2 fast 2 furious skyline

[chrismcgee]

well here in the uk serveral of the uk tuning magazines have been given access to the cars for photo shoots, and i have seen shots from all angles and there is not fade what soever,not even a hint, with regards to the apc logo, the pics i have seen looks like A1C with a plannet loop on it, the cars were put together by craig liberman, i dont think you will find anything on those cars that isnt meant to be, all the paints came from house of color, and if you go to the web site then it even lists the individual colours used

I swear it looks like a fade....






chrismcgee, which mags were they featured in? I'd love to get my hands of some pics of any of the cars, especially the BMW that hit the water barriers.

its in the latest issue of max power, there is even i giant poster of all the cars, www.maxpower.co.uk i think it is sold in the states as well. i have a feeling the blue is a pearl paint, as the more acute the angle the photo is taken from the lighter the colour, which would explain the "fade" but this would be inapropriate for a scale model i feel, just a nice blue over the silver for an even look, good luck with the job.

New to the Model Cars section of AF. I haven't done a model in about 4 years due to time contstraints and the military but I am out now so planning on getting back into it.

Even though Craig Liberman helped in the putting together of the cars, anyone who owns a Skyline especially if they went throught the trouble to bring it to the states, would not waste their money and put APC products on their skyline. And yes the APC logo is as you describe it. About the only thing that would be APC on that car would be that rediculous and painful to the eyes, park bench err I mean wing. I guess it would be useful to sit on it and have a smoke while waiting for class to start.

The APC logo on that skyline was money well spent for APC cuz they get advertisement time from the movie and that is the only reason it is on that car.

also i just checked out apc website for their logo, and it is their logo on the bonnet not a1c like i said, oops, but they do make lenses and stuff that could be on the car, indicators etc

Yeah, they just don't have very high quality parts, like there headlights and taillights tend to let moisture and water through to the inside. That is why ppl on here don't like the fact that they put that logo on a skyline.

i don't what shade the blue is, but the "silver" is House of Kolour Platinum Pearl, or that's what Sport Compact Car magazine said

[emufarmer]

Haven't noticed the decals? How could you miss them, they're large and obtrusive, right on the side of the hood. There's even an APC sticker in there somewhere.

that car was a disgrace as soon as craig lieberman put 1600 NOS bottles in place of the passenger seat. Now its just WORSE. you have to respect the shear power of the skyline and the fact that it can be made to insane horsepower levels WITHOUT Nitrous. putting all that nitrous and stickers on that car is a disgrace and any self respecting Nissan enthusiast should get naucious

Well, even if you could find some, It'd be kind of hard to use since you don't have an airbrush, and you're not using mine.

[chrismcgee]

according to the reviews on that cat the 3 nitrous bottles are all dummies, just to make him look like a loony, it was actualy craigs own skyline but as soon as filming stopped he striped it back and repainted it dark blue, got rid of the nos, sent it to hks and now is running about 700bhp

[farbod]

[psychrage]
