Re: Pics from Japan (bogus)
Thank you !
Would someone let me know the meaning of "fart pipes" ?
I can not understand the term with my poor English skil.....
I added one pic here. It's an exhaust pipe(diameter : around 100mm) from another view.

Rough Translation of Fart Pipe
Fart Pipe (Noun) An exhaust pipe that is excessively large in diameter.
Fart Pipes tend to sound like angry bumble bees and usually sound like this BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. To see an actual Fart Pipe, Look up Honda Type R

Re: Pics from Japan (Japan)
I must say, that is one of the most integrated looking ground effect kits that I have seen. The front of the car looks very clean! Are the two ducts on the bumper functional? I'm thinking brake ducts if they are!
Do you have a bigger picture of the side profile? The one in the lower left picture?
On the exhaust issue: It just doesn't fit. The two very large openings clash with the otherwise smooth rear bumper. As someone else said, it hangs very low!
Nice car though!! :yesnod: :cheers:

Re: Pics from Japan (Japan)
Thank you for your tlanslation !! :)
Here in the States, the owners of those highly modified Civic's seem to think they are faster than real cars... they think too much.
The owners are also 16-25, young, ignorant and arrogant. They have an attitude because they think they know everything... and all they ever do is install heavy body kits and wheels on their cars. and don't forget the stereo. :rolleyes:
every so often, you might encounter a fool who is so "buy American" that everything foreign is junk... they just don't know about cool cars like the Skyline GTR VSpec! I would love to get an R33 or R34... but they are EXPENSIVE.
And don't worry about your English... it's better than a good number of the rednecks around here. :smash:

Re: Pics from Japan (bogus)
Yes, I know some young people in the States likes to do such modification on their Japanese car. That fashion is introduced here in Japan by "American Car" magazine. I sometimes see that kind of car in Japan too, but I don't like them.
Skyline GTR is popular also in Japan. It's a very smart sports car. But I love Corvette better than GTR. :lol:

Re: Pics from Japan (ShawnZR-1)
Thank you for your reply on my pics !!
I think the ducts on the bumper are functional. (that's means that the holes are not a dummy) But I don't put any cooling pipes inside my bumper. Because I have not made any modification on the brake systems yet.
About the pics of side profile, now I have only following pic in my PC.
If you want to see another view, pls give me a e-mail.
I will take a photos and send them back to you within few days. :)
