Anyone else done one of these? Not had a model kit for years, going to get a 350z model too so I can match my wheels and make it look as much like mine as possible.

Yes, you may aswell buy the whole car as the wheels alone aren't much cheaper! Get some TE37s for the 350z [emoji106]

Again, couldn't find these on there own so good find but there more expensive than the whole car!

Your Rota Grids are replicas of the Volk TE37, which are readily available in 1/24 [emoji106]

wow that's cool. is the off set correct or does it no matter on the models?. rite game on am going to order one now, I know I cant get a 99 spec bumper lol

Mine is still boxed must have had it 10 years.

Built a few myself over the years

Look good!

Had a spare few mins this morning so I started the paint job...

 

this looks cool, id like one of these once ive stopped burning my money on mine.

Did a bit more on this today with the weather being do wet and miserable. I painted the exhaust, gearbox and most of the engine. Then put together the gearbox, engine complete with rocker covers, sump, turbos, cam belt and fan:)

 

Also managed to add some of the black trim on the body. Should have more updates tomorrow!

 

Like the nail varnish !

Haha, I know.... I made a right mess of my myself:lol:

As Tamiya and Fujimi only do the SWB non turbo engine with turbo bumper; I geeked it up and modified it to the TT engine and as close as I could get to my wheels .:gunsmilie:

I'm seriously debating 3d printing a new bumper for one, i don't know how I'm going to get a bumper to scale in CAD though!

Oooh, could be a small market for them, I didn't think about 3D printing one. It would be difficult, I suppose a starting point would be to create a 3d box around an original bumper, take the box dimensions and start from there......1/24-25.

I'm working on it, if it works out I'll be sure ti keep you updated. I really wanted to make a custom Impul bumper for a tamiya model so i'll see how it goes!

That looks amazing! I hope mine looks this good when its finished:)

I've still got mine boxed with a set of 1/24 BBS LM wheels which were the nearest wheels I could find to mine at the time.

 

Think seeing the quality of work on this guys site put me off attempting it!!!

I've been thinking about creating a 99 spec for the front of mine.

 

The 3D should be easy enough, I drew up a 99spec front a few years ago.

 

I'm just starting work on my new 1/12 kit

I made the 3d model, I just need to get it sorted for printing now :)

With being off work this week, I did abit more to this today. Really happy with my seats!

 

I'd need to find a pair of teeny-weeny Recaros to put in my one of these! :lol:
