Hey, it's not about what we think, you're the builder! Do what you feel is right for your model. :) You're the one that lives with the end result.:)

well, heres a short update, ive put away the GTSR for now, i only do one at a time :)

the engine on the R32 has received light pink spark plug leads(my first wiring job ever on an engine, a candy red rollcage(done)
the interior is boring, standard interior(aside from rollcage) black interior with grey centred seats(like standard)
the car is receiving a diffuser, and a tamiya R34 Z tune exhaust and intercooler.
ill post pics up later...
bye

well, here is another update for the 32, and a pic of my taillight job on the R31.:sunglasse http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l277/The_St_jimmy/skyline005.jpgim http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l277/The_St_jimmy/skyline006.jpgsorry about the blurryness, but my camera sux at close up pics :(http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l277/The_St_jimmy/skyline002.jpg
the 32 received its final coat of paint today, im pretty happy with it, the engine looks great with pink spark plug leads, im in the process of planning out a surge tank, oil cooler and possibly wiring up some nitrous oxide, although this is ment to be a drift car(YES, it has been converted to RWD, using a JGTC calsonic R34 gearbox) and removal of the front diff.
my next prject will be here on wednesday, a Tamiya S13, with a body kit based of an origin rear bumper and skirts, with an extended front bar(im not confident with styrene yet)and a 2JZ-GTE motor(lol weird ay?):screwy:
the car will either be pink or lime green with a black bonnet and roof.it will have R32 rims and when it gets here ill start a thread.
but if you like pink or green better your more than welcome to tell me now, id really aprecciate it....(if you live in AUS you may have seen the ADD drift team?thats the look i want :) )http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l277/The_St_jimmy/skyline003.jpg
anyways, thanks for looking...
