Building the 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R

[xDRiiFTzx1]

when you spray paint do you have to use primer please please tell me

[joh2]

@xDRiiFTzx1 I recommend that you do, otherwise the spray paint may react badly with the plastic.

[thucster5]

very nice model, did it come with the interior prepainted?

[joh2]

@thucster5 Thankyou! The interior was moulded in a generic grey colour and I sprayed it black to contrast with the white bodywork. You don't see this in the vid, but when I originally did the interior tub the black paint reacted badly, and cracked, hence I had to strip it back to bare plastic in brake fluid before respraying it again.

It goes a little fast, and a tip for photo's: Make a white back/underground and put the model on there, then make pictures. Your model will come out way better! btw the car is nice (for more info about the fotos watch my silvia s15 built model)

[superficialWounds]

ghost in the shell!

[sam46952]

whats the song called? sounds similar to GITS SAC opening :P

[vietxdan3]

where do you get those at

[joh2]

Mostly department stores, hobby or toy shops...

[homeboyx911]

hey Sirradal u forgot the GT-T...lol idk much about it but there is one sumwhere..

[Sirradal]

GT-T?? hmm.. GTS-t. I think that's the one. Yeah, I did forget about it. I don't have info on it, but I'll look for it.

[joh2]

GTS-t - basically a turbocharged version of the rwd GT-S 2.0, available in both sedan and coupe bodyshells - the blue 4-door R32 that I did previously is the GTS-t version (in model form lol)...

[Sirradal]

Please ignore my request for song title. (didn't read the details 'til now.)

[Sirradal]

'GITS' music, what is the title of the song??

Excellent build. Those were REVELL models right? I had a Camaro Z28. I trashed it before I finished it though. (I began building XMODS instead)

[joh2]

Thankyou! its Tamiya, not Revell (I have done a few revells though).

[SmiertSpionem]

Nice, i believe those cars are very good for powersliding?

[joh2]

Thankyou! Yes, the Skylines (and other RWD Nissans, notably the 200SX) are sought after as drift cars... ...although this particular variant (GT-R) is 4wd...

[Sirradal]

adding on to Joh2's reply....

The Skyline comes in 2 variants. (as far as i know, but i'm not an expert) The GT-S, and the GT-R. The 'drift' model is the GT-S. It's RWD. The GT-R is AWD (like Joh2 said). The GT-R is an excellent track car, but if you want do drift/powerslide, you're better off using the GT-S version.

[SmiertSpionem]

Thanks for the info!

[SHELBYJDOCKER]

Sweet vid mate and fabulous work....

Excellent, Shannon..it LOOKS fast! That turbo must be a screamer! Beautiful model! :) Jack

[joh2]

Thankyou Jack! Yes, the R33 Skyline GT-R was renowned for speed and handling (that engine/turbo combo when modified can be altered to accept over 800hp to all wheels!!!)... There's many vids I've seen here on Youtube that demonstrate the on-track capabilities of this car!

Interestingly, its predecessor, the Skyline R32 (the grey car at the end) was banned from Australian motorsport due to continually outrunning the opposition, including Holdens and Fords with engines twice the size!

Facinating!!!
