2 fast 2 furious skyline

I've had this started for a while now and just thought id post a few things for it. I'm doing some interior mods and thats about it. Exterior is painted with silver metallic. Custom built exhaust. SAS C-west transkit used..(thanks to chris for the kit) Sky is still awaiting the blue stripes and i need to find decals for it.

These are all the pics i have so far. Used my new scanner. The interior is still being painted. If anyone wants some digicam pics..let me know.

Looks good man. I love that car. Can't wait for more pics.

looks good, more pics please

When i saw this i thought it was a real 2fast 2furious model kit of that car. I love it as much as the movie sucked the car deffinetly ruled. Can we see some rim pics? and some of the interior? Are you gona put in that useless 4pt bar?

Good idea, great project...

I will see more pics of the progress.
:grinno:

cool!!! i likw the paint job. very sparkly

I feel that the paint is too metallic for it

WOW! Looks really nice and clean, whut paint did u use for the paint job?

Can't wait to see more progress.:bigthumb:

Looks promising, although I think the paintjob has a bit too big sparks in it... or that might just be the scanner playing tricks...

And am I mistaken , or is the underside left unpainted?

Olivier

I think it looks alright, I would think that the scanner hitting the flakes does that. Looking at pics of the 1:1 I cannot see the flakes.

i'm looking forward on the progress of this one. :eek7:

ya i went down to Universal Studios Hollywood (i go there like everyday) and i went to the fast and furious car revealing 2 years ago i believe and one day i was gunna grab something to eat and they were having to 2 Fast 2 Furious car revealing so i whipped out my trust digital camera and took picturesa with all the cars heres the one with the Skyline which is a great car and i met all the stunt-doubles and paul walker himself.AND YES THAT IS ME AT THE BOTTOM

P.S. hope this helps as reference

im not sure about the scanner thing...and i do think the paint is too metallic. I had the right paint, but i cant get anymore of it cause they stopped making it. The color i wanted to use was Krylon Silver Metallic. And this is Silver Metallic...hopefully my gloss coat will dull it a little. The rims aren't the ones on the car..cause i cant find any that even come close. So I used the stock 6 spoke rims, and changed around the brakes. I just masked the interior for the different colors. And for the 4pt bar..im not sure...im guessing it only connects to the rear deck and to the floor...maybe just for the realism touch ill do it.
So...im thinking it looks like this...right?

Thanks for all the comments so far on a fun build for me. I'll get some pics of the interior up as soon as parts are dry.

Like the car, cant wait to see more pics during progress. ONe thing though, I think the exhaust is a little long, only an opinion though. Keep up the good work! :bigthumb:

Kewl idea for a project. I love this car. Pity it only had a short role in the movie.

i love it, why not airbrush blue laquer onto the body instead of decals as i did, that would look sooooo much better, i love the tripple nitrous tanks

i meant the tuner decals....i have the blue for the stripes in spray can...no fade effect though. and the exhaust has to be a bit long to get past the transkit..plus it sticks out a little in the movie. I hope my interio comes out the way i want it to. I had to ..break..the seat just to mask it right...but i guess, sacrifice for quality. And the chassis was left unpainted because i think the grey goes with the silver body. I'll get some more pics up today of the chassis and body and wait to spray the interior.

I feel that the paint is too metallic for it

Agree, metal flakes are too big. For the rest, cool car.

Hey if you want it to be like the movie car do the 4pt blue bar. But that thing was just as useful as if it were a full 14pt cage made from PVC piping. since it bolted to the floor and rested on the rear decklid.

Sounds like you have your work cut out for you, but why no fade effect? That fade was so sweet!!

What do you mean ''fade effect'' the stripes were only on the front bumper from the bottom up to the hood and at the back of the hood they ended.

2 Fast 2 Furious


:spit: :lol: :rofl: :lol: :spit:

I hate that movie, only good things were when the Mustang got totalled and the Challenger scares the black guy, also the Camaro.

They went from dark to light or something like that in the movie. And as it went, it got lighter and then started to get thinner. I don't know. Maybe I'm just being dumb, but I could have swore it was something like that.


I loved 2 Fast 2 Furious. That movie was awesome and I'm going to buy it as soon as it comes out, or maybe I'll wait for the special edition. It was way better than the first movie.

i think we have covered this before but there is no "fade" in the blue paint, its a pearl and at some angles looks lighter, and solid from other angles. just use a smooth blue but no need to paint, if you want to dull all your paints give them a coat of satin clear

Yeah, Kind of figured that out by myself.

