Looks good, but the pic quality are bad.

It's a good idea to put a R32 engine in a S15... It's a idea for my S14 VeilSide ;). The Nsx looks great. To compress your pics, try the ACDSEE shareware, it's an easy program.

MMM that engine loks good sitting in that silvia. Nice NSX too.

That NSX is really nice...try makin the pix smaller instead of lowering quality first

You linked to a thread 4 below this one, what was the point :confused:

well the pics were updated and no one would have looked again. now I want everyone to look again cause I updated the thread with better pics. not the terrible ones from before. I tried to modify the original threads name but it wasn't happening. so I wanted to get the forums members attention again, not let them think its the same old pics as before... heres another one, the last one I have right now

thanks for all of your compliments. that means quite a lot coming from you guys. thanks also mods for changing the title and moving to the appropriate (new) sub-forum (oops)....

hey if we were on the nissanforums I would be the one tisking the newbie LOL... thanks again.. more pics soon!! :smoker2:

Love the NSX!! :D Which was it? Raybrig? (Though I think the last 3 all came with parts for the one you made...)

Would love to see more detail on the S15, too, of course!! :flash:

thanks! :)

yeah its the raybrig version...

there is some good progress made since those pics were taken of the silvia.

I will update you guys ASAP. wait till you see the scratch built hood!! :bloated:

Looks like we have a SARS in this forum, Swap A RB26DE Symptom.

Cool cars. Like those rim on the NSX. Which color is that on the NSX?

haha, yeah theres more swappin going on around here than at a swingers convention :o

its grape pearl. ;) (boyd brand I believe. I am VERY happy with this paint it is beautiful in person)

They both look good. :)

Is blueboost the first one to do the RB36deTT Silvia conversion? I hear about it alot but this is the I've seen.

:spit: Nice one!!

blueboost : Nice NSX, your S15 project is cool! Hope to see more~
Using stock rims?

Thanks again for all of your compliments. I snapped off plenty of new pics today. I have an update on the silvia for you guys with a shot of the custom hood and front facia, kinda givin you an idea how the body is coming together, also a shot of my interior guages. How do you all suggest I make the hood functional (you know..open and closable like say the revell integra) and what color do you suggest I shoot this bad boy? i was thinking dark silver gunmetalish or something. :confused:

No way! I have a couple of sets of aftermarket wheels on the way from HLJ as we speak. :D


I also will be posin a new thread with some pics of my integras and my skyline, just to keep your appetites wet. so stay tuned, I go to NOPI tomorrow where I will be sure to finish off this roll of film. :D :D

okey, keep us posted!! :D

Now, I know the shots are sucky. I bought the most expensive disposable camera they had and got them to make me a CD when I went for developing. Thats what they said would work but my closeups suck. I did snap interior and more engine pics but they were unusable

Anyways, here you can still see the customization I did to the hood plain as day. the big bulky muscular looking "shoulders" on the hood are custom molded styrene sheets attached and then puttied on each edge and smoothed together. without this the hood would look weak and IMO adds a whole new respect to the front end of the car. the car has been shot with 4 coats of testors gloss dark blue, then a finishing coat of boyd's blue pearl to deepen the finish. It looks great. Not p-man great (or any of you other masters), but its nice. of course I will be posting more pics, but they will be shots of the finished product.

the clear tubing on the engine is some of the stuff they use to attach like a die-cast car to its packaging or to like keep the doors closed they are like high-grade twist ties or something. specifically, it came off of my 1:18 scale autoArt R34 skyline packaging.

I LOVE THAT NSX!!!!!

I hope you saw the S15 on the 2nd page my friend... :wink:

LOVE THE NSX! :cool:

:spit: :lol: All joking aside those cars are sweet. The engine in the S15 is awesome, good job.
The NSX is my personal favorite though, very nice choice of shoes(rims). Not to take anything from the S15, they are both perfect...10.....10........10:bigthumb:

i like your carbon work on the s15. good job. :bigthumb: :bigthumb:

I have to agree with everyone else, both cars look fantastic! My hats off to you!

Wow....
the S15 is.....
ahh shit i cant find a droolign icon....
eheheh its worth drooling over...
and is that NSX 1/25 scale?
look a little bigger for some reason...
if yes can we have the make?
thanks
GOran

next step is to install these huge brembo's that came with a wheel set from HLJ, and I would very much like to change the seats to black or blue/black. and add some panel lines.

another pic for ya. I love that exhaust
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/858244back3corner.jpg

Why does everyone want panel lines? They don't ever look nearly as pronounced in real life as they do when you call them out with ink or paint or whatever it is you guys use. Just me, though.

I like the cf muffler.

:bigthumb:

Very pretty pair of imports. The S15 looks clean and sweet, while the NSX is as wild as it can be. I like them both a lot.

Yo is that Carbon Fiber on ur hood from SAS? Thanx

hehe you ain't gonna be getting any detonation with that huge intercooler
btw can i get a look at the interior?

Beautiful install and paint.. but.. the exhaust is a "little" to big, maybe the tip can be a little smaller/...

Nice car, I like particularly the hood.

thank you all for your compliments!!! :D :D


you really have no idea how much it means to me. I took the pics for you guys, otherwise I would have no need for them.


answer some questions...

the NSX is a tamiya raybrig NSX. (1/24)

I got my buddy to take those shots with his digital camera and its a serious pain as I gotta pack the models up and take them to work and have him bring camera etc.. I don't want to trouble him too much. we tried to get some interior shots but they werent coming out right so I didn't post them.

the exhaust looks to scale IMO, but in the pics I can see where your coming from, it looks larger in the pics, in person i promise- its just right.

:D

Lookin good, keep it up.:bigthumb:

looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!


but Chris (SAS), how come when u put ur CF on ur models they look 10X better


Blue boost applied it right i think, but it doesn't look like cf at all... JUST black and WHITE stripes



IM not trying to diss SAS, cause he makes amazing stuff, but i just don't understand how urs looks better than his...

sorry to forget your Q shorty, yes thats SAS fiber and wingset.

those close ups do make it look striped like you said integra14, i mean for a decal its amazing but its gotta be pretty hard to replicate the 3D effect of carbon fiber, SAS has done it the best IMO. and I have probably 2-3 other carbon fiber decal sheets, most of which is just a mesh pattern or square white and black blocks, chris's decal has a more intricate weave (look) to it. :iceslolan

mean b 16..your engines are the shit i wanna see more!
