This is my car










just wanted to share these with you.

 

how'd u pull that one off?

 

where do i start...there was alot of work to get my 1:18 scale to look like my z...I still have to add the body kit and the graphics...it is going to look exactly like the big one...with lambo doors and all. i will post how i did it later...i will get back to you on that one.

 

We're waiting I want to know where did you get the wheels?

 

Very nice!! Come on... don't keep us waiting.. we need more info on this.

 

that looks sweet. I got to have something like that. let us know how you did that. thanks

 

That looks really great. How did you do that?

 

okay, this is how i did it. First i went and bought a 1:18 scale 350z from walmart...10.99 it was on sale. I was looking around to see if i could find a set of rims that match my GT-C...I found a Import Racer (eclipse) that had a set of 19" rims with a black center and polished lip. so I bought it. The eclipse come with an extra set of rims so i didn't destroy the other model. It also came with extra metal rods for the tires to roll on. I open the Z up and removed the stock springs and stuff. drilled a small hole to make through the car...(make sure it is the right height before you drill) I had to do it twice...I wanted to dump the car. Then i attached the wheels on the the metal rods and that's how i got my custom rims on the car. Next the nos bottle come out of the eclipse...I just yanked it out and glued it into the trunk...just like my real car.The hood is painted back alone with the spoiler...i am adding the greddy body kit and redoing my hood...oh, i am putting the graphics from my real car on here. It should be done in a few days....

 

The NOS bottle in your real Z is glued in????

There's an article in the January '04 issue of Hot Rod magazine that talks about a guy that does this for a living. You send him pictures of your car and all of the mods, and he'll send you back a 1:18 scale replica down to the bracket. The price is about $400 a car dependin on the amount of work, but for those not handy with a Dremel and an air gun, this might be the way to go. Sorry, but I lent my copy to the neighbor, so I don't have the details at the moment.

Great job with your custom 1:18 though. I'm thinking of molding a Nismo kit onto one of those cheap Hot Wheels versions to sit next to my stock AutoArt Z. Anyone do that yet?

 

I'm doing something similar, but not a representation of my car. Its a 1/24th tamiya with a resin cwest reskin kit, and scale 20s

 

Yeah, i am doing the greddy body kit, graphics and the stereo system....i will post pictures in a few days

 

Looking good! I was about to ask you where did you bought it. Make sure to post a pic of your car (the real one) too

 

okay here it is...my real car.

 

Looks great! wish i could hool up my car some more
(damn i need a job)

 

went to the la auto show, didju know there makin 350z models with body kits -aside fromt the 1/24 blue and red ones-?? supposedly there gonna be on sale this comming month... if im not mistaken the brand is jada toys.... herz a pic! they had 1/64, 1/24 (i think that was the size), and 1/18 models. i was like woah. lol.

 

those are nice...I will have to pick one up when they come out...however i still like my version better...it's the Ryder32's 350Z...
