The Nissan Skyline will be the first X-Mod Project I am doing. The final car will be based on the well documented demo car of Focus Auto Sales. The car is a 1999 R34 Nissan Skyline GTR Vspec in the factory colour Lightning Yellow with white rims and some subtle body modifications. The guys over at FAS allowed me the use of images but in exchange they want pictures of the finished X-Mod …
Lets first of all start with some of the images I am allowed to use:
FAS Nissan Skyline GTR - front left
FAS Nissan Skyline GTR - left side
The work on the X-Mod Skyline has started by getting rid of the previously mentioned “imperfections” and paint stripping all over.
X-Mods Nissan Skyline GT-R 2
Skyline GTR Body stripped and primed
Jacko L. of FAS has given me following info about the body modifications:
Our car has a Top Secret hood, and Garage Saurus carbon fiber front diffuser, side skirts, rear spats and Nissan factory carbon fiber rear diffuser.
Those changes are mainly small additions to the existing Skyline body which should not be to hard to recreate from what I can see. The Top Secret Aero Bonnet will be the most difficult piece to model. It is a recession with a “spoiler lip” around it.
Since the rest of the car is stock and the original wheels seem to have been used that area should be done by preparing and painting the rims which are with the X-Mod Kit.
