Tamiya 1/24 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II

[tardster]

Does anyone know if this kit (Tamiya 1/24 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II) has an engine in it?

[Hiroboy]

No it does not, but the R32 kit does

[tardster]

You wouldnt happen to have a pic of 1 would you? I guess what im looking for is the body of gt-r v-specII but with a motor and such or would I have to get 1 of each to build up what im wanting?

Use the search function in the Completed and in Progress section. There's a whole bunch of them.

This is the kit you want

I did the same a while back

will the v-spec2 body fit on the gtr chassis, cuz i really want the v-spec body (i just like the nose piece alot more) but i also want to show off the engine detail.

[tardster]

ok sorry to keep asking guys but what about this kit (AOSHIMA 1/24 TOP SECRET Nissan Skyline GT-R ) does it have the motor in it?

[sjelic]

You can go to www.1999.co.jp, they have pictures of assembly guide for almost all of the models available so you will find the one with engine (I think this one is without engine to).

It's kind of amusing, you keep asking us questions about kits that have been answered a thousand times on here

That is correct.

As long as there's people here willing to answer those 'same' questions, they're not gonna bother using the search function.

I have to say though, USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION, it is your friend. I've used it countless times for decals, paints, etc etc.

Also, by doing this you'll not annoy Freakray

Problem is that you haven't realized the fact that you may know that a certain question has been asked a few times, but new comers don't.

The only useable RB26 motors are Tamiya's R32 GT-R and its Gr.A racing variations. Aoshima does make R32 GT-R with a motor, and they also released the same parts tree as a separate engine kit, but it's only the top half, and the complete motor assembly of Tamiya wins hands down.

Since Tamiya's R32 isn't too expensive, it's better buying a whole kit, and use the engine for whatever the project you're working on. Then, the remaining parts can be used to make a curbside R32 model.

Ok so what your saying is I should get both kits and put the motor from the gtr in the spec2 correct, sorry just double checking. Also im sorry I asked a question thats been asked before guys I did look real fast in the faq's but it didnt quite give me what I was looking for and by asking here in this thread I have gotten several differant options now. Ive been doing models for close to 25 years now and never once when someone has asked me hey how did you do that even though i've heard the question before, never once did I ever tell them hey go look in the faq's. To me thats just rude and could scare new builders off but thats just me and I dont mind helping people even if I get asked the same question a few times.

[nis.k.a.]

It's not being rude when we say "Use the Search feature". It's there to benefit all of us. These questions have been asked hundreds of times. Especially those pertaining to the RB26DETT.

So that a future question may be answered. Yes, I would recommend buying both kits but be forewarned. Swapping the RB26 into the R34 isn't going to be a simple plug and play. To achieve a realistic engine bay a fair amount of scratchbuilding is going to be involved. I would highly recommend clicking in HiroBoy's link to see what steps he took.

Good luck.
