Cor blimey! Do I have to take your hand and drag you there!:rolleyes:

Get your yellow pages out and look for Automotive paint suppliers! once you know where you are going I can give you the paint code!:D

I really can't help you beyond that, you have to find them yourself!
The Nissan dealer may be able to tell you who they use! Worth a try!

Damn, I didn't think you'd be that quick!:D

Well, it's 23:41 here so I can't go into the garage, but I will get it tomorrow
Don't let me foget!
The real R34 is in Bayside blue! See if they do that when you go too, as I would choose that given the choice! (And hindsight!)

Hey dan, how about that code now:D

I thought they were pants actually! Had to release the song twice here because nobody bought it first time round!:rolleyes:

Lol :D:D

Different cultures I guess, they've got quite a few hits here

Not far away from finishing mine now. Just the wing to get on and the mirrors and its all done !!!!

Get some pics up when its all finished :D :D

I just need to spray the rear wing aerofoil in gunmetal, heat stain the exhaust and fit the interior! Hope to find the time this afternoon!
Then it's another one added to the cabinet! WooooooHooooo!:D

I can't believe how well my window rubbers turned out!
Used Tamiya X18 through the air brush having sealed the whole car with Tamiya tape.
First coat was light, sealing the tape, then 2 coats to get the required texture, and it is perfect! Not the slightest run or imperfection!
Shall be using this approach in future for sure!
I used to use automotive semi gloss black!

The exhaust also looks great, sprayed using my chrome silver. Looks just like stainless through out, and once heat stained should be spot on!

Well its all finished and it looks awesome. This is one great kit by Tamiya.
I'll get some pics up later when i can get the dig-camera.

Damn, you beat me to it...Again!!!:mad:

There's a bunch of HK sellers right now, and I've avoided them because of the shipping costs. But, on the other hand, their prices are super-low. Let me know how your transaction goes, please.:uhoh: Jay, i finally got my R34 yesterday. it arrived a ton quicker than i though it would too. looks great but i have to wait for my paints to arrive.

A couple of things to look out for!

They omitted telling you to paint the light section on top of the bumper! Contact me for more details when you have sprayed the body!
The rear undertray is a strange fit and needs glueing well, using something like Krystal Klear ONLY!!!
The rear indicators are easy to over paint, giving an all red look when you want an orange centre section!

Finally! DAMN I LOVE THIS KIT!!! I just can't describe how good it looks!
Can't wait to see yours!!!

The total cost was 31 bucks, so it would have been about the same to order one from the hobby store. they billpay thing charged me 5 bucks to even use it, rip off jerks!
