Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R 1969 (KPGC10) "Hakosuka"
Hello guys, This is my project of my favorite japanese classic car: the Nissan Skyline 2000 GTR (KPGC10) "The Hakosuka". Hako (ハコ) that means box in Japanese, and suka(スカ) is short for Skyline (スカイライン; Sukairain) My subject of choice is this Hakosuka, modified by a japanese tuner called RS Start One of my favorite things about this special Skyline is the use of carbon fiber in the hood. I´m not a big fan of the carbon fiber hoods on cars but for some reason in this particular car it seems appropriate to me... The Kit The Hakosuka is available in kit form from Tamiya and Fujimi, I preferred the Tamiya one because it depicts a full engine detail and the Fujimi is curbside In the box It's all you need to build a classic Hakosuka but the wheels are stock, so if you want to build it with the classic Watanabe wheels, you have to get them from Fujimi The Watanabe wheels from Fujimi have a very good mold and come with propper Advan 15" tires Last edited by Deadmau5; 02-13-2012 at 02:36 PM. |

Looking niiiice!
I´m actually on 60% progress of a Fujimi Nostalgic Racer kit, and using those "speedhunters" pics as reference. Where did you get the side fenders and front lip from? I had to make the lip myself. I´m following.

Nice. This kit builds really well...I built one when they first came out many, many years ago. The front spoiler and overfenders looks really good.

Quote:
The front lip and front side fenders are from another kit of the Skyline 2000 GTR KPGC110 (Ken & Mary) from Fujimi, it comes with a "full works" kit of fenders, wheel arches and spoilers that I´m not using to build it, so I modified them to fit the Tamiya Hakosuka in the front wheel arches, the front lip in the Fujimi kit is actually wider so I cutted in half, trimmed like 3 mm and then it fitted well. The rear wheel arches are included in the Tamiya kit in black plastic, so only the front ones needed to be replaced. Also I´m planning to use the air funnels for the carburetors from the Fujimi kit, because the Tamiya doesn´t included them in the box. I tried to make it from scratch using copper tubes widening one end of the tube, but the results where not that good , but is an option when you don´t have anything else... |

Re: Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R (KPGC10) "Hakosuka"
After a quite busy week, some advances with the Hako...
I started with the Carbon fiber hood. I decided to use SS (super small) carbon decals fron Studio 27, I think that is more scale accurate than the 1/24. Engine distributor cables and some copper tubes for the throttle linkage. Wheels color is a combination of copper and magnesium from Alclad, using some reference photos. |
