Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

£8200 plus extras which I specified. The car is standard I believe. apart from the exhaust, but I'm sure it kicks out more than the stadard power which is 280 BHP the same as the 350Z but it feels quite a bit quicker than the Z, maybe just the turbo's tricking me. Just purchased Twin Apexi Air Intakes today.

You're probably not being tricked. The GT-R was underrated in power for the gentlemens agreement and the Z is a little overrated in power. IF you were to strap both cars to the dyno I'm sure you would find that the GT-R has more whp/bhp than the Z.

Also, you'd be surprised what just the filters and exhaust can do to the RB26.

Lucky SOB.....

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

Hiroboy, you really are amazing. Those brakes look amazing. They look better than the brakes on my parents cars. (They only have stock brakes)
I can't wait to see what you do next. I hope that when I'm older, I'm half as good as you.

Oh, funny thing, of my friends printed out your HKS black R-34 Skyline. He was showing it to me, and he seriously thought it was a real car. I was laughing pretty hard. I showed him this site.
