Progress* GT4 Z33 NISMO Z Tune

I liked my Extreme Z so much that I decided to build the car that inspired it, the Z Tune Z33 from the GT4 game. Starting with the Tamiya 350Z kit I had to cut off the nose and side skirts so they could be replaced with the Scale Auto Style resin NISMO Z kit. The hood vents were cut from one of SAS's resin Skyline hoods.

You can see my progress so far...still have to clean up those resin parts then glue them on and fix all the panel lines.

Hi,

Just a remark:

in your thread "FERRARI 612 GTC" you wrote "...Will post a progress link later..." -

Veyron - the world is waitung for this thread ;-))

Hey Micha, I think you may have missed the boat, here is the link (http://public.fotki.com/CADguy/my_model_cars/in_progress_projects/project_nunya/) to the progress thread of that beautiful model. :)
Edit: I don't think he did make a thread. But that is the link where the progress was hiding out on.

Yes, same scheme.

those vents look really good so far

Shweeeeeet Venabitch! I definately want to see this Sunday!

This is going to be another great build :)

Amazing, what kind of ideas you´re having. Though I´m not into those rice-racers, I got to tell how much I like your creativity in finding nice and unusual subjects. Needless to say that this will be another stunner!

Finally a lil update...got the main colour on which is Nissan Liquid Aluminum from Cobra Colors. Next I'll Spray on the Tamiya TS Gunmetal on the ground effects parts.:)

:eek2: He's building a model! Looks great Brian, will we see this one finished? It would go great against your other Z's.

Got Gunmetal sprayed on and SMS cf decal conformed to the hood vents.

looks great and Happy 4th

Who's building it for you?

Who's building it for you?

I was going to ask the same thing.

The CF vents are really cool Brian. You should give the person building it a pat on the back.

Are you two suppose to be moderators or irritators?

Do you feel irritated or moderated? :D

Oh, and that's a pretty cool Z shaping up there.

Nice to see this project contiued, looks very good:grinyes: I love this car in the game:iceslolan

wow...that's one nice kit it's turning out to be :D

Wonderful work as usual!

Veyron, that is awesome!
I just pulled out my GT4 game a few days ago, it helps with inspiration. I think the manufacturer's all missed the boat here. This car, and all of the others would be a great tie in with this video game.
It's great to see some cool cars being built from this game.
Look forward to your finished car. Keep it up!
Chris

Thanks!

I thought about that long ago....if the model companies had teamed up with Playstation it might have been a boost for the model industry. Historically model companies have not crossmarketed all that much.:rolleyes:

very impressive work!!.. no doubts.. this is the best Zeto!!

very,very cool!nice work

Looking really good:bigthumb:

Beautiful progress of a spectacular car. I had this build in plans for the near future, glad to see someone do it. Seems like its going to be a terrific build, keep us posted. Also nice idea on the vents.

In the final assembly stages now, everything is painted and trimmed...decals are being applied.

Damn Veyron!! What a beautyful Zeto.. final look it's awesome!!.. amazing job!... i thought you had gave up.. cause i haven't seen to much progress for a while.. and now this..

It's a pleasure follow all this progress..

Your message "There is a lesson in every kit." .. this apply for who build and for who follow all progress.. specially those like this.. Amazing job!!!

:)

Modifications are great
But silver is not good-looking
Orange or yellow were better
But it is nismo version-silver must be :disappoin
