Finished: Skyline R-34 GT-R Widebody

Hi, well here are a few pics of my skyline, I run out of battery so I only was able to take 4 photos, anyway I'm gonna tell you the mods eventhough some of them cannot be seen on this pics, I'll do more. Of course the widebody, its my first time, gtwing with scratch build support, hood gtwing and mirrors of CF but due to clearcoat I had a problem with the hood as can be seen on the pics (the dot in the middle), scratchbuild using a pen muffler, scratchbuild harnesses, rollcage using one from a subaru WRC and modifying it to fit the skylyne, more...... the front grills are chrome silver painted... the steering wheel is a momo of a subaru WRC and.... I think its all, the paint job is not as good as I would like to, it has too much paint on it, I first paint it black... I had problems... after tamiya black (you can notice a grey shade on the paint, its the tamiya acrilyc black) and the sides and bumpers blue with the shade on the roof.

What do you think?? :biggrin:

I like the dual color theme. :sunglasse
Remember to post some rear shots later. GT wing looks very nice.

awesome job on that, cf looks bad ass

Awesome!! :evillol:

Nice job,very cleen. Looks super agressive!

Great job! Is that a rollcage that I see? And how did you open up the holes on the seats to allow the harness thru?

thx to all, I was looking that agresive looking, it seems that I've achieved it.

Remember to post some rear shots later As soon as I can, I hope that tomorrow if there is good weather I'll post rear pics to view the other side of the body kit and the scratchbuilt muffler.

About CF looking bad ass.... is not as bad as it seems, the hood.. as I said I had problems with it, but the rest is more or less ok, you should have in mind that its painted, its not a decal, and I've used the mesh grill of the kit to reproduce it, and its smaller than the hood, I allways make the CF and kevlar this way, sometimes it looks better than others.

well I was thinking about a Widebody R34, look like someone had the same idea before me (like the 350Z spider before it came out)

great job on that one !

I think it looks terrific! I never get tired of the new way that skylines keep reappearing here. This is is very very agressive! Great job on two toning and fading the paint. more pics please!

Nice i like the two tone paint.

That is awesome, please post more side angled pics.

that's cool, respect the widebody. Lets see many many more pics!!!

Cool looking :sunglasse:sunglasse

very very very nice man i love the widbody kit it looks so bada**

Super wide R34. That looks very good! More pics will be much better.

i like it, it turned out pretty good imo and i especially like the front, it got the aggressive looks.
more pics on the side and rear plz!

Awesome build!

I love the WBK and the paint scheme. Do you have any progress pix?

Ill be waiting for those pix of the rear :smile:

Good build. Can't wait to see more pics.

If I may, any inspiration behind this build?

The paint used was Tamiya brilliant blue?

Lets change "your" home page ok?

Your carbon fiber decals seem to be more reflective than others I have seen...or is it just me?? Anyways good job.

thx to you all! :biggrin: One secret of the front agressive looking besides the widebody kit is the fat that it has no headlight cover, it seems so, but it doesnt I decided not to put them and figure that the light body has a glass on each light instead of placing the full cover cause when I was placing it to check fitment before gluing it and I saw one without and one with.... the headlight dropped a lot the aggresive looking!! so... try it on your skylines, it give a very agressive look.

As I've said before I dont use CF decals, its painted, I paint first semigloss black acrilyc from tamiya and after this to get CF I spray through the cars grill mesh metallic grey, also acrilyc and also from tamiya, and... I clear coat it :p

The paint used was Tamiya brilliant blue?

The paint is blue, acrilyc blue from tamiya, cant remember the number, x-8 I think.

About progress pics... unfortunatly there isnt progress pics :disappoin , I wasnt sure about the final result as its my first attempt to do a body kit, so I didnt thought about being interesting the progress pics.

And the idea is from NFS underground one of the two kits that can be earned at the end of the game, is the one that has the gold easyrider skyline that appears on the menu.

Today the weather is really bad :banghead: sh..!! I'll try anyway to take the rear pics and more side pics and under pics and a lot of them!! but... dunno If them will look good, but I hope to post them soon.

Badass means good ;) He was complimenting you.

Personally I think the painted CF looks much better than decal, well the plain weave does anyway.
Decals are still the best way to do twill weave I think.

Ahhhh ok :iceslolan what a mistake :p

I also preffer painting, but sometimes is harder to do it cause the hood is far large than the mesh, I'll try to take a closeup of the CF

I like the colors!
Nice build!
