4dr GTS-T Skyline Progress

this is one out of 11 cars i got for x-mas :iceslolan

sorry i didnt start the progress sooner, i had been busy werkin on it, dont ask about the paint, my dumb self was painting in the super cold garage and was rushing the paint a lil bit so i wrinkled some, so i might strip it and start that over, but so far i have finished the interior and i just need to finish lowering the front...

sorry bout the picture quality, its 3am just about :banghead:

OOOo niiice!!
i wish i had a digi camera =(

you can have mine lol its crappy, pictures look too pixely and it doesnt have a resolution setting

lol, id take any!!, to me that digi camera is good.
if i did have a digi camera, i could post up progress of Kyoko's FD RX-7 from initial D. Its still being sent over, but should be here sooon.

Looks nice & clean, great choice of rims!! I think it would be a good idea of re-painting it.

those are the rims that came with it, i took these pics on the same day i painted it, i just waited till it was dry to the touch, so after a week, ima try to sand it smooth, but if it dont work then its back to the drawing board, does brake fluid strip duplicolor by the way?

Looks great! I used those wheels on my grocery getter accord, and yes I've used brake cleaner to strip duplicolor.

Is it your camera or do you have loads of orange peel on the car?

Nice colour choice but has alot of orange peel in it from the cold painting.

lil bud man, what brand of brake cleaner did you use? or does it not matter?

very nice, i like the four door variants of the skyline, family car coolness.

looks like 18" exxel ennio rims, they look fantastic, i cant wait to see this model completed

Nice start. :) One thing though, are the side skirts on the wrong way? Nice ride height. It's not actually that low from out of the box is it?

Wow, put that thing in some Brake Fluid DOT3 fast! :lol: Those Advan Model 5's came with that kit???Man Aoshima wheels kick ass! Those Advan's look 1 million times better than Fujimi's.

I used auto-zone DOT 4, DOT 3 works fine, but thats just what I had lying around from my last brake job. Just let it soak for about 45min-1 hour and use a old tooth brush to scrub it with, and the paint will fall right off. I believe there is a detailed step by step in the "how to" section so check it out before you start.

Flip those side skirts after you strip it. Looks like it'll be a cool project. :D

It seems to me that the "BLITZ" decal will be too far forward to be seen; up under the cowl of the hood... :dunno:

Make sure you use automotive primer; it looks more like paint crazing than just orange peel. If the brake fluid doesn't work, try 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol. :)

ive always wanted to do a 4 door R32
wat colour did u paint it?

Don't use brake cleaner, use brake fluid, around Dot 3, or 4. Brake cleaner will probably melt the plastic. Pretty sure its all in the FAQ.

Oh, sorry didn't realize I said "cleaner", please don't use brake cleaner,bad things will happen :lol:

lol i meant to say brake fluid sorry, yea i just realized the side skirts were on the wrong way which sucks, i might just leave it, and yes i did lower this car, and i have painted with this primer before, its duplicolor plastic primer, and this is the first time its done this...

oh, i painted it duplicolor autumn maple

The paint didn't look bad, 800-2000 grit probally would have cured it.

yea thats what i usually do when that happens and it comes out glass smooth, but it just takes longer, the whole car isnt like that, just that spot and like and spot on the hood, but i decided to turn the side skirts around so im stripping and repainting it :)

Go man; GO!!

The pics don't work for me. It sounds cool tho

I don't see any photos at all.
