jbwelda Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I love these Silvias, I have a 240sx in real life so naturally I have an interest in them. nice to see insides of this "super detail" kit. does it have engine detail, looks like the hood area is open? I have a bunch of these in different variants on the shelf and have built a couple with full body kits. they basically didn't really fit real well and I had to do a good amount of body work to get them to look right. of course in real life they sometimes don't fit too well either so in that it was accurate. I actually molded in and contoured all the body kit to look nice in a kustom kar kinda way. jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tompidom Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys! Jbwelda i wouldnt mind some pictures of your models. This kit does not have any engine detail. I think they call it super detail because of the p.e. Set Edited May 5, 2014 by Tompidom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tompidom Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 I decided the stock speakers were not going to cut it, so i cut those of and put in some new ones I also found some rwcing seats and a nice sporty steering wheel to go with the rollcage I had some disks left over from an older build so i solderd those up and now im going to use them on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