Want More Pics!

can wait to see this done :biggrin:

besides pcmodeler..does anyone else make tuner decals?..For those of you watching this topic with interest....i got most of interior done and the blue stripe. I will get pics up hopefully tomorrow...it rained here for a while and i couldnt get decent pics before work. THanks for the interest in thes build.

You still went to see it did'nt you? Along with everyone else who said they hate 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Im one of them :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You got to see it so you can see the parts that are funny because they are so fake and the parts you can criticise, like the stunt driver who is visible when the Charger hits the truck in the original, you can clearly see the yellow helmet when it's flipping on the DVD. I actually saw it because I wanted to see the mustang get run over by a truck.

Besides, there isn't many car movies being made lately to choose from.

this is just a few interior pics to hold everyone over....its just sitting together, still waiting for seatbelts to dry.
Custom things done are:
Of course the NOS
In-dash Screen
In-dash gauges(not installed in pics)
Roll cage
Cd/dvd player with screen

Thats it for now...working on the blue side stripes.
Sorry for the blurry pics on some.

WOW!!! That looks just awesome. It looks almost like the real thing. Keep us post as you do more. :grinyes:

Wow.. damn cool... Can't wait to see it completed! How bout adding blue lights inside and underneath it? How do you plan on doing the stripes at the side of the car?

Wow, looks very nice!! Love it! :biggrin:

Wow, that looks great. Pretty close to looking like the real deal! Great Job!
Chris

a question since you made those gas cylinders the NOS

I believe the car din't have NOS tanks it had NX nitrous express tanks.. same shit since NOS owns NX, Sniper, etc... And what else do you have to stripe? it only had the 2 blue stripes on the hood and a blue aftermarket wing on the back. And you might not no it, but you messed the roll bar up, it didnt have the midle brace and it was blue not silver... other than that it looks good, now you have to do the side decals on the car. (yes i saw this movie, about 4 times).

Sometimes man, I think your too much of a prefectionist. It doesn't have to be exactly like the movie car. There can be a few things different.

Hey dude nice project :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan !!!!!!

I don't want to be like 454ss and i am not a perfectionist but 454ss was right about the nitrous tanks cause they were purple.

Anyways nice project and keep up the good work!!!!!

wonderfull! you are crazy! :screwy:

looking good, im liking it, looks a lot like the real thing

Wait, don't hate! I'm just pointing out facts and making suggestions... he doesn't have to listen to me, hey he can drop 10 blue nos, 5purple zex, and 5 silver NX tanks and would i care, no? I'd just think thats a shitload of nitrous.

:uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: sorry 454ss!!!!

I didny mean to hate you or something!!!!

great are you gonna put the APC sticker on!?!1!?1111
i cant wait to see the APC sticker!!11!1

































:headshake :headshake :newburn:

sorry to say..but just to prove a point....they were actually silver...the ends were purple.

The only reason for the middle bar was for the seatbelts..cause i think it looks kinda cool. Everything else is pretty close to the movie car from reference pics I have. I've only seen the movie once.

For others wondering what references i used go here:

http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=354088
and the pic posted some posts back. If ou really want perfectionism, do your own kit. Oh..BTW..does anyone know of a company that makes 1/16" wide masking tape? I need it to mask the sides off for the blue. Any info would be extremely helpful.

I also had planned to do this car as well as the original before it was remade for the movie. From what I see, you have done a stand-up job, especially with the nitrous application. The rollcage certainly is correct and it was painted silver, perhaps more dull, but silver nonetheless. However, the dash, door panels, as well as the carpeting was black, or perhaps a dark, dark shade of grey. I have fabricated wheels very, very close to the HRE 446 wheels used on the actual car. I also have a perhaps more suitable seat strapped with Studio 27 harnesses, floor mats, a wing nearly exact to the C-West CF wing used. I also fabbed the intercooler with the NX chiller system. As far as the decals go, you might want to wait since Fly is doing them. You might hit him up for a set of slotted brakes to simulate the StopTech system used as well. PM me if I can help you out with it, I have plenty of parts.

Found a litle somethin, might help out :naughty:

nice work homie...

the blue paint is a pearl from house of kolor, i can try and find out which one, that is why it looks like its fading but in reality it all depensds which angle you look at it to where the fade is. so a solid colour is actualy correct :sunglasse
