Rezz, Have you considered exporting a car when (if) you leave Japan? The laws on importing cars in to Australia say that you have to have owned the car for 6 months and have is registered. Then you throw it in a crate...save your 12,000 Yen for a few months then buy a whole heap of cheap 2nd parts...throw them in a crate and come home...fit some to the car and sell the rest for a tasty profit. Your thoughts? (this is what I was planning on doing)

You can buy heat proof cold air box foam from Unique Auto Sports. It comes with a template drawn on it so all you have to do is cut it out and attatch it. Its $90 and comes with a tube of Silicon to get perfect seals round your turbo piping and a rubber strip for along the top to cushion it up against the hood. You may be able to source the foam yourself...its black/grey with silver foil type stuff on one side. I bought it but didnt ever get round to fitting it and ended up selling my car when I came O/S. I would have expected a good result too as I had 198kw/atw with only a little more boost, full exhaust (turbo back) and a K&N. That cold air was much needed!

I dont know about doing the wheels and lights...I think I like it better with them still looking realistic. Here's my second attempt...I did it pretty quickly but it came out ok. Auto Modellista still isnt out in the UK...well not that Ive seen anyway.

I love that front end...that with a wider rear...maybe flared rear arches and swollen rear quarters with wheels to fit and standard GTR fin....yeah baby!!!

Please excuse my horrific typo. Its "a new SKYLINE website"...not a Sklyine site. I cant even pronounce that! :bahaha:

Hey everyone, Here's my first shot at cellshading a car. Will definatley be doing more from my collection of pics soon. Ive started designing a new Sklyine website, hopefully it will be pretty cool. Will keep you posted... http://www.burningdog.com.au/geoff/cellshd...hd-veilside.gif[/img] p.s Does anyone have the SKYLINE font face? (TTF) Has anyone seen the game Auto Modellista...looks awesome! Only for PS2 so far. check it out... http://www.capcom-europe.com/automodellista/
