The GT Styled wing would've looked better. Great Job dude. Excellent street machine.

Re: R390 GT1 & STREET Ver.

What a pair! Great stuff. How many road going examples did TWR make? Couldn't have been many.
Should the spaces for the GT1 wing be on the road car?
Oh and welcome to AF

The real thing is different. it have a long tail and small spoiler. There is a resin transformation kit for that, but quite expensive

ed made a really good job, very close to the street car

Re: R390 GT1 & STREET Ver.

I'm only guessing but Nissan/TWR possibly made a short tail road verson too. They'd have needed to to homolgate the 1997 Le Mans car. In 1998 they moved to a longer tail and would have had to build the required road cars for that version.

Open to anybody who knows the truth.

Re: R390 GT1 & STREET Ver.

There are two versions of street R390 have been made. one was made in 1997 and the other in 1998. THere's slight difference between the two. what i made is version 97.

Absolutely stunning!

That's a project i might have to try and do one day. Shame Nissan didn't put this car into production.
