[tinys s14]

I agree I think the 33 looked a lot better

[Z32TT-R]

ehhh......

[Memberofthe600hpkaclub]

ummmm why is that a lhd?

[sex14]

for some reason 90% of the rhd japanese cars (that ive seen) that are exported to the phillipines and UAE were converted into LHD, maybe by law its required?

I remember hearing a friend say that it is a law in the PI

[20 til 3]

thats pretty awsome

[deolio]

all i want to know is: why the fuck?

[s13silvia_R]

looks good, no hack job seen here.

[matts13vert]

that took a lot of hours of body work!! major props to the people that put that together!

[97240TB]

I don't care if it was done by the gods of body work, This car is aids infested dicks in a big bag.

[illvialuver]

I bet you that car smells nice though, sponsored by glade!!!

lololololol "Pine sol." car.

[AGNT84]

that actually doesnt look bad......good work

[iLagX]

Clean body work!! At home too crazy!!! Nice paint

[theboy]

nice work but it seems pointless and it probably costed them WAY more to do the conversion, than to go out and buy an r35. Especially if they just wanted to build a race car with an rb26.

[Okinawandrifter87]

I just threw up a lil in my mouth...

[statickx991]

all i want to know is: why the fuck?

i agree, i rather have the 33 by farrrr

[josephin510]

Im guessing atleast 100k in body work over a spand of one to two years.

[Victory!!]

Dudeeee, this car is sponsored by GLADE!! Free air fresheners for Life!!

[h2v7]

wow hella work woulda kept the 33 and then got a new 35 !

[azndoc]

I think it actually looks good. The R33 is the ugliest body ever so fuck it, to make it look like an R35 is not a bad idea.

[DustinSixOh9]

That is fucking rad. I don't see what there is to hate, maybe I'm just not hella purist enough?

[josephin510]

Great huff while you drive.

[thatdrifterguy]

i think they just used a real gtr for a mold then made a full fiberglass body and just layed it over the r33. 1k in body work since it was all done at home. lol

[[email protected]]

holy hell.

NEW ROOF = LEGIT

[Krazykouki]

ummmm why is that a lhd?

I wonder what they did to the downpipe to get around the steering column...curious now as to whether or not there is a factory part that can be ordered.

You can do this at home? I no think so. I stand at my absurd price of 100k and up the time to three years.

[theboy]

no, its possible to do this at home. if you have enough money to do the swap then im sure they have enough to do it at home. its the same thing as doing the mini 64 mustang conversion to a miata, just a little bigger car.

[jholman]

props for good body skills.....but why would you wanna do this

[battle_240sx]

i think it looks good. its different. im just happy no one is doing it to a 240sx.

[SuicidnS13]

All I know is that I want a PI based R33 GTR now. Just for the sakes of having it LHD so I can actually drive it safely in our streets and actually get drivethrough with ease...

[Banana_Cute]

^^^^ everything Japanese cars in PI is LHD, from Silvia's, Cefiro's and as you see skyline..

Pretty cool. though.

[iStayBroke]

My reaction after reading the thread title then clicking the link:

[BoostSlideWayz]

To me it looks like it never was an r33 on the finished product. but, either way when it comes to skylines i like the older ones so i dont like it really. kinda neat tho about the whole rb when you pop the hood though.

[SinGarage]

All the cars imported to PI has to be converted to LHD. It's the law. I have several clients I ship cars to there. While visiting, I have seen these type of operations to convert RHD to LHD from Silvia's, Skylines, Patrols, MR2, etc. Typical conversion usually takes approximately about a month depending on how many employees they have. My client had about 250 people working on about 300 minimum cars per month. It's amazing how they chop up the dash board and put it back together. It almost looks stock. Crappy part about it is the turn signal and windshield wiper are on the opposite side. I've got some pics but gotta find them first.

[sex14]

first do find the pics, i left the philippines when i was only 14 and lived in a rural area in cebu, never knew there was even a car scene there until about 5 years ago (23 now and in WA), another cool thing i found hope its not a repost

hope its not a repost

It is a :repost:, but it's from years ago, so I'm sure some people have missed it.

While I may not agree with this GTR conversion, it does what it is supposed to do; shows off the shops skill.

[sex14]

that guy were u in the service? im currently in the army stationed in ft lewis WA

[ThatGuy]

Check my profile. This thread isn't about me.

[97nismo]

[surge s14]

same here. i lived in las pinas. and my dad would tell me about the street racing scene back there...

Kinda want to see if i can ever ship an Owner type Jeep here as a kit car. ;)

[Sad s13]

wouldnt have been easier/cheaper to put a rb26 into a r35?

[mastaflash05]

why put all that body work into a car thats going to get banged into a wall drifting? the whole idea is dumb. money clearly is not an issue, so just get a r35 and slap some glade stickers on it.

[SinGarage]

Sorry for being a little late with the pictures but here are some examples.

I would imagine that it if you wanted to get something like that done over there it would cost you between 3k - 5k. The conversion is the cheap part, the car is the expensive part. A clean almost stock S14 there cost around 15k and 10k for an S13. A show car paint job (completely stripped car and painted inside and out) costs only around 1k including bodywork. What is cheap there is labor.

[tricky_ab]

Eh I'd take the R33 over that conversion. It's a well detailed conversion but I'm still left scratching my head and asking why?

[AN300zx]

so it looks like a car that its slower than?

[180sxsr20]

thats some skilled work, i think its a waste of money and time to do that
