See now I like this, everyone thinks of the newer ones when they hear of Skyline but not me, I think of the underated ones, like this one and it makes it even cooler that you have a 1:1, you rarely see them.

[09WNS/14BRK]

thanks mate we love the R31

better then the R33, R34 & R35 are just

i will be posting 1:1 pics

in 1:1 Reference pictures when i can get some newer ones

(when the sun comes out )

Very Cool Car.

I Love the old 4dr Skylines.

Maybe I'm just getting older.

What year is that Skyline?

Would that possibly be like the Early Nissans in the states?

Maximums?

I recall (maybe) they had the straight 6 in some and RWD.

Remember those days?

I have a few Skyline models myself.

Even the Early 2000GT (GC10?) 4dr

Thanks Erik

[09WNS/14BRK]

yeah they are a nice car

year = 1990 Nissan Skyline GXE 3.0

yeah it would be the same Nissan in the states

yes it has a straight 6 n is RWD

some have turbo too

cool i have 2 door R31 model's to do to

where i live in florida, very little people know about the skyline period! i will talk about a skyline and they look at me like i am retarded.

the skyline i fell in love with has to be the 1970 NISSAN SKYLINE 2000 GT-R HARDTOP (KPGC10)

by the way, this skyline is now rare and hard to come by, ONE IN THE STATES WILL COST OVER $150,000 USD!

here is some videos that caught my eye!

I have that Skyline in Kyosho's AutoScale collection.

These bodies are superbly detailed and are 1/28 in scale. They are designed for the Kyosho Mini-Z RC cars which are alot of fun to collect, hop-up, and race. Some of us like to just simply collect the bodies. They cost around 50 buck's, sometimes over 100 for the ultra rare ones.

I think this Skyline is still available on ebay and comes in blue as well. Just search for Mini-Z under toy's and hobbies, and you want to look for the seller Hobby Japan. They have the best collection of these AutoScale bodies and they ship very fast.

I got lucky and found the 1970 Skyline 2000 GTR kit at a model show over the weekend and was able to pick it up for only $13. I can't wait to build it. I was able to get all three of these kits for $35.

[09WNS/14BRK]

many thanks for all the other skyline pics in a R31 skyline build guys

maybe i should not bother building if ppl talk about other stuff in ppl's builds

if it was a any skyline talk i would not care

i might post a for sale add for all my models?

[jbwelda]

before scribing the rear of them

scribed them

[09WNS/14BRK]

here are bits i need for holding the dash

to look like this kinda

here they are cut out

[09WNS/14BRK]

if the kit is already a 4-door then why are you remaking the door panels? are they very different in design than the ones in your 1:1?

Dave

yeah this is different to our model of R31

here are pics of ours here = http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19384

in this kit it is ment to have electric windows and other things are not the same

if i can not do it i will use the ones from the kit
