Wide arched, huge intercooler'd deep R34 one off

[chrismcgee]

Right a few have seen the start of my new Nemisis skyline, it has been evolving all the time, i was going to do a roof chop on it but after creating the side skirts i feel it would make it to disproportionate. anyway i will hopefully have all the body mods done within next week unless sumfin comes up.
what do u guys think? any suggestions?

and another

and another sorry bout the size

Every thing looks good.But I think the intercooler is going to be way too big.

[chrismcgee]

i have seen cars with intercoolers of that size, well they were running about 1100hp, but the thing i wanted to do with this car is to make it look unlike every other R34 out there, in reality its only 6mm taller than the tamia intercooler!! so thats only another 14cm more in real life, they either make em wider or taller, mine was based on the taller variety.

That is awesome looking...cant wait to see the finish (wut color is it gonna be?)

[chrismcgee]

well bright neon pink!!! only joking, well we have 2 or three options, 1:- black, 2:- blue, 3:- silver with blue and red laquer graphics and maybe some flames

what do you guys think

[chrismcgee]

i just borrowed the chassis of of my nismo skyline and test fitted it to the new body, hmmmm i may have to get hold of some bigger rims, and the ones there are 18" dtm wheels, oh dear, does anyone have any hoppin hydros 20" wheels lying round here in the uk, do they have any uk didtributers? also if anyone does have a set, can they give me an overall diameter including the tyre please, in millimeters if possible, thank you

[Blowncivic1320]

NO FLAMES OR GRAPHICS!!!!!
Go for 1 nice color...PLEASE

[Suislide]

looks like you're trying to replicate the front end of the Veilside top-speed R34, the one with 1100hp. i agree with Blowncivic that the car should be one color and one color alone with no graphics or flames or any stuff like that. i liked your 350Z, but i felt the only thing that brought it down was the graphics. i don't like the idea of massive 20" wheels on a go-fast car either, as that seems to defeat the purpose...but it IS just a model.

looks pretty god to me

[Zwaag]

That is going to be one sweet Skyline.

BTW, do you have a older brother named shawn( don't know how he spelt it)

[Layla's Keeper]

I see no need for larger wheels on this car. The wheels you have on the test chassis fit the purposeful aesthetic and fill the wheelwells nicely. You've done too much work and made the car too attractive to rice it up at this stage.

Overall i think it looks pretty good, i like it! The one thing i would suggest is perhaps smooth over the lower part of the front bumper.

[chrismcgee]

hi chris,my latest photos i will try and post in a bit show i have already filled in that part, suppose great minds think alike, lol. bit more work has gone into the front bumper, mainly with my dremel, thats why i ldet the filling till last. gotta keep sanding the whole thing till its as smooth as glass with 2000 grit wet n dry. bumper and kit was inspired by both the veilside kit and the top secret stuff but mainly a cartoon pic of a skyline that i saw in max power once, it had a huge gap whrere the intercooler is, i liked the proportions a lot and wondered if it could be done, thats why its so deep. i am starting to agree with everyone about both the paint and the wheels as i am loving the model more, i am considering a jet black gloss!! which is why i am sanding so much so you guys cant point out the flaws in the pait, but i bet ya will find some, lol.

May also consider tamiyas TS53 deep metalic blue as its dark, reflective and sexy, i am also in possesion of some window tint film that i got from the guy who just tinted my lexus, anyone had any experence with using tint film before on a model
