In progress NISMO R32-Drifter

[Bangai-o]

The C wheels are definately the best. How about red wheels with red bonnet, roof and boot? I think that'd look cool. Probably a silver spoiler with that I think the a red spoiler would blend in too much with a red boot.

Also 4WD cars can drift!!!It's not a previlege of rear wheel drive cars!!!

It's possible in all cars to let the forces of nature take a hold of the car but drifting an AWD is too hard. Some cars have the ability to disable the front wheels but that doesn't qualify as AWD drifting. The best drifters don't use AWD and there's no AWD in D1 Championships. That leads one to believe that it is a previlege of RWD.

C on the front, b on the rear.

I have to agree with you that drifting a 4WD car is more difficult however drift=controlled slide so every car can drift if you have the skil!!!
Also I have to agree about D1 and thats because best drifters are RWD cars...They offer better control and look much better drifting.But we shouldn't forget that WRC cars(all of them are $WD)drift in many cases...specially in muddy tracks!!!!


Now on the sybject I don't really know what I should do with the wheels....I'll use the C wheels but they should be flat black or Chrome lip/gold mesh????

[MythosGR]

Bad things happens...

I used Gunze compuned on my R32 but I hadn't clearcoated the window trim.So black with silver paint mixed and I had a real mes instead of the great silver paintjob!

However this gave me the opputinity to sand the mold lines out and to choose a new color(since I had no Silver leaf left!).Black was the first choice,a color that looks very good on Skylines and it would create a perfect model matched with the gold mesh/chrome lip rims!!!Then I thought of Chrome Yellow a very nice color unique for a Skyline and a good match for the drifter theme...But the last moment I chaged my mind and sprayed this awesome COSMO paint which is something between Blitz CRX's Cooper and the new Nissan 350Z color(I don't rember the exact name!).
I like a lot how it looks and the gloss of the paintjob is amazing...I hope you can see it.I shoot the photos with almost no sun light but the model kept looking like the paint was wet!The color is very unique(I haven't seen another one) and looks great in person...The bad thing is that the old rims now don't look so good(the car screams for TE37 or Nismo alloys but noway to get them...).What you think about the new paint?








While the finish was perfect and the the paint look so gloss I had a small problem on the roof.It look likes it was going to creat some small rinkles there but I don't know what to do?Should I shoot another coat of paint and then compound?Or should I use the compound now and then clear coat???

Color looks awesome. I still like the wheels in A

I agree with all of that. Looks great.

[joecwlaw]

I think polish lightly with compound should fix it. If put one more clear coat, the paint may look too thick, and does not look accurate. just my one cent.


hey also about the rims, I think AVS5/BBSLM/OZ tourismo should look cool.

[jgmodelcars]

for wheels go with C, just paint them either gloss black or silver, cuz you don't want to distract from that original color! i like the color a lot! looks very nice and different! just use some rubbing compound and you should be A.O.K.

Hello Mythos!

Afou ftiaxneis DRIFT Machine mia einai h lysh RS Watanabe!

Den to syzhtw...

[hypertek]

problem I see with rims C is that the offset will not have a drift look....

[youngdrifter_x]

whaT?
I think anything with an offset makes a 'drift car' look good.

[SUSVR4]

id go black bbs lace on the front an the dodgy 5 spokes on the rear for that drift look

[MythosGR]

Well the car is almost finished...(LoL changed color again!!!)and looks nice but still I haven't found the perfect wheels...
I'll post some pics after I finish the 200SX...

Thanks for the good comments...
