Simple, yet effective. Looks good. Your shots are also disturbingly sharp. What camera do you have/use?

Funny thing about the inspiration is that the real thing has no body posts. Seems if you really wanted to call it authentic and accurate, you need to trim your body posts!!! ;)

AWESOME! Reminds me of my Skyline GTR for my R40.

LOL i was waiting for that one... ya ya i know about the body post, i plan to trim it later... i was just eager to shoot pics and get it over :p

As for the digicam, its a Canon PowerShot A60... very nice i think so... actually im borrowing this digicam... sweet eh? :D

[Silent Scope]

I love the body posts.

[TRF Drive Hard]

Arent those great??? :D

[TRF TT-01]

It looks really nice with the decal. The long body mount sticking out doesn't look good. Cut them!

[Saboteur]

Play ring toss with em' post! :D

Fantastic color choice. Looks fast just sitting there.

[cnroman]

Cut the body posts please!!!

[FCACMilan]

I Love The Simple Paintjobs, Sometimes They Look The Best. Nice Job :d

[BrushlessHawaii]

don't cut those body posts - I heard the holes create downforce so you can hug the road better. LOL

Clean Paint job and I like the camera quality.

[TRF Drive Hard]

Ya ya cut the body post... this isnt the first time i READ it :rolleyes:

As a matter of fact, i wont cut it... ima leave there to irritate the rest of you... :p

[Aluma]

looks good TRF, but the inspiration pic has a silver stripe graphic...did you forget?

[TRF Drive Hard]

Ya i know... but i was mainly goin for the color and the wing type... if i actually had a R33, then ya i would have gone down to the letter of a true replica :o

i been critizied about it in another forum big time... talk about hardcore... :rolleyes:

[TRF Drive Hard]

BTW, where's this silver strip graphic?

[Aluma]

right above the wheel wells...starts at the front goes straight back... it isnt a reflection, its a silver stripe and has a 400R letters at the end.

[TRF Drive Hard]

OMG, i didnt see that lol... i totally though it was a reflection of some sort... D'OH!!!

[tadium54]

Yo ted, I'll see you on the streets yo! Race fo slips!

Wow, I will never talk like that again. Once again, great job!

[kitty]

Mmmmm...preeeeetty =) I really like that red!

You could always tie a small string between the front posts and hang little doll panties from it like they're on a clothesline, but then the pervs at the track might steal them.

[ofnawannabe]

looks great...body posts are the star of the pic ;)

[LEADFOOT]

what body posts?....I thought it was a roll bar :)

[TRF Drive Hard]

Well in some races when i flipped, those body post save my body from being all scuffed up lol

[McKB]

Nice and Clean... I like it :)

[TRF Drive Hard]

Thanks guys :) (and gals :D )

[abraksith]

Great job, I love skylines, one of the most beautiful cars IMO. Keep the body posts, you can stick the heads of your vanquished opponents or the pervs that are stealing the doll panties onto them.
