I was at a model show and I bought tickets for the auction and by all ods I saw a set of rims just like the ones I need for this model. I heard the number of one of my tickets get called out and of course I just had to take hold of these. They were originally Chrome but I painted them to mtach the ones on the 1:1 scale R32. Sorry about the quality of the pics!

Cut the twin turbos off the manifold to make way for the single Bigger turbo and use a peace of break line for the Turbos air intake. Is there some how or some way I could get or make a K&N style filter?

just google garage saurus R32. and you'll come up with a lot of pics. :D

oh, and the car panels are real carbon one off parts.

R32s is my favorite Skyline GT-Rs. I prefer Mine's R32 over that Garage Saurus one only because it's Mine's.

Ha.HA. and just FYI you guys. Parts on screen look better then what you've seen.

That's the cover car on an issue of HPI that I have, really nice car!!! I saw it at this years Tokyo Autosalon. Anyway nice progress!!!!!

Actually, the wheels are BBS LMs. The car was tuned by Garage Saurus. Here's some more resources to aid with your build...

So what do you all think?

It looks like you're capturing it just fine. I think it'd be easier for us to follow this if you could improve those pics a bit. Use a tripod, better light, larger f-stop, get the white balance right, etc. Lol, sorry for being picky, but it would improve your WIP I think. And..... keep up the good work!

:iagree:


From what I can see it looks like you are doing a great job, but better pictures would be appreciated.

So what do you all think?

Awesome...but only if you put the correct wheels on:grinno:
Turbo setup looks great!

Thank you all for your input!! I will try to get better pics! Does anyone know what i could use for intercooler tubing and how to bed it without kinks???

Solder! It wont kink and it's easy to bend.

Some use plastic rod and heat to bend.

that would have to be some thick solder

go the hardware store, they have 3mm even larger diameter!
i used solder for this exhaust, which was kind of oversized:
