Calsonic Skyline GT-R WIP
Posted by FastasEF on Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:25 PM

Figured i'd post in here since I spend most of my time in the AC section and am currently building a model car. I'm a huge aircraft fan but cars are just my thing. I co-own my own aftermarket automotive company named F/M Tuning. We can import automotive parts straight from Japan and the likes.

Anyways, here are some of the pictures of the progress so far:

Yup, talking about real cars. I have a few friends who drive early '90s Sentra SE-R's. Fun little cars, one guy turbocharged his ... just last year I believe.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with my engine.  It has less then 100K on it so, I don't need to replace it.  I do need to replace the front lower motor mount though, it rattles around and is noisy as hell.  It clunks all the time.  Even going over speed bumps it clinks, thought it was the suspension but got down checked everything and it's fine.  Cycled the suspension and everything is fine.  Bounce on it and there is the clunk just barely, but not from the suspension.  Pop the hood, fire it up, gun it a few times and there's the engine rocking back and forth and clunking right on that engine mount.  LOL.  Drives me nuts.  As soon as I get working I'll be replacing that mount.  I will then be looking for JDM parts, and probably the Kaminari body kit for my car.  I like the way it looks.  Stylish but understated.  It's subtle which for body kits and ground effects is something I like for my personal cars.  You can find my car on cardomain under the same name, my username is fantacmet I have my sentra and my Datsun 4x4 on there.

Have an update on the Skyline. Trying to get it done so I can focus on the airplane I am currently building and see if I can't pick up a rally kit for the GB.
