I see yet another excellent Skyline from you!

Thank you, Gentlemen. It maybe rare to see a female in a model forum but I know there are many female modelers out there. Maybe I'm just the one that hang around here more, maybe build alittle ?more?

Yes, there is a oil cooler on top of the intercooler in that photo(the lower left one). That's the engine from the 2002/early 2003 GT-R machine. The pipes runs differently from the late version one because they flipped the intercooler frontside back. You can see the difference from the Calsonic and the lower right photo.

Nicely done so far, may I ask which engine kit that you use to modify into VQ?

If I'm not wrong, that pict below Calsonic is a Pitwork Motul. Because Xanavi had the same layout of Calsonic. Correct me if I'm wrong... (my HyperRev GT-R magazine, GT-R magazine and 10years of JGTC did tell me that is true) ^_^"

Hope to see more update pict soon.
Keep up the good work there.

I wish there are more lady builder in SG too. T_T"

The JGTC 2004 GT500 car have low suspension spec and super lightwight & balancing design for they car .
example the 2004 Project/u GT300 Battle car :


The concerpt is to put the engine closer to the driver Position to resuce unexpected gravity force and gain more stablebility when enter or escape the turning conner.....

Ok, maybe not in AF but there's gotta be some. Maybe they just read and not post in here 'cause you guys scare them out.

Back to the VQ. I make the VQ engine from putty, just like the one in my Loctite.

Im no Nissan, muchless a JGTC Expert. But, wouldn't it have been easier to just use the Tamiya TT 300zx motor?

Like I said, Im hardly a nissan expert. They're both a v6, so I dont see the difference.

[nis.k.a.]

VG30DE and TT versions were used in the 300ZX and many others. The VQ30DE was used in (more popularly known) the Maxima.

The VQ is an all aluminum engine (block and head). The VG has an aluminum head and iron block.....and yes the designs are different as well.

Got some CF decals done on the interior parts.



Sorry for the bad pic. I'll take another shot when I got some more details and markings on these parts.
