LOL. Great work Steve. Can't wait to see more, and you've barely touched the interior.

This is just a draft layout (pre-painting etc) of the Turbos and Air Filters, but thing can change as time goes on.
Thanks

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

The one thing that really jumps to my eyes is the strut bar. I really, really like it. Yes, everything else is just perfect, but we could not expect anything else from this master, Mr. Steve .

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

Man, I think I've actually come up with something better than the "real car" comment.

Steve could build a 1:12 WORKING engine I bet.

Don't forget to set aside some time in between modelling to clean off some shelves.....you're going to need the space to put all the trophies your going to win with this beast.

Sorry, donīt take this as a critic. Your job is more than great-as always, but that turbo layout would cause some overheating problems since the turbine housing/exh. elbow of turbo1 is much too close to the compressor housing of no. 2.
I think it would be better to place the 2nd turbo behing no. 1 just like standard layout or place them in a little angle like it is done on big twin setup.
You will find some good pictures on the gtr register. Iīve never seen a setup with 2 turbos almost next to each other.
