Skylines are still pretty expensive even the R32 GT-S still goes for £3,000+
in good condition due to its cult status I suppose.

I think I would prefer a S13 anyway, if only because I can get insured on
it. What grouping is the R32 GT-S, I think its around 18/19 isnt it?

And how much do you think a solid S13 would cost to buy and tart up so
it was like those in the pics?

You don't know much about insuring modded cars, do you? - A kitted, big
wheeled, S13 would more than likely cost more than insuring a standard
R32.

This one looks the dogs fucking dangle bits! the others are a bit tacky IMO

i like the S13 but they'd need a lot of work to get them looking that good!

They do absolutely nothing for me, it's just a bunch of tarted up old
Nissans.

And what's with the 'collapsed front wheel' look ?

I'm slightly puzzled by the amount of camber being run on the front
wheels.

Looks like they're a boulevard cruiser only - and one that'll wear
through fronts in hundreds, not thousands, of miles.

A really solid one? They go for about £1,000-£1,500 from my research so far,
but that is on ebay... I hav'nt had a chance to get hold of a new copy of
auto trader and flick through.

Oh I have no aspirations to get one of those kits because they have to be
imported from the USA/Japan and cost around £1000-1400, although I really
like the Hippo Sleek II and the GP Sports G-Four. I was just suprised how
completely different they looked and wanted to share the pics with any
japanese car fans here.

I'm actually starting to like the look of the S12 too... help!
