GTR Z-Tune...

Hey all. Thought I'd get this one out the way to warm up for my next project; a F430.

Wanted to use the engine from the Tamiya R32 kit and implant into this chassis....which is the first transplant I've done and a great learning experience .

Finished off rear of chassis and just got front susp left to fit in + front brakes. Body has been sprayed with TS-19 Metallic Blue and polished and has about two coats of clear on it so far. I've added the decals and metal transfer emblems and will need to apply maybe two more coats of clear. Will prob use the Humbrol laquer thingy though because I'm too worried about the TS-13 eating away at the decals.















Still need to work on the hinge system for the bonnet to show off the engine...need to find some pins and tubing. Also need to finish off engine bay; anti-sway bar and connecting engine to intercooler. I know it's a pretty stock RB26DETT compared to that used in the Z-Tune...but I wasn't sure how to connect the larger twin turbos...so I guess this is jst a mean-ass R34 with a wicked bodykit

Comments and help is very much appreciated. Thanks for looking.
