jdmfan Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Heres a fews pics of a skyline i did a couple months ago . I scratch built the lip kit and rear diffuser also wide bodied the rear a bit more than it already was , exahust manifold and turbos and turbo plumbing , Ran oil lines and o2 censor lines and put in a oil catch can . I know its not everyones cup of tea but i like both imports and domestic . I just love cars in genral and modeling and try to build the models as id like to drive them . As i do own a skyline i have built quite a few of them . hope you like what i did with this one Edited January 13, 2012 by jdmfan
Haubenschild Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Chris these builds are amazing , I cant wait for more!! Edited January 13, 2012 by Haubenschild
Devilsnake98 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 What kit is that? Did it actually have an opening hood with full engine and transmission? Your R32 looks very sweet.
martinfan5 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I love me some skylines, love seeing them, so my cup of tea, man great job, did you make the turbos your self?
n8dogginz Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 If i won the lottery today i would buy a skyline and a real cheap house...or a supra its a toss up... Very nice good sir!
jdmfan Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 What kit is that? Did it actually have an opening hood with full engine and transmission? Your R32 looks very sweet. yes it came with engine and tranny its a tamiya kit I love me some skylines, love seeing them, so my cup of tea, man great job, did you make the turbos your self? thanks for the good comment . yes i made the turbos
trogdor Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I'm not a fan of the imports but I love your work on this one. Very clean and well done.
Dominik Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Great work on the enginebay - but...how did the turbos work? On the drivers side there is the intake, on the passengers side the exhaustsystem with the turbos. How could they work to the intake for more airpressure? It is a mistery to me...did the tubes go behind the front bumper to the intake?

It is a mistery to me...did the tubes go behind the front bumper to the intake? the turbos run from the passenger side down to the intercooler from the intercooler back to the intake side . this is how they they run in a skyline i used my own car to reference from when i did my first skyline build
Draggon Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Nice! I like the wider rear fenders and how low it sits, and the color goes great with the wheels!
krazyglu Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 This is by far my favorite kit you have shared. I love all the scratched aero pieces and the wide body suits the car perfect. Your color choices were perfect with this one, actually could you share what color that is? The coolest thing though, the thing that makes yours stand out is that fact that it has a engine and you detailed it. I am working on a curbside R34 right now I hope to share in a few weeks.
LAone Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 great looking R32. the RB26 is nicely detailed too. love it man.
jdmfan Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) how did you do the extended rear quarters? I split them from the body on the top and rear bent them out to were i wanted them and used styrene to fill the gap . Sanded the joints and used red spot putty to fill the joints . sand then prime and fill again if needed Edited January 14, 2012 by jdmfan
jdmfan Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 those turbos are huge. what scale? its a 1/24 scale tamiya model
h3ae86 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I can't stop drooling. Did those wheels and tires come with the kit because I have a tamiya r32 and it just comes with the stock set up.
jbwelda Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 those turbos and the engine compartment in general are excellent! super build and sweet paint!
jdmfan Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 I can't stop drooling. Did those wheels and tires come with the kit because I have a tamiya r32 and it just comes with the stock set up. no they did not come with it . there from a tamiya skyline r34 nismo kit .
RodneyBad Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 the turbos run from the passenger side down to the intercooler from the intercooler back to the intake side . this is how they they run in a skyline i used my own car to reference from when i did my first skyline build Really? SchaaWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!! That's like owning a 70 Hemi Cuda convertible in the States..(IMO)
