Skyline R34 (Not again!), but with engine.

This is the First time I'm doing engine detail. What do you think? Any parts need to improve? What should I add more to it?

I'm working on the water reservoir(the one locate in the front left). Any suggestions of how to make it fast?


:cry: Can't do any body work. It's freezing here in NE US. Not 'til late march.

Hey, where di you get the engine ?

I have the same wheather problem as you, I as well have to wait until late March to start spray painting.

It sucks ! :mad:

That's awesome!!! It looks perfect to me!!!:eek: :eek:

Dude, I'm in montreal and it's even colder up here. I paint in my garage (without a car in it, of course) and when I'm done, I open the door a crack to get the fumes out. No problems so far.

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: THATS INSANE. I love it.

same here

Very sexy. Did you hijack the engine from the R32? Just a tip, your strut bar looks a bit thick...but maybe its just me...:bloated:

That's fantastic!!! I've gotta do that one day. I agree that the strut bar looks out of scale though.

that thing got a hemi?

Its not just you ...its me 2:bloated:

yeah pretty much done. Water reservoir and brake master cylinder (back left in your pic) still needed.

Thanks everyone.

Strut bar too big! No problem. I can make another one. I didn't glue it on b/c I think it's too big 2. Should I make the stock one or NISMO or other?

Brake master cylinder, Is it the one with the yellow cap?

damnit, it is the thing with the yellow thing on it

OK, not a big problem. The R32 kit got that.

once those two have been done it will look good.

BTW the last reference pic you poseted is an RB20DE(GTS) not the RB26DETT (GT-R). But I guess you knew that already.

and yes the Brake master cyliner is the black round thing with the clear pastic resivour with the yellow cap. With out it your model will never stop:frog:

sorry for the double post.

here is a good reference pic for a "fairly"stock standard R34 GT-R VSpec II engine

THAT is awesome. can`t wait for the finished one

Very nice looking work.
The strut bar has to be smaller though :)

What on earth happened to my post???

What do you mean? Did it disappear? Good model work so far, CPH.

Pretty nice, car and engine. Really like the paint job? Whut kind is it?:flash:

Yes it did. I posted a link there to a Porsche model as a source for ideas for making fluid reservours. I'm very confused. If anyone removed it, please say so! :confused:
