Hi All,
Here are photos of my fantasy R34 GT-R Skyline. My idea was - what if Nissan/Nismo did a factory backed tarmac rallying campaign? I thought an obvious sponsor would be Sony, with a Gran Turismo tie in. Basic colour scheme is based on the works Nissans of the mid to late 80's.
Overall I am very happy with the build and result. I used one of the Aoshima R34 Nismo kits as the base. Stripped the interior and added a roll cage. Used the wheels from a Tamiya 307 WRC and added Crazy Modeller seatbelts. All decals were home printed, other than the white "Nissan" and windscreen strip. The door numbers and number plates are close to what the cars used in Targa Tasmania of 2008. Other than that it is pretty much out of the box - my first experience with Aoshima and quite impressed.
I have another Targa car in the works - this time a WRX. Also thinking of adding a 350Z to the Nissan "works" team. Or perhaps something a bit older, like a 240Z?
Grant.
