How are you gonna make the tuner stickers? I would really like to know.

Nice man... I love that car, seen it in Super Street like 3 times and its soo awesome to see someone makin a model of it... looks great so far!

I still gotta resolve finding the purple paint used on the original car. Tamiya only makes a very very light purple color.

I am planning on buying another R34 and building it to be the updated Signal Auto Skyline GT-R R34 Street Version.

As for the decals, I'm pretty certain that for a hefty price you can buy a blank decal sheet that you can use a standard printer with and make decals. It's a ways down the line so I'm not worrying about it right now.

Well, the weekend has come and gone and I didn't get much work done. I spent most of the time modelling just getting familiar with the kit again and what I'm doing. :shrugs shoulders:

Unfortunately for you guys, I do not have a digital camera anymore. So all of my updates will be pictureless, but knowing you guys that won't do. So... I am currently in the hunt for some one who will let me borrow a digicam and take pictures. I'll keep you guys up to date as well as I can until then, tho...

There are at least 2 Purple Signal Skylines; the chameleon one is the race/street version. The Midnight Purple one is the personal car of the president of Signal.

I always taught it was the same car because the paint looked similar and the rims were the same so i figured it was the same car,i should build one too

There are as many of them as people want to buy. You can buy the conversion from the V-Spec II R34 Skyline for approx. $90,000. So if you feel like paying for it, you can have one too. (If you're in the States, I'll do a lil math for you.)

1) 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V-Spec II (it has to be in Japan or sent back to Japan for Signal to work on it, and then shipped over the US and made US compliant)................................ $100,000

2) Signal Auto Street Version conversion................ $90,000

Total bill.............................................. .........$190,000 and change.

All the same, I want one.
