Its a fact that if you give a 34 some beans the front splitter gets destroyed in no time [exacerbated if the car is lowered] yet the number of 34s Ive seen with unmarked splitters confirms that many pootle about and just dig the fastest on 4 wheels rep that most have about GTRs.

Right I'm off to polish my medallion and then I have to pick my chest wig up from the dry cleaners

I have to say i didn't like the R32 at first either, but only because i had only seen standard ones with the crap standard wheels and they were mostly the worst colour for the R32, gunmetal grey .

My old R32 GTR was nice though.

I don't like the look of them really either. If the top spec Skyline was a 2.0 n/a 4 pot with 140bhp, would you all still say they look nice?

If you go from looks alone, they aren't anything special. The R34 looks too big at the back. The R33 is just plain looking. I think the R32 has the best proportions of the lot, but only once they are lowerd on nice wheels.
