Hi all,

Well i finished this build just before Christmas and really enjoyed building it,A few modifications were done such as adding seat belts and slight colour alterations to make it not so box stock.

Let me know what you think guys!

she is a beauty mate, i want one (real one!)

 

[yambam26]

Cheers Andrew

I would love one too, I have always liked them due to seeing the one in fast and furious which always inspired me in my childhood

 

[phalinmegob]

i got addicted to the need for speed games after watching that movie

 

[yambam26]

Yep same here, Its surprising how much the films inspired people!

Ill eventually build the cars that starred in fast and furious but maybe in my style just like being young again on need for speed aye

Cheers,Ben

 

[phalinmegob]

need for speed most wanted..........how cool being chased by ten police cars and a helicopter....in a virtual world obviously lol

Lovely job there Ben

Got a thing about car kits at the moment, I'm currently making Tamiyas Mk1 Golf. How did you do the black rubber window surrounds? Freehand with a brush or paint pen?

Atb, Colin.

Looks good.This is a bit of a cult car where I live (Southend).Still an impressive looking car.

Thats a nice and clean and tidy build there Ben, any chance of a shot of the interior if possible?

I fell in love with skylines when i blatted a mates R32 round for a few laps on a track day in the 90's, bog standard so only about 280BHP but jeeez was it responsive ... last time i saw him he had a 450BHP "monster" about 95% ready for the road.

Thanks Coilin, Just uploaded some now

Just noticed how macro can really show everything :P

I would love to do that one day,blimey if 280BHP was responsive i can imagine 450HP just being absolutely crazy!

 

[yambam26]

Thank you guys for all your kind comments very much appreciated, Its a iconic car which has influenced alot of people. Its a car that still looks good even now and even the earlier versions are still head turners!

Cheers,Ben

 

[CDW]

The interior looks smart mate.

I sometimes have a deep sigh when i've taken a macro shot ... shows up "everything"

And yes i would presume he has the monster on the road now and can just imagine how it drives

 

[yambam26]

Cheers,Colin

Yep its good in some ways but not in others :P

Blimey, I bet its a monster in this snow though!

Cheers,Ben

MMM R34 ! gorgeous job ben , it was the original Gran Turismo on Playstation 1 where i got the bug for fast jap stuff , i still think the R34 is the best looking one ,the new GTR is awesome but this one just beats in the looks , cheers tony

 

[yambam26]

cheers Tony, yep another classic game that inspired us all aye :P I prefer this version and the older ones to the new as the new one is more bubbly not so dominating as this!
