hey, still in progress of modelling the car, just showing some workin progress.

its for my final assessment in this 3d course. will be animating. but i;m so behind will probrably have to sacracfice some real detail in the car. its a shame, will definatly fix laters when i have time.

do u guys have any suggestions??

it's looking really nice as it is... some flared front quarter panels would be sweet :P

but you're probably more interested in finishing the fundamentals of it

whoa rrage, nice pic. i;ve never seen it before...(the vent thing)

yea..i would have added more details to like guards n stuff(mine look very rounded off right now, like a M3s front gaurds..but just really stressed for time... :) not even sure if have the time to make interior....... if i don;t, then will have to black out the windows or something :(.....

btw, i;m not using polygons, i;m using NURBS.

but yea anwways, in the final stages of modelling it now. just front bumper work, bits n pieces and tail lights.

Since i;m animating it, any suggestions for the background? have to start on that this week, was thinking a hardcore circut stuff, or maybe a toy r34 coming to life inside a hosue or something, with the works, exhust flames, bottoming out sparks, exhuast heat fumes and smoking up tires etc.

heres an update

hey fellas, thanks for the comments.

pretty much finished the model. just add some black mesh in grill, indicators nad GT badge. maybe brake disc...prolly not calipers...if i do will be crap and i won;t render a frame clsoe to it :)

but yea. heres a update. been expirmenting with paints, and rendering methods.

R32gtr, yea i;ve tried box modelling too, but not in MAX, in Maya....omg i hate using polygons, just fully gave up as well. i found Nurbs to alot better, its just that it can get heaps messy with outline curves everywhere and unnessacary high detail. whereas polys u can get away with a single mesh. this model now has about 80 seperate pieces. :D

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
