Smoothened DrifteR34-NEED ADVICE

[454SS]

for those who have smoothed panel lines and signals check this out.... I did my skyline with testors compound putty, i need to know if it looks ok? If chris checks this out id like to know what he thinks since his came out GR8! Well anyway here are some pics. shaved front signals shaved 3rd tailight This wasn't hsaved or smoothed...i was looking at some Ferrari F40's and one had 2 of the ducts like the skyline...and i noticed how it slanted from the hod and cut off at the back so i cut a piece of styrene (.030) and glued it up there and i say it looks 10x's better than the piece that comes with the kit smoothed the lines on both sides

[454SS]

So it looks ok? Well thats a load off my shoulders now onto paint...gona have to wait till the mornin to start it but its gona be colored like Toniosevens car...plasti-coatgm 7180 champagne with 3-8 coats of plast-coat auto clear-coat...but i have no decals i lost them all i have is the nismo ones for the wheels.

A drift R34 GT-R? You can't drift those...they are 4WD! People slide the GTS turbo ones because they are RWD. Looks good so far. More pics would be cool.

Not necessarily...its not AWD i cut the front driveshaft out

[subyfanatic]

Before cutting the driveshafts out I probably would've said it has a DCCD (Driver Control Center Diff) as in the new STi. This way you can lock the transfer of power to the rear and essentially drift it. It may be something like 65% to the rear and 35% to the front wheels but, it'll work and it has been done in Japan. AWD Skylines can be made to drift.

Go for it!

Nice and smooth.. don't forget to add the bent mismatched rims and broken and chipped front bumper!!

[454SS]

hey thats a good idea...about the dc something or other now i can reglue the front driveshaft in. YA! Thanks iwannadrift illl make note of the bent rims and chiped front BEFORE it hits the track it'll be nice a perty, then illl throw some ugly beatun up chrome 5spokes and chip up the front clip.

[subyfanatic]

Good idea, scratch the rims around the edges a little... some curb rash. Then make the bumpers look like they're being held in place by plastic ties.

i guess molding the bumpers on the body wasn't a good idea, huh? Well thats why i didn't put on a body kit!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ME...SO..MAD! ME...SMASH! I put the first coat of paint on in the sunlight in no wind and teh can was nice and warm and the paint went on perfectly, then when i came out it had run everywhere and got so nasty i have to soak it in a tub of paint thinner since im outta CSC, it worked good on an engine that had 5 coats of paint. Well maybe one day it'll get done but for now its on hold.

[EMAXX]

Well keep us posted untill it gets done. Looks good from the pics you showed.

[RyanGiorgio]

Thats right. I think one of Top Secrets R34 GT-R's was converted to RWD. My bad. Update us soon.

[454SS]

Well ive cleaned a god bit of the paint still too nasty to show so updates by saturday!
