old school Skyline

Hi!

This is my first project so don't expect anything special. I'll post some pictures as soon as I'll install my webcam. So it'll prolly be tomorrow or monday. I'm gonna paint it in British Green. The primer is drying. I've started working on the engine.

And this is what I'm working on :D

EDIT: I forgot to tell U that I'll have a lil break from tuesday. I'm going on a camp to Slovakia for 12 days. So I'll be back on 19th. The primer should be dry and hard till then :D.

Cool:sunglasse Nice to see some older GTR's in here:bigthumb:

I love that kit. the car is awsome and a pleasure to build.

Awesome. Not too many of those around.

cant wait to see this done:bigthumb:

OK, after a long break (been to Slovakia on camp) I've got back to my Skyline. And first problems apeared, and they're BIG. I have to strip the body from paint :(. So what's the best way?? Sanding or something else??

Use CSC and take a lool into the FAQ.

Cool! I was going to get one of these on eBay, didn't get it though :frown:

You probably won't have access to CSC in Slovakia (or adjacent areas); try DOT3 brake fluid instead.

Nice car, I'm thinking about getting a racing version of these.

I'll see if we have CSC here in POLAND. And if not, do U know if it's availale in Germany?? I'm going there tommorow for few days.

He won't have access to that either as DOT4 is the "worst" we here in Europe get. Just use DOT4 brake fluid, as I am pretty sure CSC isn't available in Europe, at least in most of it.

old school is cool! :thumbsup:

The green will definatly go with this car! Can't wait to see pictures!

nope it isn't.sadly.please tell me if it is available in poland,i can get some from a friend there

It' not available in my town. I'll have to ask friends in bigger cities. Is sanding it a bad idea??

i've read about one of these in Super Street. it was pearly white with black wheels. And unlike the normal GTR color where the GT is chrome and the R read, it was reverse. Under the bonnet it had a Rb26DETT, took somewhere around 4 years to get it through customs, very nice car. Sanding inst a bad idea just sand out the bad parts with thick grit like 150 and finish off IN CIRCLEs sand in circles with some 1500 gritt for smoothness.

thanks for Ur advice guys. I'm going to Germany in 1,5 hour, so I'll take care of the car on monday when I'm back. See Ya.

yeah I saw that car in person at NOPI last year and this year..very nice...too bad it doesn't have the original Skyline engine in it..

Gray

That looks awesome. I never knew Skylines used to look like that. Thats one awesome body style. Keep us posted on the build.

I dunno if I will ever finish it. I pretty f**ked up painting... And I don't have too much cash. So the only way to get rid of paint is sandpaper...

DOT3 brake fluid only cost $0.93 here where I live.

wow thats old i xant wait to see some pics

wow thats old i cant wait to see some pics

I hope you guys don't think i'm bitting or anything, but I ordered a

1/24 Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC-10 (50 Wins)

a week ago off of HLJ and I'm dropping an RB26dett in it and customizing the interior and putting on some CF, all the good projects get taken... I prolly won't mod body.

these cars are my favorite. the green should look good.

Tonio where did you get that pic from. the plate on it means that an american in the armed forces owns it. i have been pricing several 1:1 kpgc10's and gc110's around here. you would not believe the price of them. i want one bad to bring back to the U.S. before i leave here in japan.

damn that's nice...

btw anyone see the news on the shutdown?

damn nice!! I love old school cars!!
