~Progress~ Tamiya 350z

Feint Motion · #1 03-01-2006, 11:05 PM

This is going to be a pretty quick project. I really hate the detail on the bottom of the chassis. Very hard to paint. So this 350z get the flat black treatment. The paint is sherwin williams Ebony Black, with Green pearl. The wheels I forget. I just slaped a Rays decal on since they looks like them in a way. The car still needs to be cleared one more time. The seats are Sparco racing seats.
I guess this is a twin of my silvia.

After this, no more black cars.

Nice Start, It Looks Like Your Starting A Drift Team In Scale!
Looking Forward To This Build As Much As I Did The S15!!

I like the look so far the only suggestion I have is to sand down the wheel centers and make them 5 lug or center lock ( single lug ).

Yep, no 4-Lug Z out there. Looks great so far though, aren't those wheels from a WRC kit?

Looks like a good start, those white wheels go nice with the black body.

I plan on getting some Aoshima Te37's to replace the four lug. These are Temperarory wheels.

Nice start.. The rims looks great!!!

Feint Motion · #8 03-04-2006, 07:28 PM

updates.
I picked some new wheels, I like these better. These wheels are Nismo R34 wheels, with a lip. They need to be painted, Im going to paint them Gold. 8)
The 350z has been cleared again, Im now buffing it out still. Now you can kinda see the pearl Green I was talkn about.

I hope to add more details real soon. I plan on adding a roll cage.

The second pair of rims are sick... They look so good on that car. I can't wait to see more.

i think the dish is wayyyyy to big in the front. the wheels are soposed to be stagared, not the same.

I disagree. The wheels arent even mounted yet, mabe thats why.

im not talking about how far in the wheel will sit in the wheel well, im talking about how big the lip is on the front wheel.

I like the new wheels, but I agree with astroride44 the lip on the front wheels are too deep. I would either make the front lip shallower or the rear lip deeper. Don't mind me just a suggestion. enjoying the build so far, looking forward to more progress.

Looks good so far, nice colour, I´m looking forward to see some outdoor pics.

Wheels look good, maybe the fronts are a little bit too deep
