Smoothened DrifteR34-NEED ADVICE

for those who have smoothed panel lines and signals check this out.... I did my skyline with testors compound putty, i need to know if it looks ok? If chris checks this out id like to know what he thinks since his came out GR8! Well anyway here are some pics. :feedback: http://www.rankmyride.com/data//4/2/2721//.large/model_005.jpg shaved front signals http://www.rankmyride.com/data//4/2/2721//.large/model_011.jpg shaved 3rd tailighthttp://www.rankmyride.com/data//4/2/2721//.large/model_007.jpg This wasn't hsaved or smoothed...i was looking at some Ferrari F40's and one had 2 of the ducts like the skyline...and i noticed how it slanted from the hod and cut off at the back so i cut a piece of styrene (.030) and glued it up there and i say it looks 10x's better than the piece that comes with the kit http://www.rankmyride.com/data//4/2/2721//.large/model_010.jpg smoothed the lines on both sides

very nice, cant wait to see some paint on it, what colour

So it looks ok? Well thats a load off my shoulders now onto paint...gona have to wait till the mornin to start it but its gona be colored like Toniosevens car...plasti-coatgm 7180 champagne with 3-8 coats of plast-coat auto clear-coat...but i have no decals :crying: i lost them all i have is the nismo ones for the wheels.

A drift R34 GT-R? You can't drift those...they are 4WD! People slide the GTS turbo ones because they are RWD. Looks good so far. More pics would be cool.

Not necessarily...its not AWD i cut the front driveshaft out :iceslolan

Before cutting the driveshafts out I probably would've said it has a DCCD (Driver Control Center Diff) as in the new STi. This way you can lock the transfer of power to the rear and essentially drift it. It may be something like 65% to the rear and 35% to the front wheels but, it'll work and it has been done in Japan. AWD Skylines can be made to drift.

Go for it! :grinyes:

Nice and smooth.. don't forget to add the bent mismatched rims and broken and chipped front bumper!!

hey thats a good idea...about the dc something or other now i can reglue the front driveshaft in. YA! Thanks iwannadrift illl make note of the bent rims and chiped front BEFORE it hits the track it'll be nice a perty, then illl throw some ugly beatun up chrome 5spokes and chip up the front clip.

Good idea, scratch the rims around the edges a little... some curb rash. Then make the bumpers look like they're being held in place by plastic ties. :grinyes:

Bigg "E"

i guess molding the bumpers on the body wasn't a good idea, huh? Well thats why i didn't put on a body kit!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ME...SO..MAD! ME...SMASH! :banghead: I put the first coat of paint on in the sunlight in no wind and teh can was nice and warm and the paint went on perfectly, then when i came out it had run everywhere and got so nasty i have to soak it in a tub of paint thinner since im outta CSC, it worked good on an engine that had 5 coats of paint. Well maybe one day it'll get done but for now its on hold.

Well keep us posted untill it gets done. Looks good from the pics you showed.

Thats right. I think one of Top Secrets R34 GT-R's was converted to RWD. My bad. Update us soon.

Well ive cleaned a god bit of the paint still too nasty to show so updates by saturday!

Can't wait to see more.

i think skylines (gtr) for the most part have a 10% front and 90% rear split, that changes with the atessa(sp?), but anyway its like saying you can't drift a lancer evolution or an imprezza

Well heres what i know, a freind of mine, he's quite rich, has an R33, i dont have a clue what year it is...its a dark burgundy with a yellow/blue interior...in his car theres a lil gauge when u let out the clutch in 1st gear and let it roll without touching the accel., the gauge needle points to the middle on the left showing all 4 wheels have power....when you mash the accelerator and gear up the needle starts to drop to the bottom showing that the rear wheels have all the power, when you enter a turn at high speed it comes back up to the middle, and when the ass slides out tooo much ( or so he said) the needle points up shwoing the front wheels only have power. I've never witnessed the needl only pointing up...but hey he owns it, i go by what he says.

Yes you can drift a GT-R but its posable to drift any car.

The GT-R is very smart!
It runs off a computer so when you take off and the rear wheels start to spin the car sences this and puts more power to the front wheels. so it will have maximum grip at all times. The same goes with cornering, the car sends the power to whatever wheel it thinks will have the most grip.

Rember the GT-R's are 4 wheel steer too! :naughty:

Hope this helps.

Exacly!

But obviously its not going to drift like some other japanese cars. :smile:

:smokin:

Wait wait wait wait wait wait, in my opinion....you can't drift FWD, becuase the rear tires need to spin to drift. And are the GT-R's all-wheel steer? Chris' R33 isn't all wheel steer, well I don't think it is.

yea its called hicas, yea anyways this has been getting a little off subject, its just gonna end up being another thread about wether or not a fwd car can drift... but imo any car can drift, you dont need to spin or lock up tires, just push them past their load, you know inertia drift....careful not to break your tofu going up the mountain......

Im 100% sure that the R32,33,34 GT-R's are all 4 wheel steer
I know my brothers R32 GTS-T is also 4 wheel steer too so maby the GTS's are also all wheel steer.

With my dads GT-R we were going to take out the 4WS because we were told it causes more problems than anyhting but in the end we didnt.

Sorry for the offtopic. :nono:

the only car i know hat has AWS stock (import) is the 3000GT VR4

I didn't know that they had 4-wheel steering. I knew that they had AWD or whatever though.
Sorry for the off-topic again 454SS :smooch:

No probs with the off topic, i know there was a 300zx not sure its it was T, TT, or 2+2 that came with 4ws, but i think there was a bracket or bar of some sort you could purchase to remove the rear wheel steering maybe chris has that on his R33 which is a great car, but its only single Turbo :frown:

Yeh Thats the R33 GTS-T so im pretty sure it is 4WS :)

:smokin:

No it came with TT, he's had a massive single one installed. I asked why, he says it spools faster when racing. But it is a GTR, i was just talking to him about it, its currently undergoing a massive paint, rim and interior job, its gona be a light metallic silver, with blue&lite grey interior, and he didn't say which rims.

the old 2.0si preludes had 4ws so did a few 240sxs and 2nd gen rx7s im pretty sure a few other cars had them too

I'm going to read about this on some Nissan site or something. I'm confused listening to you all. :lol:

You should just leave the bumper front bumper off, or make a realistic smash of plastic off a corner, 2 different wheels, duct tape rear bumper, and one front light out, and I'll give it an A+, even if it is 4WS!

Well camber as i said before its in its box and in some months or years ill pull it back out and give it a 4day csc bath and some 100,150,240,413, then 1200 grit paper to smooth it down and then throw primer on it and chuck it back in the box and wait 2 months to paint it.
