[anodize7]

haha.... knew u going to build this.....will be keeping an eye on this.... going to build this kit too....

[ImolaEK]

Awesome another Skyline, i love the Calsonic Skyline too. This should go along very easily for you since you did an amazing job on your Xanavi Skyline. You sure are the Queen of Skylines...but the question is, who is the King?

really nice one! I have to build the calsonic r-34 model that goes before of that, the one with white rims, but 2003 is nicer. Nice shine also and I know that you use half of a can to achieve this! I usually have to use too much paint It cannot be apreciated on the models but... in my pocket does!

Very nice buildup on this and your other cars. Looking forward to the wiring demo.

Build a Skyline next!

Then have your head examined.

Nice, would like to build a slot car version of that too..... actually i will!!

yours are the greatest though....hope your wiring tutorial comes soon!!

OK, I will finish this one first, then check the head.

I'm working on the wiring now. I'll post the pics up with write up after I finish it with all the pics ready.

I think in 2004, you'll always see this word "Skyline" in the thread title which start by me. These are the skylines I'm currently working on:

1997 Calsonic R33
Autech R32 4 doors
R33 GTS25t type M
nismo R34 25GT-t 4 doors

I'm crazy!

Can't wait to see that 4 Door. Is the 4 door a fujimi kit? I've been wanting to get a 4 door.

Wiring:

This is the wire I use. The one with many fine wires twisted together inside.


Stripe out the insulator and leave ~1cm to mimic the conduit like in the picture. Spread them apart.


For the thick wire with the connector, use the bigger wire(This is not the same type of wire as above. It's a single big diameter wire.). Stripe and leave just alittle as shown.


Put some putty at the end (on that small piece of insulator) and sand it until it "looks" like a connetor. This one I made is horrible.


Prime the wire and paint them to whatever color you like. I painted flat black. Bend them to whatever you want them to go.


Use CA and glue the conduit on the chasis because that's the biggest piece to put glue and it can hold everything together. Also glue the connector to the center concole.


Paint the detailing and done. Finish


Comments are welcome. I want to improve it so it can be more detail.
Thanks for reading.
