No pics. Just words. I put in a NX intercooler sprayer, the lights, license plate and mesh in the grilles. I'll get pics up later. Does anyone remember the guy who did the side decals on a similar skyline?

I got bored tonight...im still awake. Heres some pics to wet the already wet appitite. I know the mesh is a little big. Still scheming on how to do sides.

Some updates...I added SAS wing and headlight glass. I'm still waiting for rims so thats why there arent any on it in the pics. Also..i may ive up on the side decals. My masking tape I wanted was 1.80 with 7$ S&H, so i said screw that. I'll have to look around for maybe 1/8" tape.
This will prob be the last update for a while too...so..heres the pics.

Looks good... how much longer do you have till the rims come in?? its nice though, the silver looks a lot better in dimmer light...

Heres a start on the side graphics. It really sucks cutting the strips for the masking. Judge for yourself. Ithe top part is drying..I'll get pics up sometime in the next 2 days..school and work in the same day suck.
Comments welcome.

hey u kno what u can do to make the rims look more like the car. You can get a set of 19in rims that comes with the lips because they have lips that look like the same from the real car.

If i had the R34 movie car...I'd reinstall the hicas, front driveshafts, and slap lite-weight 16'' rims with low pro tires...lookin good man.

If this guy i'm talking to doesn't come through with the rims (and other things) he has..I just might have to do that. What one do you have in mind since I haven't bought many aftermarket rims.

thizishkenny

09-04-2003, 11:40 PM

I will have to look but i will take some pictures to show u how they compare to the lip of the original rims.

I plan to do this for a ser that my hobby shop wanted to put out and plans to make decals and they want me to make the cars for tftf and 2f2f.

Well...folks..I'm at a difficult time. I'm gonna try for the decals on the hood. Does anyone know what the brands are?
So far I have(on the hood):
HKS
HRE
?
Flexivity
Nopi
JBL
Modern Image
APC
sparco
and for the rear and side front:
NX
K&N
TOYO TIRES(rear)

Can anyone help me with the last one on the hood? It's the one on top of Flexivity(? in list). Could anyone help me with this problem? I'll get more pics as I go too..

mstngcobrasvt98

09-14-2003, 11:06 PM

Its finally done. the decals kinda worked. I'll try lettig it dry white for the other decals. All together, this was a fun build and I'll value it for a long time. And FOTW... I'll get some better pictures for you to use for your magazine thingy. Thanks for watching my build.

mstngcobrasvt98

10-29-2003, 09:46 PM

Well....I wish I could sell it, but i couldn't even put a price on it. If anyone really wants to know, Me myself would probably put $100 on it if I did sell it. It would be alot cheaper if you did it yourself. Just get the Nissan R-34 Kit, SAS Trans kit and wing set. This should only come up to about 60$. The paint can be choosen by you, and you'd probably like it better if you built it. Maybe down the road, I'll sell some parts to help those who want to build it. Thanks for the thought anyways, always cool when someone wants to buy my cars.

Definately very well done. Too bad there are no 1/24th scale HRE's to fit under the whell wells, but oh well, its not your fault.

blueboost

10-30-2003, 10:32 PM

simply amazing 10/10

i can appreciate someone wanting to buy that, don't sell yourself short that model is priceless $100 would be a STARTING bid for that work of art. The only way they'd get that model from me would be out of my cold dead hands.

chrismcgee

10-31-2003, 08:21 PM

i would price that model at £400+

dont sell yourself short dude
