I love it! It's different and I've never seen it done on a car before this thread. Well done for being individual. I love the pic where she's in her hooded eskimo jacket with gloves on and the space heater keepin her warm, must have been a cold night in Misawa.

Can't wait to see th efinished product, keep it up! Oh and definitely do the wheels :laugh:

Just out of curiosity... How is she intending to do the roof? :nyaanyaa:

*In mind all I can think of is like those lan parties where you duct tape her to the ceiling and then slowly drive the car underneath*

Seriously awesome work though =D

like this you mean?

also nice work OP :(

haha that pic is so good how long does it take for the tape to let go

If duct tape is wrapped around something like a pole or support beam then it won't let go, provided there are enough strips of it to support the weight...it's only when you tape someone to a wall that it'll let go after some time.

Wow, omg I love this! It's amazing. Does she go over it once it's done in a clear coat or something, what about prep?

Gonna get the bf to give me one of his spare fenders to give this a try on, looks fun as!

that is pretty cool. don't like the lost birds bit though. the rest of it is good.

i'm assuming it is only done in nikko/permanent marker and not a paint pen?

I asked some Japanese guys if "Rosto Birdseh Racing" sounded like a good race car name and they approved. Haha. Oh well. Rosto Birdseh no GTR wa ichibanda!!!! See that sounds pretty good if you can imagine it coming through the intercom at the racetrack.

we parked the car inside so we could worry about finishing it, and the clear will go on afterwards. there were a few parts that were already cleared, but I might give them another go just for fun.

well here's today's update. Finished from the pillar all the way to the tail light above the first body line, and also removed the door so it could be inside with the heat while it's worked on.

That is one unique GT-R!

You going to do the interior as well or would it be too distracting while you're driving on racetrack?

Also how about doing the rocker covers in either silver or gold on top of black cover?

Cheers

haha, I'll be honest, I was like... what the hell is a rocker cover?? I had to look up the difference in terminology. valve covers.. ahhhh now I get it! I even wrote aluminium for you guys. :-) As far as under the hood, I don't know if I'll really draw the theme in, because it just gets so dirty in there. I'll clean it every so often, but I could only consider detailing the engine bay if I was building a trailer queen or something.

You're American?

Cos your terminology isn't what us Australians say.

Fair enough on not doing the 'rocker covers' / 'valve covers'

Cheers

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
