We should start a collection of 3D printable skyline parts.

these are becoming more and more common and will be a great way to replace those brittle and expensive plastic parts.

Post up if you have found or created anything good.

 

i have found minimal on thingiverse but...

nismo centercaps

I have the nismo center caps as a single piece.
As far as factory parts I had planned on doing exactly as you said but once I found out about the nismo heritage parts I didn't see the need for a lot of them.
If there are any parts that people are particularly interested in I'm happy to try create a file for them though!

N1 ducts could be done, but fibreglass copies are easy and cheap to get with no real downside? Vents are available from Nissan, I know they aren't cheap ( I have replaced mine!) but as far as creating every part of the vent to get it work would be a struggle to do cheaper and being such a visible piece would be difficult to get to match the rest of the interior and look of the quality of OEM. Mechanical parts to the vent and the slats could be done easily enough and they seem to be what breaks most often. door handles and surrounds can be done from Nissan for $100ish for both doors.
If someone has an expensive 3D scanner that can create part files from it would be worth it just to have the files... but creating the parts from scratch would take hours ( atleast for a major rookie like myself) and be likely worse quality and more expensive than going to Nissan

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
